Vertigo Callouts

Vertigo is not the newest map in the Counter-Strike arsenal, but it is a more recent addition to CS:GO's competitive Active Duty map pool. Positioned near the summit of a skyscraper under construction, this demolition (bomb defusal) map offers plenty of unique challenges.
This map and the callouts are the same (or very similar) in both CS2 and CS:GO.

Unlike many other CS:GO maps, falling off Vertigo is possible – which will result in certain death as it’s very high up. Both A Site and B Site are situated on the top floor of this map.

How to Use Vertigo Callouts

In Vertigo, mastering callouts is essential for effectively communicating with your teammates, especially considering the map’s vertical layout. Unlike some other maps like Nuke, Vertigo lacks clear indicators for distinguishing between its different levels, which makes verbal communication absolutely vital as players won’t be able to rely solely on their minimaps.

Accurate Vertigo map callouts regarding enemy positions, particularly in the central areas of the map, are key to success on Vertigo – not just for professional players, but even at a casual level. As you start to progress to higher skill levels, the focus shifts to monitoring activities around the A ramp.

Given that your enemies can approach from all different angles after they have gained control of the A ramp, understanding the names of these areas and being able to communicate effectively about them becomes incredibly important. Keeping track of the number of opponents ascending the Ramp, those positioned at the fence, and anyone attempting to flank from the sidewalk is important if you want to successfully defend the A site.
