Cache is one of those maps that never really dies. It’s been out of the Active Duty pool since 2019, but players still love it. Whether you’re grinding in casuals, FACEIT or community servers, knowing Cache callouts can seriously improve your game. If you’ve ever played with randoms who call out “He's over there!”, you know how frustrating bad communication can be.

The map is balanced for both sides, but mid control is everything. If your team can’t hold Mid, you’re going to have a rough time. Unlike more straightforward maps like Dust 2 or Mirage, Cache forces you to coordinate rotations and utility properly. Let's break down every Cache callout in CS2, covering both CT and T sides, so you can play (or at least give calls) like a pro.

CT-Side Callouts – Defensive Positions

If you're playing Counter-Terrorist (CT), you’ll need to hold angles, stop rushes and retake sites when needed. Knowing where your teammates are makes it easier to adjust and reposition. Here’s a breakdown of important CT-side callouts.

A Site & Surroundings

A Site is one of the most contested areas on the map, especially since T executes often rely on Squeaky and A Main pushes.

Mid Control

Mid is the most important part of Cache. Controlling mid means faster rotates and more map pressure. If CTs lose mid, retaking bomb sites becomes much harder.

B Site & Surroundings

B Site is smaller than A, but it has more vertical elements like Heaven and Rafters. Retaking B is difficult, so holding it properly is crucial.

T-Side Callouts – Attacking Positions

If you're playing Terrorist (T), knowing callouts helps coordinate site executes, clear defensive angles, and secure post-plants.

Starting Points & Rotations

• T Spawn: Where Ts start the round.
• T Truck: A truck near T Spawn, sometimes used for boosts.
• T Boxes: Boxes outside B Halls, good for cover.

A-Site Pushes

• A Long: The route from T Spawn to A, leading to Squeaky and A Main.
• Squeaky: A high-risk, high-reward entrance.
• A Main: The main T entry point to A, crucial for execution.
• Quad: A common hiding spot for CTs on A.
• Forklift: CTs hold this to stop A Main rushes.

Mid Control for Ts

• Boost: Used for early Mid control.
• White Box: Where CTs often hold Mid.
• Highway: Lets Ts split A from Mid.
• Sandbags: A CT off-angle to clear.

B-Site Execution

• B Halls: Leads from T Spawn to B Main.
• B Main: The main entry point for Ts.
• Checkers: A must-clear spot before hitting B.
• New Box: CTs hide here often.
• Headshot: Crouch spot near Heaven.
• Default Plant: The best plant spot for Ts.

Using Callouts Properly

Just knowing the names isn’t enough. If you're mumbling random spots or giving half-baked info, you're not helping your team. Callouts need to be quick, clear and to the point so your squad knows exactly what’s going on.

1. Be clear and precise – No one wants to hear “There’s a guy near A.” Near where? Behind site? Balcony? Be specific. Say “One Forklift” or “Enemy Quad” and your teammates will actually know what to do.
2. Call numbers – If you spot two enemies, don’t just say “Enemy Mid.” Call “Two Mid” so your team knows they need backup or should rotate. Precision wins games.
3. Give rotation info – If you see CTs moving across the map, let your team know. “CTs rotated from A to B” can be the difference between a successful execution and walking into a stacked bomb site.
4. Use utility callouts – If you’re throwing a molly, smoke, or flash, tell your team. “Molly Forklift” warns them so they don’t rush in and burn alive. “Smoking Z” means they can push Mid safely.

The goal is to make your team’s life easier. If your callouts are clear and fast, you’ll win more fights, make better plays, and stop your teammates from raging about bad info. While callouts are important, maintaining your aim also plays a crucial role in turning the tide in the game. Make sure to check out Tips to Improve Your Rifling.
