De_Cbble: Planting the Bomb at Site B

There may be a full overview of Cbble in the near future but, in the meantime, here is a handy hint for Terrorists.

Bombsite B:

Here it is, a bunch of crates and some steps. Not entirely sure what the strategical advantages of blowing up this area could be, what exactly is in those crates?

The common place to plant the bomb here is behind the two crates on the left and then to camp next to it, opposite it or to go up the stairs and camp there. What’s wrong with this?

Well, when I’ve been a CT and come trotting to a beeping site B and couldn’t see the bomb, I knew tat the bomb was behind the boxes and, therefore, that there were some nasty terrorists somewhere in that area. No surprises then that out come the flashes and the nade and, if I’m hacking lucky I can pop a few off and maybe even get the defuse. If there are more than just me then we stand a good chance of winning the round.

Plus, if one of gets in and starts the defuse and there are other T’s approaching the site, they cannot pick off the defuser as they are hidden by the boxes. They have to waste time running all the way up to the site.

The solution?

Ok, so what do we have here? Bomb out in the open, any defuser is going to need some good defense around him, very low risk of a ninja defuse. Plus, a few more places for camping T’s to be hiding. So that’s all very nice, some people may say ‘yeah, each to their own, no clear cut advantage’. But here is what makes this spot super happy 1337:

Planting the bomb here allows you to keep an eye on it from a very nice little spot out of the way of most flashbangs and nades and crossfire that may be happening around the site. Your cosy lookout post is here:

From here you have a great view of the bomb, obviously any sniper is laughing at this distance. Should you see someone start a defuse you can safely fire at him. Even with a pistol you can take them out before they finish. A funny thing is to watch them try and figure out where the shots are coming from. This position is especially good if you are the only guy left and have managed to get the bomb down with the enemy elsewhere in the map.

You are fairly safe, a nice distance from the bomb means that the explosion won’t kill you, the enemy will take a while working out where you are and if they get to you and kill you they still ahve to get back to the bomb. All the while the bomb is ticking, not much time for them really.

A word of caution: Your only main point of vulnerability is from here:

Depending on how many people you are playing against determines the chances of people passing through here. Against a small team, say in a match, the chances are that they are already at B and maybe some are at A and are coming the other way. Keep your ears open. With the bomb placed anyone coming through this way will be running and these corridors aren’t exactly lined with wall-to-wall shagpile carpet. Your main focus is the bomb but occasionally make brief, visual checks of this doorway.

This trick can be used a lot of times because even if they know what your doing, they still have to waste time coming after you.

The only tricky part is getting the bomb down in the first place…
