Overpass Callouts in CS2: Every Position and What It Is For (2026)

This guide explains 29 Overpass callouts in CS2: the 26 place names the game uses for the map and three more that players use every round (CT Spawn, Truck and Pillar). They are grouped into six areas: T Spawn with Alley and Tunnels, the park with Fountain and Playground, A site with CT Spawn, Connector with the CT routes under A, the Canal and Pipe on the way to B, and B site itself. For each callout you get where it is, what it is for and which side usually holds it. Skin prices in this post come from SkinsMonkey item pages and were checked on November 5, 2026.

First, the map pool question. Overpass is not in the Active Duty map pool anymore. Valve removed it on July 8, 2026, when Premier Season Five began, and Cache took its place. That means you cannot play Overpass in Premier or in the official Valve tournament pool. The same Valve notes did not remove Overpass from Competitive, Casual or Deathmatch, so you can still pick it in Competitive. As of November 5, 2026 the Active Duty pool is Ancient, Anubis, Cache, Dust II, Inferno, Mirage and Nuke.

High park, low canals: how Overpass is laid out in CS2

Overpass is set in a park and a canal in Berlin, Germany. The map has height. A site and the park are on the upper level, while B site and the canals are at the bottom of the map. Ts start in the bottom right corner. CTs start next to A site at the top, so A is the close site for CTs and B is the far one.

Ts have two ways to A. The long one goes left through Fountain and Upper Park, which most players call Long A. The shorter one goes up the stairs of Lower Park. For B, Ts go right through Alley into the Canal, or they go up through Tunnels and Connector and come out at the Water below B. CTs rotate from A to B through Back of A, Stairs and Under A, and the round on Overpass is often decided by how fast that rotation is.

Overpass has left and rejoined the map pool more than once. These are the dates that matter:

1. Dec 18, 2013 Overpass is added in the Winter Offensive update.
2. Apr 25, 2024 Dust II replaces Overpass in Active Duty.
3. Nov 13, 2024 Valve updates the canals and B site in CS2.
4. Jul 15, 2025 Overpass returns to Active Duty, Anubis leaves.
5. Jul 8, 2026 Cache replaces Overpass in Active Duty.

In CS2 Valve kept working on Overpass after each of these dates. The November 13, 2024 update changed the look of the canals and B site and reworked how players drop down from Heaven. In July 2025 Valve added breakable glass to the B doors, changed the angle of the truck on A site and moved up a wall behind the dumpster by the A stairs. The last Overpass fix in the patch notes is from February 2026, when Valve fixed the Party balloons. The names below describe the map as it is after those changes.

Overpass on your loadout: the Overpass 2024 Collection and the original

Overpass has two skin collections. The Overpass 2024 Collection came with the Armory on October 2, 2024 and has 16 skins themed around the graffiti of the park. Its only Covert skin is the AK-47 | B the Monster, and the Classified skins are the AWP | Crakow! and the Zeus x27 | Dragon Snore. The original Overpass Collection is from 2014 and has 15 skins. Its top skin is the Classified M4A1-S | Master Piece, followed by the Restricted USP-S | Road Rash and AWP | Pink DDPAT. On November 5, 2026 the AK-47 | B the Monster started at $63.50 on SkinsMonkey and the M4A1-S | Master Piece started at $79.25.

Both collections have their own pages on SkinsMonkey with every skin and wear: The Overpass 2024 Collection and The Overpass Collection. Souvenir versions come from Major Souvenir Packages of matches played on Overpass, up to the Budapest 2025 Major. Our post about CS2 collections shows where they fit in the full list. You can trade for any of these skins on SkinsMonkey.

What Is The Active Duty Map Pool?

T Spawn, Alley and Tunnels: where every T round starts

T Spawn is the long, narrow area in the bottom right corner. Ts leave it in two directions. T Stairs and Alley lead up the right side of the map to the Canal and B. Tunnels lead left, toward Fountain on the A side and up toward Connector. Side Alley is a small dead end on the right next to Alley.

Callout	Where it is	Who uses it and why
T Spawn	The Terrorist start in the bottom right corner of the map.	Ts buy here and split toward A or B.
T Stairs	The stairs at the top of T Spawn, toward Alley.	The first step of the T route to B through the Canal.
Alley	The path on the right side from T Stairs up to the Canal.	The T route to B. CTs who go out early into the Canal can meet Ts here.
Side Alley	The small area on the right of Alley, at the edge of the map.	A spot where a T can wait while the team goes past.
Tunnels	The indoor passage from T Spawn to the left, toward Fountain and Connector.	The T route to the park and to Connector. Ts often lurk here.

A good early call says which way the Ts left spawn. “Two Alley” warns the CTs on B, while “three Tunnels” can still mean A or Connector.

Fountain, Playground and the park: the long way to A

The left half of Overpass is a park on the upper level. Ts arrive at Fountain from Tunnels. From there Upper Park runs along the left edge of the map up to A site, and Lower Park leads up a set of stairs to the bottom of A. Restroom, the small building between the two, is what most players call Toilets.

Callout	Where it is	Who uses it and why
Fountain	The open square with the round fountain, at the bottom of the park.	Ts gather here before an A hit. CTs throw grenades into it from above.
Playground	The area below Fountain, at the bottom left of the map.	A T route into the park. It is quiet, so lurkers use it.
Upper Park	The long path on the left edge of the map, from Fountain up to A. Players call it Long A.	The long T route to A. CTs hold the end of it from the site.
Restroom	The small building between Upper Park and Lower Park. Players call it Toilets.	A link between the two park routes. Ts use it to switch paths.
Lower Park	The stairs and the path from the park up to the bottom of A site.	The shorter T route to A. It meets Connector at the bottom.

Overpass has many second names in the park. Players say Long A more often than Upper Park and Toilets more often than Restroom, and Valve itself uses player names such as Party in its patch notes. Agree with your team on one name for each spot.

A site, CT Spawn and Back of A

A site is at the top of the map, at the end of both park routes. CTs spawn right next to it, so they reach A first in every round. The Truck in the middle of the site is the main cover. Behind the site, Back of A, Lobby and Storage Room are indoor rooms, and Stairs lead from Back of A down toward Under A and the way to B.

Callout	Where it is	Who uses it and why
A Site	The bombsite at the top of the map, where Upper Park and Lower Park end.	Ts plant here. CTs hold it from close range because their spawn is next to it.
CT Spawn	The CT start, right next to A site.	CTs split from here: most stay on A, the rest go down to B.
Truck	The wrecked truck in the middle of A site. Players use the name, the radar does not show it.	The main cover on the site. Valve changed its angle in July 2025.
Back of A	The indoor area behind the site, on the right.	A CT position and the start of the rotation to B.
Pit	A small spot between Back of A and the site.	A close corner for a CT who plays off the site.
Stairs	The stairs from Back of A down to the lower level.	The CT route from A to Under A and B.
Lobby	The room at the top left, behind the site.	A CT route to the back of the site.
Storage Room	The room at the very top of the map, above Lobby.	A quiet CT spot. Ts rarely get this far.

Because CTs spawn on A, a T hit on A has to be fast or very well prepared with grenades. Calls should name the T route: “Long” means Upper Park and “Lower Park” means the stairs from the middle.

Connector, Walkway and Under A: the link between the sites

The middle of Overpass connects the high A side with the low B side. Connector is a set of stairs from the bottom of Lower Park down to Walkway and the Water. Under A is the low passage below A site that CTs use to reach B, and Sniper’s Nest is a raised spot between A and B.

Callout	Where it is	Who uses it and why
Connector	The stairs between the bottom of Lower Park and the lower level.	The fastest way between the two sites. Both sides fight for it.
Walkway	The path from Under A down toward the Water and B.	A CT route to B and a T route from Connector toward A.
Under A	The low passage under A site.	The CT rotation from A to B. Ts who get here cut it.
Sniper’s Nest	The raised spot between Under A and B site.	A CT position that looks over the B side.

A T in Connector can go to either site, so the call that helps most is the direction: “Connector up” means A through Lower Park, “Connector down” means the Water and B.

Canal, Pipe and Water: the low routes to B

B is reached through the canals at the bottom of the map. The Canal runs along the right edge, from Alley up to B. Pipe is a narrow tunnel that joins the Canal with the Water area on the left. The Water below B is where the routes from Connector and Pipe meet.

Callout	Where it is	Who uses it and why
Canal	The water channel on the right edge, from Alley up to B site.	The main T route to B. Splashing gives you away.
Pipe	The narrow tunnel between the Canal and the Water.	A T route to the Water. CTs listen for it.
Water	The low wet area below B, between Connector and Bridge.	The place where T routes to B meet. CTs hold it from above.

All three callouts are in water, and you can hear anyone who walks through them. When you call Ts here, say the exact name, because “Canal” and “Water” are two different routes to B.

B site: Bridge, Construction and the Pillar

B site is in the lower part of the map, to the right of Under A. The big round Pillar stands in the middle of it. Bridge crosses the Water just below the site, and Construction is the area behind Bridge, on the T side. CTs come down from Under A and Sniper’s Nest, so a B retake takes longer than an A retake.

Callout	Where it is	Who uses it and why
B Site	The bombsite in the lower part of the map, around the big Pillar.	Ts plant here. CTs retake from Under A and Sniper’s Nest.
Pillar	The large round pillar in the middle of B site. Players use the name, the radar does not show it.	The main cover on B. Players often plant next to it.
Bridge	The bridge over the Water, just below the site.	A T entry onto the site and a CT angle onto the Water.
Construction	The area behind Bridge, on the T side of B.	Ts gather here before they take the site.

B is the far site for CTs, so call early. “Two Canal” or “two Water” gives the CT on A the seconds he needs to rotate through Under A.

Overpass callouts cheat sheet

This table lists every callout in this guide by area, with the side that usually holds each area. The area names are the same as on the map images above.

T side	T Spawn, T Stairs, Alley, Side Alley, Tunnels	T side territory, the routes split here
Park	Fountain, Playground, Upper Park (Long A), Restroom (Toilets), Lower Park	T routes to A, CTs sometimes go into it early
A side	A Site, CT Spawn, Truck, Back of A, Pit, Stairs, Lobby, Storage Room	CTs, their spawn is next to the site
Middle	Connector, Walkway, Under A, Sniper’s Nest	Both sides, the link between A and B
B approach	Canal, Pipe, Water	T routes to B, CTs hold from above
B site	B Site, Pillar, Bridge, Construction	CTs hold it, the retake comes from Under A

How to learn Overpass callouts quickly

Overpass is easier to learn once you know it has two levels: the park and A on top, the canals and B at the bottom. Our routine for a new map:

• Start a private match on Overpass with no bots and walk the map in the order of this guide: T Spawn, the park, A site, Connector, the canals and B site. Read the place name under your radar as you walk.
• Load our CS2 config for training on a private server, so you can stay in one area as long as you need.
• Walk the CT rotation from A to B once through Stairs and Under A, and time it. That number tells you how early a B call has to come.
• Learn the second names your team uses. Long A, Toilets and Heaven are player names, and Valve uses some of them in its own patch notes.

Overpass is out of Premier as of November 2026, but you can still play it in Competitive. It was in the pool for the Budapest Major in December 2025, where Team Vitality won the grand final 3-1 and took one of the maps on Overpass. To see the seven maps in the pool now, read our guide to the Active Duty map pool. Our guides to Anubis callouts and Nuke callouts use the same format. When you want new skins for your next Overpass match, you can trade on SkinsMonkey with instant bot trades and a 30% deposit bonus, or 35% with a creator’s code.

Bottom line

Learn Overpass by its two levels: the park and A on top, the canals and B below.

If you play CT side, learn the rotation first: Back of A, Stairs and Under A take you from your spawn to B, and that walk decides most B retakes. If you play T side, learn the routes: Upper Park and Lower Park lead to A, Alley with the Canal and Tunnels with Connector lead to B.

The names that cause mistakes are the second names. Players say Long A for Upper Park and Toilets for Restroom, and the Canal and the Water are two different places. Overpass left Premier on July 8, 2026, so agree on these names with your team before a Competitive match.
