Which weapon does the most damage in CS2?

In CS2, as in its predecessors, the weapon that deals the most damage per shot is the AWP (Arctic Warfare Police). This sniper rifle can kill with a single hit to almost any part of the body except the legs. However, despite its power, the AWP requires precision and shooting skills due to its slow reload speed and high cost. This makes it a choice for experienced players who can effectively utilize its long-range potential.
