Non-Stop Tactical Action


Retakes is a high-intensity game mode where the traditional round structure is bypassed. Every round starts with 3 Terrorists defending a planted bomb and 4 Counter-Terrorists attempting to defuse it. This mode is the premier way for competitive players to practice post-plant scenarios.

Technical Requirements

To host a Retakes environment, your server must have the modern Source 2 modding stack:
  1. Metamod:Source v2.0+
  2. CounterStrikeSharp
  3. A dedicated Retakes Plugin (commonly retrieved from community repositories like GitHub).

Configuration Essentials

Spawns and Maps

Unlike standard matches, Retakes requires custom spawn points. Most modern plugins come with pre-packaged configurations for official Valve maps like de_mirage, de_inferno, and de_dust2.

Loadout Customization

Players usually have restricted weapon choices to simulate a real match economy. These can be adjusted in the plugin’s .json configuration files (e.g., swapping M4A4 for M4A1-S or defining pistol round probabilities).
