Core Elements of CT Defense on Nuke
CT setups on Nuke are built around controlling outside, Ramp, and the fast rotations between A and B. You can’t lock everything at once, so focusing on early control and using utility to deny Ts space is essential. Playing proactive early, then falling back into crossfires, allows CTs to manage the pressure.
Another key part is rotation speed. Nuke’s layout lets CTs rotate quickly between sites, but only if they read the T setup correctly. Over-rotating or reacting late often opens up the map for the Ts. Smart CT teams will delay, gather info, and rotate only when needed.
Finally, CTs should avoid playing too predictable. Varying setups round to round, mixing aggression, and keeping Ts guessing is what makes a CT side solid on Nuke. If you fall into the same pattern every round, Ts will punish your setups quickly.
