Useful Console Tricks And Scripts


On today's /r/GlobalOffensive there's a very nice post that motivated me to actually start a blog and create a summary of whatever useful tricks and lifehacks for CS:GO I come across.

My first entry is going to be about examples of useful console commands, scripts and settings you can use to enhance your gameplay experience.

I'd like to point out that I'm merely summarizing all the helpful posts I came across on Reddit. You can go there yourself and read through the posts if you want.

First of all, here's a short tutorial of the basics. If you're completely new to configs and scripts I'd recommend to read it before going on.

Alright, here we go.




(Most have to be pasted in autoexec.cfg, for others you can create a .cfg that you execute ingame)

If you don't have a perfect connection with server (packet loss or chokes)
  • Write cl_interp_ratio 2 in console.

How to be afk and not get kicked (Please only do that if you're playing with a blatant hacker)
  • +left or +right in console. -left or -right to cancel.

How to see which map you found in MM

(You need to be Lobby Leader.)
  • developer "1"
  • con_filter_enable "2"
  • con_filter_text "game:map"

How to change radar zoom levels
  • bind "KEY" "incrementvar cl_radar_scale 0.2 0.5 0.05"

How to start warmup when you're playing with bots offline
  • mp_do_warmup_offine 1
  • mp_warmup_start 1

You can throw your nades by 3 ways, not 2
  • LMB+RMB to throw nade at average distance

Disconnect with one button OR short command
  • bind "KEY" "disconnect"
  • alias "dc" "disconnect"

Show net_graph when TAB is pressed
  • alias "+scorenet" "+showscores; net_graphheight 0"
  • alias "-scorenet" "-showscores; net_graphheight 9999"
  • bind "TAB" "+scorenet"

Use arrow keys to buy grenades
  • bind "UPARROW" "buy hegrenade"
  • bind "LEFTARROW" "buy flashbang"
  • bind "DOWNARROW" "buy smokegrenade"
  • bind "RIGHTARROW" "buy molotov;incendiary"

Fast forward and pause in a demo
  • alias +demospeed "demo_timescale 4"
  • alias -demospeed "demo_timescale 1"
  • bind "KEY" "+demospeed"
  • bind "KEY" "demo_timescale 0"

Show loadout when KEY is pressed (will be hidden afterwards)
  • alias "+showload" "show_loadout_toggle"
  • alias "-showload" "show_loadout_toggle"
  • bind "KEY" "+showload" (bind ingame if it doesn't work with autoexec)

Disable intro video
  • -novid
Put this as a startparameter, you can find it here:



Doesn't freeze your deathcam anymore
  • cl_disablefreezecam 1

Show console output for player damage given/taken in top left corner

// Display Damage \\
developer "1"
con_enable "1"
con_filter_enable "2"
