How the mode scores
Steam confirms an attacking gang with the bomb, a defending gang trying to stop it, and one life per round. The published route to winning is planting or defusing. Exact detonation and defuse timings are not given in the store description.
Make your next round count
Before the round, decide the route and who watches the next angle. Information has lasting value when dead players cannot simply re-enter the fight. Report what you actually saw rather than a guessed enemy position, and avoid making several players check the same angle.
Once the objective is active, move your attention from collecting kills to denying the opponent’s objective action. Keep a position that can respond to the relevant route, and avoid a chase that takes you too far away to intervene.
Practice and rule checks
Practice a round with friends in a password-protected private match, available after 1.0.1.4. Check the round rules and interaction prompt there. We have not measured plant duration, economy rules or named bombsites, so this guide gives decision principles rather than invented bombsite executes.
