sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the most important T-side Nuke smokes to learn:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='outside-smoke-wall-to-cross-secret'  id=\"boomdevs_3\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outside Smoke Wall to Cross Secret<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Outside wall is one of the most important pieces of utility on Nuke. Rather than throwing a single smoke and hoping to cross safely, teams normally use two coordinated smokes to create a continuous visual barrier between T Spawn and Secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id='smoke-1-first-outside-wall-smoke'  id=\"boomdevs_4\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smoke 1: First Outside Wall Smoke<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The first smoke covers the initial section of Outside and helps block CT vision from common positions around Garage and Heaven. Throw it early enough that your team can move into position before the smoke begins to fade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its main purpose is not simply to hide one player. It creates the first section of the wall that allows the team to move toward Secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id='smoke-2-second-outside-wall-smoke'  id=\"boomdevs_5\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smoke 2: Second Outside Wall Smoke<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The second smoke completes the wall toward <a href=\"https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/cs2-nuke-callouts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Secret<\/a>. Ideally, the two smokes overlap enough to prevent defenders from finding a clear gap between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once both smokes are down, Ts can move through Outside and descend toward Secret while CTs are forced to reposition or challenge through the smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='garage-smoke-for-outside-control'  id=\"boomdevs_6\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Garage Smoke for Outside Control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A Garage smoke blocks one of the most important CT sightlines into Outside. It can be used alongside the Outside wall or independently when your team wants to establish control without immediately committing to Secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The smoke also makes it harder for CTs to gather information from Garage and can force them to play closer to Heaven, Mini, or the A site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='mini-smoke-for-an-a-site-execute'  id=\"boomdevs_7\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mini Smoke for an A-Site Execute<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mini smoke helps reduce visibility around the Mini area during an A-site execute. When combined with Heaven and other site utility, it can make the A bombsite easier to enter by limiting the angles defenders can use to fight from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use it as part of a coordinated execute rather than throwing it randomly at the beginning of the round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='heaven-smoke-for-an-a-site-execute'  id=\"boomdevs_8\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heaven Smoke for an A-Site Execute<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Heaven is one of the strongest defensive positions overlooking A. A well-placed Heaven smoke removes a powerful elevated angle and gives Ts more freedom to enter the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This smoke is particularly valuable when the execute involves multiple players coming through Hut, Squeaky, or Main.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='ramp-smoke-for-lower-site-pressure'  id=\"boomdevs_9\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ramp Smoke for Lower-Site Pressure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A Ramp smoke can restrict the defenders&#8217; ability to contest players moving toward B. It is useful for slowing rotations and creating uncertainty about whether the T-side is committing to Lower or simply using Ramp as a pressure point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='ct-side-nuke-smokes'  id=\"boomdevs_10\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">CT-Side Nuke Smokes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-03-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"CT-Side Nuke Smokes\" class=\"wp-image-32356\" data-full=\"https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-03.webp\" data-full-size=\"1920x1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-03-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-03-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-03-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-03-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-03-1916x1080.webp 1916w, https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-03.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Master the following CT-side Nuke smokes and you will quickly improve your win rate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='outside-t-red-denial-smoke'  id=\"boomdevs_11\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outside \/ T Red Denial Smoke<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CTs can use an Outside smoke to deny early T-side movement and disrupt the standard Outside wall setup. The goal is to prevent Ts from comfortably taking Outside control and reaching Secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than treating it as a permanent barrier, use the smoke to buy time for teammates to establish defensive positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='ramp-or-lobby-delay-smoke'  id=\"boomdevs_12\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ramp or Lobby Delay Smoke<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A Ramp or Lobby smoke can delay an aggressive T-side push and force Ts to wait, reposition, or spend additional utility. This is especially useful when CTs need time for rotations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The value comes from timing: a smoke thrown too early may disappear before the Ts commit, while a well-timed smoke can interrupt the execute itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='retake-smoke-worth-learning'  id=\"boomdevs_13\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Retake Smoke Worth Learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For retakes, prioritize smokes that cut the bombsite into smaller sections and block the strongest angles available to the attackers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A smoke between the retaking CTs and the planted bomb can create space for a defuse attempt or force attackers to fight through limited visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='simple-nuke-smoke-executes'  id=\"boomdevs_14\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simple Nuke Smoke Executes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-04-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Simple Nuke Smoke Executes\" class=\"wp-image-32357\" data-full=\"https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-04.webp\" data-full-size=\"1920x1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-04-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-04-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-04-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-04-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-04-1916x1080.webp 1916w, https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CS2-Nuke-Smokes-04.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have much team cohesion and want to use simple Nuke smoke executes, these are the best ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='outside-to-secret-execute'  id=\"boomdevs_15\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outside to Secret Execute<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The classic Outside-to-Secret setup uses the two-smoke wall to allow multiple Ts to cross toward Secret. One player can throw the first smoke while another completes the wall, after which the team crosses together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The important part is coordination. Everyone should know whether the plan is Secret control, a B split, or simply Outside pressure before the smokes are thrown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='upper-a-site-execute'  id=\"boomdevs_16\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upper \/ A-Site Execute<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A basic A execute can combine Heaven, Mini, and site-entry utility. The smokes remove major defensive sightlines while flashes and molotovs clear common positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is to reduce the number of angles the entry players need to fight simultaneously. Once the first players enter, teammates should quickly trade kills and secure the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tradeit-mid-cta\">\n  <div class=\"cta-content\">\n    <span class=\"cta-title\">Got your Nuke utility ready?<\/span>\n    <p>Browse CS2 skins on Tradeit for the rifles and pistols you use in your executes. \u2192<\/p>\n\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/tradeit.gg\/csgo\/store\"\n       target=\"_blank\"\n       rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n      Buy CS2 Skins\n    <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='how-to-practice-these-nuke-smokes'  id=\"boomdevs_17\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Practice These Nuke Smokes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a private practice server and work through the lineups one at a time.
