How to change the bomb timer in CS:S

Type mp_c4timer 35 in the server console and planted C4 explodes after 35 seconds. The default is 45.

mp_c4timer

Sets how many seconds the planted C4 bomb ticks before it explodes.

mp_c4timer <seconds>

Examples

mp_c4timer 35

Faster rounds after a plant.

mp_c4timer 45

A common match setting.

Arguments

secondsRequired
Bomb countdown in seconds after planting.

What it does

The countdown starts when the bomb is fully planted. A shorter timer favors the Terrorists after a plant, a longer one gives Counter-Terrorists more time to retake and defuse. Only matters on bomb defusal (de_) maps.

The game's own description: how long from when the C4 is armed until it blows

Good to know

  • Applies to the next bomb planted.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to cstrike/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS:S server first.
