Common Money Management Errors
Common economic mistakes: over-buying on weak rounds (losing full buy without gaining), under-buying when enemies are weak (missing free round wins), inconsistent team coordination (some save, some buy), forgetting loss bonuses in planning.
Over-buying mistakes: after losing pistol round, team has $1900 loss bonus each. Some players spend $4000+ thinking they have money, breaking the team economy. Communication prevents this: confirm team money before buying. A single player's over-buy breaks entire team's next-round plans.
Under-buying mistakes: with $5000 per player team total, buying pistols instead of rifles loses free wins. Understanding minimum viable buys ensures you compete when ahead. If enemies are eco, spending $2000 rifles is overkill; light utility buys provide same advantage.
Rotation-based mistakes: after winning full buy, losing players during execution wastes money. A 4-man team with AKs loses effectiveness. Careful positioning prevents losses of high-value equipment. Saving expensive weapons when rotation is bad strategy.
