CS2Tricks (with NadeKing) is a community site for CS2 grenade lineups. If you have a new smoke, flash, molotov, or HE grenades to share, follow these steps to prepare and submit it. This guide covers setting up your practice game, recording video and screenshots, filling out the submission form. We also provide example submissions and templates.

Setting Up Your Practice Game

Before you record anything, set up a proper offline practice environment. Go to Play → Practice → Competitive, pick your map, then open the console and paste this config:

sv_cheats 1;
bind "c" "noclip";
alias zoom_on "fov_cs_debug 30; bind x zoom_off";
alias zoom_off "fov_cs_debug 90; bind x zoom_on";
bind "x" "zoom_on";
cl_draw_only_deathnotices 1;
sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_trailtime 0;
alias togglehud "hudoff";
alias hudoff "cl_drawhud 0; r_drawviewmodel 0; alias togglehud hudon";
alias hudon "cl_drawhud 1; r_drawviewmodel 1; alias togglehud hudoff";
bind v "togglehud";
bind "k" "sv_rethrow_last_grenade";
mp_restartgame 1;
mp_maxmoney 16000;
mp_startmoney 16000;
mp_buytime 9999;
sv_infinite_ammo 1;
mp_buy_anywhere 1;

Here's what it does:

• sv_cheats 1 — Unlocks cheat commands required for everything else
• bind "c" "noclip" — Fly freely through the map to check landing spots from above
• bind "x" zoom toggle — Press X to zoom in/out for precise screenshots
• bind "v" HUD toggle — Hide your HUD and viewmodel during recording
• sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_trailtime 0 — Removes the grenade trail (must be off before recording)
• bind "k" "sv_rethrow_last_grenade" — Instantly rethrow your last grenade to refine the lineup
• mp_maxmoney / mp_startmoney 16000 — Always have enough cash to buy
• mp_buytime 9999 — Open the buy menu at any time
• sv_infinite_ammo 1 — Infinite grenades so you never run out

Run mp_restartgame 1 once after loading to start with a clean round.

Step 1: Record Your Video

CS2Tricks has strict video guidelines — not following them is the most common reason submissions get rejected.

Before you hit record:

• Apply the required crosshair code under Settings → Game → Apply Crosshair Code:
  • CSGO-UtjCm-feURh-Msq7z-WzDk2-pDWPA
• Record at 1080p (16:9) or higher — no 4:3 stretched
• Disable post-processing (Nvidia Freestyle, custom gamma, etc.)
• In-game audio only — no music or commentary

Your video must show:

1. Where to stand and how to aim
2. The full throw from start to landing — no cuts
3. HUD hidden throughout — press V or run cl_drawhud 0; r_drawviewmodel 0 in console

Step 2: Fill Out the Nade Details

Head to CS2Tricks and fill in the submission form:

• Team — Terrorist, Counter-Terrorist, or Both
• Map — Select your map (Mirage, Inferno, Dust2, etc.)
• Movement — Stationary, Crouching, Walking, or Running
• Nade Type — Smoke, Flash, Molotov, or HE
• Technique — Left Click, Right Click, Mouse Both, Jump & Mouse Left, Jump & Mouse Right, or Jump & Mouse Both

Writing Good Instructions

Your description should cover four things in order:

1. Position — Where to stand using a clear callout ("stand at the corner of Pit")
2. Aimpoint — What to aim at ("aim at the plank in the middle")
3. Stance — Crouching, standing, running
4. Throw — The exact throw type ("right-click throw")

Examples of good instructions:

"Stand at the corner of Pit, aim at the stain on the wall, run, then jump-throw after 2 steps."

"Stand between the planks at Car, aim at the bottom-left corner of the window, and right-click to throw."

Short, specific, and complete — nothing left to guess.

Teleport Command (Optional but Recommended)

This lets other players jump straight to your exact position in-game. To get it:

1. Stand at your throw position and aim exactly as you would for the nade
2. Open the console and type getpos
3. Copy the full output — it looks like this:

setpos -299.968750 -1161.931030 136.256561; setang -16.521105 90.546722 0.000000;

Paste that into the Teleport Command field on the form.

Step 3: Take Your Screenshots

You need three screenshots, all with the HUD off. Use Steam's screenshot shortcut (F12 by default).

Result Image

Where the nade lands or its effect (smoke cloud, molotov coverage, flashbang whiteout). For flashes, sub in an HE grenade so the explosion shows.

Lineup Image

Your standing position and aim direction.

Zoomed Lineup Image

A close-up of your exact aim point. Press X or run fov_cs_debug 30; cl_drawhud 0; r_drawviewmodel 0 in console.

Step 4: Final Checklist Before Submitting

Go through this before you hit submit:

• ☑️ Map and teams are set correctly
• ☑️ Grenade type is selected
• ☑️ Movement and technique are filled in
• ☑️ Instructions cover position, aim, movement, and throw
• ☑️ Video is 1080p, 16:9, HUD hidden
• ☑️ Crosshair matches the required code
• ☑️ All three screenshots are uploaded

The CS2Tricks team reviews every submission manually. The closer your lineup matches the quality already on the site, the faster it gets approved.

Good luck, and happy fragging. 💨
