Pro Tips 

 

  • It is entirely up to preference, but pressing “R” will shift the view in your smoke ability to be in the real map, making it easier to identify and tell where your smokes are getting placed. You can always switch between these two options for what suits you best.

  • Using one ways means you are looking to turn that smoke from a cover to a possible fight. Only that you will have every advantage in that fight, meaning if you ever use a one way you should definitely watch over it and take control of that space unlike regular smokes that you use to deny enemies.

  • There is a green arrow when you are using your smoke that refers to where your ability is going to be casted, following the instructions and that arrow you will be even able to create any smoke as long as you can identify where it is going to be placed.

  • Remember that each one way has an advantageous and disadvantage side, meaning if you are to place a one way as an attacker, this means if you ever end up repositioning to the spot you smoked you will be the one at a disadvantage, always make sure you are on the right side doing the right play.

  • By placing your smokes higher it will take more time for it to float down and reach the supposed area, this allows you to create some creative and unique plays if you wish to do so.
