CSGO grenade update introduces hilarious new way to fake a flash Molen via Team Liquid YT \/ ValveA new tactic has been unlocked in CSGO that\u2019s letting players \u2018clear\u2019 multiple angles using a single Flash Grenade \u2013 while not exactly having to pop the utility. Players are having a ball in CSGO after the Operation Riptide patch update that introduced the ability to drop grenades, similar to how you would with weapons. While there\u2019s split opinions on the latest changes, there\u2019s certainly enough changes to have an immediate impact on gameplay. That\u2019s what Mythic\u2019s Josiah \u2018JoJo\u2019 Jimenez found after testing out a tried-and-true troll tactic against an opponent. Essentially, they did the weapon drop fake that can sometimes fool an AWPer to shoot. But now that you can drop utility in the same fashion as weapons, it opens up the possibility to force seasoned CSGO players to look away from the Flash \u2013 even though there\u2019s no chance it\u2019ll actually pop. use 1 flash to clear multiple angles is new meta pic.twitter.com\/Kkrz2Gt0iD \u2014 JoJo (@JosiahCSGO) September 22, 2021 \u201cUse one flash to clear multiple angles is new meta,\u201d JoJo quipped, showing a clip of their gameplay where they dropped the flash in a way that appeared similar to an underhand toss for grenades. The clip utilized the new drop mechanic to perfection, since the opponent clearly reacted to the fake throw giving JoJo a clear opportunity to exploit. At this point in Counter-Strike\u2019s community, even lower ranked players know they should at least look away when a cylindrical object jumps across your screen. JoJo started the motion of dubbing this tactic the \u2018NA Flash,\u2019 which would give a new meaning to the long-running meme. While the new CSGO changes still need to be felt out, there\u2019s plenty of people already planning to experiment with this strat in their own matches. Valve will surely monitor how the Operation Riptide changes will affect CSGO in the long run, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see if this fake Flash could actually work on a consistent basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
