Important Factors for Outside Control on Nuke as T
Outside control on Nuke isn’t about rushing out blindly. It starts with good utility to block CT vision, punish common positions, and create space for your team to move. Smokes, HE grenades, and flashes need to be used with purpose to deny easy fights.
Spacing and timing are just as important. If you move too fast or mistime your utility, CTs will have easy picks from their early positions. Take your time to clear every angle properly and make sure your team supports each other during the push.
Once you have outside, don’t stop. Use it to force rotations, split the map, or create fakes. The value of outside control comes from the pressure it puts on CTs and how it opens up multiple paths for the Ts to finish the round.
