Learn how to use the Decoy Grenade in Counter-Strike: Source, costing $50, to fool enemies and draw attention.

Cost: $50

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When thrown, the Decoy Grenade emits gunfire sounds that resemble your most powerful weapon.
  2. 2
    It appears as a hostile on the enemy radar (a display showing enemy and ally positions).
  3. 3
    After a short duration, the grenade explodes harmlessly, and its blip disappears from the radar.
Tips
  • Use the Decoy Grenade to draw enemy attention to a specific area of the map.
  • Employ it to make the enemy believe your team is larger than it actually is.
  • Throw the decoy like a flashbang (a grenade that temporarily blinds enemies). Decoys have red stripes, while flashbangs have blue stripes. This visual similarity can fool enemies into looking away from nothing, creating an opportunity for an easy kill.
