Valve completely changed how the C4 explosion works in CS2.

I made a 1-minute breakdown covering everything important:

  • 💣 Plant position no longer affects the explosion.
  • 🌊 How the new shockwave works.
  • 🧱 Why walls can save you.
  • 👀 Looking away reduces damage.
  • ❤️ Health bar survival indicator.
  • 🦺 Armor no longer helps.

Hopefully this saves some of you from dying after winning the round. Let me know what you think or if I missed anything.
