Dry Peek:

A dry peek is a player’s swing or corner check without using utility first, such as a flash, smoke, or molotov. In Counter-Strike 2, the term is used to describe a direct, unassisted look at an angle, which can be risky because the opponent is not being disrupted or forced out of position.

Dry peeks matter because they often rely on timing, crosshair placement, and movement rather than utility setup. The phrase is common in team communication and strategy discussions, especially when comparing a safe, utility-backed peek with a more aggressive one.
