Learn the passive support role in Counter-Strike: Source, focusing on grenade usage and assisting the entry fragger to secure rounds.

The support gunner in Counter-Strike: Source is a more passive player on the team. Their job is twofold: throw grenades to set up plays or secure kills, and follow the entry fragger when taking a site to help them open it up. If the entry fragger dies, it becomes the support's job to repeek right after and find the kill. Although your KDA (kills/deaths/assists) will likely be lower than your teammates, having a good, solid support player will help secure rounds that would have been lost otherwise.

Try playing a support role in Counter-Strike: Source if:

  • You like having intel (information) before you push a position.
  • You have experience with grenades and know what to throw when.
  • Your team doesn't know what you're doing until they see your round-winning smoke (a type of grenade that creates a temporary cloud of smoke).
