The Built-In Grenade Camera

Master the fundamentals. Read through the briefing below, then prove your knowledge in the final capstone quiz to secure your rewards.

You don't need a third-party client to learn grenade lineups anymore. CS2 introduced a native "Practice Mode" with a built-in Picture-in-Picture (PiP) grenade camera, but most players don't know how to turn it on.

How to set up your Sandbox: Instead of queuing for Premier, click Play > Practice > Competitive, and ensure the left-side toggles for Infinite Ammo, Grenade Camera, and Warmup are turned ON.

The Trajectory Ghost: When you pull the pin on a grenade in this mode, a small camera window appears in the bottom left of your screen. This shows you exactly where the grenade will land before you even throw it.

  • If you are trying to find a new smoke for Mirage Window, simply walk around T-Spawn holding left-click with a smoke. Watch the PiP camera until the landing zone perfectly covers the window, then memorize where your crosshair is aiming.

  • Once you throw it, you can type sv_rethrow_last_grenade in the developer console to make the server throw it again, allowing you to run to the site and see if there are any gaps.
