If you feel like the warmup is not useful for you and the other players in your match, this guide is for you. Because we’re going to teach you how to end warmup CS:GO easily, even if you have never tried editing the settings of the game before.
We’ll also show you how to skip warmup CS:GO and also how to use the CS:GO end warmup command, so you can get rid of this once for all.
How to End Warmup in CS:GO with a Command
The easiest and quickest way to end warmup in CS:GO is by using the command. And before you can do it, evidently, you need to enable the developer console. Here’s how:
- Launch CS:GO
- Go to Settings
- Go to Game
- Go to Enable Developer Console and set it to “Yes”
- Now you can launch the console by clicking “~”
Now that the developer console is ready, here’s how you can input the CS:GO warmup command easily:
- Press the “~” key
- Input mp_warmup_end
- Press Enter
Immediately, the system will shut down the warmup for your match, and proceed to the main game.
You don’t really need to do anything else besides this, just input this command when you feel like you want to start the match, be it right at the beginning or after a few players join. Simple.
You can leave now, because we have already answered your question. However, if you want to learn more, such as how to end the warmup in specific situations, such as when enough players have joined it, and how to end it automatically after a fixed period of time, we invite you to keep reading.
How to Skip the CS:GO Warmup Automatically
If you want to end the warmup automatically, and get straight into action, here’s how you can use it:
- Press the “~” key
- Input mp_warmuptime 0
- Press Enter
Here we are using the mp_warmuptime command, and instead of using a regular value for the argument, expressed in seconds, we have used 0, which will force the game to skip the warmup automatically.
However, if you want to skip the CS:GO warmup after a fixed time, for example 30 seconds, here’s how you can do it:
- Press the “~” key
- Input mp_warmuptime [your preferred time expressed in seconds]
- Press Enter
For example, if you’d like to warm up to finish after 30 seconds, regardless of how many players have joined the match, you’d need to use “30” as the argument, resulting in the following: mp_warmuptime 30.
Likewise, if you wanted to finish it shortly after 10 seconds, you’d need to use “10” as the argument, resulting in this: mp_warmuptime 10.
Now you know how to end the warm up automatically, or after a fixed time, all thanks to another useful command: mp_warmuptime. This will help you to get rid of the need of having to input the mp_warmup_end command every time you want to skip this stage, as it will do it instantly based on a single variable.
In the next section, we will teach you how to end warm up after a fixed number of players have joined the match, so you can start the action as soon as you want to.
How to End the CS:GO Warm Up Based on Player Count
If you want end the warm up in CS:GO after a fixed number of players have joined the match, all you need to do is to follow this quick tutorial:
- Press the “~” key
- Input mp_endwarmup_player_count [your preferred number of players]
- Press Enter
For example, if you want to end the warm up as soon as 4 players join the match, you need to use “4” as the argument, resulting in the following: mp_endwarmup_player_count 4.
Likewise, if you want to start it when 6 players join it, you need to use “6” as the argument, resulting in this: mp_endwarmup_player_count 6.
You can play around with different values, to make sure you can end the warm up whenever you wish to, basing the decision on a fixed number of players. And if you don’t want to enter the mp_warmup_end command every single time, this is a solid alternative as it will make the process automatic.
You can also use this command to skip the warm up automatically, and in this case, you’d need to use “1” as the argument, resulting in this: mp_endwarmup_player_count 1. As soon as you join the match, the game will end the warm up automatically, and the rest of the players will be able to start playing normally right off the bat.
Therefore, if you want an alternative to the mp_warmuptime command for finishing the warm up automatically in CS:GO, now you can use the mp_endwarmup_player_count command and it will work just fine.
So far now, we have just been talking about online matches. However, if you want to use these commands for offline matches with friends or bots, below you will find the information you need, so you can get rid of this stage whenever you wish to.

If you want to get rid of this phase, so everyone in your offline match can start playing right off the bat, regardless of the game mode, you need to use this command and argument: mp_do_warmup_offline 0. Just press Enter and it will work, instantly.
You can input this command at any stage of the warm up, be it as soon as it begins, after some time or when some players have joined the match.
If, for any reason, you want to restore the warmup, all you need to do is to input the command like this: mp_do_warmup_offline 1. Press Enter, and it will introduce the warm up as usual, back to 10-15 seconds.
