How it plays

• Seat 0 starts as Special Forces. Sides swap each round. Terrorists plant, CT cuts the wire.
• BUY a gun, attachments, armor, flashes, smokes, stims, radar, a defuse kit or speed stims.
• Each round builds a new compound. Two sites. Hold USE on a pad to plant or defuse.
• First to 4 rounds. Time without a plant is a CT win. A popped fuse is a T win.

Hints

• BUY a rifle, armor, and a flash before the freeze drops.
• Terrorists hold USE on a gold pad to plant. CT holds USE on the bomb to cut the wire.
• SWAP cycles the shop in buy, and guns live. UTIL throws flash, smoke, or stim.

Tips

• A popped fuse still wins after you die. Plant, then trade.
• Defuse kit cuts the hold almost in half. Buy it when you are CT.
• Smoke the site lip. Blind before you swing. The compound is new every round.
