B Tunnels Entry Flash from Upper Tunnels

Steps

1. From upper tunnels, move toward the B site exit and stop about 5 steps before the tunnel opens up. Position yourself in the center of the tunnel passage.
2. Look up toward the ceiling of the tunnel. Find the edge where the tunnel ceiling meets the opening to B site - there is a visible lip where the enclosed tunnel transitions to the open sky.
3. Place your crosshair at the top edge of the tunnel opening, slightly above the ceiling lip. You want to aim just past the overhang so the flash clears the tunnel and pops in the open air above the exit.
4. Perform a standing left-click throw (overhand). Hold left click and release.
5. The flashbang arcs out of the tunnel and pops just above the B tunnels exit, blinding any CT watching the tunnel from platform, big box, or the back of B site.

Tips

• This is a straightforward flash that is easy to learn and very effective. The flash pops above the tunnel exit where CTs cannot easily look away because the sky is directly above them.
• Since it is a standing overhand throw, there is no need for a jump throw bind or special timing. This makes it reliable even under pressure during a fast B rush.
• Throw this flash right before your team pushes out of the tunnel. The flash window is short - your team needs to be ready to exit immediately after it pops.
• If you throw the flash too low (hitting the ceiling), it will bounce back into the tunnel and flash your own team. Make sure you aim above the ceiling lip.
• Combine this flash with the B doors smoke and B site smoke for a proper B execute. The smokes block CT vision while the flash blinds anyone who is playing aggressively.
• Practice commands: sv_cheats 1; sv_infinite_ammo 1; sv_grenade_trajectory 1; sv_grenade_trajectory_time 10; mp_roundtime_defuse 60

When to Use

Use this flash when your team is pushing through upper tunnels to B site:

• B rushes - flash out of the tunnel and push as a unit for a fast site take
• B executes - pair with smokes to isolate the site, then flash your team out for a clean entry
• Eco/force rounds where your team commits to a B hit and needs to blind defenders before exiting the tunnel
• Late-round B hits when time is running out and you need a quick entry onto the bombsite
