Every Counter-Strike player has heard of console commands. You can use them to immediately apply settings or changes during the game. Most of the commands in CS2 are slightly different than in CS:GO, which is why we have created a complete table with all current commands.
Change key assignment via the console
Using the console and the "bind" command, you can assign a specific action to any key.
For example, you want to assign the "noclip" command to the "P" key. Use the command for this:
- bind P "noclip"
If you want to assign several actions to one button, you must separate the actions with a semicolon (;).
- bind P "sv_cheats 1"; "noclip"
If you want to activate or deactivate the action with the same key, use "toggle" and "0" in the command.
- bind P "toggle noclip 0"
Important key assignments for the Competitive mode
We also have some important button assignments (binds) for competition mode.
| bind B "use weapon_knife; use weapon_c4; drop; slot1" | Drop a bomb at the touch of a button |
| alias "+hjump" "+jump; +duck"; alias "-hjump" "-jump; -duck"; bind f "+hjump" | Crouch-Jump bind |
| alias +qsw "slot3";alias -qsw "lastinv";bind "G" +qsw | Quick change to knife for AWP players |
| bind "KP_plus" "incrementvar cl_radar_scale 0.25 1.0 0.05" | increases the radar scale |
| bind "KP_minus" "incrementvar cl_radar_scale 0.25 1.0 -0.05" | reduces the radar scale |
Tip: The Jumpthrow no longer needs to be bound in CS2, as Valve's timing has been adjusted and made much easier in CS2.
