CS2 smoke practice commands – How to practice smokes in CS2

Knowing smoke grenade lineups in CS2 separates you from everyone else on the server, allowing you to run different strategies on the fly. But to memorize the lineups, you need to save some time to practice smokes.

The best way to practice smokes in CS2 is to create a private dedicated server. If you’re tired of missing your smokes in CS2, here’s how to get better at it.

How to set up a private server to practice smokes in CS2

Setting up a private server to practice smokes in CS2 is the best method for training your grenade-throwing techniques on any map. If you don’t want to mess with the console, CS2 has some options you can set up from the get-go:

1. Run CS2.
2. Click on Play and then Practice.
3. Choose Casual.
4. Turn on the extra options: Infinite Ammo, Infinite Warmup, and Grenade Camera.

These options don’t include most of the actions you can cover with console commands, though. So, let’s look at all you can do via the console.
