Nuke

Nuke is unique: both bombsites are stacked vertically. Sound plays a huge role since players walk above and below each other. Historically CT-sided — Ts need excellent utility and Outside control to win consistently.

Strategy

T-Side Strategy

  • 01Outside control is the T win condition — 3-smoke wall then take Garage + Secret.
  • 02Split A: Squeaky + Hut simultaneously with Heaven smoked.
  • 03Ramp control lets you play Vents/B slow with sound denial.
  • 04Vary tempo: Nuke CTs feast on predictable slow rounds.

CT-Side Strategy

  • 01Default 3 up top (A/Ramp/Outside) — Ramp player is your info anchor.
  • 02Contest Outside with utility, not bodies; the smoke wall costs Ts 15 seconds.
  • 03Heaven AWP covers both site entries — protect it with a Hut molotov.
  • 04Rotate through Vents faster than Ts can — use the vertical advantage.
