Most advanced players have integrated key binds to their CS2 settings, as binds allow them to execute certain actions for them, and overall cuts inefficiencies. One of the best binds you can have in CS2 is the drop bomb bind, so let’s learn everything you need to know about it here.
What Is The CS2 Drop Bomb Bind?
The CS2 drop bomb bind is a custom key bind that allows you to drop the C4 Explosive with one press of a button. Being able to drop the bomb can be very helpful as most players dislike carrying it around during rounds.
When the CS2 drop bomb bind is implemented properly, you can simply press the key assigned to the bind, and your in-game character will immediately throw the bomb on the ground. Your character will drop the bomb instantly, without taking into account what weapon you are currently holding in your hand. You will drop the bomb and immediately switch back to your primary weapon.
It is a very straightforward, yet extremely useful bind to have in your arsenal.
Why Should You Have A CSGO Drop Bomb Bind?
Most players find it extremely burdering to carry the bomb around, as it prevents them from making solo plays since having the bomb dropped in the middle of nowhere could significantly reduce the chances of your team winning the round.
With this in mind, you will notice that, in most games, players are constantly playing “Hot Potato” with the bomb, as everyone is trying to get rid of it since nobody wants to be responsible for dropping the bomb in enemy territory.
Instead of having to cycle to the bomb with your mouse wheel and manually drop it every time, you can make a keybind that immediately drops the bomb on the ground with a single key press, meaning you never have to scroll to it in the first place!
If this bind sounds very helpful to you, follow our step by step guide of how you can make and apply the CS2 drop bomb bind into your game client.
How To Make The CS2 Drop Bomb Bind [Step by Step]
Now, let’s go through all the steps you need to successfully create the drop bomb bind in CS2.
Step 1: Enable The Developer Console
Some of you might have already completed the first step, so if you have done so, feel free to skip it. If you haven’t, the first step is to enable the developer console, since we’ll be needing it to activate the bind command.
Here’s how you can enable the console:
- Launch CS2 and go to your Settings menu.
- Next, go to the Game Settings section.
- The first option you see should be “Enable Developer Console.”
- Set the option to “Yes.”
Now that you have enabled the console, you can hit the “~” key to open and close it.
Step 2: Make The Drop Bomb Alias
Now, most bind commands can immediately be done using one line of console commands, but dropping the bomb requires multiple actions, such as switching to the bomb and switching back to your primary rifle. So, we’re going to have to make an alias to group these actions together.
As long as you follow the steps, this should be easy:
- Open the console using the “~” key.
- Next, type in: alias “+dropc4” “slot5”
- Then, also type in: alias “-dropc4” “drop; slot1”
Now that the alias has been set up, we can move onto the final step.
Step 3: Set Up The Bind Command
Now that the alias is set up, we can implement the bind.
Okay, so now we have the alias ready to go. The last thing we need to do is to set up the bind command itself:
- Open the console using the “~” key.
- Next, type in the command: bind <key> “dropc4”
Of course, replace <key> with the button you are intending to use!
If you have followed the steps correctly, you would have successfully set up the CS2 drop bomb bind, and pressing it will drop the bomb and switch back to your primary rifle.
