An Italian village of tight corridors and brutal chokepoints. Inferno is the most utility-dependent map in the pool — Banana control and apartment fights decide almost every round.
Inferno — présentation et histoire
Inferno is one of Counter-Strike's oldest battlegrounds, in rotation since the earliest versions of the game. It was rebuilt for Counter-Strike: Source in 2005, carried into CS:GO, and received a full visual and layout overhaul from Valve in 2016 that produced the version CS2 players know today. It has been a near-permanent fixture of the Active Duty pool and remains in it after the July 2026 Season 5 update.
The map funnels both teams into two narrow arteries: Banana, the curved lane leading to B site, and the Apartments/Mid complex feeding A. There is no wide-open middle ground like Dust II's mid — every approach is a chokepoint, which is why Inferno rounds are won with grenades, patience, and instant trade-fragging rather than long-range aim duels.
B site is a fortress reached only through Banana, so control of that lane is the map's defining battle. A site, by contrast, has multiple approach angles (Apartments, Mid, Arch/Long) and rewards splits and slow defaults that pull the CT rotation apart before committing.

Côté CT (9)
B Site●
The courtyard bombsite at the end of Banana, ringed by Fountain, Dark, Coffins, and New Box positions.
Quad●
The stack of boxes at the back of B site; along with 1st and 2nd it forms the site's box maze.
A Site●
The A bombsite plaza beneath Balcony, approached from Apartments, Short/Truck, and Long/Arch.
Pit●
The sunken area at the edge of A site below Balcony — the classic CT anchor spot and T post-plant position.
Library●
The room with bookshelves overlooking A Long and the site — a strong CT crossfire position.
Kitchen●
The room beside Library closer to CT spawn — part of the CT rotation path to A.
Arch●
The archway between A Long and Speedway/CT spawn — smoked on nearly every A execute to cut rotations.
CT Spawn●
Counter-Terrorist spawn between the two sites — the hub all rotations pass through.
Ruins●
The ruined stonework at the CT-facing edge of B site, past the site toward the CT rotation into B. Anyone arriving at B from the CT half comes past it, so it is a standard check for Ts holding a post-plant.
Côté T (8)
Banana●
The curved lane connecting T-side mid to B site — the most contested chokepoint on the map.
T Ramp●
The ramp from T spawn up into Mid — the starting point of most A-side defaults.
Second Mid●
The parallel lane between T Apartments and Mid — the T route toward Apartments and Underpass.
Bridge●
The interior link between Living Room and T Apartments facing the Window gap.
Balcony●
The apartment balcony overlooking A site — Ts flash from here and drop onto the site during executes.
Back Alley●
The final stretch of the apartment complex connecting toward Stairs and Second Mid.
T Spawn●
Terrorist spawn at the bottom of the map, splitting toward T Ramp/Mid and Banana.
Apartments●
The game's zone for the apartment building on the A Short route, entered from Second Mid and exiting onto Balcony above the site. It is the interior half of every A split, so control of it decides whether Ts can arrive at A from two directions at once.
Contrôle du mid (4)
Mid●
The open middle area between T Ramp and Boiler/Top Mid, giving access to the A half of the map.
Underpass●
The small tunnel connecting Mid and Second Mid — a flank route both sides must track mid-round.
Lower Mid●
The T-side bottom of the mid corridor, below T Ramp and the buildings beside it. Ts stage here before contesting mid, and it is exactly the ground a CT holding the far end is trying to keep them pinned in.
Top of Mid●
The CT end of the mid corridor toward Arch, the same ground the community calls Top Mid. Whoever holds it owns the mid crossing, which is what makes Second Mid and the A Short route usable at all.

Bottom Mid
The T-side end of Mid near the Underpass exit and T Ramp.
Bench
The bench at the side of Mid opposite the Second Mid crossover — a lurk reference point.
Comment jouer Inferno côté T
Every T round on Inferno starts with two questions: who controls Banana, and is the Apartments lurk generating pressure? A standard default sends two players to fight for Banana with utility, two through Second Mid toward Apartments, and one holding Mid toward Boiler. From there, the bomb usually ends up wherever the CTs spent their utility first.
A executes revolve around the Apartments/Mid split: smokes for Arch and Library cut off the Long rotation, a molotov clears Pit, and flashes from Balcony let entries drop onto the site while teammates push up Short past Truck. Post-plant, playing Pit plus one Apartments player covering the site is the classic setup.
B executes are utility checklists: smoke CT (the gap toward CT spawn), molotov Dark and Coffins, flash over the sandbags, and walk in together. Because retakes come from two or three directions, post-plant positions matter — one player New Box/Quad, one deep Dark or Coffins, one falling back up Banana to catch the re-push. Practice the standard Banana and B-site lineups before playing this map seriously.
Comment jouer Inferno côté CT
CT Inferno is typically 2-2-1: two B (one site, one supporting Banana), two A (Pit/site plus Apartments or Boiler), and one flex in Arch/Library. The B pair's job is to make Banana miserable — an early molotov at the car or logs, a smoke to split the push, and falling back only when the utility runs out.
On the A side, the Apartments player decides the round tempo. Playing Boiler or close Apartments generates early info and picks, but dying there gives Ts a free site. Passive setups concede Apartments and hold the drop instead, with Library and Arch players ready to cross fire anyone coming through the choke.
Retakes favour the CTs more than on most maps because rotation paths are short and covered: Arch to B via CT, or Library/Arch onto A. Keep one smoke and one flash for the retake, hit the site from two directions at once, and remember the bomb is usually planted for Pit (A) or New Box (B) — pre-aim accordingly.
Duels et angles clés
Banana car vs sandbags
The opening fight of most rounds. CTs holding from Sandbags or Car meet Ts pushing up from Logs. Both sides use molotovs to claim the space first — whoever wins the utility exchange usually wins the lane.
Apartments window vs Second Mid
The CT in Window or Boiler watches Ts crossing Second Mid at long range. Ts answer with a Window smoke or a Bridge flash before crossing — dry-crossing this gap is a common beginner mistake.
Pit vs Balcony drop
On A hits, the Pit player fights Ts appearing on Balcony above. Pit wins with a pre-aimed headshot angle but loses to a well-timed flash — which is why Ts should never drop dry.
Arch side vs A Long
The Arch/Library defender holds the Long approach to A. Ts smoke Arch to isolate the site fight; if that smoke is missing, a single CT can hold Long alone for most of the round.
Quad/New Box vs Banana retake
In B post-plants, the T hiding at Quad or Dark fights CTs re-entering from CT and Construction. Sound discipline decides it — the T who repositions between kills is far harder to clear.
Conseils tactiques
Win Banana with utility, not bodies — trade molotovs before trading kills.
Never cross Second Mid dry; the Window angle punishes lazy crossings every time.
Smoke Arch on every A execute — it cuts the fastest CT rotation in half.
Post-plant on B, split between New Box, Dark, and a Banana fallback so one flash cannot clear you.
As CT, budget one molotov for late-round Banana re-pushes — Ts love re-hitting B after a fake.
Stratégies courantes
Attaque côté T
Banana Control → B Execute
Take Banana with molotov/smoke trades, then hit B with a CT smoke, Dark and Coffins molotovs, and a flash over Sandbags. Plant for New Box and spread out for the retake.
Apartments A Split
Two players clear Apartments to Balcony while two take Top Mid/Short past Truck. Smoke Arch and Library, molotov Pit, and hit the site from both levels at once.
Slow Default → Late Hit
Hold Banana, Mid, and Apartments presence without committing, forcing CT utility out early. Strike whichever site burned its grenades first, usually in the last 30 seconds.
Fast B Rush
Five players sprint Banana behind a wall of flashes before CT utility is set. Works best on pistol rounds and right after winning a gun round.
Défense côté CT
B Utility Stall
The B pair spends molotovs and HEs to hold Banana solo as long as possible, with the Speedway flex rotating early on any A commitment.
Boiler Aggression
The A apartments player pushes Boiler/Window with a flash for early Second Mid info, then falls back to Close Apartments or the site drop before the T wave hits.
Inferno dans le jeu professionnel
Inferno is a perennial pro favourite because it rewards exactly what professional teams practice: utility coordination, set executes, and disciplined trading. At the top level the map is known for slow, information-driven T-sides that mine Banana control round after round, then punish over-rotations with fast A splits.
Pro CT-sides are defined by utility economy on B — how many rounds the site pair can stall Banana without help decides the half. The map has historically leaned CT-sided at the professional level, and the tracked pro stats above show how that balance currently sits in CS2.
