sv_maxvelocity

If you want to customize the settings of your server, this time by defining the maximum speed moving objects can reach in the game, you need to use the sv_maxvelocity command. Also known as the CSGO velocity command, on this page you’re going to learn what it is, how to use it and also check real examples on how it’s implemented.

What is the sv_maxvelocity Command?

Let’s start by explaining all about its syntax, so we can move forward and let you know everything about this command.

Syntax of the sv_maxvelocity Command

The command is “sv_maxvelocity” and it needs an argument to work, hence using it as a cvar client will not fly. It only accepts numeric arguments, and as we are going to see in the next subsection, you can play around with a large array of values to customize the maximum speed of moving games in the game.

Default Value of the sv_maxvelocity Command

The default value of the command is 3500, which is the standard maximum velocity for all moving objects in the game. To increase the maximum speed, you need to input a value greater than the default, and to decrease it, you must input a lower value.

For example, if you want to make the objects reach a slightly higher maximum velocity, you can use 3800 as the argument for the sv_maxvelocity command. Similarly, if you wish to reduce the maximum velocity of moving objects by a small margin, you can use “3200” as the argument for the command.

At the end of this page, you will find 7 examples on how to implement this command, so you can explore different arguments and their respective effects in the game.

Purpose of the Command

The purpose of the command is to set the maximum speed moving objects can reach in the game, which allows you to customize the gameplay experience your server will offer. As we have previously mentioned, you can either decrease or increase this setting, according to your preferences.

It is worth noting that the velocity provided by the sv_maxvelocity command will override any other type of configuration. Therefore, it’s the ultimate way of setting maximum velocity for moving objects in the game.

Does It Also Set the Maximum Velocity for Players?

No, it won’t set the maximum velocity for players, as it has been strictly designed to alter the maximum speed moving objects can reach. For this purpose, you need to use a similar command known as “sv_maxspeed”, but this is a subject for another guide.

Once we have finished it, we recommend you to visit the page for the sv_maxspeed command, as it will allow you to fine tune even more settings of your server, to deliver an ideal gameplay experience for everyone.

Is sv_cheats Necessary?

No, you don’t have to set sv_cheats to “1” to use this command. You can use it normally as long as you have admin rights, as it’s going to alter the normal configuration of the server.

However, it’s worth noting you will have to activate sv_cheats if you want to use it in conjunction with other commands to achieve results such as the auto bunny hop. In this case, you will have to set it to “1”, so you can make it work along with commands such as sv_airaccelerate and sv_accelerate_use_weapon_speed.

Available in CS:GO and CS2

This command is available for CS:GO and CS2. Therefore, regardless if you’re hosting a CSGO or CS2 match, you can use this command and it will take effect in all the available game modes, successfully setting the maximum speed for all moving objects in the game.

How to Use the sv_maxvelocity Command

Here is how you can use this command to alter the peak speed moving objects can reach in CS:GO and CS2:

• Press the “~” key to launch the developer console

• Decide the value you will use as an argument for the command

• Input in sv_maxvelocity “X”

• Press enter

• The configuration of the game will change automatically

All you need to do now is to replace “X” for the maximum speed you want objects to reach in the game. If you want it to be faster than standard, use a value greater than 3500 such as 4000, and if you want it to be slower, go below the standard with a number such as 2800, which would result in the following commands: sv_maxvelocity 4000 and sv_maxvelocity 2800 respectively. You can test these examples via console, so you can start seeing how you can manipulate the top speed for moving objects easily.

If you would like to check more examples on how this command is implemented, below you will find more information so you can start using it.

Examples on How to Use the sv_maxvelocity Command

Here you have real examples on how to implement this command, to customize the maximum velocity moving objects can reach in the game, so you can start using it properly to achieve your desired results.

Set the Maximum Velocity for Moving Objects 10% Slower

If you want to reduce this setting by a small margin, you can go ahead and adjust it by -10%, which would result in the following command you can input via console: sv_maxvelocity 3150. Now the peak velocity for moving objects in CS:GO and CS2 will be reduced by 10%.

Set the Maximum Velocity for Moving Objects 50% Slower

For a more drastic result, if you want to reduce the maximum speed by a larger margin, you can go ahead and use the following argument for the command: sv_maxvelocity 1750. Now you will notice a remarkable change in the top speed moving objects can reach in the game.

Set the Maximum Velocity for Moving Objects 75% Slower

If you want to make moving objects even much slower, you can opt for reducing their top velocity by 75%. Therefore, you’d need to use the command like this: sv_maxvelocity 875. Immediately, the command will take effect and change the top speed for moving objects automatically, allowing you to see the results right off the bat.

Set the Maximum Velocity for Moving Objects 10% Faster

If you want to start playing around with a faster top speed for moving objects, you can increase it by 10%, as all you need to do is to use the command this way: sv_maxvelocity 3850. Automatically, you will be able to notice a subtle difference.

Set the Maximum Velocity for Moving Objects 50% Faster

If you want to see a drastic change, you need to go ahead and increase the default value by 50%. Hence, you need to use the command like this: sv_maxvelocity 5250. Now you will be able to see how moving objects can reach much more speed in the game.

Set the Maximum Velocity for Moving Objects 100% Faster

If you want to see the moving objects fly, you need to go a bit crazy and double down on the default value of the command. Hence, you need to use it like this: sv_maxvelocity 7000. Immediately, you will increase the maximum velocity for moving objects by 100% faster, allowing you to see a more drastic result.

Reset the sv_maxvelocity Command back to Default

If you have played around too much with the command, and now you want to revert the changes, you need to reset the command back to default. Therefore, you need to enter it like this via console: sv_maxvelocity 3500. The command will execute automatically, allowing you to play with the standard settings of the game.
