Best Smoke Spots on Dust 2 (2021)
Since its official release for CS:GO, Dust 2 has undergone several changes. The gameplay in itself has gone through various metas. Below we will discuss a few important smoke spots that you can aim for when running an execute, increasing the chances of pulling it off successfully. This is an up to date guide fit to be followed on the latest version of the map Dust 2, suiting the current meta being followed.
Xbox Smoke
This is one of the most basic and important spots to smoke, simply because it gives CT a lot of vision towards the middle. The smoke cuts off the passage of information about the rotations being made by the attacking side, while also giving them a safe entry through ‘Catwalk’ towards ‘A Short’.
B Door Smoke
Yet another important spot to block, there are multiple ways to smoke this spot depending on where the attacking side is advancing from. The ‘B Door’ can be smoked from ‘Upper Tunnel’ due to the sky roof opening up, it can also be smoked off from ‘CT Mid’.
Also, to throw off the defending side an advanced lineup can be used to smoke this position by using the fast mid-throw discovered by Virtus.pro rifler Alexey "qikert" Golubev.

B Entry Through Upper Tunnels
This is a great smoke when trying to gain entry into the ‘B-Site’. The best way to smoke this spot is from the ‘Upper Tunnel’. This along with the classic B Rush can be quite an effective combination, the only position that needs to be taken care of would be ‘Back Plat’.
Mid to B Smoke
If the attacking side is good at selling a fake or win an opening skirmish that gives them control over B and Mid, then blocking vision through ‘CT-Spawn’ becomes a necessity. So the Mid to B smoke is extremely important when trying to keep control over an area.
Long Corner Smoke
This smoke is a must if the attacking side wants to win the duel towards ‘A Long’, pushing the enemy players back and gaining some space to work with on their way towards the ‘A-Site’. This smoke provides the attacking side with a lot of cover, giving them time and space to organize their advance further while at the same time denying CT free vision and information.
A Cross Smokes
This usually requires a combination of 2 smokes, so that the ‘A Cross’ can be completely covered. This gives the T-side a lot of space to work with and gain entry into the ‘A-Site’. 2 players usually need to work in tandem to secure this space, to block the entire cross in one go. This also denies the defending side free information about how many attackers have crossed over into the site, giving T-side a significant advantage.
These are some of the most important smoke spots on Dust 2 that every beginner or veteran should know. They can be imbibed into your existing strategies, or can even simply be used as per the scenario of the game. Keeping these smoke spots in mind and utilizing them properly will greatly increase your gameplay.
