All CS2 Vertigo Callouts Explained: Best Calls Guide For 2025

Vertigo. You either love it or you hate it, but you can’t deny that it makes you feel something. The controversial CS2 map was thrown out of Active Duty in January 2025, following numerous attempts by Valve to fix it via layout changes to no avail. But it will be back. You know it. I know it. We don’t know when, but Vertigo will be part of Active Duty again at some point in the future. That means it’s important not to let your knowledge of the CS2 Vertigo callouts slacken. You never know when it’ll return, and you won’t want to be caught off guard. The Vertiglobals are out there, and believe me, they know the Vertigo callouts.

Vertigo CS2 Callouts Guide

Below, our CS2 Vertigo callouts guide has all the information you need to give the correct calls to your teammates on one of Counter-Strike’s most vertical maps. Because Vertigo features two levels stacked on top of each other, our Vertigo callouts guide is even separated into Upper and Lower.
