If you’re new to the Counter-Strike franchise, and wondering what ADR means in the CS2 scoreboard, here’s all you need to know about it, including how to check it in your matches.

CS2 has completely replaced CS:GO, bringing several changes and new additions to the popular franchise. While most things, including the tick rate of the servers, received overhauls, the core gameplay has remained the same in the latest title.

With the CS2 scoreboard only getting a visual update, players coming from Global Offensive will be familiar with most terms. However, if you’re new to the franchise and wondering what ADR means in CS2, we have the answer below.

What is ADR in CS2’s scoreboard?

In CS2, ADR means Average Damage per Round. This simply indicates the average damage you deal each round as the match progresses. ADR in CS2 is calculated by dividing your total damage dealt by the number of rounds played in the match.

If you have a high ADR, it means you’re performing well. On the other hand, a lower ADR means you’re not dealing enough damage to the opponents.
