Nuke outside 1v2
The situation
Nuke. T-side, 1v2. You have an AK with 3 bullets in mag (12 total reserve). Full HP, full armor + helmet. 1 smoke. Bomb in your inventory. Outside hut, ~25 seconds left. Two CTs known: one heaven, one secret.
Pick the best play
- A
Push secret with the smoke, expect 1v1 in close range
- B
Plant hut, hold heaven from corner
Smoke heaven, push silo to ramp room
- D
Reload, then take the silo angle — bait peek
Why C is the best play
Smoking heaven removes the AWP / rifle threat from elevation. Push silo → ramp gives you a fresh entry point with HP advantage. Reloading 3 bullets first (option d) wastes 2.6 seconds and the CT is rotating during that time.
