Normally if you're broke you save and wait for a full buy. A force buy throws that out. The whole team spends everything they've got on cheap guns, armor, maybe a nade or two, and prays it lands. High risk, swingy, but it catches teams off guard who expected an eco.

“We're down to two grand each, let's force buy and rush B, they won't be ready.”
