On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 25/03/23
Summarize your bug In Rush, if an EOD bot gets destroyed while defusing a bomb, the bomb gets put in a frozen state, causing the bomb to neither explode or get re-armed.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. In Rush, have an attacker arm the bomb 2. On defense, have an EOD bot start defusing the bomb 3. Have the attacker destroy the bot before it finishes defusing
What happens when the bug occurs? Bomb gets put into a stalemate until the defense disarms the bomb again. The bomb can't explode or be re-armed while in this state. Matches can go on forever if the defense doesn't defuse again.
What should be happening instead? Bomb defusal process should restart if EOD bot gets destroyed similar to how it works with players attempting to defuse.

Found this bug while playing around with the EOD bot after finding out it can defuse/arm bombs in Rush. The bomb icon gets stuck with the defusing icon with a red ring around it, and it stays like that until it gets defused again. Attackers can pretty much never win as long as this bug stays in the game.

  • The bug was use during my last match. Impossible to destroy any bomb so frustrating. Some players start to use it as bug exploit
