Getting a successful Ninja Defuse off is probably one of the most satisfying things a person can do in a Call of Duty 4 Search and Destroy game. Not only does it give you that nice full leet feeling but it absolutely humiliates and demoralizes the opposing team. It isn’t the impossible task that some people make it out to be. The most relevant variables, the skill/blindness of your opponents and plain old luck are out of your hands. There are a few things you can control to get successful Ninja Defuses more often.

First and most importantly is to choose a good camping spot to wait for the plant. Some maps and bomb sites just don’t have enough cover to camp, so if that is the case don’t camp that site. Second is to match your camouflage to the map and place you are camping. The guille suit snipers get is great for maps like Downpour, but I wouldn’t be using it on Chinatown. In that same vein you want to have the smallest weapon possible out when you are camping, a Pistol is much harder to see than someone lugging around a RPD trying to camp. Pistols that aren’t silenced are prefered but not required. because the length of the suppressor sticks out quite a bit. When you actually get camped sit absolutely still still. Aim and stare straight ahead, any motion whatsoever and you will be spotted. Finally you need patience, you probably won’t get a Ninja Defuse on your first try but after the first it gets much easier.
