B Doors HE Grenade from B Back Plat

Steps

1. From the B back platform (the elevated position behind B site), stand at the left edge of the platform when facing the tunnels entrance. Your feet should be near the edge where the platform drops down to the site floor.
2. Face directly toward B doors. You have a clear line of sight from back plat straight into the double-door opening that leads to upper tunnels.
3. Place your crosshair at the center of the B doors opening, at roughly head height inside the doorway. You want to aim at the middle of the dark interior of the tunnel, approximately one-third of the way up from the bottom of the door frame.
4. Perform a simple left-click throw while standing still. The throw is direct and requires no jump or movement.
5. The HE grenade flies straight into the B doors opening and detonates right inside upper tunnels, dealing heavy damage to any Ts who are grouped up and preparing to push through the doors. Players near the blast take 40-80 damage depending on armor and proximity.

Tips

• This HE is most effective when thrown reactively. Listen for footsteps in tunnels - when you hear a rush coming, throw the HE into the doors right as the first Ts are about to emerge. The damage can turn a 2v5 retake into a manageable situation.
• Back plat gives you a natural height advantage and a clear sightline to the doors. After throwing the HE, immediately follow up with your rifle. Ts who survive the blast are weakened and easier to finish off.
• If the grenade hits the door frame and bounces back toward you, your aim was slightly off-center. Make sure your crosshair is inside the dark tunnel opening, not on the door frame edges.
• Combine this with a teammate’s B tunnels molotov for devastating combo damage. The molotov forces Ts to group up or wait, and the HE punishes them in either case. Together they can deal over 100 damage to multiple players.
• 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
• This is one of the easiest lineups on Dust 2 since you are throwing in a straight line from an elevated position. Even under pressure, the reference points are impossible to miss.

When to Use

This HE grenade is a reliable defensive tool for CT players holding B site from the back platform. Use it for:

• Punishing B rushes when you hear Ts flooding through upper tunnels - the HE detonates right in the chokepoint where players are grouped together, maximizing splash damage
• Early-round aggression thrown at the start of the round to catch Ts who are rushing tunnels before they reach the doors opening
• Combo plays with molotovs - throw the HE first to deal damage, then follow up with a molotov to force Ts to wait even longer or take additional damage
• Force-buy defense where you need maximum value from limited utility - a single $300 HE grenade can deal enough damage to swing the round in your favor
• Information gathering - if you throw the HE into tunnels and hear hit indicators, you immediately know Ts are committing to B and can call for your team to rotate
