In case you don’t know, Jailbreak is a custom game mode developed by the community for Counter Strike: Source. Sure, you could play it like it is intended, but doing otherwise is a lot more entertaining, which is why I bring you “10 Ways to Improve Jailbreak”, which usually do not require help from others. Since T’s are the group who is disadvantaged, most of these tips are designed to find creative ways to grief CT’s.

  1. Find an ally on T’s, then switch teams and give them guns. Then get them to kill all the other CT’s bar yourself, which will annoy them along with the fact they will have to wait for respawn. You can always kamikaze yourself just to let the terrorists win, another way to annoy them.
  2. This is more of a short-term tactic due to the fact it is quite noticable. Whenever a CT  tries to make an order, spam loud noise on your mic. That way, nothing will be heard by anyone.
  3. Ensure you know where the “vent cell” is in each map. Any good jailbreak map will have a “vent cell” where the wall can be broken (with your knife, but guns work too) which has a passage which usually leads to gun room or somewhere near gun room. I think you can work out the rest – make sure you do this as soon as the cells open before the CT’s know what is up!
  4. Hiding in cells – this method also works similar to the above – just make sure you do it well and when you make a run for gun room, that the coast is clear (or that the CT’s at least aren’t looking).
  5. Persuade an admin to use their powers in your favour – an easy and effective, and sometimes quite hilarious trick.
  6. Similar to the vent cell trick, find the cell with the “hidden weapon” – most maps have a cell with a pistol or grenade in them, and these can be used to knock out CT’s easily if you have the skill. Once you have knocked one out, you can steal their weapon.
  7. After losing last request, kill the CT anyway (much easier if you choose shot-for-shot or gun toss, since you will be assured a gun). Obviously make sure you go first such that the CT wont kill you first.
  8. Choose a last request of gun toss, but instead just “shot shot shot”. If someone else is last requesting, you know the rules and so do I.  A less obvious way to do this is to just wound them almost enough that they can die from one shot or falling off something.
  9. Lead the CT’s to fall down a large distance.
  10. Shout “Freeday” whenever and wherever possible. Also accuse the CT’s of freekilling wherever possible – a good trick is to bind “kill; say FREEKILLED!!” to a key, and to press it just as they are about to get you.
  11. A bonus and simple one – Obviously, just knife the CT’s if you have the skill!

Most of these are no doubt against some of the rules on some servers. In that case, make sure you do it discreetly.
