Every Counter-Strike player has heard of console commands. They let you instantly apply settings or make changes while you're playing. Most commands in CS2 are a bit different from those in CS:GO, which is why we've put together a complete list of all the current commands.
Change key assignments via the console
Using the console and the „bind“ command, you can assign a specific action to any key.
For example, let's say you want to assign the „noclip“ command to the „P“ key. To do this, use the following command:
- bind P “noclip”
If you want to assign multiple actions to a single key, you must separate the actions with a semicolon (;).
- bind P “sv_cheats 1”;“noclip”
If you want to enable or disable the action using the same key, use „toggle“ and „0“ in the command.
- bind P “toggle noclip 0”
Important key assignments for Competitive mode
In addition, we have a few important key bindings 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 blade for AWP players |
| bind "KP_plus" "incrementvar cl_radar_scale 0.25 1.0 0.05" | increases the radar range |
| 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.
