Map overview

Grail is a community-created Bomb Defusal map featured in Counter-Strike 2. Its catalogue entry connects the map to the standard planted-bomb objective and to the community maps that have entered CS2 matchmaking over time. Availability is version- and date-dependent, so consult Map Rotations when checking a specific active pool.

The map’s formal scenario determines how it fits into a match. Bomb Defusal connects the map’s playable space to the plant, defense and retake phases of a round. Players can browse it with other Community Maps and compare its mode with Wingman and Bomb Defusal.

CS2 availability and use

A map’s addition to or removal from a matchmaking pool is a dated availability record. It should not be confused with the map’s scenario, creator or visual setting. Map Rotations tracks those changes, while this page identifies the map and explains where it belongs in CS2.

Grail is useful to recognize when selecting or discussing its corresponding CS2 mode. Its setting and visual landmarks help players distinguish it from other entries, while the mode determines the match objective and team format. Specific callouts and current queue availability should follow the applicable CS2 version rather than assumptions from another game.

CS2 applicability

Grail is covered here as a Counter-Strike 2 map. If it also appeared in an earlier title or operation, those appearances are historical context and do not supply current CS2 queue rules. Map-pool status can change through updates; consult the dated rotation record for a particular season or release.
