How to Defuse the Bomb in Valorant
Just press 4, lol. But seriously, make sure no enemies are lurking around. Getting shot in the back isn't fun.

Hot take: Defusing the bomb is overrated; just eliminate the other team. Works every time. ?
Defusing the bomb in Valorant is pretty straightforward but super crucial! Firstly, make sure the area around the bomb (also called the Spike) is clear of enemies. You don't wanna get shot while trying to defuse. When it's safe, walk up to the Spike and hold the '4' key on your keyboard if you're a defuser. Keep holding it till the defusal meter fills up and boom, you've saved the day! Remember, it takes about 7.5 seconds to defuse the bomb completely, so timing and cover are everything.
I remember my first defuse. My hands were shaking! Pro tip: Communicate with your team. They can watch your back while you defuse. And if you're the last one standing, it's all about that stealth mode. Use those agent abilities to create some confusion or cover.
