Outside HE Grenade from Heaven

Steps

1. From heaven, walk to the back side of the platform that has a sightline toward outside. Position yourself near the window or gap that overlooks the outside yard area.
2. Look out toward the outside yard. Find the open area where Ts cross from their spawn toward garage, mini, or secret. Focus on the main crossing path at ground level.
3. Place your crosshair on the center of the crossing path on the outside yard floor. Aim at the point where Ts are most likely to be grouped when moving from cover to cover.
4. Throw with a standing left click from your elevated position. The height advantage from heaven gives the HE a natural arc that drops it into the outside yard.
5. The HE grenade drops into the outside yard and detonates, dealing 35-60 damage to any Ts crossing the open area or grouping up near containers and corners.

Tips

• Outside is a wide open area, so HE damage is less concentrated than in corridors. The key is timing - throw when you see or hear Ts bunched up during their initial movement.
• The best timing is at round start when Ts run from their spawn toward outside positions. They group tightly during this movement, maximizing your HE damage.
• If the HE lands too far (past the crossing path), your aim was too high. Lower the crosshair to hit the ground-level crossing area.
• If the HE falls short (near the building below heaven), your aim was too low. Raise the crosshair out toward the center of the yard.
• Even if you only deal 30 damage, that chip damage matters over multiple rounds. A T with 70 health is far easier for your outside player to kill in the gunfight.
• Practice in an offline server with sv_cheats 1; sv_infinite_ammo 1; sv_grenade_trajectory 1; sv_grenade_trajectory_time 10; mp_roundtime_defuse 60 to find the timing that catches Ts mid-crossing.

When to Use

This HE grenade provides early damage from a safe elevated position. Deploy it when:

• Early round damage thrown at round start to hit Ts as they cross toward outside positions
• Supporting your outside player by softening enemies before they engage your teammate holding garage or catwalk
• Economy pressure by dealing chip damage to Ts every round to strain their economy on armor and utility
• Information gathering by listening for damage indicators to confirm Ts are committing to outside rather than staying in lobby
• Anti-stack punishment when you see multiple Ts grouping near a container or corner on outside - the HE hits the whole cluster
