A Heaven HE from A Main

Steps

1. From A Main, walk to the right wall of the corridor as you face toward A site. Position yourself about four steps back from the corridor exit, with your right shoulder pressing against the wall.
2. Look up toward the A site buildings. You can see the Heaven platform elevated above the site. Find the edge of the Heaven railing that is visible from the A Main corridor.
3. Place your crosshair on the top edge of the Heaven railing, slightly left of center. Aim at the point where the railing meets the first vertical support post visible from your position.
4. Use your jump throw bind (hold left click, then press your jump throw key). The jump throw launches the HE grenade high enough to arc up and over the site onto the Heaven platform.
5. The HE grenade arcs from A Main and detonates on the Heaven platform, dealing 50-80 damage to any CT holding the elevated position. The explosion catches players near the railing and behind cover on Heaven.

Tips

• A Heaven is the most powerful CT position on A site Anubis. Dealing 60+ damage to the Heaven player before your execute turns a difficult site take into a much easier one.
• If the HE grenade falls short and lands on the site floor instead of reaching Heaven, your crosshair was too low on the railing. Raise it to the top edge and make sure the jump throw gives enough height.
• Throw this at the start of your A execute, before smokes and flashes. The HE travels slower, so throwing it first means it arrives around the same time your faster utility reaches the site.
• Practice offline with these commands: sv_cheats 1; sv_infinite_ammo 1; sv_grenade_trajectory 1; sv_grenade_trajectory_time 10; mp_roundtime_defuse 60
• Listen for damage indicators after the HE lands. If you hear a hit, call out “Heaven player low” so your team knows they only need one or two shots to finish the kill during the push.
• Pair this with the Palace smoke from A Main and the A Connector smoke from Mid for a full A execute package. The HE weakens Heaven, and the smokes block the other two major CT angles.

When to Use

This HE grenade softens up the strongest CT position on A site. Throw it when:

• Before an A execute to deal damage to the Heaven player and give your team an HP advantage before the gunfights on site
• Information gathering to confirm whether a CT is playing Heaven - hit indicators tell you the position is occupied
• Combining with other execute utility as part of a full A take where every grenade contributes to overwhelming the site defenders
• Forcing repositions when the Heaven CT takes damage and falls back to a less favorable position, making the site take easier
• Eco rounds where even a small HP advantage can make the difference in pistol and SMG duels against full-buy CTs
