CS2 Nades & Lineups
Every smoke, flash and molotov lineup across 8 maps — see the throw plotted on the radar, then watch the video.
Lineup freshness. These CS2 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.

CS2 grenade lineups, map by map
Good utility wins rounds. A single well-placed smoke can shut down an angle, a pop-flash can win an entry, and a molotov can clear a common hiding spot or delay a push. These CS2 nade lineups are grouped by map so you can learn the smokes and flashes that matter for the positions you actually play. Each one plots the throw on the map radar — where you stand and where it lands — with a video to copy the exact alignment.
Start with the essential mid and site-execute smokes on your main map, then layer in flashes and molotovs. If you queue alone, the "Solo-friendly only" filter narrows this to the 38 grenades that pay off without anybody following them — map-control smokes, rotation cuts and position-denial molotovs, rather than the site utility that needs four teammates entering behind it. For the full set on a single map, open its lineups page from any card below.
CS2 nades FAQ
What are nades in CS2?
"Nades" is shorthand for grenades — smoke grenades, flashbangs, molotovs/incendiaries and HE grenades. A nade lineup is a repeatable way to throw one so it lands in exactly the right spot every round.
How do I use these CS2 smoke lineups?
Each lineup shows where to stand, where to aim, and where the nade lands on the map radar, plus a video. Stand in the listed position, match the aim point, and use the throw type (left/right/jump-throw) described.
Which CS2 nades are worth learning for solo queue?
38 of the 118 lineups here are marked Solo-friendly. Those are the ones a single player throws and benefits from immediately — a smoke that takes mid, one that cuts a rotation or a sniper angle, a molotov that clears a position you are about to hold. Utility thrown into a bombsite to open it for an entry is excluded: without teammates moving behind it, it buys nothing. Use the "Solo-friendly only" filter to see just those.
Which maps have nade lineups?
We cover 8 maps — Mirage, Inferno, Dust 2, Anubis, Ancient, Nuke, Overpass, Vertigo — with 118 lineups in total across smokes, flashes, molotovs and HE grenades.
