Overpass in CS2 is filled with broken new angles your opponents will never suspect

This will surely change the meta.

Valve’s Overpass CS2 revamp has brought in a series of cosmetic changes which floored the community, including new angles only now being discovered days later. Players dove into practice servers yesterday and tried to find new “jump spot” positions all over the map—and there are more than a few.

CS2 gamers have figured out ways to reach fuse boxes and ledges throughout Overpass, and they’re definitely worth learning. Positions like Short B and A head now have self-boost jumps, providing jump-spot angles or even complete map vision.

One thing is clear; if Valve has no plan to tweak these angles (shared on Reddit early on July 19), the Overpass meta will change dramatically.

Through these newly-discovered CS2-specific boosts, players can now see the entirety of Heaven as well as parts of Graffiti towards the B-site by jumping onto the fuse box on the wall at Short.

Elsewhere, Overpass’ B-site seems to be affected the most by these new positions. Check out all the angles in the video below.

One spot requires a teammate but can be a game-changing angle that cuts off several tough-to-deal-with positions toward the B-site. To complete the boost, one player stands atop sandbags at Short-B, and the other runs off the other player’s head to reach the lights on one of the Short walls. This means players can see all of Connector entrance, parts of Graffiti, Heaven, and a large portion of B-site. There are three new positions in this area alone.

Despite being believed to be inaccessible, CS2 players have also figured out how to get on top of Long-A’s self-boost, which is a play that was used frequently throughout CS:GO. They’ve also found a way to self-boost onto the notorious Olof boost position which sent ripples through the CS:GO scene years ago.

The only drawback to these is your movement has to be precise. Some of these positions require B-hops to access but can be done consistently with practice.
