Overpass callouts in CS2: radar names, Monster, Heaven and Bank

Overpass callouts in CS2: the radar's place names and the nicknames Valve uses too, like Monster, Heaven, Bank and Party, grouped by T side, mid, A and B site.

Overpass callouts mix two systems that rarely match: the place names CS2 shows on the radar, and the nicknames players use on voice. Valve uses many of those nicknames itself, from Monster and Bank in its official map guide to "party/picnic" and "long boost" in its patch notes. This guide puts both side by side, area by area.

How Overpass callouts work in CS2

Every area of a CS2 map has an official place name, shown next to a teammate's name in game and recorded in demos. MapSense, a demo viewer that reads these names from match demos, lists 25 on Overpass. Several of them differ from what teams say: the radar's Snipers Nest is the room players call Heaven, and its Restroom is what they call Toilets.

Valve's map guide, which ships with the game, names its lineups Monster, Heaven, Bank, Dumpster, Bridge, Sewer and T Ramp. Each lineup records where the grenade lands, so it shows which part of the map Valve means by each name. Every callout below is either on the radar or backed by at least two sources.

The Overpass layout at a glance

The Counter-Strike Wiki describes the setting as a canal overpass and the park above it in Berlin. CTs spawn on Bombsite A, at the top of the radar. Bombsite B sits right of centre, below CT spawn and reached by a stairwell. T spawn is at the bottom right, the park fills the left half, and the canal runs down the right side towards B.

T side and mid callouts

Area	Callout	Where it is
T side	T Spawn	The Terrorist start at the bottom right of the radar
T side	T Ramp	The ramp from T spawn to Playground and Fountain
T side	Playground	The playground at the bottom left, outside the ramp
T side	Fountain	The large fountain just above Playground
T side	Tunnels	The tunnel from T spawn towards Connector
T side	Alley	The short route from T spawn towards B
T side	T Stairs, Side Alley	Radar areas above and right of T spawn
Mid	Connector	The stairs between mid and the lower tunnel, at the centre of the radar
Mid	Party	The picnic area with balloon-tied benches beside mid, also called Balloons
Mid	Restroom	The indoor area players call Toilets, left of centre
Long	Upper Park, Lower Park	The radar's names for the park on the left half
Long	Long	The wide route up the left side towards A
Long	Long Boost	A small generator on the CT side of Long

Party shows how the two systems overlap. Hotspawn's guide calls the spot Balloons, after the benches with balloons tied to them. Valve's November 2024 notes removed a fence "at the edge of party/picnic", and a February 2026 patch simply "Fixed the Party balloons."

A site callouts

Area	Callout	Where it is
A site	Bombsite A	The site at the top, where CTs spawn, with a wrecked truck in the middle
A site	Truck	The large truck in the middle of A
A site	Bank	The bank beside A; Valve's Bank smoke lands in the radar's Lobby
A site	Lobby, Storage Room	Radar areas above the site, where the bank is
A site	Back of A	The radar area behind the site, next to Stairs
A site	Dumpster	The trash container behind A, by the stairs
A site	Stairs	The stairs from A down towards Walkway and B

Valve's July 2025 notes moved up "the wall behind dumpster, by A stairs" and adjusted the angle of the truck on A, so both names appear in Valve's own wording. Hotspawn calls the dumpster Trash.

B site callouts

Area	Callout	Where it is
B site	Bombsite B	The site right of centre, built around a large cylindrical pillar
B site	Pillar	The pillar in the middle of B that holds up the overpass
B site	Barrels	The barrels at the back of B
B site	Snipers Nest	The radar's name for Heaven, the small room overlooking B
B site	Walkway	The short tunnel underneath Heaven
B site	Under A	The radar area between A and Heaven
B site	Water	The once-flooded area leading onto B from the left
B site	Bridge	The short bridge next to B
B site	Construction, Pipe	Radar areas below B, towards Alley
B site	Sewer	The watery area on the Monster side of B
B site	Canal	The radar's name for the area right of B
B site	Monster	The tunnel into B from the right, known for its monster graffiti

Monster shows the gap between the radar and Valve's other files. The guide's Monster smoke lands in the area the radar calls Canal, while Hotspawn describes Monster as the tunnel leading to B, with a monster painted on its wall.

Overpass in CS2: changes that touched named spots

Valve updated Overpass twice around its return to Active Duty, and these changes mention callouts by name:

Date	Change
November 2024	Canals area and B site updated, the Heaven drop-down reworked, a sign added to block a line of sight from long boost to CT spawn, a fence at the edge of party/picnic removed, a chain link fence in alley removed, a handcart behind the B barrels removed
July 2025	Breakable glass on the B doors, the Heaven railing adjusted, the A truck angled differently, the view from the truckbed to the stairs blocked, the wall behind the dumpster moved up
February 2026	The Party balloons fixed
July 2026	Overpass left the Active Duty pool, replaced by Cache

Our November 2024 update article lists that rework in full, and our map pool history covers every time Overpass entered and left Active Duty. The July 2026 swap is in our Premier Season Five article, and the map that replaced Overpass has its own Cache callouts guide.
