How to Take and Hold Banana on Inferno in CS:GO, According to ChatGPT

Inferno is one of the most popular Counter-Strike maps of all time, let alone a true first-person shooter classic.

Banana, the long alley players have to try and take (or hold), is the key choke point leading to the B bombsite. Controlling Banana, either as a Terrorist or Counter-Terrorist, is imperative to winning rounds consistently. Getting control on T-side means putting pressure on that site, either opening up the chance to execute and take B, or to draw rotations away from A to execute through mid and apartments.

As players begin to either jump into Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for the first time, or prepare for Counter-Strike 2 this summer, we wondered if ChatGPT, the popular AI chatbot, could recommend viable tips and helpful tricks for taking and holding Banana in CS:GO.

How to Hold Banana on Inferno in CS:GO, According to ChatGPT

Here's what ChatGPT recommends when prompted: "How do you hold Banana on Inferno in CS:GO?"

  1. Position yourself at the beginning of Banana, near the sandbags or the car. This will give you an early warning of any enemy movement.
  2. Use utility to delay the enemy push, such as incendiary grenades, smoke grenades, or flashbangs. This will slow down the enemy's progress and allow you to fall back if necessary.
  3. Work with your teammates to hold Banana. One player can watch from the sandbags while another watches from the car or the entrance to the bombsite. You can also use a player to play more passively in the site, while the other two hold Banana.
  4. Be prepared to fall back if necessary. If the enemy team pushes too aggressively, it's better to retreat to the bombsite and defend it from there.
  5. Communicate with your teammates and call out any enemy movements you see or hear. This will help your team coordinate their defense and respond to any threats.

Not bad, except ChatGPT clearly doesn't respect the HE stack or deep mollies that can end a push before it begins. But, overall, these are helpful tips.

Here's what ChatGPT recommends when prompted: "How do you take Banana on Inferno in CS:GO?"

  1. Use utility to clear out any defensive positions. Smoke off key areas like CT spawn or car, and use flashbangs to blind any defenders.
  2. Push forward as a team, using cover and utility to avoid enemy fire. Move quickly, as delaying too long will give the CTs time to rotate and set up a defense.
  3. Keep an eye on the flanks. The CTs may try to wrap around your team and attack from behind, so have one or two players watch the side alleys.
  4. Use molotovs to clear out any remaining defenders, especially in close-quarters areas like the sandbags.
  5. Once you've taken control of Banana, be prepared to hold off any counterattacks from the CTs. Set up defensive positions and use utility to prevent the CTs from retaking the area.
  6. Once you've secured Banana, you can use it as a staging area to attack the B bombsite, or as a way to split the CT defense and attack A.

Also some good, helpful tips for newer players. But, can ChatGPT even tell you the best flashes to throw to take Banana as a T? Of course it can...

Prompt: What are good flashbangs to throw to take Banana in CS:GO?

  1. CT Spawn Flash - This is a popular flashbang to throw to blind any defenders playing at CT Spawn. Stand at the top of T-Stairs and aim towards the top of the roof above CT Spawn. Then, throw the flashbang and push forward as a team.
  2. Sandbags Flash - This flashbang is effective for blinding any defenders playing at Sandbags. Stand behind the wooden fence at the top of Banana and aim your crosshair at the top of the wall next to Sandbags. Then, throw the flashbang and push forward as a team.
  3. Car Flash - This flashbang is useful for blinding any defenders playing at the Car position. Stand at the top of T-Stairs and aim your crosshair at the top of the wall above the Car. Then, throw the flashbang and push forward as a team.
  4. Deep Banana Flash - This flashbang is effective for blinding any defenders playing further down Banana. Stand at the top of T-Stairs and aim towards the sky. Then, throw the flashbang high into the air so that it lands further down Banana.

Those are some good standard flashes, and ChatGPT can even tell you how to throw those flashes!

Prompt: Can you tell me how to throw those flashes you listed?

  1. CT Spawn Flash - Stand at the top of T-Stairs and aim at the top of the roof above CT Spawn. Hold down the left mouse button to charge the flashbang and then release it to throw it.
  2. Sandbags Flash - Stand behind the wooden fence at the top of Banana and aim your crosshair at the top of the wall next to Sandbags. Hold down the left mouse button to charge the flashbang and then release it to throw it.
  3. Car Flash - Stand at the top of T-Stairs and aim your crosshair at the top of the wall above the Car. Hold down the left mouse button to charge the flashbang and then release it to throw it.
  4. Deep Banana Flash - Stand at the top of T-Stairs and aim towards the sky. Then, hold down the left mouse button to charge the flashbang and throw it high into the air so that it lands further down Banana.

Text explanations are great, but actually getting into the server and testing it out for yourself is the best way to make sure the flashbangs you're throwing are executed correctly. There's nothing worse than throwing a flashbang, telling your teammates you've flashed and area, and in fact the enemy is not blind and your teammates have a completely white screen as they get taken down trying to take control of Banana.

Try messing around with ChatGPT for other CS:GO scenarios to see how it might help you climb the MM ladder and prepare for the highly anticipated Counter-Strike 2.
