Master the Art of Nade Throws: The Best Nade Training Maps in CS:GO

Grenades in Counter-Strike Global Offensive go largely unignored by players in lower ranks. However, their importance can't be overlooked as players have already determined spots they need to throw their grenades in to get an advantage. If you're not in the same league, you'll find yourself on the shorter end of the stick and quickly overpowered in competitive matches.

We'll be going over the best nade training maps and methods in CSGO that you can use to manipulate the playing field.

There are three chat commands that you can use to navigate between the training map, and/or to return to the lobby once you're done with a specific training mode.

• Next - By typing 'next' in chat, you'll be able to skip to the next training drill in the currently selected training mode.
• Prev - By typing 'prev' in chat, you can go back to the previous drill that you were in, should you feel like you need to practice it more.
• Back - This command will take you back to the lobby once you feel like you don't need to go through with the entirety of the training.

How to Select Nade Throwing Practice Modes

You can practice your flash, Molotov, and smoke throws in Yprac's training maps. To select them, when you initially load up the map, shoot at either of the three nade training modes, and you'll be good to go!

Once you select a practice mode, you'll be thrown into the training map in different positions with a red spot on the ground that will instruct you where to stand. Red lines will be your reference point for aim training, showing you where to throw the grenade for the most value precisely.
