Since its release, Half-Life, and later its evolution into CS:GO, has been one of the greatest FPS games of all time. In fact, there have been periods when the viewership for CS:GO surged dramatically, even without significant updates or changes from Valve. Despite having a large player base, including many try-hard gamers with thousands of hours played, CS:GO continues to have mysteries that sometimes can’t be uncovered just by playing a lot.
Recently, the online community and CS:GO fans were surprised when a mystery regarding the bomb defusal kit was revealed. If you are a player familiar with CS:GO, or even the classic Half-Life, you probably know the function of this defusal kit. Without the kit, defusing a bomb takes 10 seconds, but that time is halved with the help of the kit.
Everyone knows that function. However, what’s interesting here are the faint characters printed inside the CT’s kit bag if you spend money to acquire this item. As we all know, no matter how long you’ve been playing the game, the code for the bomb set by the Terrorists (T) remains a familiar and unchanging series of numbers: 7355608.
Coincidentally, that series of numbers is also the one printed faintly on the bomb defusal kit bag for the CT side if you buy this item. Recently, a player, instead of picking up the bomb defusal kit, zoomed in on the bag, and the result surprised many of us, as the number 7355608 also appeared right on the front of the bag.
A mystery that may not be particularly thrilling, but it raises countless questions for gamers. According to a widely agreed opinion to explain this issue, specifically, if you don’t buy the kit, the CT side will take 10 seconds to defuse the bomb, which includes 5 seconds to decode the password and 5 seconds to perform the defusal. If you buy the kit, the password is provided, saving those 5 seconds mentioned above. It does sound reasonable, doesn’t it?
