A B-site retake on Inferno usually follows a predictable shape: banana, construction, and the plant. These positions are classic spots where CTs tend to hold during a retake, so knowing how to approach them can give attackers a better chance of success.
This guide covers the basics of B-site retakes, including positioning and utility use, without relying on measured stats or pro setups. It's all about the flow and common scenarios you’ll face in live games.
B-site Retake Positions
| Position | Location | Utility Ideas |
|---|---|---|
| Banana | B corner, behind the banana crate | Smoke or flash to block a peek or create a rotation delay |
| Construction | On the construction platform near B | Molotov or fire to force a pop or delay a push |
| Default Plant | Under the plant, near the B-site crate | Incendiary or smoke to hold the line and prevent a CT pop |
| Tunnel | In the tunnel behind B | Flash or smoke for a rotation trick or to block a peek from CTs |
These positions are often used depending on how the CTs rotate and set up.
How to Approach a B-site Retake
Retake Flow on B-site
01
Peek banana
If banana is empty, hold it to force the CTs to rotate or commit.
02
Peek construction
If construction is hot, throw a smoke or molotov to delay the CTs.
03
Peek plant
If plant is empty, push it quickly to deny a CT pop and force a decision.
04
Peek tunnel
If the tunnel is holding, a flash or smoke can give a free pop to the team.
Retakes on Inferno’s B-site are often high-pressure and fast-paced. CTs will rotate in predictable ways, and attackers need to adapt to those rotations while managing utility and positioning.

What's the best utility to use at banana?+
A smoke or flash is best for covering a pop or forcing a rotation delay.
Can I skip construction and go straight for the plant?+
Yes, but it’s risky. CTs often pop from construction, so it’s safer to clear it first.
What if the CTs are holding the tunnel?+
A flash or smoke can give you a free pop. If not, you may need to rotate around it or push with a teammate.
How do I know when to push the plant?+
If the CTs are holding a heavy banana and construction is clear, pushing the plant is a good way to avoid the holdup.
