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.
