CS2<\/em> is here and with it a whole new take on utility for the franchise. Smokes are the name of the game this time, with Valve completely changing up how smokes work in the latest Counter-Strike <\/em>sequel. And of all CS2<\/em> maps, it is essential players brush up on their Mirage utility the most.<\/p>
Mirage has overtaken Dust 2 as the most-played map in Counter-Strike<\/em> history, with solid utility a quintessential part of succeeding on the map. As Valve only gave Mirage a touch-up and not a full overhaul in CS2<\/em>, most of the smokes you’ll remember should transition across.<\/p>
But if you’ve forgotten or are new to Mirage and CS2<\/em>, we’ve got you covered with the basics. We’ve focused solely on smokes in this guide, but expect an update down the track with a few key flashes and Molotovs.<\/p>
