The entry fragger is the player who enters the site first. Their job is to get the opening kill, or at least reveal enemy positions for a trade.

📌 The main job

The entry does not have to survive. If they die but a teammate trades them right away and the team takes the site, they did their job.

🔧 Preparing the entry

  • Know the standard defensive positions on the site.

  • Agree in advance who flashes for you and when.

  • Pre-aim the most likely angle.

⚡ The entry itself

  • Go in right after the flash — while the enemy is blind.

  • Clear angles one at a time instead of trying to watch everything.

  • Move fast but stop before shooting.

  • A wide swing beats a slow edge peek.

  • Call what you see, even if you die.

  • A teammate should be right behind you to trade.

⚠️ Mistakes

  • Entering without flashes and without a teammate behind you.

  • Stopping in a doorway — a stationary target is easy to hit.
