Mission 14 - Canals - Lead in the Water CS GO Guide and Tips

Last update: 19 June 2017

The mission's objective is to score 20 kills using AWP. AWP is a sniper rifle, so it is powerful and has excellent zoom. However, after you take a shot, you have to load it over again, so it will take some time, before you can fire another round. Below, 2 interesting spots to set an ambush have been presented.

The wall on the right provides excellent cover. From here, you can view opponents that may appear between the pillars. After you lean left, you have an overview of the bomb deployment spot.

Possibly the best spot on the map. The building provides very good cover and you can cover as many as 3 passages from here. The first one is on the left, right behind the tables. Another one is under the arch of the white building, and the last one is on the right. After you back up a little, you will find a platform from which you can fire in the direction shown in the previous screenshot.

Remaining important information

1. AWP is a costly weapon, so several rounds must pass before you can afford it. By then, opponents will have gotten stronger, so you have to watch out and not lose the newly-purchased weapon.
2. If the game drags on, an opponent with heavy suit may appear in a wave. It is difficult to eliminate him, so it is best to keep your distance from him - fire several rounds and retreat into the next position. This way, you will eliminate the threat without sustaining too much damage.
3. Opponents strafe to the sides, so you may have problems hitting them, especially with double zoom active. A single zoom works much better on this map.
4. Opponents often use all sorts of grenades.
5. Double zoom considerably limits your field of vision.
6. You can fire the weapon without zooming in, e.g. when the opponent is right next to you, but you will have to take a "blind shot", because in the regular mode, the weapon does not have iron sights. Sometimes, it is better to finish off an opponent with a regular pistol than risk losing the weapon and the round.
7. When opponents attack in waves, fire a single shot and take cover. You will not manage to kill all of the opponents while standing out in the open.
