The classic Train map has made its way back into the professional map pool, replacing Vertigo. It’s already being played at major tournaments like BLAST and ESL, as well as on FACEIT. To dominate on Train, learning effective smokes is essential. Here are the best smokes for attacking A and B bombsites.

A Bombsite - Z Smoke

To block off the Z (Connector) position, follow these steps:

1. Stand at the corner of the green train in T-Spawn.
2. Aim your crosshair at the building in front of you (refer to the lineup).
3. Perform a jump throw by holding Mouse 1 and releasing it at the same time you press Space Bar.

This smoke prevents CTs from using Z to support their teammates on A. It forces them to reposition, giving your team a huge advantage during the execute. You can also use this smoke as a fake to pull a B-site defender toward A, creating openings elsewhere.

A Bombsite - Longdog Smoke

Longdog (formerly Popdog) is a key spot for CTs defending A. Here's how to smoke it:

1. Climb onto the green dumpster in T-Spawn and move all the way to the left.
2. Aim slightly above the building in front of you.
3. Left-click to throw the smoke.

This smoke makes it difficult for a CT holding Longdog to support their teammates. They’ll have to either push through the smoke, exposing themselves, or wait it out—giving your team plenty of time to plant the bomb and secure post-plant positions.

A Bombsite - Ivy Smoke

This smoke blocks off Ivy, helping your team push out of T Main:

1. Stand in front of the scratched bollard in T-Spawn.
2. Aim at the building ahead (use the lineup).
3. Perform a jump throw.

With this smoke, the CT holding Ivy will have to reposition to assist their team, giving you valuable time to execute your strategy and take control of A.

B Bombsite - Left Side Bomb Smoke

For a quick and safe B-site plant, use this smoke:

1. Position yourself at the right side of the broken window near the B site.
2. Use the lineup provided.
3. Left-click to throw the smoke.

Pair this with a tunnel smoke to give your team enough cover to plant the bomb without taking heavy damage. Once planted, reposition for the after-plant to maintain control of the site.

B Bombsite - Rush Smoke

For fast B-site attacks, this rush smoke is perfect:

1. Aim at the iron bar near the B ramp, as shown in the lineup.
2. Start walking, then jump throw when your crosshair lines up with the bottom of the bar.

This smoke lands quickly, cutting off the CTs’ vision and giving your teammates the perfect cover to rush down the ramp. With practice, you can time the smoke to land just as your team reaches the site, denying the CTs any early info or chance to counter the rush.

Master These Smokes for Success

Train requires precise utility usage to succeed. These smokes will help you control key positions, isolate CTs, and secure bomb plants with ease. Practice these lineups to elevate your game and dominate Train in both competitive and casual matches.
