Where to Focus When Playing Pistol Rounds on Nuke as T
Pistol rounds as T on Nuke are about forcing close-range fights and making CTs uncomfortable. Rushing spots like Ramp or Hut, or stacking outside with coordinated pistols, can catch defenders off-guard. The goal is to commit fast and take space before CTs can set up properly.
The biggest mistake Ts make is hesitating or playing too slow- giving CTs time to rotate and set up crossfires. Always go in with a clear plan, commit as a team, and focus on trading efficiently. Even if the round doesn’t go perfectly, forcing plants or doing heavy damage can still help your economy.
