mp_maxmoney Command Help & Examples

Did you know that you can control the maximum amount of money each user can have at once  in CS:GO and CS2 matches? You can do this by using the mp_maxmoney command, which enables you to adjust the economic settings of your server and matches to suit your preferences precisely.

Be it that you want users to have a maximum of 60,000 money, or as little as 1,000, you can do it thanks to the max money CSGO command.

We will introduce you to this command, teach you how to input it via the console and bring you practical examples on how you can use it.

What is the mp_maxmoney Command?

It is a command that allows you to set the maximum amount of money each player can have at once in CS:GO and CS2. Its argument is the maximum amount of money you want to set, and the values range from 0 to 65,535, and the default value is 16,000. This is why it’s also widely known as the max money CSGO command.

When you enter the command as follows, mp_maxmoney 0, it sets the maximum money for all players to zero simultaneously. While it offers flexibility, there are technical limitations to consider: it’s impossible to allocate more than 65,535 money. For example, if you type in the command mp_maxmoney 70000, it simply won’t work.

It’s worth noting that this command doesn’t require you to activate sv_cheats 1 beforehand. You input it via the console directly and it will have immediate effect.

This feature allows server hosts and admins to finely adjust the economic dynamics of matches. By limiting the purchasing power of players, you can effectively control the difficulty level of the gameplay, whether you aim to intensify or ease the overall experience.

It’s also available for you in private matches against bots. You can use it for training in order to forget about the economic limitations of the game by assigning as much money as you need. However, it’s forbidden on most servers and online matches.

As shown, it’s a multi-faceted command that allows you to customize the gameplay from the economic side. As such, it’s one of the most popular commands in CS:GO and CS2 for private matches, both online and LAN.
