Strategy
How to Play Train
The CS2 remake is faster and much less favorable to CTs than the old Train map. The train cars create a multitude of angles, and the Z Connector is the main artery of the entire map.
I'll be at A Main and Popdog, maybe lurking at Ivy or Alley, and the B halls are an option.
Smokes sur Ivy et sur les couloirs CT, combat from A Main, puis descente par l’échelle de Popdog dans le dos de la défense.
Two players go through Alley toward Ivy while the others stall at A Main, to take the court from both corners.
Upper B and Ramp B at the same time after a flurry of flashes, Molotovs on the reels, and smoke on the Z Connector.
Utility players and players start at A Main, then rotate via the Z Connector to B when the defenders cross over.
Une AWP tient A from Heaven, E Box ou un wagon, l’autre surveille B ou le Z Connector.
One on Ivy, one listening to Popdog, and a B-anchor playing around the cars.
A stationary AWP is easy to spot. We switch positions and depths from one round to the next.
Molotovs on Popdog's ladder and on Ramp B; smoke in A Main as soon as the attack begins.
This is the key to rotations and retakes. Mastering it allows you to get back into both courts from an unexpected angle.
Positions AWP
Key Utilities
- Ivy Smokes and CT corridors to attack A
- Molotov on the Popdog ladder on the CT side
- Molotov on B's reels
- Smoke Z Connector on the B attacks
- Grenades placed in the gaps between railcars
Where to Plant
Mistakes to Avoid
- Launching a direct assault on a stationary defense—the gaps between the train cars are deadly
- Leave the Popdog ladder unattended on the CT side
- Keeping an AWP in the same spot for several rounds
As a pro
Train was part of the official pool for one season before being replaced by Anubis in January 2026. The old Train was a CT stronghold based on deep AWP positions.
