In the ever-evolving tactical landscape of Valorant, the rugged veteran Brimstone remains a cornerstone for teams seeking calculated, decisive assaults. Unlike his fellow Controllers, Brimstone possesses the unique capability to deploy all three of his smokes simultaneously, making him the quintessential agent for orchestrating a swift and overwhelming site takeover. His arm-mounted tablet is his command center, allowing him to dictate the flow of battle from a distance. However, this power comes with a geographical limitation; his smoke range does not span the entire map like Omen's or Astra's. Therefore, a Brimstone player's positioning is paramount, ensuring his strategic smokes land precisely where they can choke enemy sightlines and pave the way for victory. His arsenal, bolstered by the team-speed-boosting Stim Beacon and the area-denying Molotov, makes him a formidable force in turning the tide of any round.

🔥 10. Attacking A Site From Short

Focusing an assault from Short is a classic tactic to quickly overwhelm defenders on A site. This approach is particularly potent during pistol or eco rounds, where forcing close-quarters combat is advantageous. However, when your team is equipped with superior weaponry and utility, diversifying your approach to gain broader site control is often wiser. The key smoke placements for this focused rush are:

• One smoke at the entrance of Lamps.

• One smoke on the right edge of Truck.

• The final smoke placed between Triple Stack and the Shower wall.

This configuration creates a contained pocket, allowing your team to flood onto the site while minimizing exposure from common defensive angles.

🚿 9. Attacking A Site From Shower

Similar to the Short push, an attack from Shower is designed to compress the defenders' space, forcing them into close-range engagements to contest the Spike plant. This setup sacrifices total site control for security in a small foothold, making it ideal after you've secured a numerical advantage. Combining these smokes with a Sage Wall can virtually guarantee a successful plant. Execute this by dropping:

• Two smokes to cover Spawn and Heaven.

• A final smoke to block vision from Short and Lamps.

⚔️ 8. Split Attacking A Site

A coordinated split attack from both Short and Shower divides defender attention and grants your team superior site dominance. This strategy demands economic investment for rifles and full utility, as well as precise timing to prevent teammates from being picked off by long-range weapons like the Operator. The smoke placement must be synchronized with the dual push:

• A smoke to obscure Heaven.

• A smoke to block the Defender Spawn entrance.

• A smoke at the entrance of Lamps.

🏰 7. Attacking A With Full Site Control

Securing an early pick gives your team immense flexibility. With defenders on the back foot, your smokes should aim to isolate the site and delay rotations. The core setup involves:

• One smoke on Heaven.

• One smoke at the Defender Spawn entrance.

The third smoke becomes a tactical choice: you can reinforce already smoked areas or use it to cover potential flanks from Short.

🎯 6. Attacking B Site

Whether executing a single-lane or split push onto B, the smoke strategy remains consistent. Due to the site's shorter sightlines, creating a smoke pocket is less effective than on A. Instead, focus on sealing off key entries:

• One smoke at the entrance of Elbow.

• One smoke in Defender Spawn.

Crucially, avoid smoking Tube, as this provides perfect cover for defenders wielding shotguns. Hold the third smoke to delay enemy retakes.

🛡️ 5. Standard Defense on A Site

As the round begins, attackers can approach from Shower and Short. This versatile defensive setup covers both avenues without ceding ground on site. Place smokes deep to prevent attackers from using them as cover to clear corners:

• A smoke at the edge of the A Teleporter.

• A smoke at the entrance of Shower.

The remaining smoke is a valuable asset for stalling pushes or aiding in a retake.

⚡ 4. Aggressive Defense on A Site

Feeling bold? An aggressive defense aims to seize map control from attackers. By smoking farther forward, you force the enemy to expend more time and utility to reclaim space.

• Place one smoke on the common attacker angle outside Shower.

• Place another smoke deep into Short, splitting the path.

Combined with Brimstone's Molotov, this allows your team to aggressively push one side of Short while denying the other.

🛡️ 3. Standard Defense on B Site

The defensive philosophy for B mirrors that of A: completely block the primary entry points to slow the assault.

• One smoke at the edge of Hookah, exposing any attacker who drops down.

• One smoke blocking the Garden connector to Long.

Always communicate with your team if you hear the B Teleporter, signaling a potential rotation.

⚡ 2. Aggressive Defense on B Site

Taking map control as a defender is a powerful strategy. Aggressive smokes on B constrict attacker movement and reduce their unpredictable options.

• Place one smoke at the entrance of Long.

• Place another at B Link.

Crucial coordination with a teammate is needed when pushing out to ensure you have backup utility and trade potential.

💥 1. Bonus: Hyper-Aggressive Defense on B Long

This unconventional, one-off strategy can completely surprise an attacking team. It aims to seal off the map's right side and execute a lightning-fast flank.

• Immediately drop two smokes: one to block Attacker Spawn near Fountain and another at the B Short connector.

• Immediately activate your Stim Beacon and, with a teammate, aggressively push down Long to seize Fountain.

From this forward position, you force enemies to deal with your smokes or risk a devastating flank, often securing early-round advantage.
