force buy
What does force buy mean?
Normally if you're broke you save and wait for a full buy. A force buy throws that out. The whole team spends everything they've got on cheap guns, armor, maybe a nade or two, and prays it lands. High risk, swingy, but it catches teams off guard who expected an eco.
"We're down to two grand each, let's force buy and rush B, they won't be ready."
Origin
Counter-Strike economy slang. You 'force' a buy instead of saving.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a force buy and an eco?
An eco is saving money and buying little or nothing. A force buy is the opposite: spending everything you have on cheap gear to contest the round anyway.
