Tips & Tricks



Overall Tips

Play very carefully as CT, one mistake could change whole round!

Long is a very hard to take as CT, becouse of balcony, cellar and narrow area. Try to throw smokes and molotoves to get some time and strike T

Going to stairs as T usally ends as death, try to get cover with teammate or hide into the Stairs Hut

Meet point in aparts starts after passing Closet as T or passing Kitchen as CT, people sometimes stay with zeus there so prepare for that!

Aparts are more like "shortcut" for T then usable road for CT, take cover of it to prevent T to rush your teammates from back

Meeting point on market is very early: CT are visible from Right Street for T. This can give terrorist a good entry frag at the start of the round

Flashes are very usable on this map, have at least one every time

You can't throw grenades to tunnel from roof, skybox is blocking them. To get tunnel, you can try to peak tunnels (HIGH RISK!) or throw smokes at short distances to slowly move forward yourself into tunnels

Always try to suprise your enemy, never use this same spots and boosts round after round - enemy will remember where you was and prefire this place next time

Right Street is open area - while standing there, you are visible from Stairs Hut, Left Street, Stairs, Mid and/or Market; As CT you can get there and kill terrorist is Stairs Hut or as T this place is a "guard spot" - you can see all roads to CT

Italy have a lot of weak walls - most of them are easy to wallbang
