If you inspect the dual berettas, you tap both pistols together. This is audible to other players who are nearby.

About reloading to save time: although it's not faster to switch reload, but the reload of the bullets is faster than the animation, so if you want to reload and run somewhere else, you can wait untill bullets reload (before the animation ends when people were trying to switch reload) and go somewhere else and then take out your weapon, it will be reloaded and you saved a little time by running a little bit more distance. For example you reload Negev, after bullets actually reloaded you have to wait untill the animation ends to start shooting, if you want to change position just take out your knife after bullets are reloaded (not when the animation ends) and you save some time by doing that

[@SixTough]

Nice

[@MythicTF2]

I think the switching after reloading is a holdover from earlier versions of the game. It USED to be faster in 1.6 and source but in CSGO & now CS2 they fixed that so it's not a thing. It also has the benefit of cutting off the tail end of the reload sound which just gives less noise for the enemies to hear (which is the main reason you still see higher level players doing it even though it doesn't necessarily give an advantage)

[@SyRose901]

​@@MythicTF2In 1.6, you actually had to wait for the reload animation to finish almost completely, switching before you return to idle cancelled the reload every time. However, I think shooting with the AWP and then switching weapons twice quickly back to the AWP was the common play. I don't exactly know if it was actually faster, but that's what people preferred, because it didn't re-zoom in after the shot.

[@MythicTF2]

@@SyRose901 Yeah, I remember the AWP thing and its still something I do to this day. Ig it's also been a while since I've played 1.6 since I could've sworn that was the reason for the quick switch. At least in CS2 it has a tangible purpose (cutting off the 2nd half of the reload sound)

[@SyRose901]

@@MythicTF2 Lol yeah, the old game doesn't have an option to turn off the zoom after a shot, so people just switched twice instead of clicking twice, which is much slower. Reloading and then switching with an AWP was not a good option, haha, since you return to idle almost immediately after the number goes back up to 10.

[@aceamythyst6778]

For #20, I think I know the reason. The fire starts at the area the molotov hits the ground, and then spreads a small distance. This distance is enough to make a difference between more or less health. So if you want to run through a molotov, do it right after it's thrown for more HP.

[@Metaccine]

I actually didn't know about number 3 and would get confused why my teammates would make noise by pulling out their ak in a clutch

nades can collide in the air, happened to me when me and my teammate threw HE at the same time into pit, nades collided mid air and basically went to different directions. id look into that a bit more

What happens if you start defusing the bomb without a kit and someone shoots a kit on the floor onto you? Does the defuse time continue normally at 10sec, restarts at 5sec, the time is decreased by 10 sec or the bomb is instantly defused?

[@NeverStopGivingUp]

I don't think you can shoot a def kit around.

[@potatoman2442]

It probably stays the same time because the defuse script is triggered when you dind't have a kit.

if u start without kit its 10 sec, u have to start again to get 5 sec defuse

One thing to add though with grenade collision is that I was able to get a molly to collide in midair with an HE grenade. I know that it did because my molly, being thrown at window on mirage was blown out midair as my team’s grenade was thrown parallel. The molly was still well within its extinguish time.

[@ritLoe4222]

In number 13, Guns like the Scout, AUG, SSG, and things that DOUBLE tap the magazine can be quickswitched faster because you can quickswitch already at the first tap of the 2 taps in the magazine

[@bonesvivi]

You can skip the whole animation, but the time needed to shoot again after reloading is the exact same. The game has set a certain cooldown until a weapon is allowed to shoot again when reloading, so it is still more risky to quickswitch.

[@ritLoe4222]

[@phoen1x_cs]

switching before the reload animation is done does have a benefit of making 1 less bit of sound, so just in case if you are snekaing during a clutch, it might be worth it to make as less sound as possible

[@asquidboi]

8:00 bad news lads they buffed the mollie i think it does more damage, bigger radius and lasts longer

[@sonoramic]

So will pros finally use skins now. Seeing as they made a gentleman’s agreement way back in the day when we all found out they have different hitboxes.

[@NadeKing]

did you watch the video? :) heads are ~20% bigger in CS2 than they were in CS:GO, but models head sizes inside the game are kinda the same

[@sonoramic]

@@NadeKing that’s what I mean. Seeing as they are all the same size. That fixes the issue so now there is no need for the gentleman’s agreement. I might be miss understanding you.

[@eldave178]

​@@sonoramic pretty sure they don't use skins because they don't want the other team to know which one is which as proplayers have reputations with certain guns or pushes.

[@themomorain]

Now in csgo you could reload nova xm and sawed off silently is this still the case?

[@dylanbartlett2417]

in your body armor during fire clip, the one with armor on took 1 less damage for one tick, the one with armor went from 82 to 77, and without armor they went from 82 to 76, it rounded out at the end but the body armor fella still took less damage for one tick, maybe more testing needed

[@dr.sick6969]

Did u know that quickswitching while realoading stops the sound of the last part of reload like(shotgun cocking, pistol sliding, assault rifle bolt release) I often use it so if an enemy comes close enough to hear the last part of reload i quickswitch so they wont be able to locate me (if im lucky)

[@lougamerX]

I don't get why content creators keep falsely propagating the right eye peeking myth. If you go to the spots on nuke yourself you can tell without much issue that the "Left eye peeker" in this video was standing too far to the right (line up the corners from the CT's position and look at the red sign above the T). If he stands properly he can see the T's head as well but in this example it's just angle disadvantage because he's fighting with "his" corner. (Yes there is some "left eye" disadvantage while crouching but it's because your characters butt sticks out)

[@benwhittingtonmusic]

Uhh 5.?

[@SquibGourmand]

bro did you ai your voice

[@hiveraids]

Very unknown trick with the AUG, quickswitching CAN save a few milliseconds off that millennium of a reload time. You want to quick switch right before when the animation would normally smack the magazine’s bottom

[@LeoNidas-c8g]

I always thought the enemies would hear you if you pull out your weapons. Good to know that it's not like that, but what is definitely true is that you can hear their scope, be it from sg 553/aug or a sniper

[@Hostile2430]

About the quickswitching while reloading while it's technically true there's no time difference but watching the reloading animation feels too slower while quickswitching tricks our brain makes our reaction time faster

[@marvelhq1951]

5:21 in dust 2 if you sit behind the box type wall at B site or go under CT base at A side the distance is low but you will not get dead So, wall matters.

[@NilZakaLinX]

Nice #5, that was necessary!

[@mckenzi4608]

I think for the removing silencer thing, it's more so for psychological play rather than practical use. S1mpleb does the same with the usps to make the opponents know it was him that they were fighting

[@shadowphoenix2514]

9:20 also its broken with the upper part of b bombsite on nuke where u can see counter terrorists walking on platforms, especially gives value in wingmsn

[@DrCanadasubscripts]

when planting and they fake and get off, does it continue to make the sound or can you clearly hear them get off of the device?

[@000adrianelpiola000]

i still heard about the suppressor myths a lot. The suppressor is not the responsable of invisible bullet tracers, it ia the weapon. Of you remove the supp, the damage, spread and everything will still unchanged.

[@anonymnuss]

tip! if you crouch right after you jumped you can jump up higher (mirage triple is so much easier then)

[@EgeQaqd]

If you look down and inspect the incendiary the grenade will explode earlier

[@biohuk]

If you look at the spray shoot pattern of MAG-7 and effective distance, damage. It's way worse.

[@TransRoofKorean]

10:40 pretty sure nades are like the bomb in that the only thing that determines damage is proximity. I think that myth persists from the early days of original CS when you could headshot with nades. I dunno what the hitbox is that determines the nade hit, if it's halfway up the model or the torso, but if it's the torso it makes sense that the "head" nade would do more since it's closer than the ground. It's probably that. But... you're the NadeKing.

I actually realised something about the A and B bomb sounds. So when you plant the bomb A, then it beeps in A# (or A#1 to be exact) And when you plant it on B it’s down an octave on B# (or B#0)

Fun fact:When you reload any weapon, there is a reloading sound but, when you reload the R8 Revolver, there is no reloading sound.

NadeKing back at it again🔥🔥🔥

[@GaigeBuilder]

Now in CS2 Dual Berretas make noise when you inspect it, you can see it on map.

[@melc311]

That 20% larger head hitbox figure is misleading because that refers to the volume of the hitbox. In practice, only the area matters.

[@clebsgaming92]

Right eye / Left eye is indeed a myth! With proper comparisons we can clearly see that the only thing that matters is the distance to the angle. Neither is the player camera or model skewed as a lot of people think. Most videos are just biased.

[@DrFibee]

I somehow never noticed the difference between the wire colors, but I did notice the bomb numbers going faster.

[@RIV_E]

Wish i could still play the game,my pc dosent run it(worked the first time i joined the game and then it just crashes)

[@bergusf362]

How to use the bomb radius? Is there any command?

[@1wut-_-ヘッカー]

hiding the bomb is impossible because it always blinks. but if you plant the bomb in the water fountain.and the cts go defuse the bomb it will make a noise .and the player can hear water from the fountain.which will the player kill cts easily

[@TheEbbemonster]

Moving backwards from csgo: In CSGO walls blocked bomb radius, items blocked shots, hitboxes were more consistent, hitboxes followed animations, and worst of all, the peaker's advantage wasn't as extreme.

[@Giofear]

Yeah and now go even more backwards all the way to the state of CS GO 6 weeks after release...

[@D-Vinko]

In CS:GO it was STILL just radius; bombs only care about radius, you just are misidentifying the LARGER radius in CS2 as being walls protecting you in CS:GO, when you were farther from the explosion in CS:GO relative to CS2. Hitboxes were LESS consistent, that was literally his point (Consistent means MORE SIMILAR, hitboxes varied based on your skin in CSGO, which is not consistency, you could randomly get good hitboxes in CSGO.). Hitboxes NEVER followed animations; that's literally impossible, and it's impossible to prove with a single sided AWP video inb4. This is because of fundamentally how servers are synced to clients. Peeker's advantage is your only good point, and I'm sure you don't understand why.

[@ImNotAGoose69420]

9:10 what is the knife doin? It litrally slides up when you fall and the finger goes trough it

[@gaferbalerk]

So. I can confirm that grenades DO collide in the air. I peaked out CT garage on Nuke to chuck a frag, right as a smoke came in from above. My grenade not only deflected off the smoke, it bounced back and hit me.

[@vadnegru]

Grenades used to collide, i once collided he with my teammate flash. That was quite burning combo.

[@D-Vinko]

They could NEVER collide. There is another explanation for your play that doesn't involve grenades colliding, because they never had the ability to collide. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJW8gIhsntGUbM0

in CS:GO some pistols (elite, glock and CT starting pistols) did more damage to legs than they did to an armored chest, and the other pistols the exact opposite - i wonder if that's still the case I hope someone tests that in-depth since you mentioned that the exact spot mattered in CS2

So you cannot go from mirage to inferno and vice versa New maps were introduced (I dont need new maps give me my old mirage and inferno back 😭) Not to mention my potato pc cannot really run it now.
