What is ADR in CS2?

In CS2, ADR is simply the short form for Average Damage per Round. The calculation is simple as it shows your total damage divided by the number of rounds played in a particular match.

If the number is on the higher side, it means your performance is good. However, if the value is on the lower side, that’s fine too as the performance may differ from match to match for different players.

How to check ADR in CS2

If you’re wondering how to check your ADR in Counter-Strike 2, simply:

  1. Press ‘Tab’ while in a match to open the scoreboard.
  2. Head over to the upper right-hand corner of the scoreboard to find the ‘Cycle Stats’ button.

That’s it! Now you can keep a check on how much damage you have given throughout the match. However, the DMG metric is a bit different and shows your damage numbers in a particular round of a match.
