How to smoke, molotov & flash in Overpass in CS2

Whether you’re playing as a Counter-Terrorist (defending) or playing as a Terrorist (attacking) in CS2, with the right grenade lineups you can block vision, inflict damage, or simply blind your enemies.

Starting with the most important grenade you can carry, we’ve listed all the Overpass smokes you should know in CS2 below.

CS2: How to smoke A-Site in Overpass

In order to ensure you effectively block enemies’ vision while you make your way towards the A bomb site in CS2’s Overpass, you should know how to smoke off three key areas: Bank, A-Site stairs, and the default position.

Bank Smoke

Align yourself up against the first wall of the Toilet entrance while aiming your crosshair right above top topmost window of the bank, and perform a standard throw.

A-Site Stairs Smoke

From the same position as above, move your crosshair to the exact height of the bank’s building, while aligned with the letter “m” below. Then, perform a regular throw to smoke off A-Site’s stairs area.

A-Site Default Smoke

Align yourself up against the same wall as above while moving your crosshair right above where the lamp bends, and perform a standard throw.

CS2: How to smoke Mid in Overpass

Taking mid-control, at the start of most rounds, in CS2’s Overpass is vital to gain info along with the option to attack either bomb site. It’s easy to take control of the Mid area with just the Toilets smoked. For the opponents holding the A-Short area next to the Toilets, you can simply use a flash.

Mid Toilets Smoke

Position yourself against the pillar shown in the image below and aim at the pillar’s edge. Perform a standard throw to smoke off the Toilets in Mid.

Mid Toilets Smoke (From Terrorist Spawn)

The same smoke can be performed from the T spawn itself. To do so, position yourself at the corner, opposite the stairs, and turn to aim your crosshair with the curved leaf. Then, while walking (hold shift) a couple of steps, perform a jump throw.

CS2: How to smoke B-Site in Overpass

You’ll have an easier time taking control of the B bomb site in CS2’s Overpass if you smoke off these areas: Bridge and the default position. Additionally, you can provide support to your CT teammates defending the B-Site by smoking off the Monster and A-Short positions from the back of the A-site.

B-Site Bride Smoke

Stand against the green barrel outside the Monster area in CS2’s Overpass and perform a standard throw after positioning your crosshair like in the image below.

B-Site Default Smoke

Stay in the same position as above and align your crosshair as shown in the image below. Then, perform a regular throw.

B Heaven Smoke

Position yourself against the wooden board that points to the B-Site. Then, aim your crosshair as shown in the image below and perform a standard throw.

Monster Smoke (From A-Site)

Stand and crouch next to the green garbage bin on A-Site in CS2’s Overpass. Position your crosshair like in the image below and perform a jump throw.

B-Short Smoke (From A-Site)

While in the same position as above, aim at the edge of the tower, as shown below. Then, perform a regular throw to smoke off B-Short.

While most of the smokes above are for the T side, if you’re wondering about more lineups for the CT side smokes, you don’t need them. On the CT side, you can just smoke off the entrances/chokepoints.

Additionally, you can hold off on using your smokes and save them for retaking sites after the bomb’s been planted.

CS2: Important Molotov lineups for A & B bomb sites

While attacking the A-Site, you should know how to molly the truck area. On the other hand, while making your way into the B-Site, if you’re not smoking off the barrels, you should molly to move the enemies off of that position.

A-Site Truck Molotov

Position yourself up against the first wall of the Toilet entrance and align your crosshair as shown in the image below. Finally, perform a jump throw to molly off the truck area in the A bomb site.

B-Site Barrel Molotov

Stand next to the wooden board in Water and position your crosshair like in the image below. Then, perform a jump throw to molly off the B barrels.

CS2: Best flashes for Overpass

There are no specific flash lineups you need to keep in mind while queuing for CS2’s Overpass. However, here are a few tips to help you utilize your flash grenade in the best way possible:

• Always flash behind your teammates if you’re trying to support them with a flash. If you’re using a mic, call the flash while you’re throwing it so they’re aware of your flash.
• Learn pop flashes as they’re harder to dodge and predict.
• Always flash before peeking in areas where AWPers are most likely holding.
• A couple of flashes before executing a rush can give you easy control of the area.

So there you have it! That’s all the smokes, molotov grenades, and flash lineups you need to know for Overpass in CS2. For more on CS2, make sure to check out the following:
