Lineup freshness. These Overpass lineups were last reviewed on 4 July 2026. 2 tracked CS2 updates have shipped since (most recently 4 August 2026) — including a content update, so it is worth re-checking anything that lands near changed geometry. We track Valve’s game files daily; map geometry itself is not yet in that extraction, so this is a staleness signal rather than a per-lineup verification.

The lineups below combined into standard set-pieces — the throw order, who they suit, and what each grenade buys. These are common versions, not the only ones.
The standard Overpass B hit, all throwable from water and monster. Re-smoke Heaven for the post-plant — retakes come from there or short.
Utility, in order: Heaven Smoke → Pillar Smoke → Monster Flash → Pillar Molotov
A on Overpass rewards the split: with connector smoked the site defenders fight two doors with no help coming.
Utility, in order: Bank Smoke → Connector Smoke → Long A Flash → Short Flash
Overpass B retakes come from height: heaven and short re-enter with the two nades landing first, and the monster molotov keeps it a fair fight.
Utility, in order: Monster Molotov → Water HE → Long HE
Stand at monster entrance. Aim above the heaven ledge and throw a smoke that blocks heaven view over B site.
From the water canal area, throw a smoke onto the pillar position on B site. Blocks CT holding pillar.
Position on long A. Aim at the bank building edge and throw a smoke that covers bank completely.
From playground, throw a smoke toward the connector entrance. Cuts off CT rotations.
Inside monster, throw a flash that pops out onto B site. Blinds CTs holding site angles.
From the water area, throw a molotov onto pillar. Forces CTs off this strong position.
From A site near truck, throw a smoke toward long. Blocks T vision from long approach.
From long A approach, throw a flash over the wall onto A site. Blinds CT defenders.
From toilets/short A, throw a flash that bounces into A site. Blinds defenders from short approach.
Throw a molotov from canal that lands on heaven platform. Forces the CT off this powerful position.
From B site, throw a molotov into monster entrance. Denies T access through monster.
From connector, throw an HE toward playground. Damages T players staging there.
From A site, throw an HE down long. Damages advancing T players.
From heaven, throw an HE into the water canal. Damages T players using canal approach.
The best smokes on Overpass are those that cut off CT rotations and block key angles. Check the "Smokes" filter to see all smoke lineups. Prioritize easy and medium difficulty ones first.
Jump into a private match or deathmatch server, and practice each lineup multiple times until you can execute it consistently. Start with easy difficulty lineups before advancing to harder ones.
Each lineup is labeled with "T" or "CT" side. T side lineups are for attacking executes, while CT side lineups are for retakes and defense. Use the side filter to find what you need.
Easy lineups can be learned in minutes and are very forgiving. Medium requires more practice. Hard lineups need precise positioning and timing. Start with easy lineups in competitive.
5 of the 14 Overpass lineups are marked Solo-friendly. Those are the ones one player can throw and benefit from immediately — taking map control, cutting a rotation or a sniper angle, or denying a position you are about to hold. Utility thrown into a bombsite to open it up for an entry is not on that list: without teammates moving behind it, it buys nothing. Use the Solo Queue filter to see only those.
Lineups can be executed from multiple positions with slight variations. These are commonly-used versions. Once you master these, you can experiment with alternative approaches.
