2. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

L4D2 Server Dashboard, Files Tab Highlighted

3. Select the ‘left4dead2’ Folder

Navigating to the left4dead2 root folder in the Cybrancee server file manager

6. Add the Timer Command

The pipe_bomb_timer_duration variable controls exactly how many seconds pass between the pipe bomb leaving a player’s hand and the actual explosion. Setting it to 6 gives the beeping sound double the time to attract every zombie in the area before finally going off

Scroll to the bottom of the file. Paste the following code on a new line and adjust the number to your preferred fuse length in seconds (the default is 3):

// Adjusts the pipe bomb fuse timer in seconds
sm_cvar pipe_bomb_timer_duration 6
