New CS2 bug lets you defuse from virtually any height

CS2 players are discovering a new way to defuse the bomb, thanks to an apparent bug that's made its way into the game. You can now defuse the bomb from any height, providing that you are looking down straight at the bomb.

The Team Spirit account posted a clip to X today showing a Counter-Terrorist defusing the bomb on the Nuke A site from on top of the nuclear silos. The clip also showed another player's perspective, which includes a defusal kit wire extending all the way down from the CT to the bomb.

After hopping into the practice server ourselves, we can confirm that it is real and possible to defuse from on top of the Nuke silo:

We also confirmed that it works on other spots too, like from the top of the boost box on the B site of Mirage and from the window on the B site on Dust2:

We also found that it works from Heaven on the A site of Anubis:

As seen from the CT-side perspective, below this bug can be extremely powerful when defusing, if bomb is planted in a favorable spot and you have a smoke in hand:

It is very likely that this bug will be fixed in the near future, however it is still in place in the game it should be treated as an exploit and give pause for thought for any official competitions running on the most recent patch.
