C4
The Ts win a round by planting the C4 on a bomb site and keeping it there until it explodes. The CTs win by defusing it, or by stopping the plant.
Plant it
One T carries the C4 each round, in slot 5. To plant, stand still on the ground inside a bomb site and hold E, or hold left click with the C4 in hand, for 3 seconds. You crouch and cannot move while planting; let go and the plant starts over.
Once it is planted, the round clock stops and the C4's own 35-second timer runs. If the carrier dies, the C4 drops where they fell, and any T can pick it up.
Defuse it
A CT on the ground within 1.5 m of the C4 holds E for 10 seconds, or 5 with a defuse kit. You cannot move while defusing, and letting go resets it.
Every human CT spawns with a kit. A kit drops when its owner dies, and a CT without one can pick it up.
When it goes off
The explosion goes through walls and hurts everyone, both sides, falling off with distance to nothing at 44 m.
