Utilities include grenades and defuse kits. Grenades are the most widely used utilities in order to:Since utilities are SO important to this game, CS:GO wouldn't be categorized as semi-realistic without these grenades. However, there are situations where grenades can save you, whereas some can not.The Defuse kit is autility to win a round as a CT. Since a normal bomb plant has 40 seconds to detonate, it only takes 3 defuses to defuse a bomb without a kit. For instance, every 10 second is one defuse available. Do you get what I'm saying? So, with a kit, you havedefuses since 40/5 = 8. So with a kit, you can have up to 7 defuses, whereas without a kit, you can only have up to 3. That's what makes the Defuse Kit so important to the CT side.Grenades have their own function. Let's see what each grenade does.only make a smoke screen, or a giant cloud of smoke. This smoke can only block vision. It can be bought by bothand. Players can only buy one smoke grenade, which means 5 smoke grenades per team. Since the grenade has the ability to block off vision, it is useful to stop rushes, and make safe rotations. However, these smokes are not solid, so bullets can go through the smokes.can only blind and deafen players for a short period of time. Those who view will experience longer effects, while those who are far and view will experience short effects of the flashbang. The flashbang can stop rushes if timed correctly. There are many ways to flash, but the most effective method to flash is calleddeal damage depending on how far and close the enemy is. If the HE Grenade directly hits an enemy, it can deal vast amounts of damage, and can instantly kill the enemy. However, theabsorbs the damage of the grenade. It has a wide damage area, capable of damaging multiple enemies, but it can create attention and damage teammates.basically look like flashbangs that cause fake gun shots. It creates fake gun shots with the most expensive weapon you bought.Most importantly, since it only makes gunshots with the most expensive weapon you have, you can create a fake round type by throwing a decoy when you only have a P250 or Five-Seven. This will cause your enemies to think your team is on an eco round. The Decoy Grenade also can bait enemies to look away since it looks like a flashbang.create blockades that damage enemies/teammates when in the radius of the flame. These grenades are useful to stopping a rush, and having enemies reveal themself to get out of the flame radius. However, there are some bugs with these that can go through roofs such as flaming an area in a position in CT spawn to put a flame area on Extended A. However, Molotovs/Incendiary Grenades cancreate a flame area in the air. That is why timing your molotovs/incendiary grenades is important. The flame areas canbe created through smokes and water. They also bounce off of steep ramps and not create a flame area. However, it is unsure whether Valve will fix it or not.
