DEFUSE KIT

The Defuse Kit is a Counter-Terrorist exclusive equipment used to decrease the defuse time of bombs.

Overview

               Defuse Kits were added in BETA 5.0 (the bomb defusal scenario was added in BETA 4.0). It can only be purchased by Counter-Terrorists on bomb defusal maps. It halves the time required to defuse the bomb (five seconds instead of the usual ten). It is automatically used when defusing the bomb, and can be used an unlimited amount of times.

               Possessing the defuse kit adds a symbol of a pair of pliers to the player's HUD under the player's inventory. In Sourceand Global Offensive, when playing as a Counter-Terrorist or as a spectator, the scoreboard shows a defuser icon next to the name of the player for players possessing a defuse kit.

               In the Global Offensive beta, the defusal kit was randomly given to two Counter-Terrorists. In Global Offensiverelease, the defusal kit is given to all CT players for free in Casual Bomb Scenario at the start of the round. It still needs to be purchased in Competitive bomb defuse.

               If a Counter-Terrorist dies, their Defuse Kit will be dropped, and other Counter-Terrorist without a Defuse Kit can pick it up. Interestingly, if a CT begins defusing the bomb and had somehow picked up a defusal kit at the same time, the C4 will still require 10 seconds to defuse and not 5. This can be done by jumping on the C4, begin the defusal process, and then obtaining the defusal kit. However, if the defusal process is restarted when following the aforementioned fact, the bomb can be defused in 5 seconds.

               It is often highly recommended to purchase a kit as a Counter-Terrorist to reduce the time it takes to defuse (this is especially helpful when "ninja" defusing). If a team is tighter on economy, then it is also viable to only have two players purchase defuse kits, one stationed at each bombsite to defuse the bomb when site is clear, or let others pick up their kits to defuse if they die.

               The Defusal kit is the standard equipment in Deleted Scenes. The player will automatically use it when defusing a bomb, and the defuse time is same as in multiplayer (5 seconds). However, the suitcase Nuke and sometimes bombs can also be defused like the C4 but slower and the time needed to defuse is same as defusing C4 without a kit (10 seconds).

Advantages

Decreases bomb defusal time by 50%

Cheap (costs $200 or $400 in Competitive mode in Global Offensive)

Disadvantages

Makes the owner a priority target to the Terrorists (however, if everybody on the team owns one, this disadvantage vanishes)

When obtaining a Defuse Kit, you cannot drop it for other CTs to use and you can only purchase one.

RESCUE KIT

The Rescue Kit is equipment exclusive to the Counter-Terrorists in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It was added with the March 21, 2013 update.

When equipped in the player's inventory, the kit speeds up the process of picking up a hostage, reducing the pickup time from four seconds to one second.

Overview

The rescue kit has the same world model as the defuse kit.

It uses the same entity as the defuse kit.

Like the defuse kit, it is dropped upon death and can be picked up by other CTs.

Unlike the defuse kit, the rescue kit is not automatically given to the player in Casual matches.

Bots never purchase this item, but can retrieve a dropped rescue kit if it is within the bot's path.
