B Retake Flash from CT Spawn

Steps

1. From CT Spawn, move toward the B site rotation path (the corridor leading from CT spawn toward B). Stop at the entrance to the corridor and stand against the right wall, just before the hallway narrows.
2. Face toward B site. You can see the corridor ahead of you leading into the back of B site, with the elevated back platform visible in the distance.
3. Look up and find the ceiling edge above the corridor entrance. Place your crosshair on the upper-right corner of the corridor opening - where the ceiling beam meets the right wall at the archway.
4. Perform a simple left-click throw while standing still. The flash pops off the wall and bounces high into the air.
5. The flashbang arcs over the B site back platform and pops high above the site, blinding any T who is looking toward CT spawn, back plat, or the doors area. The high pop flash gives minimal time to turn away, making it extremely effective for retakes.

Tips

• This flash is designed to pop above and behind common post-plant positions, making it nearly impossible for Ts to avoid by simply turning away. It catches players watching doors, back plat, and the site center simultaneously.
• Time this flash to pop right as you and your teammates push into the site. The flash duration gives you roughly 2 seconds of window where Ts are fully blind, so coordinate your entry with the pop timing.
• If the flash pops too low (at eye level or below), your crosshair was not high enough on the ceiling edge. Make sure you are aiming at the very top of the corridor opening. If it pops behind the site (toward CT mid), you were aiming too far right.
• Pair this with a B doors smoke to cut off any T lurker trying to re-peek from tunnels during the retake. Flash, smoke doors, then push in with your team.
• 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
• Even if the Ts hear the flash bounce, the high trajectory means they cannot easily dodge it. This makes it one of the most reliable retake flashes on B site.

When to Use

This flash is your go-to utility when retaking B site on Dust 2. Use it for:

• B site retakes after the Ts have planted the bomb - throw this flash as you push from CT spawn to blind anyone holding post-plant positions on the site
• Supporting a teammate’s push when your B anchor is still alive and wants to re-peek - throw the flash so they can challenge the Ts on site with a flash advantage
• Multi-pronged retakes where one player pushes from CT while another comes through mid window - the flash covers both entry angles and gives both players an advantage
• Late-round clutches when you are alone and need to enter B site against one or two defenders - the flash buys you the split-second advantage to win the duel
• Force-buy retakes where you have limited utility and need maximum impact from a single flashbang - this one flash can blind multiple Ts at once
