What to Focus on When AWPing on Dust 2 as CT
CT AWPing on Dust 2 is about controlling key areas early, using your utility to take space, and always having an escape plan. Whether you’re holding long angles or floating between sites, your positioning and timing are what keep you alive and useful.
You also need to balance aggression and patience. Going for early picks can work, but if you miss or overstay, you often get punished hard. Focus on clean, efficient fights and don’t stick around longer than you need to. Smart repositioning is what separates a strong AWPer from one that becomes an easy target.
Finally, avoid falling into predictable patterns. Change up your spots, vary your timings, and keep the Ts guessing where the AWP is playing. When you make it uncomfortable for them to read your setups, the AWP becomes much harder to deal with.
