Dropping into Cache the first thing when you log on to CS2 this weekend? I wouldn’t blame you, after all, this iconic map that has been around since Counter-Strike: Source days, starting as a community map first, and has finally made a comeback in the latest update. Feeling rusty enough? Following are some of the simplest and most simple-enough, and refreshing smoke lineups every player must learn before they hop onto their first match, with 5 smoke lineups each for each side.
5 Easy Smoke Lineups For T Side on Cache CS2

Starting on the offense is a high possibility, which means you need to be more than ready for the coming rounds. Make sure to purchase your smoke grenades for $300 during the buy-time, and make the best use of them using the following lineups:
T Spawn to Mid/ Z Smoke
Starting off, this should be the most basic smoke lineup every single player should remember on the map, even if they play the game only once in a while, thanks to its simplicity.
Go to T-Spawn and position yourself at the rightmost edge of the blue caravan/compartment
Turn left toward the OCTOPO signboard
Aim your crosshair between the second “O” in the sign
Walk forward and jump-throw the smoke grenade
Rush B Tree Smoke
This is arguably the easiest lineup in this whole list, thanks to its simplicity. However, it is also just as effective, blocking off the view of CT from the B Tree side.
While running towards the B main entry, aim at the pillar on the wall inside on the right
Left click to throw the Smoke Grenade at B Tree
Rush B Heaven Smoke
While walking towards the B main entry, aim at the frame right beside the pillar and higher than before on the wall inside on the right
Left click to throw the Smoke Grenade at B Heaven
Sunroom to B Tree Smoke
Go to Sunroom and jump onto the ledge
Position yourself in the corner between the ledge and the broken transformer
Aim at the bottom-left of the second window from the left
Keep your crosshair just above the building ledge in front
Left-click throw the smoke grenade toward B Tree
A Long to A Site/ Backsite Smoke
This is one of the more expensive smoke setups in the whole map if you are on the attacking side. However, it becomes completely worth it once you realize it blocks off nearly all of A site for the CT, leaving you free to plant and defend.
Go to A Long entrance
Stand in the rightmost corner
Align yourself with the leftmost corner of the doorframe above
Left-click throw the first smoke grenade
Adjust your aim slightly higher
Jump-throw the second smoke grenade

Done with the attacking? It’s about time you now stop the very force you were inflicting till a round before the switch. Here are the easiest-to-learn CT smokes in Cache CS2:
A Site (Quad) to A Main Smoke
There are not many options when it comes to CT smokes on the Cache map in CS2, but this is one of the more basic ones you should definitely know.
Go to A Site (Quad / backsite corner)
Face toward the A Main entrance
Aim your crosshair just below the “O” on the red signboard
Left-click throw the smoke grenade to cover A Main
CT Spawn to A Main Smoke
Go to CT Spawn and stand on the ledge of the broken building
Face toward the A Site area
Locate the intersection of the two buildings in front of you
Aim slightly above that intersection point
Jump-throw the smoke grenade to cover A Main
CT Spawn to Garage Smoke
Want to take care of the mid/ garage area right from the start? Here’s how to do it:
Go to the spawn area and line up against the right metal door post
Face forward toward the building ahead
Aim at the upper section of the top row of windows
Jump-throw the smoke grenade
CT Truck to Garage Smoke
This is a more complicated one, but it definitely comes in handy if you are managing A site and your team mates call for help in mid.
Go to the truck position between A Site and CT Spawn
Stand in the corner at that location
Look up toward the crane and wait for your grenade reticle to appear
Align the 3Y line of the reticle with the point where the roof fence meets the edge of the building behind it
Jump-throw the smoke grenade to cover the Garage area
Mid to A Main Smoke
It can also be the other way around. In case you are playing mid while the other team rushes A Site, use the following smoke grenade to block off A main to help out your teammates and buy you some time to rotate.
Go to Mid entry (Z area)
Stand in the small corner between the door and the entry
Face toward the A Main area
Aim at the top-left corner of the rightmost and the upper row of windows on the building ahead
Jump-throw the smoke grenade to cover A Main
