Navigating Nuke’s Nuances in Counter-Strike 2

In the ever-evolving world of eSports, where adaptability is king, the release of Counter-Strike 2 has reshuffled the deck of tactical gameplay, especially on iconic maps like Nuke.

Players, who had fine-tuned their strategies in CS:GO, now find themselves recalibrating their approach, particularly when it comes to executing onto bomb sites with smokes.

Nuke, renowned for its strategic depth, demands mastery of smokes for successful site executions.

The changes in CS2 mean that fewer smokes are effective, but those that are, have become pivotal. The inability to utilize these smokes efficiently can spell doom, especially when trying to breach the formidable B site.

A foundational tactic for any team on Nuke is the default Outside wall of smokes. This quintessential smoke-set is a game-changer, allowing the Terrorist side to stealthily cross to Secret and descend into the B site.

To create this wall, coordination is key.

• The first smoke starts at T Spawn, aligning with a specific point on a truck.
• Then, a precise jump throw aimed at a particular part of the wall.
• The second smoke requires another player to position themselves just outside of T Spawn, targeting a point on the blue container followed by another jump throw.

Timing is critical; synchronized throws result in a formidable smoke wall, a linchpin in the Terrorists’ strategy.

Another essential smoke is the Garage smoke.

This smoke, thrown from a spot just outside T Spawn, allows players to move toward Mini and execute a split onto the A site. It’s a strategic gem, particularly effective against enemy AWPers and pivotal for controlling Outside.

When splitting onto the A site, a key smoke is the one that blocks off Heaven.

This smoke is thrown from a specific position along the map’s border, targeting a distinct window. This throw results in a smoke landing in Heaven, neutralizing one of the most advantageous AWP positions on Nuke.

As you embrace these new tactics, remember, the introduction of HE grenades that can split smokes in CS2 adds another layer of complexity.
