For those wondering, these smokes will work on any type of tick rate server (124, 64, etc.).
Terrorist Smokes
Cat Smoke (X-box)
Starting with perhaps the most important smoke location on the map, here is how you smoke off X-box so you can cross the catwalk.
Long A Doors
Smoking the corner watching over T entrance for A long is crucial if the other team has an AWP. If you are reluctant to throw the smoke, you will most likely die immediately and the enemy will reload behind the wall– ready to shoot again. Throw this smoke to push A at all times past the third round! Here’s how to do it: It will land as pictured below blocking any sniper’s view.
Mid to B-Site
B-tunnels too dangerous to push? Tired of getting flatlined when you exit the corridor shaking? Fear not, simply head to B from the middle lane once you land this smoke directly in the Counter Terrorist spawn and split the map in half. Here is how to do it: This smoke will prevent enemies from directly rotating from A to B. It will also prevent them from shooting you in the back. If you simply think about all the spots you don’t want to be shot from, you will learn good smoke grenade concepts quite quickly!
B Doors Smoke
The first thing that’s going to happen when the CT’s on B-site hear the entirety of your team frantically running through the ruins is a rotation. The person who is also, without exception, watching Middle/Cat-walk will appear within the B-doors to shoot you instantaneously. Land this smoke and prevent that: A simple one, right?
B Tunnel Exit Smoke
A fantastic smoke grenade placement that pairs well with the previous entry is this smoke. Simply put, this placement blinds the entire back section of B site looking directly down the tunnel– but it does not blind you. If it blinds the enemy, but not you, it’s the perfect smoke grenade. If paired together, you will eliminate over half of the locations the enemy can directly visualize you. Typically, the problem of B tunnels is you run into a firing squad. Try these two smokes out in tandem and enjoy your economy runs again.
CT Smokes
B Tunnel Smoke
Seems like a waste to throw the smoke the Terrorists will most likely accidentally throw themselves, but better safe than sorry! If you’re expecting a hard B push, immediately throw this excellent smoke grenade and nullify it completely: The key difference between this smoke location and the previous one:
The previous smoke allowed the T’s to exit and never clouded their vision but provided them concealment. This smoke forces the T’s to blindly run through the fog, exiting the tunnel completely visible and partially blind.
A small difference in placement with big results.
CT Long A Doors Smoke
This smoke grenade will accomplish the same thing as the one before it and make the enemy exit a chokepoint blind. That’s the only thing it does– and the only thing it needs to do. Here’s how to throw it: Way simpler than it sounds.
CT Spawn Smoke
Remember reading the perfect smoke grenade hinders the enemies’ line of sight, but not your own? This grenade placement essentially makes you invisible and does not degrade your own vision. If the enemy is pushing through Middle and you want to stop them then try this out. They’ll have no idea what hit them: They might even think it is safe to enter B-site.
Retake A-Site Smoke
To finish up, a lot of times you will push too far forward as a CT and find out the bomb was planted behind you. You then have to retake the bomb site, one of the best ways to retake A is by smoking off your own spawn: If you don’t want to get shot while crossing the gap to A site, then throw this grenade.
Retake B-Site Smoke
A great smoke to throw to block off the vision of the enemy camping bomb site, if you need to retake B you can move through tunnels and utilize a variety of the smokes shown. This one is specifically better for CT’s because many players will sit by the bomb once planted. Here’s how to do it: This is the final smoke grenade location that every player should know for the game’s most popular map: Dust 2.
