All instant smoke grenades on Inferno in CS2

This collection features instant smoke plays on FaZe’s mid, deep banana, and against the wall. A total of 17 respawns are analyzed. For each one, there are precise setpos, setang, and throwing techniques.

The defense throws these smokes immediately after the round starts. The support player doesn’t need to run to a separate position first to set them up. Some grenades are thrown from a standing position, others while using W, moving with Shift, or while crouching.

Start with FaZe’s mid and the smoke against the wall: there are more throws from a stationary position there. It’s best to save the deep banana for later, because it requires precisely repeating the steps.

The defense throws smoke at FaZe mid right from the respawn. It quickly covers the center of the map and helps the team take up positions. There are six options in total: at respawns 1, 2, 3, and 6, you need W + Jumpthrow, and at respawns 4 and 5, a regular Jumpthrow from a standing position. The aim is similar, but you cannot use setang from an adjacent respawn. Also, do not press W where the map indicates a jump-free throw.

If the smoke isn’t landing where you want it, first check your throw technique. An extra step here has a bigger impact than a small error in manual aiming.

A deep smoke on the banana prevents the attacking team from quickly securing that part of the map and gives the B-side defender time to prepare. The article lists five variations. At respawn points 1, 2, and 6, you need to take one step while holding Shift; at the third, two steps; and at the fourth, you need to crouch and then take two steps. Perform the Jumpthrow while moving, not after coming to a stop. At the fourth respawn, crouch until you’re aiming and hold Ctrl until you throw.

It’s best to practice the deep banana jump separately. This will make it easier to get used to the steps and avoid stopping before the Jumpthrow.

You can throw smoke against the wall from all six defense respawn points. Five throws are made from a standing position. Only at the fifth respawn point do you need to hold down W and perform a Jumpthrow while moving. The aiming frames are similar, so first check the spawn point number, and only then look at the landmark.

Most often, the player selects the wrong respawn point. The starting points are close together, and the background in the screenshots looks similar. So be sure to check the respawn number and setpos. Another common mistake is unnecessary movement. On FaZe’s mid and near the wall, there are throws from a standing position and with W. On the deep banana, you need to take one or two steps, and the fourth option is thrown while sitting. If the map indicates steps, you need to perform the Jumpthrow while moving. If you come to a complete stop, the grenade will fly differently.

Start a local server on Inferno and enable `sv_cheats 1`. Choose one smoke grenade, enter `setpos` and `setang`, then repeat the throw five times. Once the grenade starts landing consistently, remove `setang` and find the same aim based on the map’s details. After that, restart the round, determine your spawn point, and throw the smoke grenade without lengthy preparation. Ask a teammate to check the gaps and the grenade’s deployment time. If the smoke lands correctly but too late, adjust your movement or the timing of your jump throw, not the aim.
