A fundamental smoke that blocks the AWPer on window from seeing T spawn and mid. Stand in the left corner of T spawn near the dumpster. Place your crosshair on the tip of the antenna on the roof above window. Left-click throw. The smoke lands on the window ledge and fully blocks vision.
Blocks connector to prevent CTs from rotating through mid during an A execute. Stand on the right side of T spawn near the wooden cart. Aim at the corner where the building meets the sky above connector. Jump-throw. The smoke will arc and land in the connector entrance.
Covers jungle/connector to isolate A site defenders. Walk to the top of A ramp and stand against the left wall. Look up toward the building above jungle and aim at the dark mark on the wall. Left-click throw. The smoke blooms in the jungle entrance.
Blocks the CT stairs angle to safely cross from T spawn toward A ramp or mid. Stand in the center of T spawn. Aim at the top of the building directly ahead above stairs. Left-click throw. Lands on top of stairs and blocks rotation.
Blocks short/catwalk to isolate the B bombsite. From inside B apartments near the exit, align yourself with the door frame. Aim at the edge of the building above short. Jump-throw to arc the smoke onto the short/catwalk entrance.
Covers the van and market window area on B site. From the B apartments balcony, stand against the left railing. Aim at the top of the building across B site near market. Left-click throw. Smoke blooms near the van covering market angles.
A pop flash that blinds CT players on A site and ticket booth. Stand inside palace near the exit. Aim at the top of the archway above the palace exit. Right-click throw so it pops immediately as it clears the wall, giving CTs no time to turn.
Bounces off the wall and pops in front of players holding short/cat. Stand at the top of A ramp against the right wall. Aim at the corner where the wall meets the ceiling above short. Left-click throw so the flash bounces off the wall and pops facing short.
A flash for retaking A site from CT spawn. Stand at the CT spawn entrance to A site. Aim above the wall toward the back of A site. Left-click throw high so the flash pops above the site, blinding anyone on default, triple, or ramp.
Clears the bench/default position on B site. From the B apartments exit, aim at the base of the pillar near bench. Left-click throw. The molotov spreads across the bench area forcing CTs to reposition.

A quick flash from window room that blinds Ts pushing through catwalk/top mid. Stand inside window room and throw a flash through the window opening. It pops almost instantly facing any Ts on catwalk.
