Category:Grenades

Grenades (utility) are the tactical backbone of competitive Counter-Strike 2. Proper grenade usage separates top-level play from casual matches. CS2 introduced volumetric smoke grenades that react to bullets and explosions.

Available Grenades

• Smoke Grenade ($300) — Blocks vision for ~18 seconds, volumetric in CS2
• Flashbang ($200) — Blinds enemies, carry up to 2
• HE Grenade ($300) — Area damage, up to 98 on unarmored
• Molotov (T, $400) / Incendiary (CT, $600) — Area denial fire, extinguished by smoke
• Decoy ($50) — Mimics weapon sounds, explodes for minor damage

Key Concepts

• Execute smokes — Coordinated smoke walls to take bombsites
• Pop flashes — Flashbangs that detonate immediately on peeking
• One-way smokes — Smoke placement that lets one side see under/over
• Molly denial — Preventing plants, defuses, or pushes with fire
