Learn about flashbangs in Counter-Strike: Source, including their effects, cost ($200), and how to counter them. Carry up to two at once.

Cost: $200

Shortcut: B-6-3

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Anyone who sees a flashbang detonate will have their screen whitewashed for a few seconds and go deaf momentarily.
  2. 2
    Blinded players tend to spray their weapons while blinded, so take care when rushing in after one detonates.
Tips
  • A common counter tactic to avoid the blinding effect is to turn your back to the flashbang as it detonates.
  • In competitive play, you can purchase and carry two flashbangs at once.
