Eco and force buy rounds often rely on fast plays. On Dust 2, an A short rush can catch CTs off guard and give your team a real chance. This lesson explains how to make the most of it.
Executing the A Short Rush on Dust 2
Speed is your main weapon on low buys. Don’t waste time at the start- move together and surprise the defense before they can set up. Even with weaker guns, a quick rush can get you control of key ground and open the site for a plant.
Utility helps your push succeed. A single smoke or flash can block vision long enough for the team to cross and fight. If you don’t have much utility, commit as a group so trades are guaranteed. The goal is to get close before CT rifles can punish from range.
Once the bomb is planted, spread into safe positions and prepare for the retake. Don’t overextend or chase kills- you want to force CTs into fighting your numbers. Even if you lose, planting gives valuable money for the next round.
Conclusion
An A short rush on eco or force buys is about speed, teamwork, and making the plant. Practice it, and you’ll find more value in tough rounds.
