Nuke is one of CS2\u2019s most demanding maps and remains a regular pick in both matchmaking and professional play. Its two bombsites are located on different levels, so each round depends on clear calls and strong map knowledge. A position can be nearby, above, or below, which makes vague information costly. Teams need to track Lobby, Ramp, Heaven, Secret, Vents, and both sites. They can lose valuable time or miss rotations when a callout lacks context. Unlike simpler maps built around open lanes, Nuke forces players to think about vertical control and timing simultaneously. Therefore, learning Nuke callouts helps avoid confusion during competitive matches.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Callouts Work on Nuke<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nuke callouts work differently from those on many other CS2 maps because the layout is built around verticality. The A Site is located on the upper level, while the B Site sits directly below it, and the map also features underground routes. This makes floor awareness just as important as position names. A callout on Nuke often indicates whether an enemy is above or below, not only left or right. Since the radar offers limited help in these multi-level situations, voice communication becomes the primary way to share useful info.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sound also plays a major role on Nuke. Doors, footsteps, activity around Squeaky, and movement between floors can reveal positions before anyone is seen. A drop into Vents from A Site, for example, can signal a fast rotation toward B. These details become easier to read with experience. Nuke callouts remain the same in both Premier and regular matchmaking, so learning them once applies across both modes.<\/span><\/p>\n

CT Spawn<\/div>
The Counter-Terrorist starting position. It gives CTs quick access to Outside, Hell, Ramp, and the main rotation routes.

Also known as:
\u2013 CT<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
CT\r Box<\/div>
The box on the CT side of Outside, near CT Red. CTs can use it as cover when watching Outside, holding the cross, or stopping Ts from moving toward Secret.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Garage<\/div>
The building that overlooks Outside. CTs often hold it with rifles or AWPs because it gives control over the open area and can stop Ts from reaching Secret.

Also known as:
\u2013 Warehouse<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Secret<\/div>
The stairs leading from Outside down to Tunnels. It allows players to rotate deeper into B Site through Double Doors or Decon, and provides a path up to A Site through Vents.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Outside<\/div>
The large open area outside the main building. It works like Nuke\u2019s middle area as it connects T side, Garage, Secret, Main, and CT-side positions. Even though this area is quite large, it's still a little closer to T Spawn.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
T\r Red<\/div>
The red container near T Spawn. It gives cover during early Outside fights and is often used for peeks, smokes, and safer movement toward Secret.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
CT\r Red<\/div>
The red container near Garage and Secret. CTs use it for counter-peeks, boosts, and holding Ts who try to cross Outside.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Main<\/div>
The entrance from Outside into A Site. It\u2019s useful for late splits, CT retakes, and holding rotations.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Silo<\/div>
The large silo outside that can be reached from T Roof. Ts can use it to watch Outside, support smokes, or pressure defenders near Garage and Red.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
A Site<\/div>
The upper bombsite where the bomb can be planted. It gives Ts direct access to post-plant positions, while CTs can contest it from Heaven, Rafters, Main, and Hut.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Hut<\/div>
The small structure that leads from Lobby into A Site. It\u2019s one of the fastest T entries onto A and is often used with flashes to overwhelm close defenders. Its walls can also be shot through, so players inside can take damage even before the entry starts.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Tetris<\/div>
The boxes next to Hut on A Site. This position gives cover after an entry and can be used to break the CT crossfire from Rafters or Heaven.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Rafters<\/div>
The elevated catwalk and beam area around A Site. It gives CTs strong positions to watch upper-site entries, support the A anchor, and delay pushes from Hut, Squeaky, or Main.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Vent<\/div>
The ventilation through which you can get from A Site to B Site and vice versa very quickly.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
T Roof<\/div>
The roof reached from T Spawn by ladder. It gives Ts access to Silo and helps set up fast Outside pressure or utility throws.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Squeaky<\/div>
The door next to Hut that opens directly into A Site. It can create a sudden entry timing, but the door sound often gives CTs clear information. The door can be shot through, making this area risky when opponents expect pressure from Lobby.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Lobby<\/div>
The area that connects Hut, Squeaky, Ramp, and the inner routes. It\u2019s the main staging point for T-side defaults, fakes, and late-round decisions.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Radio<\/div>
The room with vending machines near Lobby. It works as a transition point toward Trophy and Ramp, making it useful for setting up lower attacks or holding against CT pushes.

Also known as:
\u2013 Vending<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Trophy<\/div>
The room between Radio and the Ramp route, marked by trophy displays. It helps Ts move toward Ramp while staying inside, and CTs can use it to read or delay lower pressure.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Ramp<\/div>
The wide area leading toward B Site. CTs often fight for it early or fall back from it to delay a lower push.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Headshot<\/div>
The large box on Ramp that can be used as cover. It gives players a protected angle during Ramp fights and can slow down pushes from Control.

Also known as:
\u2013 Back Ramp<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Big\r Box<\/div>
The large cover near Ramp. It helps players survive pressure from Control and gives CTs time to delay the push.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Control<\/div>
The room between Trophy and Ramp. From here, the T-side usually enters Ramp to reach B Site.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Hell<\/div>
The position directly below Heaven. It connects CT rotations, Ramp access, and lower movement.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Heaven<\/div>
The elevated balcony above A Site, connected through the upper rotation routes. It gives CTs a clear angle over the site and is often used to hold A, support teammates from above, or start retakes.

Also known as:
\u2013 Nine<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Lockers<\/div>
The room inside near Heaven and Hell, with windows facing Outside. CTs can use it for early information, while Ts can clear it to reduce flank risk after taking Outside.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
T Spawn<\/div>
The Terrorist starting position. From here, Ts can move toward Lobby, T Roof, or Outside, depending on the round plan.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Tunnels<\/div>
The narrow corridor leading toward Doors. It is often used to approach B Site from the lower side and can become a key post-plant position after the bomb is down.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
B Site<\/div>
The lower bombsite where the bomb can be planted. It\u2019s the main target after Ramp, Secret, or Vent control, and post-plant setups often depend on holding the entrances around it.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Vent<\/div>
The ventilation through which you can get from A Site to B Site and vice versa very quickly.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Decon<\/div>
The single-door entrance near B Site. CTs often use it for retakes, while Ts can hold it after the plant to stop rotations. The door can also be shot through, so players shouldn\u2019t stay too close to it for long.

Also known as:
\u2013 Single<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Back Vents<\/div>
The lower vent exit area between Decon and Tunnels. It connects lower rotations after a vent drop and can be used to move toward B Site, Decon, or Tunnels.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Bottom\r Ramp<\/div>
The lower, more enclosed part of Ramp, providing a view of B Site. It has two entrances, with a large wall in the middle, which allows players to carefully peek B Site before entering.

Also known as:
\u2013 Lower Ramp<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Window<\/div>
The small room with a glass window that can be broken. It gives a view toward B Site and helps players check movement before entering or retaking the site.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Doors<\/div>
The double doors leading into B Site. This entrance is used for direct site fights, so it often becomes a key point during entries and retakes. The doors can be shot through, which makes the position risky when opponents expect someone behind them.

Also known as:
\u2013 Double<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Dark<\/div>
The closed corner on B Site. CTs can wait there to punish fast entries, but the position must be cleared as it\u2019s common in close fights.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Turnpike<\/div>
The connector between Hell and the Ramp area. Here, CT players usually wait for the T-side to exit Control to prevent them from reaching Ramp.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Boost<\/div>
An elevated position often used around Ramp-side control. It can create an unexpected angle for CTs and force Ts to clear more than the standard Ramp positions.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Mustang<\/div>
A position above Hut on the A Site rafters side. From there, CTs can catch Hut entries off guard.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
Bridge<\/div>
Bridge connects Rafters to Mustang. This narrow walkway provides an aggressive angle over the Hut exit, but leaves defenders exposed to crossfires from the main site.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
