  1. Click Play
  2. Click Practice
  3. Choose Casual
  4. Toggle on:
    • Grenade Camera
    • Infinite Ammo
    • Infinite Warmup
  5. Once in-game, type into the console:

    • bind n noclip

This will let you practice grenades with CS2's all-new Grenade Camera, which lets you see where the grenade you're cooking is going to land once you throw it. You can additionally press the n key to fly around after the grenade to see where it lands.

How to smoke Mirage Sniper's Nest from T spawn in CS2

Screenshot by Pro Game Guides

To begin with, you'll need to walk to the trash can location just on your right as you spawn on the T side. Then, do the following:

  1. Stand right next to the trash can.
  2. Aim for the fence and door frame margins.
  3. Jump-throw the smoke.

This might take several attempts since the smoke bounces off the very narrow ledge of the mid-catwalk, landing into the sniper's nest and smoking the whole place up.
