Bomb Defuse has an explicit objective
The in-game help describes two teams and a 1:55 round timer. The 2026-11-11 official About sets the match win condition: casual Bomb Defuse is first to 6 rounds; Ranked is first to 13 and switches sides at half-time. Attackers aim to plant and protect the bomb; defenders prevent the plant or complete a defuse. The plant-and-defuse guide covers the interaction timings.
Choose this mode when you want to practice buying, moving toward a site and making decisions around a timed objective. That is a learning suggestion based on the verified rules. The older in-game help described a longer first-to-eight match; this page uses the newer official About text for the win condition instead of repeating the outdated target.
Team Deathmatch rules and respawns
The 2026-11-11 official About text gives Team Deathmatch an 8-minute limit and says the team with the most kills wins. Players respawn after death, so the mode is a continuous fight rather than a single-life round. The same text does not provide a reward calculation, a tie rule or a more detailed overtime procedure. Match wins are also the subject of an observed daily task; the daily challenges guide records that wording and the separate C reward.
Read the live scoreboard and help panel for the current display. Use the mode to practice movement, weapon switching and reading a fight, but do not assume that a Team Deathmatch result earns the same rewards as a Bomb Defuse round. The economy guide separates C rewards from round dollars.
A mode label does not confirm multiplayer
The 2026-11-11 official About text still labels online multiplayer as coming soon and describes bots as the current opponents. Ranked being live does not establish that a ranked session contains human players. Friends/parties and link invites are described, but that is not the same as a public matchmaking ladder.
A team-mode name, rank-style profile label or online counter remains a signal, not proof of human matchmaking. The Ranked status page separates the confirmed rules from the parts that are still undocumented.
