Practice quiz
5 questionsFive questions from the calls on the map. The highlighted marker is the question.
A site detail
| # | Clear in order | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | first cover inside A Main; Valve: "Don't forget to clear Forklift" | |
| 2 | raised spot directly above Forklift | |
| 3 | boost boxes between Squeaky and A Main | |
| 4 | close corner between the Squeaky door and Quad | |
| 5 | classic anchor covering both doors from cover | |
| 6 | CT cover with a direct line into A Main | |
| 7 | ground a Truck or Highway CT crosses to reach site | |
| 8 | rotation lane from Mid — the last door to watch |
B site detail
| # | Clear in order | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vents-side CT plays here, beside the B Main exit | |
| 2 | closest site cover on the B Halls side — the anchor's spot | |
| 3 | behind the boxes at the back of the site | |
| 4 | low Hell/Heaven-side spot; only the head shows | |
| 5 | tight corner at the Hell entrance | |
| 6 | elevated CT angle over the whole site | |
| 7 | CT ground entrance under Heaven | |
| 8 | CT fallback room behind Hell |

Rotation timings
No time measured on today’s version of this map is published, so none is shown — the routes and what delays them are what the sources agree on.
Common wallbangs
Every row is community-reported — verify it in the current build before relying on it. Each row’s needs line links its source.

- Never expose
- Squeaky and A Main in the same peek
2-1-2 is the common baseline (csdb.gg): Quad + Highway on A, a White Box/Sandbags AWP in Mid, New Boxes + Checkers on B. Eloking writes the same five as 1-2-2 by counting Highway as Mid; Profilerr describes a 1-3-1. A convention, not a rule.
Briefing mode (A anchor)
CACHE · A anchor (CT side · pre-plant) Hold Quad and pre-aim the Squeaky exit; molly it and smoke deep A Main when they come. Let the Highway player cover A Main at range and rotate first if A is a fake. CT setup: 1 A anchor @ Quad · 2 A support · first rotator @ Highway · 3 Mid AWP @ White Box · 4 B Checkers · Vents @ Checkers · 5 B anchor @ New Boxes Plants: A Default, B Default Retake A: 1 CT Halls/Truck/E-box · 2 Mid/Highway
Lane 1: CT Halls → Truck → E-box. Lane 2: Mid → Highway. Clear Quad, Shroud and A Main, where Ts hold A Default from, before you defuse.
