You can use decoys in sync with the CS2 refund feature. Example : Buy an AWP, throw decoy, refund AWP. Decoy will play AWP sounds. It's a minor thing, I guess, but might have some use case lol
as for decoys. they serve an important role in maps like office. taking over paper control can be hard even with pop flashes. using a decoy to fake a flash will give you either free 2 kills or big control over the area. it can also be useful when preventing garage rushes
yeah using decoys as fake flashes work really well especially on areas where enemies are expecting a flash such as mid on mirage or outside on nuke, they're a good way to get an easy pick on an awp who's ready to be flashed and reacts accordingly, the other advantage is that unlike other nades the bounce sound of a decoy and the look are the same as a regular flash which helps for enimes that know the differences between each of the nades.
Decoy grenades are actually very useful to give the illusion of quantity in certain spots of the map or just to fake a flash. Pistol rounds if at least 2 players get to buy a decoy and throw on the opposite site of a rush, a lurker can play as if the team is rushing and get some attention drawn to it. It works sometimes.
Decoys are very useful as an awper, bc the enemy would think that you shooted but it's just decoy bait. It's useful in situations when you have barely for full armor & defuse and awp and u can afford Decoys.
love the way you break things down and show examples in an easy to understand way that still provides good depth that I don't really see a lot of people doing. Esp the section on mollies about cutting off the areas T's WANT to go to after they've committed seems so obvious but wasn't something I ever considered using in that way.
I like to use decoys on vertigo to fake a B entry while everyone else goes ramp. Smoke off the area so they can't see down, throw a decoy down, and toss a molly and flash, giving the appearance of an entry. Usually doesn't pull everyone away but will make some cts rotate making it easier for the team to take the opposite sight. I'd say only buy a decoy in limited scenarios where you have an actual plan with it.
I like to use the HE as a mini smoke bomb, since the particle effect that HEs leave behind is enough to obfuscate you peaking around a corner for a split second
Decoys have one use. Baiting rotates on t pistol when playing vertigo. Often when playing with my team we throw 5 decoys to A-ramp and then go to a free or weakened B site
another thing i like to do with flashes that i don t see enough even in high elo lobbies is right clicking a flash behind you when you are about to peek an angle where you know an enemy is posted . Seriously that is one of the most powerful thing to do with flashbangs in the game , especially if you double swing because even if the enemy doesn t flick away and gets you your teammate will have a free kill
This was a great video for a silver like me! Also, the decoy sounds for the XM are so loud when you’re close to the decoy that it’s hard to hear anything else. It really annoyed me when an enemy team used those haha
Honestly when I play with my friends, or even just on wingman, I find decoys usefull as hell because they are used as.. well, decoys, a few days ago I got 2 kills with a decoy on wingman cuz the dudes thought it's a flash
Hey now don't throw shade on the decoy grenades, for $50 you can get them when you can get nothing else, and if done right they can be as useful as a flash or even more useful in some cases. Throw it like a flash and push out while the enemy gets baited to turn around, but you don't get flashed at all, so it's a free kill. I do it all the time. $50 for all that! Underrated.
Im pretty new to the game, but i use the decodys with the smokes só people think im pushhing or enganded. On smokes Your tipes are great but if anyone plays valorant before cs they pretty useless. But great video and thx for the tips.
about the tinnitus thing @ 6:30 - spectators/dead teammates can still hear the defuse (unless thats been patched in cs2?)
if it isnt patched, i did not know that
however i still wouldnt trust your teammates to call out that bomb is being defused
@@WaTzu oh most definitely xD

THANK YOU!
I had a rough time slow-mo-ing the TH-cam to read that. It was like a fun easter egg.
mad respect for deflashing the flash on video

The other way I use decoys is faking sight pushes (Throw a smoke, a decoy in the smoke and spam it so enemies think your team is pushing it)
Good idea
8:50 you can use decoys as fake flashbangs as they look similar

This video increased my nading skills by 0.001 percent.

Maturity is when you realise that this might be the best introductory CS video on utility usage.

hey nice video :D decoys can be really good if ur enemy thinks its a flash xD
I was once faked by a decoy that the awp was away from site and then my head got exploded after i tried to clear site

youre really underrated
decoys are only useful with awp btw to bait a guy to go out of cover in a duel situation, making him thing you took a shot and vulnerable now
fake flash b stairs on vertigo has gotten me a few cheeky kills and a ton of space for very little investment
Very concise video ty

Great video bro! But i think we need more about smokes

Buy decoy when its the last round in the half/ game and you dont have enough money for other nades. Then use it as a fake flash
decoys work very well as a fake flash
decoys are good with awpers to bait out the opposite awper thinking you have shot
Ah come on man, there's a bunch of cool stuff you can do with decoys. Best kept secret in the game lol
Im pretty new to the game, but i use the decodys with the smokes só people think im pushhing or enganded. On smokes Your tipes are great but if anyone plays valorant before cs they pretty useless. But great video and thx for the tips.
I feel like this video made me a slightly above average cs player
2k hrs and for some reason i never thought about mollies like that???
Decoys are the goat I buy one every round
bro for 50$ decoys are super strong, especially when you have awp
Some poeple are real idiots and decoys look like flashes sooo
i swear you sound like fl0m
Just remeasured, still extremely below average. Disliked.
No i wont like and subscribe how about you make content good enough to not need to beg people?? Its honestly embarassing
Great video thanks bruv!
