Learn Counter-Strike: Source A and B site bomb planting strategies, including specific spots near Quad, Graveyard, Pit, Grill, Spools, and Fountain.
A Site Planting:
If you have control of Quad but are unsure about Arch (a common rotation point for Counter-Terrorists (CTs) at B), plant the bomb on the edge of the site as you run down Quad, outside of the crates. This allows you to monitor the bomb from Graveyard and Pit, while limiting CTs' attacking angles to Arch, Library, and Balcony. For more secure plants, position the bomb closer to the corner of the site. While multiple spots exist, those nearer the corner are safer, but also harder to watch from outside the site.
B Site Planting:
B site offers two planting positions. The standard location is on top of the Grill in front of Spools. Use this spot if you control Construction and have cleared the CTs, or at least smoked them off. Alternatively, the safe option is directly behind the Fountain, which is recommended if Construction is not cleared or if you require cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) from CTs.
- On A site, planting outside crates near Quad allows observation from Graveyard and Pit.
- Safer A site plants are closer to the corner but harder to watch.
- On B site, plant on the Grill in front of Spools if Construction is secure.
- Behind the Fountain on B site is a safer plant if Construction is contested.
