Dust 2 A pit 1v2
The situation
Dust 2 A retake. CT-side, 1v2. Bomb planted at default. 22 seconds. You have an M4A4, full armor + helmet, defuser, 1 smoke. Two Ts: one in pit, one on goose holding mid-cross.
Pick the best play
Smoke goose, peek pit corner with crouch-spam
- B
Sprint mid, hit cross, take goose off-guard
- C
Take catwalk → A short, peek site from short
- D
Hold the long-doors angle and wait for one to peek
Why A is the best play
Smoke goose removes their cross-cover. Pit player is the immediate threat — peek with crouch + tap-fire HS. Goose player can't see, so even if pit player traps you the goose-trade is delayed. Long doors waiting (d) loses on the bomb timer.
