B Short Smoke from B Apartments

Steps

1. Enter B apartments and walk to the far window that overlooks B site (the window closest to the apartments exit).
2. Stand on the right side of the window frame, pressing yourself against the right edge. Your view should look across B site toward short.
3. Look across the site and find the top of the pillar/archway on the short side of B site - this is the stone arch that frames the short entrance.
4. Place your crosshair at the peak of the archway, right at the top of the curve.
5. Left click to throw the smoke. This is a standing throw - no jump needed.
6. The smoke lands at B short corner, blocking the player holding short from seeing anyone exit apartments.

Tips

• The short corner is one of the most dangerous angles on B site. A CT holding short with a rifle or AWP can pick off players as they exit apartments. This smoke neutralizes that threat entirely.
• Because this is a standing throw, it is fast and consistent. You can throw it and immediately follow up with a push out of apartments.
• Combine this with the bench/market window smoke and a teammate’s molotov on van for a complete B execute. The three utilities together deny all major CT positions.
• If the smoke is landing too far to the left (not reaching the short corner), aim slightly more to the right on the archway.
• In solo queue, this is the higher-priority B smoke compared to the bench smoke, because the short player usually has the more aggressive angle.

When to Use

Throw this smoke whenever your team is executing onto B site. It is key for:

• Full B executes from apartments - throw this first, then the bench smoke, then push as a team
• B rushes in force-buy or eco rounds where you need to remove one angle quickly
• Default rounds where you want to pressure B site with two players - smoke short and fight the remaining positions
• Late-round B takes in clutch situations to isolate the short player while you plant
