All CS2 Nuke Callouts Explained: Best Calls Guide For 2025

Nuke is undoubtedly among the most iconic Counter-Strike maps of all time. It has been a series staple as far back as CS 1.6, despite spending various spells in and out of the Active Duty map pool. Nuke has also gone through substantial changes across its various iterations, although the current version has remained the same for a while now.

This means that the CS2 Nuke callouts have gone through their fair share of changes over the years, although they’re pretty settled right now. It’s a map with its share of experts, so you’ll need to be pretty clued in on the up-to-date Nuke calls to have a chance at being successful.
