Why the Outside Smoke Wall is Mandatory on Nuke

Nuke Outside is an open sniper shooting range dominated by CT AWPers holding Garage and Heaven. Without an outside smoke wall, T-side executions into Secret or Main are impossible. Here is the canonical 3-smoke lineup sequence.

The 3 Outside Smokes (Thrown from T-Roof)

  • Smoke 1 (Cross / Garage Denial): Stand on the yellow ventilation box, aim at the top left antenna tip on the power line, standard jumpthrow. Lands directly between Garage and Red Box.
  • Smoke 2 (Main Walkway): Stand against the fence gate, aim at the intersection of the two concrete wall panels, jumpthrow. Blooms beside Red Box.
  • Smoke 3 (Secret Deep Cut): Stand at T-Roof railing, aim at the corner of the air conditioning unit, running jumpthrow. Seals off Secret from CT sniper view.

Slipping into Secret Unspotted

Once the smokes bloom, Ts sprint down the corridor into Secret with zero line of sight from Garage. From Secret, you can cut vents into A Site or plant freely on lower B Site.
