How do I defuse the bomb it’s impossible??

[Theo Hallsworth]

Watched so many tutorials, cut the wire it says on screen quickly before it changes then boom dead. I don’t understand please can someone help.

These are the official instructions from the dev:

How to Defuse the Bomb in Void:

• Grab a pair of wire clippers. There’s a free one in the SWAT truck.
• Open the green hatch.
• Every 5 seconds the defusal wire will switch to a different color and wire. Sometimes 2 will change.
• Cut the last newly changed colored wire before it changes. You’ll hear a higher pitched beep if it’s the correct wire.
• The longer you take to cut it and the more incorrect wires you cut, the more confusing it will become.
• Each incorrect wire cut subtracts 2 seconds from the bomb timer.
• You must make 3 successful correct wire cuts to defuse the bomb. You have 60 seconds.
• Knife spamming no longer works. If it does you're extremely lucky.

Once you get the hang of it you can solo pretty reliably, too.

I will also add that patience is your friend. If more than one wire is the color being called for wait a few seconds for the next one.

One more edit: The timer to change the color doesn't reset when you cut it. You'll often run into the color changing very quickly. It helps if the person reading waits just a moment before calling the next one.

A key thing that confused me is that there will often be more than one correct colored wire. In those cases, you have to guess between them. So there's a chance element to it. You can get it wrong, and it only trims some time off. So the key is move quickly. Don't worry about missed guesses. You just need 3 correct cuts among them, and you can afford multiple wrong cuts as long as you aren't also being slow on top of that.

When there are two of the same color I recommend being patient and wait for the next color. The next wire to change colors is the one you want to cut.

I just wait for the first color to be called out then jam my knife into that color and wiggle it around.
