Winning the pistol round as CT on Inferno can set the tone for your team’s half. The right strategy makes every pistol buy count, even against fast or unpredictable T plays. This lesson shows what to focus on for a stronger start.
What Works for CT Pistol Rounds on Inferno
Aggressive plays can work, but don’t overdo it. Early utility and quick rotations are usually more reliable. Holding crossfires and stacking two on B or A can catch Ts off guard, but you need to adjust if the Ts are grouped or split.
Use your utility smartly. HE grenades and flashes can delay a rush, let you take control, or set up an early fight for information. Don’t waste your utility- use it to slow down Ts or force them to reroute.
The biggest mistake is panicking or over-rotating after the first sign of contact. Stay calm, trust your teammates, and work together on retakes or holds. Good comms and quick support make a huge difference.
