Grenades in CS:GO aren’t just tools—they’re game-changers. A well-placed smoke can blind a sniper, a molotov can flush a camper, and a flash can turn a 2v4 into a breeze. I learned this the hard way, tossing random smokes that did more harm than good. But after watching pros and grinding practice maps, I saw the light. Grenade tactics are about control, not chaos. Take Mirage: a single smoke on A ramp can shut down CT aggression, giving your team room to execute. Or on Inferno, a molly to banana forces enemies into the open. It’s not about memorizing every lineup—it’s about understanding why and when to throw. Timing is everything; a flash too early, and you’re the one blinded.
Mastering grenades means thinking like a chess player. You’re not just throwing a smoke to block a sightline; you’re shaping the round. On Dust II, a mid-door smoke lets you cross to B safely, but pair it with a flash, and you’ve got a full push. Practice one-ways—those tricky smokes that let you see enemies before they see you. They’re tough to learn but devastating when they land. Don’t sleep on decoys either; a fake flash sound can bait a peek. The best part? You don’t need pro aim to shine here. Spend time in offline maps, learn a few key lineups, and watch how enemies react. Every map has its secrets, and grenades unlock them. At Omnikaze, we’re obsessed with these details—because a single toss can flip a match. Ready to up your game? Our community’s got your back with tips and clips to get you started.
