CHEAT CODES CS: GO IN THE CONSOLE FOR WEAPONS, KNIVES AND TIME WITH BOTS

Send

The main CS:GO settings are available through the standard game menu. For beginners, it may be enough to use only them.

However, experienced players may be interested in fine-tuning various features. This can be done using the CS GO console commands. There are many of them and they are listed in this CS:GO guide.

What is the CS:GO Developer Console?

To create a game, developers have to write a lot of code. It defines the appearance of virtual objects, their behavior in virtuality and all aspects of the game world. Using programming code, they can do anything with any game. Developers protect their products from unauthorized intrusions - so as not to break everything they have worked so hard for. However, some developers allow a limited number of special programming commands that are able to change the game code in a certain way. This also applies to CS:GO.

Valve Corporation lists quite a few CS:GO commands, and any user can type them in a special developer console.

How to launch the CS:GO Developer Console?

First, we must enable this feature in the game menu. For this:

1. Go to the "Options -> Game Settings" menu. This menu is available through the game's initial screen ("Options" tab at the top) and through the menu during gameplay ("Esc -> Help & Options -> Game Setting").

2. Find "Enable Developer Console" in the list and click the arrows to indicate "Yes".

To launch the console in game, simply press the tilde (~) button. After that, you will be able to type any commands of the CS:GO console. If the console does not open in CSGO, you can use the following solution. Go to the following path: steamSteamAppscommonCounter-Strike Global Offensivecsgocfgconfig.cfg (sometimes configdefault.cfg), open the .cfg with any notepad, find and modify toogleconsole. As a result, you should get toogleconsole ="`". So, you know how to enable the console in CS GO.

Extended list of CS:GO console commands

While we are typing something on the console, the game suggests possible commands. This is a very handy feature for those who know exactly what to type and what the suggested commands mean. For those who don't know - here is a useful list of CSGO commands.

Read the explanations to find out what you can do with the game. You can then return to this CS:GO guide and search for a specific team. Copy it and paste it into the console, or start typing the command and select one of the autocomplete suggestions.

For your convenience, we have divided all CS:GO teams into logical groups.

Pay attention to the meanings of CS GO commands. For most of them, there is a general "0/1" rule, where "1" turns on the effect of the command, and "0" turns it off. If there are other roles for the command value, we indicate this in the list.

Commands to Improve Game Performance

If you are experiencing lag while playing CS:GO, try these commands to improve your performance. In most situations, the game adjusts itself perfectly, but sometimes additional actions will give a good effect, especially on older computers. The first three are responsible for cs go fps commands.

cl_showfps 0-5 - this CS GO FPS command enables (1) or disables (0) the CSGO show FPS indicator, this is an easy way to show fps in CSGO. If you can see how many frames per second your computer can support, you can make more accurate decisions about further settings using console commands. Use values 2-5 to display various technical information along with FPS.

fps_max 60 - Specifies the maximum frame per second (FPS) limit. The higher this value, the greater the load on your computer. Change the value "60" according to the actual power of your computer. fps_max 0 - removes the maximum fps limit. If you use the CS GO FPS command with a value of 1, it will return the previously set limit.
r_drawparticles 0 - disables many small particles in the game, reducing the load on the PC.

r_eyemove 0 - makes the eyes motionless.
r_gloss 0 - turns off the glitter of the eyes.

CS GO launch options

How to Enter Commands Before the Game Starts - CS:GO Launch Options

We can set some CS:GO options even from the Steam app so that they work in all future matches.

To do this, in Steam, right-click on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive -> Properties -> Set Launch Options. A window for entering commands will appear. Start each command with "-" (as in the list below) and leave spaces between them.

-console - opens the console immediately after the start of the match.
-novid - disables video inserts.
-high - causes the computer to give the game a high priority, so that the processor will pretty much ignore all background processes. A similar effect can be achieved by closing all other windows before launching the game.
-threads [value] - forces the computer to use the specified number of processor cores. Try to use all the cores of your computer and check the result.
-tickrate [value] - the number of information updates on the server per second (for your server, of course). Most matchmaking servers use 64. Some recommend trying 128.
-language English - sets the language for the game if you want to use a different language than in the Steam application.
-fullscreen - the game opens in full screen mode; it is easier to use the appropriate settings in the game menu.
-windowed - play CS:GO in a regular window; the command has additional options: -w [value] for width, -h [value] for height, -x [value] for x-axis, -y [value] for y-axis.
-noborder - use this command to remove the borders around the CS:GO window.

Choose the best CSGO console commands and add them to .cfg

First you need to get enough experience of playing CS:GO - in order to understand your in-game needs in practice. Then carefully study the list of commands and determine the best CSGO console commands for you in it. Why? So that you can add them to your custom CS:GO config file and have their effects active by default without having to enter them over and over again.

It is better to do this not in the standard configuration file (config.cfg), but in a separate autoexec.cfg file. This way, all your commands will be stored in one place - to quickly delete them or transfer them to another computer and have all your configurations there.

The config.cfg file can be found here - Steamuserdata[your Steam ID]730localcfgconfig.cfg.

This path is relevant for the current version of the Steam app. In some cases, config.cfg may be located here - SteamsteamappscommonCounter-Strike Global Offensivecsgocfgconfig.cfg.

Open this file with Notepad++. You will see all console commands active for your CS:GO game and will be able to edit them.

Place the autoexec.cfg file in the same folder where you found the config.cfg. First create it in Notepad++ - via a new file or by saving config.cfg with a different name and deleting all the commands in it.

So now you have an empty autoexec.cfg - just put any commands there and save the file. Note that command values must be enclosed in quotes, just like in the original config.cfg.

This is also a solution on how to autoexec for CSGO (CSGO autoexec not working) - just clear the existing file or create a new one by following the described pages and it will solve the problem.

Here are some commands to add to autoexec.cfg.

Graphics settings

mat_monitorgamma "[value]" - sets the brightness in the game. Common values are from 1.6 to 2.1. The same option is available through the settings menu.
mat_queue_mode "-1" - activates multi-core rendering.
volume "[value]" - sound volume.
snd_musicvolume "[value]" - the volume of the music in the game.
snd_headphone_pan_exponent "[value]" - loudness of distant sounds.
voice_scale "[value]" - the volume of the voices of your teammates.
voice_enable "0" - You won't hear your teammates. voice_enable "1" activates normal settings. These commands can also be useful to type on the console for a specific match. In this case, remove the quotes.
windows_speaker_config "[value]" - use this command to tell the computer which audio device you are using. Possible values are: 1 - auto-fit, 2 - headset, 3 - four speakers, 4 - two speakers and 5 - 5.1 surround.
snd_mixahead "[value]" - delay in the processing of in-game sounds. The default value is 0.1. Some players prefer 0.05, but this can be too heavy on the computer.
developer "1" - Enables a special console developer mode. In it you will see more information about the commands. This information may be redundant.

cl_autohelp "0" - cancels help messages from the game. To achieve the final result, enter two more commands: cl_showhelp "0" and player_nevershow_communityservermessage "1".
cl_disablehtmlmotd "1" - this command blocks messages from the server.
cl_autowepswitch "0" - the player character will not automatically change weapons when he is standing next to him. Can be useful in many situations. For example, you will need this feature when your character steps on a weapon while firing.
closeonbuy "1" - closes the buy menu after making one purchase.
hud_takesshots "1" - automatically takes screenshots of the scoreboard at the end of matches.
cl_forcepreload "1" - uploads objects to maps immediately after connection. This may increase download time.
cl_disablefreezecam "1" - disables freezing of the camera after death.
echo "[text]" - write any text and you will see it on the console after the start of the match. This will help check if the autoexec file is running properly.

How to bind keys in CS GO

One of the most convenient uses of the autoexec.cfg file is to bind keys to actions. By default, we have a lot of these bindings, and they are quite useful in the game. However, with experience, you may feel the need to obtain a special key for a specific action.

To do this, add the command to autoexec.cfg:

bind [key] "[action]"

Look at the top of the standard config.cfg for a list of default bindings. Use it to make your own changes.

For example, use the bind - "voice_enable 0" command to bind the "-" button to the mute command for all players in voice chat. Or bind + "voice_enable 1" to bring back a working voice chat.

The command alias opens up quite interesting possibilities for binding several actions to one key, combining different commands. It has the following structure:

alias [new command] "[command]; [command]; [command]".

Cancel commands

Using a lot of different commands can get you into a confusing situation where you want to have the default game settings but can't remember which commands to override.

If you use autoexec.cfg - just delete it all or remove some commands from it.

If you have entered commands in the CS:GO Developer Console, open the standard config.cfg file and clear it. You can also delete the entire CSGO config file - the game will create a new one by default the next time you start it.

The use of console commands in CS:GO can create conditions for success in the game. However, they cannot make you play better - it only comes with practice.
