In Counter-Strike 2, defusing a bomb is a fundamental part of Counter-Strike that you absolutely cannot do without. if you are new to the game and want to figure out how bombs work in Counter-Strike then this article is for you.
Bombs in CS take a little less than 4 seconds to plant. If a terrorist fails to plant the bomb within the given time then the round goes to the CTs. Given the time constraint, it can be argued that the game is slightly favored towards the CTs but effective utilization of the bomb is one of the fundamentals that every player must know if they are to play the game.
To put it simply, Counter-Terrorists must stop the bomb from being planted or defuse it if it is already planted which brings us to the key topic.

How to defuse a bomb?
- Go close to the bomb and make sure your crosshair is pointing towards it or in the near vicinity.
- Press and hold “E” unless you have changed the keybind. Make sure you are not looking away or rapidly moving your mouse when defusing.
- Point to note, a defuse takes 10 seconds without a kit and 5 with one so make sure to grab one before the round starts.
Bombs can only be planned on specific locations on a map. Paying heed to audio queues and radar is extremely important in multiple facets of the game.
Make sure to kill all the Terrorists before you sit for a defuse or you can always try a ninja by smoking off the bomb and then sitting for a defuse but there is always the risk of an underhanded nade or getting spammed.
