How To Change the C4 Bomb Timer on Your CS2 Server

Note:

The defuse time (5 seconds with a kit, 10 seconds without) remains constant regardless of what you set the C4 timer to.
You can apply these variables instantly without modifying your server.cfg files. Log into your Cybrancee Game Panel, open the Console tab, and type both commands directly into the command line. Type mp_restartgame 1 afterward to apply the rules to the current round.
