## Summary

This video presents a comprehensive guide to essential utility usage on the CS2 map Mirage, covering smokes, flashes, molotovs, and HE grenades for both A and B sites, as well as mid. The creator demonstrates specific lineups and techniques to help players improve their gameplay.

### Key Points

- **A Site Smokes** [00:38] — Two essential smokes for A site are stairs and jungle connector. They can be thrown from the right side of the doorway near A main using jump throws or quicker left-click throws for faster landing.
- **Mid Smokes** [02:28] — From the trash can corner, you can smoke off deep cat, connector, and mid window. Specific lineups include a jump throw at a darker leaf for cat, and a jump throw with D key hold for connector.
- **B Site Smokes** [03:43] — All three B smokes (market door, market window, and short) can be thrown from the corner near B apps. Lineups involve aiming at specific points on buildings and windows.
- **A Site Flashbangs** [04:15] — The classic lamp flash blinds close positions but misses stairs and sandwich. An alternative jump throw from the slanted wall blinds all positions including sandwich and stairs.
- **Retake Flash for A** [05:28] — From the trash can corner on CT side, a left-click throw at the diagonal roof part blinds the entire A site, useful for retakes.
- **Mid Flash for CT** [06:06] — From the corner along the table, a left-click throw at the top right of the wall pops a flash that blinds mid positions, allowing a safe peek.
- **B Apps Flash** [06:26] — A left-click throw at the top of a darker line from the corner near B site blinds the apps player, giving a teammate a free kill.
- **B Site Entry Flash** [07:10] — A run jump throw aimed at the bottom right of a window before hitting a bar blinds all common angles on B site without blinding teammates.
- **Molotov for B Apps** [07:34] — A jump throw at a piece of wood sticking out of a garbage pile from spawn mollies off the back area near apps, forcing Ts back.
- **A Site Sandwich Molly** [07:51] — A left-click throw at a dark spot on the top of the wall from the corner mollies off sandwich, useful during an execute.
- **Palace Molly for A** [08:08] — A run throw from the left side of a pillar, aiming at the top of a slanted wall, mollies off the position under palace window, preventing CTs from hiding there.
- **CT Side Molotovs for A** [08:31] — From a position near CT, left-click throws can molly off Tetris or the area outside A ramp, forcing Ts out of cover.
- **Default Molly from CT** [09:03] — From behind CT ticket smoke, a left-click throw at a piece of hay mollies off default, covering multiple positions.
- **HE Grenades for A** [09:22] — After the default molly, a walking throw with the same lineup damages anyone on default. Another lineup from a different position damages Tetris.
- **HE for B Site** [09:55] — From a corner, a run throw aimed at a white cloth before the steps damages the player behind bench for about 50 damage.
- **HE to Break Smoke in Mid** [10:16] — From Sniper Nest corner, a right-click jump throw on a plank lands an HE outside, breaking the smoke and allowing damage to mid players.

### Conclusion

This guide compiles all essential Mirage utility into one video, providing players with reliable lineups for smokes, flashes, molotovs, and HE grenades to gain a tactical advantage.

## Transcript

how's it going everybody so today I want
to show you what I consider to be the
essential utility for CS2 Mirage that's
going to be everything from smokes
flashes and molotovs all the way to H
grenades so before we jump into this
video I want to thank today's sponsor
skins monkey so skins monkey is an
automated CS2 trading site that provides
an instant way for you to get new skins
all you have to do is select your old
skins that you don't want anymore and
then pick out some fresh ones to trade
for it's as easy as that and right now
you could get a free $5 if you use code
t itics on the site and finally you can
get up to a 35% deposit bonus when using
my code so thanks again to skins monkey
for sponsoring this video so starting
off with smoke grenades we're going to
take a look at the a site first I would
say the two most important smokes for
the site is the stairs and the jungle
connector smoke so the easiest way to do
that is to come right here to the right
side of this little doorway and you can
throw both of these from the exact same
spot so if you want to get a teammate to
drop you an extra smoke you can throw
both of them for your team as they entry
out so starting off you can just do a
simple jump throw right here at where
these coils uh where this kind of wire
coils up just do a simple jump throw
right here and then do another jump
throw right up into the left of this
corner of the roof and just like that
both of these smokes are going to come
straight down this one's going to go
right here for Jungle connector and this
one's going to go on the far side of
stairs and smoke that off without
spilling down into sandwich to where the
sandwich players aren't able to hide in
it since the only downside to those last
two smokes are the fact that they take a
little while since they're jump throws
right at the sky the fastest way to get
these to land is by coming right here
into this position having a teammate
drop extra smoke and you can do a middle
click jump throw right here at this
little T in the bricks for the stair
smoke and then a simple left click throw
right at the top Center of this brick
for the jungle connector and that one
lands a little bit faster so they don't
have quite as much time to call out and
say oh hey smokes are coming in you know
that way the mid player isn't as in
position and rotated by the time you
start pushing out and finally since the
CS2 smokes are a little bit shorter than
the csgo ones the old CT smoke for csgo
isn't quite as good because it lands
right here on the right hand side of
this box to where the CTS are actually
able to jump up on top of this and get a
decent little angle on the a main so to
counter that you can come all the way
here into this kind of sled portion of
the wall here and just do a simple jump
there right in the middle of this wooden
plank on the wall and what that's going
to do is it's going to go all the way up
it's going to bounce off the floor and
land on top of this box fully spreading
into where there's no Gap whatsoever and
the CT certainly can't jump on top of
this and get any sort of angle from on
top of the box and moving on over to Mid
you can pretty much throw everything you
could possibly want from this trash can
corner right here you can smoke off deep
Cat by just doing a jump throw right at
this little darker Leaf right here right
at the end of it you can smoke off
connector by going up to the first
little stair step on this rug and then
you can aim right here towards the top
right corner of this door and just up
between this part of the wall and right
here hold D for a couple of seconds and
do a jump throw and just like that
you've smoked off connector with no gaps
coming out of the top You' smoked off
cat just like this and the mid smoke is
landed perfectly with no gaps out
towards mid
and now moving on to Mid there are quite
a few smokes that you can throw you have
a ton of options from back here so once
that mid smoke is fading you can always
remoke it by coming really anywhere back
along this wall aiming at the top of
this antenna and just doing a run Throne
that's going to go right back here and
should fully resmoke off mid window you
can also go into this position right
here and throw a ton of stuff like a cat
smoke a jungle smoke and of course a CT
boost smoke as you can see we fully
smoked off cap fully smoked off window
we've smoked off jungle and we've thrown
a smoke that lands right here on top of
CT boost so yeah obviously you're not
going to throw all four of those in one
round but hey if you have one or two of
those that you're able to throw it can
definitely make a huge difference as
you're pushing towards a in the mid
round on Mirage and for the final three
smokes of this video we're going to be
taking a look at all of the B smokes so
you can throw all three of them from
right here in this corner you can just
aim right up into the right of this
little window for the market door smoke
you can aim at the very top of this tip
of the building for the market window
smoke and then you can just do a simple
left click on the left hand side of this
part of the uh Tower and that's going to
be your short smoke so you've got Market
window Market door and of course CT or
sorry cat or short so a pretty good
three smoke setup that you can throw um
without leaving any gaps on any of the
sides so let's go ahead and move on to
flashbangs there's a couple of really
good ones that you can throw for asight
as your teammates are pushing out so
starting out the classic one that
everyone throws is by coming right here
into the middle of this door and doing a
simple left click throw right here onto
the lamp most people call it the lamp
flash as you probably expect and it
destroys any of the CTS that are
standing right here in this position
holding close as well as anyone over
here um towards default holding this
angle but what you'll probably notice is
there's one major issue with that flash
and that's the fact that anyone standing
up on top of uh Tetris here or sorry on
top of stairs here as well as back here
on Triple or you know tucked under
sandwich any of these positions well
they're not getting blinded by this
flash so what I recommend doing instead
is coming right here into this little
slanted portion of the wall and just
doing a simple jump there right at the
top right of this portion of the wall
here and that's going to go all the way
up it's still not going to Blind your
teammates as they're running out and
it's going to absolutely obliterate all
of these positions just as good as the
other one except it's also going to get
anyone standing here in Sandwich it's
going to get anyone up on top of stairs
and it's also going to get all these
angles back here on site even if they're
holding a super super tight angle like
this right that flash is still going to
come up and absolutely nuke them it's a
really good flash it is pretty much the
god flash for a sight and moving on to
the flip side of that if you're a T and
you hear the te start pushing out you
can stand in this corner right here on
your balcony go between this point of
the wooden floor and this brick pile
right in the dead center of it and do a
simple jump throw with a flash that's
going to pop all the way up here and
it's going to f by anyone up here on
Tetris and anyone walking out of a
stairs or a ramp and boom just like that
you're going to have a couple of free
kills if they end up eating it and if
you're ever stuck in a retake situation
where the te's have a site you can come
right here into this trash can corner
and just do a simple left click right
where this slanted kind of diagonal uh
part of the roof is just simple left
click throw it's going to pop right over
super easy to peek off of and it's going
to full blind anyone standing out here
on the a site and now moving over to Mid
if you're on CT and you want to peek out
by yourself you can come right here into
this corner along the table and just do
a simple left click through right
towards the top right of this little
wall that flash is going to pop right
down here you just turn from it and peek
out and boom you have all these
positions out in mid fully blinded off
without too much time to react as you
can see most of the travel time is up
there and they just take that and get
full blinded as they're running up
whenever I'm playing B I love throwing
this flash for my apps player I'll go
right into this corner and just do a
simple left click throw at the very top
of this darker uh line here that's going
to go all the way up into Apps and full
blind this player right here and my
teammate can be on either of these sides
here whenever this pops he can swing and
just have a very very very very free
kill on anyone running up through apps
and on the flip side of that if you ever
want to exit apps you can go right here
into this corner and do a simple left
click throw at the very top left of this
white stain on the wall that's going to
go all the way out of this window and
it's going to full blind anyone sitting
here either in jail
or if they're sitting right here in this
position right there and you can use
that to slip by and take a nice entry
pathing as your teammates are jumping
out of the windows and all the way out
down there towards van and the best
flash that you can possibly throw for
bite as your teammates are running out
is you aim at the bottom right of this
little window here and do a run jump
throw right before you hit this bar that
flash is going to go super deep out here
to where it's not going to Blind any of
your teammates as they're running out
but anyone in any of the common angles
on site is going to get absolutely nuked
by this flash even someone holding
really close right here is not going to
have any time to react whatsoever from
that flash and now moving on over to
Molotov this is one that carrian throws
quite often you'll just go right off
spawn right here into this position and
just do a simple jump throw right at
this little piece of wood sticking out
of the garbage pile that's going to go
all the way up here it's going to bank
and fully Molly off this back area
forcing any of the te's either back over
here towards kitchen or all the way back
on the outside here of apps and now
moving on over to the a site one of the
easiest and most effective mollies that
you can throw is by coming right here
into this corner and just doing a simple
left click right at this dark spot right
right on the top of the wall that's
going to fully Molly off sandwich and
burn out anyone in this position it's a
really good one to throw as a part of an
execute and moving on this is in my
opinion the most important Molotov for
as site Mirage every single time you
want your Palace player to throw this
you just go to the left hand side of
this pillar aim at the very top of this
slanted portion of the wall and you're
going to do a run throw the second that
you cross this portion of the doorway so
you're just going to right here and
release right about now and every single
time it's going to go all the way down
here and fully Molly off this position
to where no CTS can stand under here
whatsoever so moving on to the CT side
of things there's a couple of really
great molotovs you can throw from this
position right here if you feel like the
teas are going to start pushing out you
can do a simple left click throw on
anywhere along this kind of Darker spot
on the wall it's going to go all the way
up here and it's going to Molly off
Tetris completely it'll spread all the
way to this back corner forcing them out
of the super safe position giving your
teammates a pretty free Kill from that
same exact position you can do a simple
left click throw on the right hand side
of this wooden plank and that's going to
go all the way to here and it's going to
spread from the far left corner all the
way to the far right uh taking away in
any of that cover that the te's may be
sitting in right outside of a ramp and
finally if you're ever stuck behind this
CT ticket smoke you can come right here
into this corner and do a simple left
click through with the Molly right at
this little piece of hay and that's
going to go all the way up here and
fully Molly off all of default from this
position all the way to pretty much
every spot that anyone would be planning
in for this site and now moving on to
our last piece of utility the H grenade
right after you throw that Molly I just
showed you can take a little bitty step
with an h and absolutely nuke anyone
that's standing here on default um by
just doing a simple walking throw with
an H in that same exact lineup similarly
you can come into this position right
here and just aim right at where this
Shadow splits this plank in half and a
simple left click throw with an h and
that's going to absolutely eviscerate
anyone standing here on Tetris it's a
really good one to throw whenever you
feel like the t's have taken that
control right there moving back over to
the B site if you go right here into
this corner you can absolutely
obliterate the player behind bench just
by aiming right here at this little
white piece of cloth hanging down from
the window and doing a run throw right
before you hit the steps and boom that's
going to land right there doing right at
50 damage to anyone standing in this
area uh you just want to make sure you
release right before you hit the
staircase and finally for the last H if
they've ever smoked you off right here
in Sniper Nest you can go right here
into this corner and just do a right
click jump throw right around here on
this plank that H is going to land on
that outside here fully break the smoke
and allow you to obliterate anyone
that's walking out here in mid so yeah I
hope all of this utility helps you out
