How to Practice
Start a private match on de_dust2 by selecting Practice and choosing Dust 2. Open the console with the tilde key (~) and paste the practice config above. This gives you unlimited ammo, grenade trajectory visualization, and noclip movement bound to the N key.
Use noclip to quickly position yourself at lineup spots. The grenade trajectory preview lets you see exactly where your grenades will land before you throw them. Practice each smoke lineup until you can land it consistently, then move on to the next one.
Practice Tips for Dust 2
Focus on learning the most impactful smokes first - the ones that block key sightlines for site executes and retakes. Once you have those down, work on flash and molotov lineups for the same positions. Consistency is more important than knowing many lineups, so practice each one until it becomes muscle memory.
