Dust 2 b window is the opening in the wall between CT Mid and B site. CSDB describes it as a window with sightlines to CT Mid and a path you can jump through. For CTs it is a support angle and a rotation route. For Ts it is the angle that ruins a B take if it is left open.
This guide covers how each side uses the window and how to clear it. For the full set of names, see our Dust 2 callouts.
Where is B Window on Dust 2?
Stand on B site and look toward CT Mid. The window sits in that wall, between B Doors and the back of the site. On the other side is CT Mid, with Scaffolding opposite it. CSDB lists Scaffolding as a waiting spot.
Nearby B site callouts
- B Doors: the main passage between B site and CT Mid.
- Big Box and Double Stack: boxes on site that give cover.
- B Plat and Back Plat: raised and hidden areas at the back of site.
- Car, Closet and Close: spots near the tunnels exit.
How do CTs use B Window?
The window gives CTs three options.
- A support angle. A CT can look through the window from CT Mid onto parts of B site. This helps a teammate on site without standing in the line of the tunnels exit.
- A rotation route. Players can jump through the window into B. That is faster than walking round through B Doors in some situations.
- A retake angle. CSDB notes retakes work best coming from Window and Doors together. Two entry points split the Ts' attention.
Our Dust 2 B retake guide covers that last point in detail.
Why do Ts smoke the window?
When Ts hit B through the tunnels, they face CTs on site and help from CT Mid. A smoke on the window cuts that help off. CSDB notes that a fast B hit needs a Window or Doors smoke plus flashes over the tunnels exit.
- It stops CTs in CT Mid from shooting onto site.
- It slows CTs rotating through the window.
- It lets Ts plant without one extra angle to watch.
Learn where common B grenades land in Dust 2 smokes. Exact lineups should be practised with a lineup tool or video in a private server, since small map changes can break them.
How to clear Dust 2 b window
If the window is not smoked, a T on B must treat it as a live angle. Check it once the close spots are clear.
- Clear Close, Car and the near boxes first. They are within a few metres of the tunnels exit.
- Look at the window from cover, such as a box, so you only show a small part of your body.
- Watch for CTs jumping through during the plant.
After the plant, a smoke or molotov on the window delays a CT retake from that side. Molotov basics are in our molotov guide.
When should CTs play the window?
| Situation | Window play |
|---|---|
| Ts show early B pressure | Support the B player through the window from CT Mid |
| Ts are on A | Rotate through B Doors or CT Mid instead |
| B is lost | Hold the window as one half of a two-sided retake |
The window player should always have a way out. If a smoke lands on the window, move to B Doors or fall back. Do not wait in the smoke.
Common mistakes
- Ts planting B without smoking or checking the window.
- CTs jumping through the window into several Ts.
- Holding the window while the doors are left open.
- Retaking B from one side only.
Sources and checks
Callout names and the current Active Duty status of Dust 2 were checked on 1 November 2026 against CSDB Dust 2 callouts and the CSDB Dust 2 map page. Valve tweaks map geometry in patches, so if a spot plays differently after an update, trust what you see in a private server over any written guide.
Frequently asked questions
Can you jump through B Window on Dust 2?
Yes. CSDB lists it as a jump-through path between CT Mid and B site, which CTs often use for rotations and retakes.
Why do Ts smoke B Window?
It blocks CT support from CT Mid onto B site and slows rotations, making it easier to take the site and plant.
What is opposite B Window?
Scaffolding, a construction structure in CT Mid that players use as a waiting spot.
