Anubis is a bomb defusal map in Counter-Strike 2 set in an ancient Egyptian temple complex along a canal waterway. It was brought into the competitive spotlight and has become a fixture of the active duty map pool, known for its unique water routes and temple-based combat.

Overview

Anubis features an Egyptian theme with temple interiors, canal waterways, and open courtyards. The map rewards teams that master mid control and make smart use of the canal routes. Precise utility usage and well-timed rotations are key to breaking open both bombsites.

Map Layout

Key Areas

A Site

A Main - The primary T approach to A site
A Connector - Route connecting mid to A site
Palace - An interior area near A site
Heaven - Elevated position overlooking A site
Pillar - A support structure providing cover on site

B Site

B Main - The primary T approach to B site
B Stairs - Steps leading to B site
Canal/Boat - Water route near B site
B Back Site - Rear area of B bombsite

Mid

Mid - The central contested area with sightlines to both sites
Connector - Links mid to the bombsite areas
Bridge - A crossing over the canal
Water/Canal - Waterway running through the map

Key Callouts

Callout	Location
A Main	Primary T route to A
Palace	Interior area near A site
Heaven	Elevated position above A
Pillar	Cover structure on A site
B Main	Primary T route to B
B Stairs	Steps to B site
Canal/Boat	Water route near B
Mid	Central contested area
Bridge	Canal crossing
Connector	Link between mid and sites

Competitive Meta

Anubis has evolved into a balanced map that rewards creative strategies and mid control.

T-Side Strategy

Mid control is essential for enabling splits and gaining map presence
Water routes provide alternative flanking options unique to this map
A executes through Main and Connector are standard

CT-Side Strategy

Mid denial with utility prevents T-side splits
Heaven is a powerful defensive position for A site
B site requires careful management of multiple approach angles
