Mastering smoke spots on Dust 2 in CS2 is crucial for competitive play. Here's a comprehensive guide to the most effective smoke positions and their strategic uses.

A Crossing Smoke

Position behind long doors' car, aim at the tree canopy, and execute a jump throw. This smoke blocks CT spawn vision, enabling safer passage to A Long.

A Short Smoke

Stand by catwalk boxes and aim at the ledge. This smoke covers your approach from Catwalk to A Site. Combine with a Goose molotov for effective site control.

A-Long Smoke

From T-side, aim at the palm tree leaf near the mosaic. Perfect for controlling A-Long advances.

X-Box Smoke

Essential for mid control, this smoke blocks sniper vision from CT Mid and Short. No complex lineups needed.

CT Spawn Smoke (Mid)

Stand in front of XBox, aim at the wall mark. Blocks rotations between A and B sites through CT spawn.

Upper Tunnel Smokes

Multiple smokes needed: tunnel exit, right side close, B plant, and B doors. Essential for B site executes.

B Window Smoke

Align with markers before the wooden plank, execute jump throw. Blocks window defenders for safer site entry.

Mid Crossover and Lower Tunnels

Controls mid movement and denies AWPers early picks. Crucial for map control.

T Spawn – X Box Smoke

Enables fast mid control and aggressive early-round plays.

Strategic Site Takes

• CT Spawn Smoke (A Site): Enables closer CT engagement
• Crossover Smoke from Long: Ensures safe A Site crossing
• CT Smoke from Short: Provides tactical site control
• B-Tunnels Smoke: Minimizes exposure during pushes

Situational Smokes

Includes Scaffold Smoke and other situational utilities for displacing entrenched opponents.

Practice these smokes regularly and adapt them to your team's strategies. Remember, timing and coordination are as important as precise execution.
