How to Approach Eco Rounds on Dust 2 as T
Eco rounds are all about playing to your weapons and numbers. Avoid open duels at long distances where CT rifles dominate. Focus on areas where you can swarm defenders, trade close-range fights, and create quick pressure before CTs can rotate.
Timing and grouping are everything. Don’t spread out across the map — pick a site or area, group up, and commit together. Even if you don’t win the round, the goal is to get a bomb plant, do damage, or force CTs to waste utility and money.
The biggest mistake Ts make on eco rounds is playing too passive or trying to play defaults. Keep it simple, keep it fast, and use your pistols where they work best — close and chaotic.
