Nuke vents 1v1 retake
The situation
Nuke. CT-side. 1v1. Bomb planted at A site, 18 seconds left. You have an M4A1-S with 6 bullets, full armor + helmet, defuser. 1 flash. You're at lower secret entry; T defender unknown but heard at A site.
Pick the best play
Push vents, pop-flash before exit, peek site
- B
Sprint heaven entry from outside, top-down peek
- C
Take ramp route for vertical advantage
- D
Stay lower, wait for them to leave the bomb
Why A is the best play
Vents flash + peek catches them off-guard — they're likely watching ramp / heaven. The angle is tight so 6 bullets is plenty. Heaven (b) takes too long for the bomb timer. Staying lower (d) gives them a free defuse on a probable double-fake.
