The Best CS2 Practice Commands

To improve and rank up in Counter-Strike 2, every player must take their time to get some practice in. Most players tend to practice their grenade lineups or positioning in a private server, while others may practice in 1v1 game modes or aim training routines.

For these players to get the maximum value out of their time on the server, it is essential to understand CS2 practice commands to enhance the experience. Here is a list of all the best CS2 practice commands in the game!

Best CS2 Time And Money Commands For Practice

When practicing grenade lineups on a private server or getting your friend into a 1v1, it is best to adjust round timers and get infinite money. The default round timers and starting money will not support your practice sessions, so you should utilize the following commands:

mp_roundtime_defuse 60: extends the round time from 1 minute and 55 seconds to 60 minutes. This command is perfect for practicing your grenades, as you won’t be sent back to base every 2 minutes. 

mp_freezetime 0: changes the 15-second freeze time at the start of rounds to 0. This command is perfect for 1v1ing your friends so both of you won’t have to wait for the round to start.

mp_buytime 9999: allows players to have infinite time to buy weapons and grenades. For maximum effectiveness, it should be combined with the mp_roundtime_defuse 60 command.

mp_buy_anywhere 1: allows players to open the buy menu anywhere on the map. You no longer need to be in T or CT Spawn.  

mp_maxmoney 60000: sets the maximum money to $60,000. It should be combined with the following command for maximum effectiveness. 

mp_startmoney 60000: gives players $60,000 in starting money. This command allows you to buy anything you want from the buy menu.

mp_warmup_end 1: ends the annoying 5-minute warmup phase in every game. 

mp_restartgame 1: restarts the game. After inputting every command mentioned previously, you must type in this command as the game must be restarted to apply all commands. 

To apply all these commands at once, use this CS2 practice config provided below:

Best CS2 Cheat Commands For Practice

Counter-Strike 2 also has a handful of cheat commands that can make a practice session smoother. We will divide the cheat commands into three different categories.

Keep in mind that every command requires cheats to be enabled, which can be done by typing sv_cheats 1 into the console. Input the sv_cheats 1 command before trying anything else!

Best General Cheat Commands

Here are the most useful general cheat commands to use for practice:

noclip: allows you to fly around and pass through walls. The noclip command is a toggle command. The first time you input noclip, the command turns on, and the second time it will turn off. 

bind n “noclip”: binds the “n” key to noclip. Since it is a toggle command, you can now press the “n” key to turn noclip on and off. You can change the bound key to anything you want. 

god: enables God Mode, meaning you won’t take any damage from bullets or heights. Like noclip, god is also a toggle command. 

kill: immediately kills your own character. If you find yourself stuck on any part of the map, or want the round to end, type in the kill command. 

Best Ammo Cheat Commands

CS2 also provides cheat commands for infinite ammo and showing the impact of your bullets and where they land. 

sv_infinite_ammo 1: gives players infinite ammunition. You will have never ending ammo, allowing you to shoot forever without having to reload.

sv_infinite_ammo 2: gives players infinite ammunition to reload with. Shooting your gun will still reduce the amount of bullets, meaning you will still have to reload. 

sv_showimpacts 1: displays the impacts of the bullets you shot. This is the perfect command to use when practicing spray control on a wall. 

Best Grenade Cheat Commands

With cheat commands, you can hold up to five grenades and see the trajectory of the ones you throw. Here are the best CS2 nade practice commands. 

sv_infinite_ammo 1: allows players to have infinite grenades. You will never run out of grenades.

ammo_grenade_limit_total 5: allows players to carry 5 grenades instead of the usual 4. Now, you can carry a smoke, flashbang, molotov, HE grenade, and decoy. 

sv_grenade_trajectory 1: creates a trail of the grenade’s path after you throw it. Allows you to see how the grenades bounce and land. 

sv_grenade_trajectory_time 5: allows you to adjust the duration of the grenade trajectory command. In this example, I have set it to 5, meaning the trail will last 5 seconds. 

To apply the ammo and grenade commands at once, use this CS2 practice config provided below:

Best CS2 Bot Commands For Practice 

When joining a private server, bots will automatically be assigned to fill the empty slots. These bots can be really annoying, so we want to get rid of them with these bot commands.

bot_kick: kicks every bot from the server, so none of them will hinder your practice sessions.

mp_limitteams 0: sets the limit for each team to be 0, meaning you can play on a server yourself without having to worry about a bot spawning on the enemy team due to the team limits. 

mp_autoteambalance 0: usually, Counter-Strike will automatically balance teams. If you and a friend are on the same side, then the game will automatically balance the teams and move one of you to the opposing team. By using this command, the game will not automatically move anyone.
