Coordinating an A Site Retake on Dust 2
Wait until your teammates are ready before you go in. A split retake from short and long is stronger than rushing in one at a time. Smokes and flashes help cover open angles and force Ts off their positions, giving you safer ground to work with.
Talk through every step of the retake. Call where you last saw Ts, where the bomb is planted, and if anyone is holding from pit, short, or long. Clear each angle together and don’t leave gaps- working side by side makes trades possible.
Once you push through, control the site before going for the defuse. Make sure someone covers while the defuse starts, and use remaining utility to block vision or delay Ts from peeking. A steady, well-timed push makes the difference between a failed attempt and a clean retake.
