CSGO Most Common Smoke
Spots

Counter-Strike:
Global Offensive requires you to be mentally sharp
in order to make your mark in the game.

You are as good
as you know the maps. So, why not learn about the tight angles in the game
regardless of the side you are on. Whether you are on the counter-terrorist
side or the terrorist side, the better you know the smoke spots, the harder it
is going to be for your opponents to play you.

Why is smoke
important?

Well, knowing where to smoke is a critical key to a successful plant. It
guarantees you a safer passage to the Bombsite. You can safely reach the
Bombsite, if the entire way is covered with smoke. But that is an ideal
situation.

The best way to
counter this is to close the gap that is unavoidable; close to destination.
If you smoke at the beginning of the passage between you and the bomb site,
your enemy might be able to catch you.

But,

if you smoke the end of the passage, there is no room
left for your opponents to react.

Smokes Per Map

Here is a
list of compiled smokes per map that will make it easier for you;

Mirage

Bombsite A: Stairs

Stop as soon as
you reach the steps that are connected to the Palace Alley Platform.

From there;

• Go towards the edge of the step
• Place your crosshair in the middle of the pale line that is near to right edge of the step
• Jump to the first step and turn right

• Lineup
  your crosshair along the edge of the building and right side of the wooden
  structure

As you throw the
smoke from this spot, you are going to be smoking the stairs on Bombsite A.

It makes your
access to the Palace Tunnel and interior easier.

Bombsite B: Apartments

For your next
spot, head down to Bombsite B and stop with the green wheelie bin next
to shop entrance. Slightly push right up to the bin and turn towards the green
colored tarpaulin that hangs in the bombsite.

This is where
it gets trickier;

• Focus on the corner that is the
  closest to the green tarpaulin
• Look closely for a horizontal
  crease on the left side, it will be a wood piece poking out from tarpaulin
• Carefully place your crosshair
  between the horizontal crease and wood poking out

Now, the moment
you throw the smoke, it will land inside the apartments. It will deter the
Terrorist squad from pushing through. It also helps you catch the terrorist
off-guard.

Dust II

Bombsite B

Make sure you
are facing the exposed brickwork by entering the upper tunnel and walking
around the first pillar that appears on your left side.

From there;

• Rest your crosshair in the
  middle of the longest brick and walk into the pillar
• Focus on the speckled parts on
  the top portion of the wall
• Face the walkaway that directs
  towards Bombsite B
• On the right side of the red
  sign you will be able to make a number of marks on the wall; say it to be four
• As you put your crosshair up,
  you will see the smaller mark appears with a larger mark a little above

This is the
exact spot which will protect you as you walk-in the Bombsite.

But,

It will also
help you be safe from the B Doors or cars or even Counter-Terrorists.

Cache

Bombsite A: Truck

Walk into the warehouse and look at black and yellow line that appears on the floor.

From
there, notice the tarpaulin that is placed on the canisters, located right at
the building entrance. As you are about to aim your crosshair;

• Position your crosshair in the
  middle of the vertical line and a bit over the horizontal line
• Just as you cross the black and
  yellow line, throw the smoke
• It will be directed towards the
  left side of the Bombsite and will cover that particular area

This will affect
the visibility for the Counter-terrorists and will make it harder for them to
see the Bombsite.

Now,

It is time to
pull out an AWP and become the cavalry. Position the AWP at the truck and
quickly take the Bombsite B.

Toxic

Enter into Heaven and turn to panel on the left wall. Follow the steps below;

• Notice
  the white clipboard and change your direction accordingly
• Look at the top-left of the
  four panels and position your crosshair on the top-left corner

Throw the smoke
and as it covers the doorway, terrorists won’t have a spot to enter the
Bombsite B. It gives you a chance to guard the doorway from Heaven.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is all about learning strategies like these, so make sure you follow the instructions given above and dominate the game.
