General description of the map Dust 2
It can hardly be considered an exaggeration the opinion of millions of players who consider the second one to be the most famous and legendary cs card. Back in the distant days of 1.6, it was simply very popular due to the almost perfect balance and parity between the attacking and defending sides. At the same time, the entourage of the confrontation has never changed – the events take place somewhere in the Middle East, and most of the inscriptions on the walls are written in Persian.
In 2017, the developers decided to make a large-scale rework, designed to make adjustments to the already established gameplay. As a result, not only some textures were reworked, but also positions, and the layout of some segments of the map was also changed.
True, then the changes were too global, which negatively affected the overall performance of even fairly powerful PCs. As a result, the players spent many more years on the so-called classic version.

To show a really good game on the map in question, you must have a sufficient arsenal of various grenades. This is especially important on the dust, since it is simply impossible to pass some positions without competent smoke. In addition to practical training that reinforces the skill, we also recommend using the allowed “Jumpthrow” bind, which increases the accuracy of throwing grenades. We propose to learn the following set of grenades:
Smoke on X. 128 ticks. With this grenade, even a relatively young team will be able to take the ridge, regardless of the strength of the enemy.
Smoke at the beginning of the length. 128 ticks. Having made the decision to go long through the box, it is better to close this grenade from the players of the opposite team.
Primary smoke for the passage through A-long. 128 ticks. It allows you to completely cover the CT rep and run along the length relatively without problems. But it is important to remember that for success you will have to use two grenades.
Secondary smoke for the passage through A-long. 128 ticks and 64 ticks. It rolls in the same way as the previous one.
Smoke in the mid door. 128 ticks and 64 ticks. Of course, this is a exploit of a bug, but today it is a legal solution for jumping to short.
Smoke for the parapet. 128 ticks and 64 ticks. As you can easily guess from the name, it allows you to easily go to the ridge.
Smoke on the trash. 128 ticks and 64 ticks. Many players consider this smoke to be indispensable for going shorts.
Smoke in CT. 128 ticks and 64 ticks. This appears to be the most standard and well-known grenade on this list. With it, you can go to mid and push point B from there.
Smoke on the box in CT. 128 ticks. At the amateur level, this is a rather rare smoke, but it reliably deprives the opponent of the enemy, planted on the boxes.
Smoke in bombsite door B. 128 ticks and 64 ticks. A useful and simple grenade aimed at providing an exit to B, cutting off the enemy’s view through the mid.
Smoke in plant B window. 128 ticks. In combination with the last grenade, it turns out to smoke the defense as much as possible and take a number of key points with impunity.
Will give 2 shots
Often a lone enemy holding a goose with a sniper rifle stands in the way of a successful attack. Therefore, it is worth trying to remove it with a successful backache. At the very least, it will scare him off in the next round.
With the help of the next cross, you can significantly ease your retake of the B site. It removes the enemy from the car and is guaranteed to surprise him.
Also, one should not forget about the standard, but no less effective shot through the default box on A.
Secrets (chips) on Dust 2
Such a large map has a huge number of different features and nuances. Here are just a few of them:
In situations where the enemy has thrown smoke to the center and is trying to enter point B, then from the descent to the CT rep, you can view the doors by picking up the WUA.
Being on point B, it is possible to show miracles of reaction and catch an opponent running along the long.
No one forbids the use of various replants and on the mid lane you can see many positions, including the location of the explosive package.
Also, using the boost will allow you to unexpectedly shoot the enemy.
In the lower tunnel there is a successful boost, which is almost never checked by players on the ridge.
Update on will give 2
In 2017, the developers removed the map in question from the current competitive pool and sent it for revision. As a result, after eight months of fixes and updates, the return of the legendary arena was announced, which seemed to the players to be something completely new. Note that he will replace another card that everyone loves – cobblestone.
The return to the competitive stack did not go smoothly. The support service of the game was covered by a wave of complaints about a sharp deterioration in performance. It’s time to return the map for revision. It took a little more than one month, but the final result satisfied the majority (or gamers managed to upgrade the hardware).
The next global map change was made in 2021. At that time, the famous middle cross from the T respawn was removed. This gave the defense even more room to maneuver and significantly expanded the list of available tactical solutions.
We must not forget that the last version of the dust had a unique graffiti dedicated to the grand final of ESL One Cologne 2015. Then the Swedes from Fnatik decided to take 4 WUAs at once for T and killed one player of the opponents from the French team EnVyus with a flurry of shots. Such a non-standard solution was the reason for the addition of a unique graffiti, designed to perpetuate this event. True, after the update and removal of the cross, the drawing was also removed from the wall at the respawn point of the attack side.
Where is Dust 2 Ledge
As part of the operations from the developers, players have to complete various tasks. This also applies to leaving drawings at unexpected points on the map. But tasks often use not entirely clear designations of positions. For example, for players, the so-called “COUNTER” often becomes a stumbling block. In fact, everything is very simple – this is the position of shorts.
