How to Kill All Bots in CS GO

If you want to kill one or all the bots in your CS:GO match, you can use the following commands:

• bot_kill: Allows you to kill all bots on your server or specified bots individually

• ent_kill: Allows you to kill bots and other entities in CS:GO

The bot_kill command is highly versatile, and if you wish to use it to kill all the bots in CS GO, you need to input it directly without any argument, just like a cvar client, and it will kill them all. Remember, this bot requires you to enable sv_cheats, as it’s considered a cheat-protected command.

You can accomplish the same with the ent_kill command, in case all the bots are in the opposing team. For example, if you’re a CT and all the Ts are bots, you can input the command like this: ent_kill @enemy. Simply input it via console and it will kill all your enemies, which for the purpose of this example, are bots. The same would happen if you were a T and the CTs were bots, using this command would kill them instantly.

It’s important to mention none of these commands will kick or ban all the bots, they will simply kill them all instantly. If you wish to kill and kick a bot, you can use the commands from this list in conjunction with the commands from the previous list.

Now you know how you can kill them all bots in CS:GO instantly, all by launching the console and inputting any of the commands from this list.

The following list will introduce you to the commands you can use to equip bots in the game with weapons, so you can further customize your gameplay experience.

If you already know the type of gameplay experience you want to design by using the bot commands on this page, you can integrate them permanently in the game, instead of having to enter them manually every time you want to play.

Here’s how you can accomplish this in easy steps:

1. Navigate to the folder where the config file will be created. You can find this folder path by going to “E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg”

2. Look for the autoexec.cfg file in the cfg folder. If you cannot find it, you can create one using your favorite text editor such as Notepad

3. Once you have the autoexec.cfg file, open it using Notepad or any text editor of your choice, so you can add your favorite CS:GO bot commands

4. In the autoexec.cfg file, you can add any CS:GO bot commands you want to be executed when you start the game. We recommend you to make a list of the commands with their respective commands in a separate text file, so you can simply copy and paste them into the configuration file

5. After adding your commands, save the autoexec.cfg file

6. Finally, when you launch CS:GO, open the developer console by pressing the “~” key. Then, type “exec autoexec.cfg” and press Enter. This will execute all of the bot commands you added to the file automatically

This simple hack will save you plenty of time, as you will be able to execute all of your favorite bot commands easily, instead of having to enter them every time you launch CS:GO.
