How to Defuse the Bomb in CS:GO - Complete Guide for Beginners
To defuse the bomb in CS:GO, you'll need to follow these precise steps and understand the key mechanics involved. I'll explain everything you need to know about successful bomb defusal.
Basic Defuse Steps: - Stand close to the bomb - Look directly at it - Press and hold the 'E' key (default bind) - Wait for the defuse timer to complete
The standard defuse takes 10 seconds, while having a defuse kit reduces this to 5 seconds. You can buy a defuse kit during the buy phase for $400.
Important Things to Know: - You must remain still while defusing - Moving or getting shot interrupts the defuse - You can stop defusing by releasing the 'E' key - The bomb makes a distinct sound when being defused - Enemies can hear the defuse sound
Advanced Defusing Techniques:
Fake Defusing - Tap 'E' briefly to make the defuse sound - This can bait enemies into peeking - Use this to locate hiding enemies
Ninja Defuse - Wait for enemies to plant - Sneak up while they're distracted - Start defusing immediately - Works best with a smoke grenade for cover
Tips for Successful Defuses: - Always buy a defuse kit on CT side - Clear the area before attempting a defuse - Use smoke grenades for cover - Listen for enemy footsteps while defusing - Communicate with teammates for cover - Check the bomb timer before attempting a defuse
Remember, if there's not enough time left, it's better to save your weapons than attempt an impossible defuse. The bomb explosion timer is 40 seconds from plant.
This is everything you need to know about defusing in CS:GO. Practice these techniques in casual matches before applying them in competitive play.
