What is the initial recoil direction of the AK-47 when spraying at a wall in a standing position?
Downward
Rightward
Leftward
Upward
The AK-47's initial recoil kicks the barrel upward before drifting sideways. Understanding this helps players begin their recoil compensation correctly.
On Dust2, which area should CTs secure immediately to prevent a long A rush?
B Tunnels
Mid
T Spawn
Long Doors
Long Doors is the primary entry point for Ts rushing long A on Dust2. Securing it early prevents an uncontrolled flank or fast plant.
In an eco round, what is the most cost-effective purchase for a team?
Full utility
AWP only
Full rifles with no armor
Pistols and Kevlar vest
Buying pistols and a Kevlar vest preserves the economy while still allowing you to fight for a potential round win. It avoids overspending that could cripple future rounds.
Which grenade type is primarily used to block enemy vision?
Smoke grenade
Molotov
Flashbang
HE grenade
Smoke grenades create a thick, persistent cloud that obscures vision. They are essential for cutting sightlines and executing site takes or defenses.
What is the standard in-game call to announce an incoming flashbang for teammates?
Rotate
Flashbang out
Go go go
Bomb down
Calling "Flashbang out" warns teammates to look away or take cover before the grenade pops. Clear utility calls prevent accidental team flashes and maintain coordination.
To counteract AK-47's recoil pattern during a full-auto spray at mid-range, how should you move your mouse?
Upward
To the right
Downward only
Downward and to the left
The AK-47 recoils upward then drifts to the right, so pulling down and slightly left compensates for both vertical and horizontal movement. Proper counter-strafing and mouse control yield tighter groupings.
Which utility combination is most effective for CTs to secure Banana control on Inferno at the start of a round?
One molotov at pit
One molotov at car and a HE grenade at sandbags
Two flashbangs at mid
One smoke at halfway
A molotov at car forces Ts back from the chokepoint while a HE at sandbags damages anyone holding close. This combination denies early ground control and information.
After losing the first pistol round, which force-buy strategy balances firepower and economy?
Buying full rifles with no utility
Saving entirely
Buying AWP and one decoy grenade
Purchasing SMGs with light armor and a couple of grenades
SMGs like the UMP-45 provide decent firepower at low cost, and light armor offers protection without overspending. This lets you contest the round and preserve some economy.
On Mirage, which smoke lineup is commonly used to block Jungle when executing an A-site take?
Smoke thrown from Palace window at Stairs
Smoke from Connector to Catwalk
Smoke thrown from Tetris corner aimed at Jungle
Smoke from A ramp to Ticket
A well-placed smoke from the Tetris corner lands directly in Jungle, cutting off CT vision and fire. It's a staple in coordinated A executes.
What is the standard call to inform teammates of a single player flanking through CT spawn on Dust2?
One CT spawn
Short push
Lower tunnels
Mid doors
"One CT spawn" clearly indicates a lone opponent coming through the CT spawn area. Precise calls allow teammates to rotate or hold angles appropriately.
When planting on the A site of Mirage to maximize post-plant crossfire, where is the optimal default plant spot?
Next to bench
Behind triple boxes
Inside sandwich
On top of ticket booth
Planting behind triple boxes gives Ts cover from multiple angles and forces CTs to expose themselves. It's known as the default plant and enables better post-plant positions.
Your team just won an eco round and now has approximately $4000 each. What is the recommended purchase?
Buy AWPs for everyone
Save for next round
Buy rifles with full armor and basic utility
Buy pistols only
With around $4000 per player, a full rifle buy with armor and minimal utility ensures you maintain map pressure. It balances firepower and utility without overspending.
How can a CT delay a T defuse most effectively after plant?
Flash the plant area
Molotov the entrance
Throw an HE grenade onto the bomb
Smoke off the site
An HE grenade planted directly on the bomb will deal damage to any defuser and interrupt the defuse process. It's the quickest way to delay or stop a retake.
Which communication call should CTs use to rotate to B on Mirage after spotting multiple enemies mid?
Hold mid
Flash B
Rotate B
Go A
"Rotate B" tells teammates to leave their current positions and move to B site for defense. Quick and clear rotation calls keep the team synchronized.
To block vision of defenders on A-site from Truck on Inferno, which grenade should a T use?
HE grenade
Flashbang
Molotov
Smoke grenade thrown at Truck position
A smoke at the Truck position cuts off a common CT anchor angle and allows T entry with less risk. It's a fundamental part of the Inferno A execute.
When engaging an opponent at long distance with the M4A1-S, what burst length best balances accuracy and rate of fire?
Four-round bursts
Two-round bursts
Ten-round bursts
Full-auto bursts
Four-round bursts on the M4A1-S maintain reasonable recoil control while delivering enough bullets for quick kills. Short bursts maximize accuracy at range.
On CT-side B of Inferno, a three-man crossfire is set up. Which three positions create the most effective triangle hold?
Coffins, New Box, Van
Car, Banana, Mid
Balcony, Garden, Pit
Pit, Arch, Graveyard
Holding Coffins, New Box, and Van forms interlocking angles that catch Ts from multiple lines of sight. This triangle crossfire maximizes defensive coverage.
What does a "three-quarter buy" typically refer to in CS:GO economy strategy?
Buying AWPs for three players
Buying full utility only
Buying rifles and armor but sacrificing full utility
Saving all money for a later round
A three-quarter buy involves purchasing primary weapons and armor while cutting down on grenades. It balances firepower with economic sustainability across subsequent rounds.
From Palace on Mirage, which technique allows Ts to smoke off Connector without a jump-throw script?
Align crosshair with the top corner of the window frame and perform a standing throw
Crouch-throw aiming at sky
Run-throw aiming at pillar
Jump-throw over balcony
A standing lineup at the top window corner ensures the smoke lands in Connector without requiring a jump-throw bind. This technique is reliable in competitive play.
During a CT retake on Inferno A site, which position minimizes exposure while holding an angle for crossfire?
Pit
Balcony
Truck
Arch
Holding from Pit offers cover behind sandbags and limited sightlines, making you hard to pre-fire. It coordinates well with teammates holding other angles for a retake.
