Ancient | Guides for utilities, boosts and spawn points

In this submission, I bring you a collection of guides for smokes, flashes, molotovs/incendiaries, and grenades for Ancient, which also includes boost spots and spawn points with exact coordinates.

In this guide, you will find:

• CT Spawn Points: 5
  
• T Spawn Points: 5
  
• Boost Points: 7
  
• Smoke Points: 53
  
• Flash Points: 22
  
• Molotov Points: 10
  
• Incendiary Points: 4
  
• HE Points: 2
  
• Decoy Points: 0

Some utilities may be compatible with others.

The goal of this work is to compile, simplify, and facilitate all the guides for each available official map, which will be constantly updated based on map changes or community feedback.

1. Subscribe and open the game.
   
2. Go to Play, Practice and Competitive or Casual.
   
3. Select the map Ancient and enable "Use map guide".
   
4. Select the option below that says "workshop: Ancient | Guides for utilities, boost and spawn points".

Throughout the map, you’ll find guide points in 5 different colors: green (smokes), yellow (flashbang), orange (incendiary/molotov), purple (HE), and blue (boosts). Additionally, you may find two variants of the blue and orange at spawn points, representing the respective factions.
Standing on each of the utility guides will show a yellow circle (crosshair positioning spot) and a text indicating how to throw the utility.

Here’s a brief description of each instruction:

• M1 = left-click
  
• M2 = right-click
  
• Regular-Throw = throw the utility normally
  
• Jump-Throw = throw the utility while jumping (throw it before reaching the jump's peak)
  
• Step = press "W"
  
• Run = hold "W"
  
• Walk = hold "W+Shift"
  
• Crouch = hold "Ctrl"

NOTE: The utility throw combined with actions like stepping, running, or walking may vary. Unfortunately, due to the node limit (used to create these utility points), I couldn’t add a reference for the exact release spot, so you’ll need to practice and find the exact timing until the node limit is expanded.


For better practice, I bring you a command to toggle the map guides on and off. It is compatible with all workshop map guides. To do this, open your autoexec and paste the following commands:

alias "guidepractice" "guidepracticeoff"
alias "guidepracticeoff" "annotation_clear; alias guidepractice guidepracticeon"
alias "guidepracticeon" "annotation_reload; alias guidepractice guidepracticeoff"
bind "j" "guidepractice"

Change the letter "j" to any letter you have available.

Any suggestions are welcome, although there's currently a limit of 300 nodes per map. Until that limit is increased, I’ll keep refining and prioritizing the most essential utilities for gameplay.

All credit goes to the Counter-Strike 2 community for discovering these guides.
