In competitive context

Force buy explained

A force buy is chosen when the value of contesting the current round outweighs the benefit of a full future purchase. Score, loss bonus, opponent economy, available utility, and side-specific weapon value all matter. It should be a coordinated decision, not one player buying because they are frustrated.

Example call
“We can force around the saved rifle and still have a playable buy.”

Why the term matters

Before forcing, name the win condition: close-range stack, utility execute, saved weapon, or opponent weakness.

Use it correctly

Competitive language is most useful when it makes the next action clearer. Give the location, timing, or resource state needed to support the term. Avoid using shorthand as a substitute for a complete call when teammates need more information.
