Effective Pistol Round Options for CT Side on Dust 2
CT-side pistol rounds aren’t just passive hold-and-pray moments. The best teams treat them with purpose — using setup, spacing, and quick decisions to shut down T pushes early. Whether you play aggressive or hold back, what matters is that everyone knows the plan and commits to it.
Understanding CT utility, movement, and timing can completely shift how pistol rounds play out. Even small changes in positioning or rotations can have a big impact. But there’s no perfect formula — what works depends on how you read the T setup, what spawns you have, and how well you work together.
The key is to stay adaptable. Study your options, practice your setups, and know how to rotate or support quickly. Pistol rounds are short and intense — making smart choices in the first 20 seconds often decides the rest of the round.
