Take control of Mirage in CS2 with well-placed smokes that block vision and create opportunities. Whether you’re attacking or defending, using the right smokes can make all the difference. Here’s a guide to the most useful smokes on this iconic map.
Best CS2 Mirages Smokes
CT/Ticket Smoke
The CT/Ticket smoke blocks one of the primary paths CTs take to enter the A-site. It also blocks the Ticket area, a popular spot for CT AWPers. To throw this smoke, walk next to the wall and do a jump throw while aiming at the center of the wooden beam, as shown in the pictures below.
Window Smoke
Now for the smoke that blocks the most hated spot on Mid, Window. Walk up right next to the trash can and aim at the wall right in the center of the door frame and the edge of the building. While aiming, press and hold the “D” key, and after about one second, do a jump-throw.
Connector Smoke
To smoke Connector, stand next to the same trash can from the Window smoke, aim at this angular pattern on the rug hanging on the wall (as shown in the pictures below), and then do a jump throw.
Top Mid Smoke
The Top Mid smoke combined with the two smokes above will give you complete mid-control. Stand on top of the trash can and do a simple standing throw while aiming at the tip of the antenna.
Market Window Smoke
If you want to push B, you should probably learn this one. To smoke Market Window, walk in the corner and do a jump throw while aiming at the top portion of the building, as shown in the pictures below.
Market Door Smoke
Combining the Market Door smoke with the Market Window smoke above will keep you completely safe from the Market while pushing B Site. Stand on the same spot and do a jump throw, but aim at the top of the window, as shown below.
B-Site Cat Smoke
Another B-site smoke you can do from the same spot is for the Cat area. To throw a Cat smoke, do a standing throw while aiming at the leftmost corner of the same building.
Jungle Connector Smoke
This smoke is one of the more simple ones. Stand next to the center of the structure on the building shown in the image below, and do a standing throw while aiming according to the image.
A Stairs Smoke
Another dangerous spot you can get shot from at A-site is the Stairs. To smoke that area, stand next to the right side of the door and do a jump throw while aiming at the corner of the building, as shown below.
B Site Bench
Finally, to throw a Bench smoke for B Site, go up against the wooden pillar next to the Stairs area, aim slightly to the right of the tower as shown below, and do a simple standing throw.
