Counter Blox Inferno Utility: Essential Smokes and Lineups

Counter Blox inferno utility allows teams to neutralize defensive sniper angles, isolate bombsite defenders, and execute coordinated takes on de_inferno. Because Counter Blox operates on Roblox physics rather than standard Valve engine mechanics, grenade trajectories require specific lineups and movement timings during buy rounds.

Using proper utility on de_inferno cuts off standard Counter-Terrorist (SAS) hold positions, particularly around Banana, CT spawn, Coffins, and Moto.

Counter Blox Utility Costs and Controls

Utility items are purchased during the freeze time at the start of each round via the in-game buy menu. In standard casual and unranked competitive modes, utility purchases are deducted from your match earnings.

To purchase utility, press B during the buy period. Throwing any equipped grenade is done using the Left Mouse Button (LMB), while movement alignment uses W, A, S, D and jumping is bound to the Spacebar.

B Site and Banana Utility Lineups

Taking control of Banana and breaking into B site requires shutting down visual confirmation from both the primary defensive rotation path (CT) and the back-site anchor spot (Coffins).

1. The Banana Deep Smoke and Molly Combo

Taking initial Banana control requires clearing aggressive defenders without taking headshot damage at the entrance:

1. Move to the corner near the entrance archway leading toward Banana.
2. Note the overhang directly above; jumping straight up will bump your character's head into the geometry.
3. Aim at the designated block marker, take one walking step forward using W, and jump throw.
4. The smoke lands deep in Banana, completely blocking sightlines from the site entrance.
5. Immediately follow up with a forward grenade or Molotov throw into the cleared lane. A Molotov landing in the forward lane deals roughly 50 damage to any CT holding close against the push.

2. The Coffins ("Cuff") Smoke

Once Banana control is secured, the player holding the back-line can blind the defender watching from Coffins:

1. Stand in the secured Banana staging area.
2. Place your crosshair against the structural detail marker, positioning the reticle slightly to the left edge where the geometry ends.
3. Release the smoke with a standard left-click standing throw.
4. The grenade blooms directly across the Coffins position. Any defender playing on the platform is blinded, preventing them from spotting attackers entering the site.

3. The CT Spawn Jump-Throw Smoke

To prevent Counter-Terrorists from rotating freely into B site from CT spawn, combine the Coffins smoke with this execute throw:

1. Line up along the Banana staging wall.
2. Aim between the structural markers, centering the reticle along the horizontal alignment line.
3. Execute a jump throw using Spacebar and LMB simultaneously.
4. The smoke arcs over the B site architecture and lands flush in the CT spawn choke point.

When paired together, the Coffins smoke and the CT spawn smoke completely seal off B site, allowing Terrorist pushers to isolate players holding on the actual bombsite platform.

Bonus B Site Defensive Ledge

When defending against incoming pushes on B site, players can jump onto an unexpected elevated ledge on the site structures. Attackers clearing site corners typically check ground-level default positions first, leaving players on this elevated perch at an angle advantage against rushing enemies.

A Site Utility Lineups

Attacking the A bombsite requires neutralizing long-range rifle angles from Library, Moto, and Long.

1. The A Site Red Smoke (Run-Throw)

Red smoke eliminates mid-range vision and provides safe passage across open lanes:

1. Position your character in the center of the staging alignment line.
2. Center your reticle on the middle of the white surface texture.
3. Begin running forward using W.
4. Release the grenade the moment your model reaches the edge of the building line.
5. The smoke blooms consistently across the Red path, providing reliable cover without clipping errors.

2. The Moto and Library Smoke (Short Push)

Pushing toward A site through Short leaves players vulnerable to snipers holding from Library and Moto. This lineup blocks that rotation route:

1. Stand flush against the alignment wall before the Short entrance.
2. Aim between the structural markers on the building facade, centering your reticle directly between them.
3. Perform a standing left-click release.
4. The smoke blooms directly in the choke between Moto and Library. This allows attacking players to clear the site and Pit without being picked off from the CT rotation route.

3. The Long Jump-Throw Smoke

To isolate the bombsite from Long defenders without exposing yourself to long-range duels:

1. Take position at the staging marker before entering the open lane.
2. Align your crosshair with the upper architectural reference point.
3. Perform a forward jump throw.
4. The smoke lands across the Long corridor, cutting off sightlines completely and allowing your team to rotate toward the bombsite unpunished.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which factions play on de_inferno in Counter Blox?

According to official game updates, the Separatists represent the Terrorist faction, while the SAS represent the Counter-Terrorist faction on Inferno.

Why do some jump throws miss when entering Banana?

If you jump directly under the archway near the entrance of Banana, your character model collides with the overhead ceiling geometry, canceling your jump momentum. You must take one step forward past the low overhang before jumping to ensure the smoke reaches its target.

Can Counter-Terrorists purchase Molotovs on Inferno?

In Counter Blox, the Molotov is listed specifically under Terrorist weapons for $400, while the Counter-Terrorists have access to the HE Grenade for $600.
