CS2 Nuke — Mini Smoke from Vending
A community-submitted CS2 Nuke Smoke lineup thrown from Vending onto Mini. The grenade is in the air for 7.3 seconds. Every step below is captured as a still frame from in-game — the standing spot, the crosshair alignment, a zoomed crop of that alignment, and the result — so you can match your own screen against each one instead of guessing from a video.
How to throw it
- Go to Vending on Nuke and find the exact standing spot shown in the throw-position frame. Walk into it rather than running — the frames were captured from a standstill.
- Match your crosshair to the alignment frame. The zoomed crop of the same frame is there for the fine adjustment — line up on the landmark it highlights, not on the middle of your screen.
- Hold both mouse buttons and release together. This lineup is tagged for both throw inputs, which is the medium-strength throw — a plain left click overshoots it and a plain right click falls short.
- It lands on Mini after 7.3 seconds in the air. Compare the result frame against your own throw — if the smoke is off, the alignment step is almost always the one that drifted.
What this grenade does
A CS2 smoke is volumetric: the cloud fills the volume it lands in, leaks through gaps and doorways, and holds for roughly 18 seconds, so where it settles matters far more than where it was thrown from.
This is a T-side lineup: it is thrown to open up Nuke for an execute, so it is worth having a teammate ready to move the moment the Smoke is on Mini.

How hard is it
Medium — the alignment is tight enough that you should check the reference frame before you rely on it in a match.
Does it still work?
Map geometry and grenade physics change between CS2 updates, and a lineup that worked last season can land a metre short after a patch. No member has voted on this lineup yet. If you land it, mark it verified so the next player knows it survived the latest update.
