All Anubis Insta-Smokes in CS2

You can throw instant smokes on Anubis right from the starting respawn. This guide compiles 34 throws for five positions. Each respawn has its own trajectory and precise `setpos` and `setang` commands. The starting points on Anubis are close to each other, but a single aim won’t work for all of them. Sometimes only the angle changes, and sometimes the throw itself: from a standing position, with a Shift step, with W held down, or while crouching.

For the attack, we’ll break down the smokes into “mid-window,” “mid-door,” and from the owner’s seat into the “corner.” For defense—convex and deep smoke on “stairs.” There are a total of 26 attack variations and eight defense variations here. Setpos and setang are only needed for training on a local server. Setpos teleports you to the desired respawn point, and setang sets the precise aim. These commands don’t work in a match, so you’ll need to memorize the aim based on the map’s details.

An instant smoke in the “mid-window” blocks the view in the center of the map immediately after the round starts. Select your spawn point, set your aim as shown on the card, and throw. The guide includes 11 variations. They’re all thrown the same way: stand still and perform a Jump Throw by left-clicking. Do not press W, Shift, or Ctrl. For each respawn point, only the setpos and setang values change. First, the guide shows how the smoke spreads. Then it presents the cards for each respawn point in the same order as the starting points.

A smoke at the “mid-door” blocks another important line in the center of Anubis. The respawn points are similar to the window variants, but the throw itself is different. All ten smoke grenades are thrown with a single step while holding Shift. Aim, hold Shift, take a step forward, and perform a Jumpthrow during that step. Don’t stop before throwing, or the grenade will fly differently.

A common mistake is to throw after taking a step. If you’ve already stopped, you’ll end up with a regular Jumpthrow from a standing position. Practice the entire sequence: aiming, Shift, the first step, and the throw.

You can throw the owner’s smoke into the “corner” from five respawn points. Here, the throwing method depends on your starting point, so pay attention not only to the crosshair but also to the hint in the card. From respawn 3, you need a regular Jumpthrow from a standing position. From respawn points 7, 8, and 10, hold down Ctrl and throw while sitting. From respawn point 11, stay standing, hold down W, and perform a jump throw while moving forward.

The defense has four options for a convex smoke on “Steirs.” You can throw them right from the respawn at the very start of the round. All four options are performed the same way: stand still and use Jumpthrow with LMB. For each respawn point, only the starting point and aim change.

A deep smoke on “stairs” is thrown from the same four defensive respawn points, but lands farther away. Do not use the angles from the convex variant: here, each respawn point requires its own setang. All four smokes are thrown from a stationary position using LMB and Jumpthrow. Before throwing, check the name on the card: the aiming patterns for the deep and convex variants are similar.

If the smoke lands the same way every time but not where you want it, you’ve most likely taken the setang from a different version. Don’t adjust your aim by eye. Check the chart and select the correct smoke.

Most often, you’ve selected the wrong respawn. The starting points are close together, and the frames can look almost identical. Verify the map number against the setpos and don’t transfer the setang from one respawn to another. Another common mistake is incorrect movement. Smokes aimed at the “mid-window” and both smokes aimed at the “stairs” are thrown from a standing position. For “mid-doors,” you need to take one step while holding Shift. For the owner’s smoke, the method depends on the respawn point.

After using `setang`, do not move the mouse. The command already sets the correct angle, and any adjustment will throw the grenade off course. If you’re practicing without `setang`, finish aiming first and only then start your step or Jumpthrow. For “Steers,” be sure to check which variant is open. Convex and deep Smokies are thrown the same way from certain respawns, but their setang values differ.

Launch Anubis on a local server, enable `sv_cheats 1`, and practice one smoke at a time. Copy the `setpos` and `setang` values, then repeat the throw at least five times from each respawn point. The smoke should land in the same spot several times in a row.

Then turn off setang and try to aim based on map details. Once you start getting the hang of it, practice quickly recognizing your respawn spot and throwing the smoke grenade immediately after the round starts. To check, ask a teammate to look at the smoke from the other side. It’s important that there are no gaps and that the grenade deploys on time. If the smoke arrives too late, check your movement and the timing of your jump throw.
