Learn optimal bomb plant positions for A and B sites in Counter-Strike: Source, considering enemy control and retake scenarios.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    A Site Plant:
    • If Connector (an area on the map) is not under your control, and you need a quick plant, position yourself behind the stack of pipes and yellow artillery shells. Plant the bomb just on the outside of the bend.
  2. 2
    If you have Connector control, an aggressive plant position is at the three wooden boxes closest to the Counter-Terrorist (CT) spawn. Plant the bomb between these boxes on the Connector side.
  3. 3
    B Site Plant:
    • The plant position often depends on where you anticipate the enemy retake (when the opposing team tries to reclaim the site) will occur.
  4. 4
    A common plant is just outside the B site, on the side nearest B Aps (an area on the map). This offers some protection from CTs located at Market and Archway (areas on the map).
  5. 5
    If Archway is relatively clear and you can cross the site safely, planting in the corner closest to Market Door is also a viable option.
Tips
  • Consider enemy positions and map control when choosing your plant spot to maximize survivability.
  • For A site, Connector control significantly influences the best aggressive plant location.
  • For B site, anticipate the most likely retake routes when deciding where to plant.
