All Console Commands for CS2

What is the number of settings in CS2 that can be changed via the game menu? There are significantly more than in CS:GO, but it still doesn’t cover all available gameplay settings.

The developer console provides the most complete range of tools for configuring game mechanics, performance metrics, and additional features, where you can enter commands that directly control the game settings.

You can read about how to open the developer console, what problems can arise and how to solve them in a separate article, and then we will consider the purpose of the input commands, features of their use and existing varieties.

What Console Commands are Needed for

The purpose of console commands is to change CS2 configuration parameters immediately after entering a command responsible for a particular parameter and having specific arguments.

Knowing the set of console commands, you can change game mechanics directly during fights or in between them, by quickly entering them

Peculiarities of Using CS2 Console Commands

The specifics of using commands activated through the developer console are as follows:

• Input should be done sequentially or using a delimiter character (semicolon);
• The rules of writing some commands stipulate the use of “-” or “+” at the beginning;
• To change game mechanics (cheats), the set of commands must be executed after entering “sv_cheats 1“, which activates this feature;
• The use of commands that artificially improve the game capabilities of the character is contrary to the rules of competition in CS2 and may lead to the ban of the account.
