I love it when you’re playing search and their last guy is planting.
You just lay down behind them and start defusing as soon as they plant.
Most people don’t turn around fast enough because they think they’re safe.

Why take the risk though? I’d rather shoot him and then defuse the bomb.

I remember Ninja Defuses in CoD4. So awesome, but back then that was just a term made by the community and now it’s actually real! Pretty cool IMO. I thought the requirement was something like defuse it within 10 seconds of it being planted with the planter still being alive. but that’s just a guess. And it would be better that way than if he was just “alive”.

• There are numerous ways to perform a ninja defuse in CS:GO, but each one is so satisfying. Here are some tips on how to defuse the bomb without engaging in a gunfight.

Don’t try this in every round

What makes a ninja defuse special is that it doesn’t happen very often. Therefore, when you see or perform a ninja defuse, it causes a feeling of satisfaction.

There are dozens of videos about ninja defuses in official matches, and some of them can make you have goosebumps. To name a few, everyone remembers Xyp9x‘s 1v5 clutch against North on Nuke when he got back to Lower Site through vents and managed to defuse the bomb just in time. There, he just proved to be a clutch master. Or, one of the best recent ninja defuses is definitely nitr0‘s clutch against MiBR on Overpass in BLAST Pro Series.

However, if it’s a great play, it doesn’t mean you should try it in every round. On the contrary, it fails most of the time, but we don’t notice these failed attempts. A ninja defuse is a very situational play, and you should know how to recognize the right time to try a ninja defuse instead of a regular retake or save.

Apparently, you shouldn’t try to perform a ninja defuse in rounds where you have a man advantage or a chance for a standard retake, although there are exceptions.

Sounds that suppress a defuse sound

Many times, you will stay in 1v1 post-plant situations. In those kinds of situations, it would be perfect for you if there was no defusing sound. If there wasn’t a defusing sound, Ts wouldn’t be able to hide and play mind games with you. They would have to constantly watch the bomb, which makes the situation easier for you. But, there are actual ways to suppress the sound of defusing the bomb.

One of the ways to suppress the sound is to throw the flashbang. When a flashbang explodes, it will completely suppress the sound of defusing and you will have a chance to start defusing the bomb without enemies knowing it. Also, if you are lucky, if they peeked you they will get flashed, which will give you some additional time for defusing. You can also use the HE grenade for the same purpose.

Another sound that suppresses the sound of defusing is scope. If you hold any weapon with the scope in your hands, you can use it to cover the sound of defusing. You can also use the scope as your advantage in case the opponents want to peek you. So, for example, if you have AWP, you can interrupt defusing and quickly snipe down an opponent that peeks.

How to position yourself in smoke?

One of the most famous ways to perform a ninja defuse is to simply throw the smoke to bomb and defuse it in the smoke. The upside is that opponents can’t see you, so it reduces their chances to hit you in smoke. But, if you want to perform ninja defuse in this way, you should position yourself in the smoke in the right way.

Valve

If there is any cover near the bomb, you just must use it. Also, you should always be aware of the direction from which your opponents can peek you. Make sure you crouched and turn your head to the ground as much as you can. Also, turn your back to your opponents. This way, you will additionally reduce their chances to hit you in the head, which would be fatal shot most of the time.

Be unpredictable and never defuse without a kit

Unpredictability is important for CS:GO in any aspect. Hence, it matters when it comes to ninja defusing as well. Sometimes, you will find yourself in position to fake defuse a couple of times in the same game. In those games, you must be unpredictable. If you see that your opponents are “non-believers” and they don’t peek when you fake defuse, then use it as your advantage. Next time, don’t fake, but stick to it to the end. They will regret their decision, and next time they will immediately peek you. So, you can punish them for that as well.

Another important thing regarding ninja defuse is to never try it without a kit. The only occasion when it’s okay to attempt ninja defuse without kit is when you somehow got far behind enemy lines who left the bomb in order to hunt you down. Otherwise, don’t even think about ninja defuse without a kit. It will take an eternity to defuse the bomb, and your opponents will have plenty of time to do whatever they want. Always make sure you have a kit with you before performing ninja defuse.

Camping is nothing new in Call of Duty, however this Modern Warfare hiding spot adds some humor to the mix as a certain loadout allows players to blend with the background and leave enemies clueless.

In a competitive shooter all about timing and accuracy niche tactics rarely come into effect. However due to certain Infinity Ward map designs, it turns out that hiding in plain sight can be a surprisingly beneficial strategy.

While lying prone in a tall field of grass with a ghillie suit can often be a cheesy way to gain the upper hand, enemies will eventually grow wise and get the flank on you. This absurd Riot Shield strategy on Grazna Raid however, is completely foolproof.

As exemplified throughout an amusing December 16 game of Search and Destroy, equipping a Riot Shield and wedging your character in the perfect spot can practically mask your appearance and leave the opposing team in shambles.

As the only player left standing on the team, they rush towards the A bombsite in order to set up a proper defense against the four remaining opponents. Having successfully planted the bomb with a minute to go, the next move was to find a sneaky hiding spot and wait for the enemies to waltz on in.

Jumping onto a small bin directly opposite the bomb will then allow you to scale up to an awkward looking spot atop a power box. Turning to face the bomb once again, with your back to the wall and Riot Shield in hand, this will provide a perfect vantage point while completely masking your character model from the opposition.

With no limbs peaking out around the shield, enemies can easily mistake the Riot Shield as part of the map design and go about their business without taking any further notice.

It didn’t take long before the rival team came flooding into the bombsite one by one. With an abundance of trusty throwing knives in hand and the window in which to defuse, rapidly closing, it was only a matter of time before the round win was secured.

A tremendous hiding spot for ninja-defusing as well, this tactic can also work when the roles are reversed and you’re on the defending squad. Once the bomb has been planted, there’s an extremely slim chance players would expect a ninja to drop from overhead, leading to a hilariously stealthy defuse and thus, another round win.

While this amusing trick will obviously only prove fruitful if the enemy team plays around the A bombsite, there’s no denying just how powerful the Riot Shield can be when employed in the right scenarios.

If you’re loading into a game on Grazna Raid any time soon, keep this sneaky spot in mind and watch out for any devious players running to the bomb with a Riot Shield in their hands or else you might end up another unlucky victim.

Ninja Defuse Spots

Ninja Defuse Spots on Map Pack 1

Remember that the main objective is defuse, not kill the enemies. The best classes are listed below

A new way to defuse silently

NiiTroGaming wrote Ok So How Many Times Have You Been De Fusing A Bomb And You Get Killed Because You Made Too Much Noise. Well Now You Can De Fuse And Plant Bombs Silently All You Need Is Any Class You Want, But The Equipment Has To Be A Claymore. Once Your Planting The Bomb Pull Out Your Claymore And Hold It There Until You’ve Planted The Bomb. You Know If Your Doing It Right If You Cant Here Yourself Planting Or Defusing The Bomb. This Is Great For Ninja Dufusals. If This Helped Please Give Me Rep

Nitro Gaming gets full credit for the silent defuse

Primary weapon: Any sniper rifle with silencer/ heartbeat
Secondary: Any machine pistol silenced
Equipment: C4, Claymore, or throwing knife.
Special Grenade: Smoke
Perk 1: Marathon
Perk 2: Cold Blooded Pro( Pro helps your chances of them not noticing you)
Perk 3: Ninja Pro( Although you won’t be walking around much, silenced footsteps help)
Death Streak: Martyrdom

The guile suit will help you hide in the bushes much better. The heartbeat will help detect where they are.

When you see the opposing team lay down to plant, immediately get up and check your surroundings. Remember the key word “NINJA”. If you see another enemy make sure he is not looking or slowly make your move towards the bomb. Try to get right behind him but give him enough space so that way he doesn’t get stuck or he will know. Either that or predict the side he will go to and get on the the other side of him. Remember that all of this has to be quick and smooth. Once you are in position he will finish planting. As soon as the “x” button or “square” pops up, immediately press it and start defusing. Once done defusing words will come across the screen that say “Ninja, sneaky sneaky”. You have successfully ninja defused. Follow this tutorial and you accomplish many more defuses. I hope I have helped.

I am glad I could help. If anyone would like to learn and get a feel for it before they try in a real match, message me at DUBL CLUTCH on xbl or just pm me and I will get with you asap!

How Kobe Bryant Forced LeBron, Carmelo, Wade and Others Into Changing Their Workout Routine

Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is an experienced gamer and a popular streamer on Mixer. While his primary game has been Fortnite over the last couple of years, for the last month he has been immersed in Call of Duty Warzone. From the looks of it though, Ninja has sworn off the title.

Call of Duty Warzone is Infinity Ward’s first venture into the Battle Royale genre. While it was an instant hit with more than 30 million downloads within 10 days, it also comes with its share of issues.

Firstly, it’s the debate that will probably go on forever, the aim-assist on controllers. PC users believe that the controller gives their counterparts an unfair advantage, while console players believe it’s a lot easier with a mouse. (Nerf down the aim-assist, I say!)

Secondly, the audio. Many users feel the audio in the game is not up to the mark. There are times when you cannot hear the footsteps of a player coming around the corner. You only realize someone’s there when you come face to face.

Another issue is something that is common in BR games; hackers.

Hackers ruin the game for everyone. It causes enough frustration for some players to simply give up on the game. However, the developers are doing what they can to permaban these cheats.

Ninja bids adieu to Call of Duty Warzone?

Coming back to Ninja, the popular streamer won the weekly tournament.

Won week 3 of Warzone Wednesday’s, I filled in for @HusKerrs who is an absolute beast and was still able to win with @JoshOG @diegosaurs

The crazy thing about me filling for Josh and Diego is that if they didn’t win this week, I would have gotten absolutely FLAMED by articles and critics.

Good game thing we clutched 😅

However, Ninja is not too happy with the game. The game remains strewn with hackers and it is putting Ninja off the game it seems.

I’m not kidding, 7/8 solo games after Warzone Wednesday I had a hacker kill me at airport; and chase me across the map after I won a gulag and kill me again.

Thank God Valorant beta goes live tomorrow.

It’s such a shame. I feel the exact same way. People tweeting me “stop playing then” or “stop complaining”

I fucking love Warzone. I really do think it’s a damn blast.

Skill based matchmaking combined with hackers every game ruins it. Such a shame.

As you can see, he is certainly looking forward to the Valorant beta already. Not surprising given how thrilled he was about the upcoming game when he first tried it out.

You can expect Ninja to be all in for Valorant, at least for a while now. If Call of Duty Warzone want Ninja to stay, they’ll have to work on weeding out the issues in the game.

Can’t say we disagree with him. However, let’s wait and see what changes the new week brings in Warzone.

The incredibly exciting Florida Mutineers Home Series has come and gone, and now it’s time to look back at our favorite moments! Check out these awesome plays featuring Dashy, Cellium, TJHaLy, SlasheR, Temp, and Priestahh.

World No.161 Halts Victoria Azarenka’s Stunning Resurgence at French Open 2020

Hackers and cheaters have plagued Call of Duty Warzone and Modern Warfare almost every season. In fact, the eSports community has seen an exponential rise of cheaters in BR games recently. Warzone is one of the most popular games globally, and Activision is still struggling with a system to weed out the cheats. For a multi-billion dollar company, the situation seems to be getting out of hand. Despite all their protocols, the community is slowly being suppressed by cheaters.

(Image Courtesy – Activision)

The increasing number of cheaters that casual and professional gamers face in-game has not seen a drop. Several streamers took to social media to express their dissatisfaction with Activision’s handling of the problem. Most of these players are considering a change of game titles if this continues. However, with the lack of a better option, the problem persists.

Recently, Ninja took to social media to express how he feels about the cheaters in Warzone. Previously, several other streamers had described how it was harming Warzone’s popularity. Ninja spoke on the same lines.

It really says how amazing of a game Warzone is that the top streamers continue to play it day in and day out and are killed by cheaters every other game. You hate to see them run rampant for so long with no hope or hint of a stronger anti-cheat being added

YouTuber Jack Frags, in a video, explained how cheats are monetized these days, especially for popular games. He referred to an incident where Activision had sued a company that distributed cheats for Warzone and Modern Warfare. While this comes as good news for the community, it is also a warning for cheaters.

The condition is worse as YouTube has many videos that actually show players how to cheat in Warzone. The abundance of options is one of the primary reasons why it is so easy for players to resort to unfair means.

Ninja suggests a stronger anti-cheat in Call of Duty Warzone

Ninja mentioned that “stronger anti-cheat” is necessary for the game. Those who follow Fortnite will know Epic Games worked hard to improve their anti-cheat after the Champions Series. There has been an exponential drop in cheaters since. So you can see why Ninja suggested a proper anti-cheat for CoD.

Has so much potential to be better. If anti-cheat was implemented, would be a huge step. More content drops similar to Fortnite would be nice. Faster balancing of weapons.

I think the tournament hype / $ is a big driving factor right now to grind.

On several occasions, streamers like TimTheTatMan, Nickmercs, Nadeshot, and several more have expressed their disappointment over this. Some hackers get in tournaments with cheats on, which is strictly against competitive rules, and that has subsequently paralyzed the community into a state of despair.

Numerous experts claim that Warzone is a dying game. However, it doesn’t seem that Activision has given up just yet. Hopefully, with the next season, a new set of rules will be structured with a more potent anti-cheat.

Pro players want to see this feature removed.

Ninja defusing may become obsolete since a new feature in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare allows players to view the defuse timer on the bomb in Search and Destroy.

Atlanta FaZe pro Michael “MajorManiak” Szymaniak discovered this feature after he saw a red bar next to the defuse timer surrounding the icon on the bombsite. This indicated that an enemy was defusing the bomb.

twitter messes with the quality so its def hard to see

MajorManiak said that this doesn’t have a place in competitive CoD since it removes a crucial element from Search and Destroy. In nearly every title, players have needed to check the bomb manually to find out if an enemy is defusing the explosive.

But many players are unsure about this feature. In the official ruleset for the CoD League, “Defuse Progress” is enabled. This feature could help inexperienced players in public matches since it’s easier to check the bomb, but it most likely shouldn’t be used in professional competitions.

Search and Destroy isn’t the only competitive game mode that’s causing issues for CoD players, though. Yesterday, Dallas Empire’s James “Clayster” Eubanks was frustrated with the Hardpoint game mode since there was an issue with the ruleset that disabled respawning.

Similarly, former OpTic player Seth “Scump” Abner experienced a glitch during a tournament. He saw an enemy’s gamertag through a door, which allowed him to get the kill.

Since Modern Warfare has been criticized by pros, fans should expect changes to the ruleset leading up to the start of the CoD League’s inaugural season on Jan. 24.

Echo Fox player Brice “Faccento” Faccento brilliantly executed a 1v1 strategy against Evil Geniuses’ Adam “Assault” Garcia, outplaying him to ninja defuse at the CWL Pro League.

Both Echo Fox and Evil Geniuses played twice on the first day back at the CWL Pro League for Division A, and both had won their first series of the day before going head to head.

Echo Fox took down CWL Anaheim runners-up and current favorites to win Division A, Red Reserve in the opening match, winning in game five as they look to secure top four for playoffs.

Evil Geniuses took advantage of Red Reserve’s loss to go top of the Division with a win over Epsilon next, however, their weakness in Search and Destroy continued as they won 3-1.

The two teams faced off against each other next, and it was a difficult match to call initially, with EG sitting on top of Division A, but Echo Fox had of course already beaten the favorites, Red Reserve.

Map one was a close hardpoint but Echo Fox came out on top, and with Evil Geniuses terrible S&D record recently, map two looked almost a foregone conclusion.

And after Faccento pulled off this incredibly smart ninja defuse in round two, Evil Geniuses couldn’t regain composure.

Baiting Assault with a bullet, Faccento immediately backed up down the mid-street on Saint Marie, and then perfectly timed a smoke grenade to trick Assault into believing he was holding his position. Meanwhile, Faccento hopped the bomb.

The play unsurprisingly won the Scuf play of the game, and was lauded by caster and analyst John “Revan” Boble.

“So Assault is expecting the rechallenge because he takes the first bullet in that engagement, so Assault had less health. He’s expecting a rechallenge from Faccento.

And Faccento is like ‘I’m going to back up, and because I’m backing up that opens up an opportunity if you were to push out towards the white jeep, then I’d just get mowed down.

So, he throws down the smoke, and you could see, it plays on the back of the mind of Assault, ‘is he still around this area, is he going to push through the smoke?’ – and Faccento just gets the easy defuse.”

Evil Geniuses will play their rivals for the top spot Red Reserve next, while Echo Fox take on Team Kaliber, with matches resuming on Wednesday, June 27th at 11 am PT.
