Wallbangs hold a strong part in Counterstrike: Global Offensive, albeit not as good as the predecessors to the series. Despite this, they are just as (or even more) notable when they occur. They help us pray for the one shot to take out the enemy, or at least inflict some damage before challenging them face-to-face. On de_nuke, wallbangs stay a feature from the old but gold version to its new and modernized iteration. Later into this article, the following wallbangs are sure to help you in any situation.

Counter-Terrorist Wallbangs

All of these following wallbangs are likely to be beneficial for the Counter-Terrorist side in CS:GO, due to the nature of where they are located. For the left photo, this can be performed on the A bombsite on the one vent that does not have an opening. It can be hit from any direction, the only that matters is that you aim down and hit slightly above the angle where it meets the concrete floor. If this is done correctly, it can hit anyone around the edge of the vents as exampled in the right photo.

Another fun wallbang is only viable if you have an autosniper. What you will need to do is play the Ramp behind the box pictured on the top left in the corner. When you get into the corner, whip out the autosniper and aim at the small speck of white as pictured in the top right and bottom left photo. Then, start blasting away! Be sure to have a teammate covering you to the far left right by the garage door in case if enemies get near you. I'd only advise doing this if your economy is large and the enemy team has a fetish for going Ramp on almost every round.

Side-Neutral Wallbangs

The next wallbangs are useful for either side, since there are various situations where the Terrorists or the Counter-Terrorists can make use of playing these spots. This wallbang can take care of any three of the little cubed spots inside of Toxic, but smarter players tend to hide directly behind the door to avoid being spotted. As mentioned earlier, this is a good spot where players hide at to surprise the enemy. For this one, all you have to do is spam any of the three unopenable trapdoors. If you look at the right photograph, any enemy is sure to be decimated if they get hit due to the fact most of the connecting bullets will hit the head.

Another neat spot requires a sniper rifle and a bit of luck and convenient timing. If you get to the bottom of the ramp where the two doors meet the Bravo bombsite, there is a small vent in the middle of the ground. If they're just about to plant or defuse, you can do this wallbang since almost every team plants atop the nuclear silo! This might take some practice, but a good portion of it comes down to luck on where you shoot. If you want to be relatively precise, get yourself alright on the topright edge of the vent as pictured in the left photo and aim straight up. A good figure of when to start firing is when the ground is not visible on your screen and all you can see is the metal garage door. This should be used as a Terrorist when someone is defusing bomb and you don't have the HP to risk peeking out at them. Or, as a Counter-Terrorist, it can be used to stop the bomb planter if he is planting at the mentioned spot.

Terrorist Wallbang

Terrorists don't have much outside of the usual spray and pray on anything that looks penetrable, here's a nice one for any AWPer looking to seek out the true Heaven. As soon as the round begins, run to the ladder to get on the roof. Once on the roof, head to the ladder that connects the Roof to the Lobby. When you are there, line up on the little staircase in the corner and crouch as in the left photo. Once positioned, aim on the thin plaster on the closest window and start firing. If one hits the right spot, it should harm or even kill the Counter-Terrorist watching the Alpha bombsite from Heaven.

Conclusion

Regardless of the map, wallbangs are a key part of CS:GO that give us that nice edge from luck we are given at times. For de_nuke, it is something that people make videos and videos of lucky frags about from any version of the map simply because of one thing; it is enjoyable to see it happen. As any Counterstrike player will say, when they see that one fatal shot penetrate through a surface into the enemy, theres a small moment of joy that comes with it.
