1. 01
   Where to stand At Outside A Main, step down into the shallow rectangular dip in the Canal/Water pool beside the A Main entrance. Squeeze into its corner and turn to face the small white wooden crate with metal brackets under the red “A ->” sign.
2. 02
   Where to aim Exactly between the crate’s two metal brackets. Valve: “aim at the middle of the crate’s edge”.
3. 03
   How to throw Stand still and jump-throw with left-click (by hand).
4. 04
   Where it lands Heaven — it bounces off the back wall and drops, leaving no gap.

Note The best-confirmed lineup at A: Valve’s official guide plus four post-update videos. Checked in the video frames.

Blocks Camera, the arched window at the back of A. Cuts off rotations coming from Mid/Connector and the close angle CTs play. Throw it together with the Heaven smoke when going in on A.

7:04 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand On Rugs (T Side Upper), walk up to the orange/brick-coloured wall and tuck into its edge — a stone pillar is on your right. Through the gap you can see the water at A site and, beyond it, a balcony with a small archway (Camera).
2. 02
   Where to aim The top of the small archway (Camera) — put your crosshair on the stone at the very top of the arch.
3. 03
   How to throw Stand still and throw with a normal left-click. Don’t jump.
4. 04
   Where it lands Camera — it lands deep, so a CT pushing out from there comes straight at you.

Note Three post-update videos, though two are from the same creator. The aim was checked in the video frames: the crosshair sits on top of the arch.

A flash that doesn’t blind your own team when you go in on A. It blinds CTs on Platform, on the right side of the site, and in Camera and Heaven if those are not smoked. It bursts behind the wall, so the entry player can swing out without being blinded.

8:13 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand The same Water corner as the Heaven smoke.
2. 02
   Where to aim Look above the crate at the small sign on the wall that looks like the letter “L”. Put your crosshair on the lower-left part of the “L”.
3. 03
   How to throw Stand still and throw with a normal left-click. Don’t jump.
4. 04
   Where it lands Bursts above the A site entrance, in a spot the CTs can’t see.

Note A single post-update source, and the frames don’t show exactly which sign it is. It does not blind a CT on the nearby Pillar. Test it on a practice server before the LAN.

Smokes the right side of B site, cutting off the lines of sight from CT/Back of B and through the new E-box hole. This lets you clear Pillar and the close angles when attacking B.

4:26 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand Run out of B Main to the point before the site where the wall bends to the left (“Outside Long” on the radar). Squeeze into the middle of the bend, with the vine-covered wall on your left. Ahead you can see the front of a large temple with lotus-topped columns and a red “B” sign below it.
2. 02
   Where to aim Put your crosshair on the right edge of the leftmost (first) column, just below the stone ledge that runs across the tops of the columns. This spot was checked in the frames of Tigerr’s video.
3. 03
   How to throw Stand still and jump-throw with left-click (by hand).
4. 04
   Where it lands The right side of B site, in front of the stone block — it leaves no gap to jump up and look over the top.

Note Several post-update sources throw a B smoke from this bend, but their aim descriptions differ: Milosh crouches to aim, then stands up and jump-throws. Only Tigerr’s July aim point was checked in the video frames. Confirm it with the preview camera (hold the smoke and keep jump pressed).

Smokes the left side of B site. Together with the right-side smoke, it splits the site in two during an attack.

4:50 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand The same bend as the right-side smoke, outside B site (“Outside Long”).
2. 02
   Where to aim Move your crosshair right to the second column and aim at the lowest point of its lower part (Tigerr, July). The smoke bounces off the roof and drops onto the left side of the site.
3. 03
   How to throw Stand still and jump-throw with left-click (by hand).
4. 04
   Where it lands The left side of B site.

Note The aim comes from the video’s narration and isn’t clear in the frames. Tigerr’s March video mentions different roof decorations, so the sources disagree. A reliable fallback is the “Left B Site” lineup in Valve’s in-game official guide — from a different T-side spot, “aim at the top of the vines”, jump-throw. Check it with the preview camera.

A pop flash for going in on B. It bounces off the wall and the metal support, bursts above the site and blinds Back Pillar, the front of the site and “Pizza”.

5:58 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand Same as the B smokes: the bend outside B site.
2. 02
   Where to aim Move right to the second half-circle (lotus head) and aim at its lower part. This description comes from the video’s narration only.
3. 03
   How to throw Jump-throw with left-click (by hand).
4. 04
   Where it lands Bursts above B site.

Note A single source, and the aim was not confirmed in the video frames. It barely affects a player pressed against the Pillar. Test it on a practice server first.

Blocks CT’s Window/Hole above Canal so T can take Canal/Water and Mid. Throw it at the start of the round.

1. 01
   Where to stand Right-hand side of T Spawn, towards the exit to A. Stand in the corner with the tall stone wall pressed against your left shoulder. Ahead, at the end of a short street, you can see a stone archway with a fence, a small white tower behind it and a potted plant. Valve’s guide just says “stand in the corner”.
2. 02
   Where to aim Just above the top edge of the far notched wall, up in the sky: put your crosshair in the gap between the edge of the wall you are standing against and the left side of the small white tower (csnades frame). Valve’s guide words this as “aim at the roof corner”.
3. 03
   How to throw Stand still and jump-throw with left-click (by hand).
4. 04
   Where it lands Inside the Window/Hole that faces Canal — at the end of the csnades clip the smoke fills the broken window opening.

Note Three independent post-update sources. The two aim descriptions (csnades frame, Valve’s text) differ slightly, so check once with the preview camera: hold the smoke and keep jump pressed.

Burns the Window/Hole so CTs can’t drop down early or peek Canal. On the new Anubis, pros consider it one of T side’s most important grenades. An HE grenade thrown right after it adds extra damage.

2:39 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand Run up the stairs from T Spawn towards Ruins. Stand pressed fully into the first corner on your left — where the low stone wall meets the orange brick wall with vines. Then turn to face the long Ruins street that leads to B: you will see stairs at the end of the street and a building with carved arches on the right.
2. 02
   Where to aim The bottom-left corner of the stairs at the end of the Ruins street, where the first step meets the ground. Tigerr throws on the run, at the moment the crosshair reaches the middle of that first step.
3. 03
   How to throw Running jump-throw (by hand): hold W to run, then after about one step left-click and jump together. Don’t use a bind.
4. 04
   Where it lands The Window/Hole above Canal — the fire covers the drop point.

Note Tigerr’s video and the csnades clip show the same throw, and both were checked in the video frames. Valve’s official guide has a version thrown standing still from the same area (“aim at the right corner of the raised slab”, jump-throw) — easier to repeat; load the official guide on a practice server to see it. Optional: follow the molotov with an HE grenade thrown on the run.

Smokes House, also called Top Mid, so T can take Mid and fight towards Mid Doors and the new Bridge drop point. Pair it with the E-box smoke thrown from the same spot.

1:13 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand At the back of T Spawn, turn to face the railing with short stone posts (the sea is beyond it). Facing the railing, you need the second post from the left: behind it you can see a tall tower with two small windows. Press your back against the middle of that post, then turn back to face Mid. It doesn’t have to be exact — standing in the middle is enough.
2. 02
   Where to aim Find the small square window in the notched wall ahead. From its top-right corner, raise your crosshair straight up to the corner where the right end of the white building with the washing line meets the top of the notched wall and forms an “L”. The crosshair sits exactly in that corner, right above the top of the wall.

Blocks E-box so T can walk into Canal/Water. Together with the Window molotov, it lets you take Canal safely and go on from there to A or Connector.

1:36 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand Same spot as the House smoke: stand with your back against the middle of the second post of the railing at the back of T Spawn.
2. 02
   Where to aim From the House aim point, move your crosshair to the left. Put it at the bottom of the right edge of the large white/grey cloth hanging on the washing line, where the roof and wall meet to form an “L”.
3. 03
   How to throw Stand still and jump-throw with left-click (by hand).
4. 04
   Where it lands E-box, on the Canal side of Mid.

Note According to Tigerr, it blocks completely and leaves no gap visible from the jump spot. Grenade collision around the E-box hole was changed on 2026-02-04, and both videos came out after that.

Blocks T Stairs in the opening seconds, either so CTs can drop through the new hole and take Water/Canal early, or to slow a fast T push into Canal. The key CT-side grenade on the new Anubis.

7:12 (opens in a new window)

1. 01
   Where to stand CT Spawn (CT Side Upper, near the wall with the map poster). Easiest version (Tigerr): stand on the dark shaded patch at one CT spawn position; if you did not spawn there, walk into that shade. Version that works from every spawn (Valve, Maran): stand in the corner. Valve’s guide says just that: “stand in the corner”.
2. 02
   Where to aim Look up at the roofline above the poster wall — vines with purple flowers grow there. Aim at the top corner of the single large stone block among the plants (Tigerr). Valve’s guide says “aim at the leaves”.
3. 03
   How to throw Stand still and jump-throw with left-click (by hand).
4. 04
   Where it lands T Stairs — the top of the stairs that lead from the T side up to Canal/Water.

Note The aim differs for each spawn — teach your team one throw that works from every spawn. The setpos below is NartOutHere’s “Spawn 4” example (with its own aim): it is the version for that spawn and is not exactly the same as the shade/corner spot described above. Maran’s every-spawn version stands in the corner and aims at the plants. Since 2026-09-30 the grenade crosshair shows during freeze time, before the round starts, so it is easier to line up the smoke you throw straight from spawn.

Smokes Mid near Mid Doors directly, slowing T’s Mid take and making the fight at Mid easier. Use it as a delay smoke when you are short-handed.

1. 01
   Where to stand CT Spawn, in the corner marked in the official guide (Valve: “stand in the corner”). Close to the T Stairs throw — about x -444, y 2310, converted from the radar coordinates.
2. 02
   Where to aim As Valve puts it: “aim at the edge of the decorative frame”. To see the exact marker, load the official map guide on a practice server.

4. 04
   Where it lands Mid, near Mid Doors.

Note The only source is Valve’s own guide, though it was added after the update. The text leaves the position and aim vague, so load Anubis’s official map guide (Esc menu) on a practice server and learn it there. The coordinates were converted from metabot’s data.
