Map Review: de_nuke by Ragnarock

Hey ! I'm Ragnarock, and I made up a guide for my favorite map in CS: GO : de_nuke. In it, I will show you the differents zones with their names, some tips about Grenade throws, wall-banging spots, boosts, example of CT camp locations and T strategy attacks. [NOT FINISHED]

Map Analysis, Location Names / Analyse de la map, Nom des zones

de_nuke is a pretty big map, so I highlighted the most important locations of it. I recommend you to learn them so that you'll have a faster speech with your teammates. Lots of this vocabulary has been influenced by TheWarOwl, a CS: GO youtuber I HIGHLY recommend you to check out. Of course some people will have their own terms, I'm using these.

de_nuke est une map plutot grande, alors j'ai repésenté les endroits les plus importants. Je vous recommande d'apprendre leur nom, afin de communiquer plus facilement en jeu. La majeure partie du vocabulaire utilisé ici à été influencé par le youtuber TheWarOwl, que je vous recommande GRANDEMENT. Bien sur certaines personnes auront leurs propres termes, j'utilise ces suivants.

T Spawn



Where Terrorists will spawn on the map.

CT Spawn



Where Counter-Terrorists will spawn on the map.

Lobby



Lobby is where Ts will begin a push to go to Ramps¹, Hut or Squeeky. The teams can exchange Flashbangs in Hut, "Leamonade Squeeky"² or simply open it. There's an access to Roof too by a ladder, ladder that can lead you to a sort of balcony³, which is great for camping.

1: They will need to pass in Radio Room first of course. The push is called Ramps, because you pass trough the actual room in it.
2: An expression that basically mean that you want to throw a Grenade at the door to blow it up. It comes from "Lemme nade the door".
3: The balcony in Lobby.


Lobby, c'est où les Terros vont passer afin d'aller Ramps¹, Hut ou Squeeky. Les équipes peuvent échanger des Grenades GSS (plutôt appelés Flashbangs) dans Hut, "Leamonade Squeeky"² ou tout simplement l'ouvrir. Il y a un accès à Roof avec une échelle, échelle qui peut vous mener à une sorte de balcon³, excellent pour camper.

1: Ils devront passer par Radio Room d'abord. Le push est appelé Ramps, car on y passe.
2: Une expression signifiant que vous vous voulez faire exploser la porte à l'aide d'une Grenade. Cela vient de l'anglais "Lemme nade the door".

Introduction - Terrorists / Terroristes (T)

Believe it or not, de_nuke is more of a CT oriented map. The CTs can have the control of both bombs sites easily, since they can pass in the vents, or simply get trough the ramps which are two areas you might want to check if you play as T. Many strategies are used though, and usually, on de_nuke, you might pass trought an area only because the CTs weren't well placed, or if you play the right way, and throw nades at the right place at the right moment. We'll be covering up these later on.

Croyez-le ou non, de_nuke avantage les CT. Ils peuvent prendre le controle des deux sites de plantages facilement, en jonglant grace aux conduits (vents) ou dans les ramps, qui sont deux endroits que vous devriez bien surveillez en T. Il y a malgré tout bien des stratégies pour vous tirez de l'affaire, mais il y n'y aura que deux possiblitées pour remporter la victoire, soit un mauvais placement des CT, soit une bonne stratégie de votre coté.

Introduction - Counter Terrorists / Anti-Terroristes (CT)

Being CT, you'll have a much easier time to win rounds. As mentioned before, de_nuke offers lots of ways of going to bomb sites. Though, if your team is not well placed and organized, you might have problems, and have to predict where they'll plant.

En tant que CT, il sera bien plus facile de gagner des rounds. Comme dit précédemment, de_nuke vous laisse multiples choix d'accès aux sites de plantages. Cependant si votre équipe est mal organisée et placée, vous devrez vous contenter de prédire l'endroit où ils planteront.

Terrorist hiding posts (when bomb is planted) / Cachettes des Terroristes (après plantage de la bombe)

1: On the Rafters


2: Hut Entry in Lobby


3: Lobby Balcony


4: "The Door in A"


5: Behind the Crate (crouch)


6: Main Watch


7: Ladder Watch


8: Behind the Vents


9: On the Hut, Vents, Main and "The Door in A" watch


9: On the Hut, Hut Exit on A and Ladder watch

The Pistol Round - Terrorists / Terroristes (T)

On the first round, you could go wherever you want. Actually, I would not recommend the ramps (to plant B) , because they can hide pretty easily and you'll have to waste money on grenades. Same with A. So the two last options are the following: rush in the vents in A, to finally plant in B (that's a good niche) or outside (to plant B). The problem is that the USP-S (only for CT) will have an advantage outside due to its very good accuracy. Let's see how it goes on the map.


Analysis:

Rush Vents:
1: The bomb carrier will have to open the door in A. The others will follow him in this action.
2: The bomb carrier will shoot the door to pass trought the vents. The others will follow him in this action.
3: The bomb carrier will plant the bomb.

Special Thanks

To DS, that fixed some of my mistakes I made ("that's because you're french!").

Well, Marshmallow and Barrels are two names I took from a youtuber, and I kinda like them, but I'll consider it by putting the "actual names" next to my version of the names. Thank you !

[Cerberus]

Generally a very good job. However 2 spots are widely known with different name. 1st is Silo not Marshmallow. 2nd is Toxic not Barrels. Very good job, thx.

[Kledsky]

cool I appreciate you listening to feedback, great guide btw.

[nevermind]

Omg that's a really useful information. I'm gonna fix this. Thanks a lot.

[Kledsky]

It's not called "Door to A" it's called "Squeeky". It says this in the map and also I've hard it numerous times in multiplay. Good guide otherwise but u really should change that because I hear all the time "going squeaky to vents" (planting B going the way you described in this guide) or "squeaky to A" etc. etc. all the time and it would help if people knew what they were talking about...

nice
