Nuke
A vertical three-level map (Underground / A / B Outside); the B elevator rush is a classic. Outside needs three smokes before you even step in, standard A is Silo/Ramp smokes + 3 smokes + 2 flashes, and a loud Outside fake through Secret/Vents flips B.

Hold angles from above and flank through the lower levels; defense enjoys a huge high-ground advantage. Default 2-2-1 (Heaven/Outside/Site), take an Outside duel then bail, and never rotate Pass while Vent and Outside are both loud — keep the B vent-drop molly.
Key Tactics on Nuke
Three Outside smokes, a Silo smoke and Ramp smoke open the A execute; otherwise fake loud Outside and slam Secret/Vents into B. Hearing MP9/Tec-9 usually predicts the B hit.
The B elevator rush still wins rounds on low elo; at higher levels, use it as a decoy — CTs hear it instantly, so trade the noise for a Secret take.
CT forces love pre-firing Vents, so T ecos rush Outside smokeless to catch passive CTs, and hoard smokes. CT forces win here with utility and one rifle, not five guns.
