Best CS:GO Practice Config And Commands

Though you can’t use cheats in official matchmaking, you can utilize several cheat commands that will help your practice sessions become easier. Remember that these cheat commands can only be used if you are playing on your private server, as you will need admin permissions to execute them.

Here is a list of the best cheat commands you can use:

sv_cheats 1: This command will enable the use of cheats on your private server. The sv_cheats command should always be the first command you type into your console. To turn cheats off, change the numerical value of the command from 1 to 0. 

noclip: The noclip command is used to help players fly. Flying can help you get from point A to point B in an instant, which is incredibly useful when practicing grenade lineups. Additionally, you can fly through walls to get to places faster. Noclip is a toggle command, meaning you should type in the command again to turn it off. 

god: This command is used to give players “god mode,” which essentially grants them invincibility. When nocliping around the map, you might fall to your death after turning it off if you’re not careful. The god command ensures you won’t take unnecessary damage or die. 

kill: The kill command is used to suicide in game. Committing suicide when practicing can come in handy if you are stuck on a certain part of the map, especially on custom workshop maps. Alternatively, you can also use the kill command to restart a round.

When learning grenade lineups or spray patterns, it’s important to give yourself enough money to purchase all the weapons and grenades needed to get on with your training. There are commands that will give players infinite money and time to fulfill these purposes.

Here is a list of the best time and money commands you can use:

mp_roundtime_defuse 60: This is the command that will give players “infinite” round time. The mp_roundtime_defuse command will change the regular 2-minute round time to 60 minutes, essentially giving you an hour of free reign. Using this command will ensure you don’t get sent back to spawn every few minutes.

mp_freezetime 1: This command reduces the freeze time, which is the period before a round begins where all players are stuck in place. The default freeze time is set to 15 seconds, and this command changes it to 1, allowing you to move immediately when the round starts. 

mp_buytime 9999: This command changes the buy time period to 9,999 seconds, which is essentially infinite. This is the perfect command to use when practicing spray patterns of different weapons, as you can purchase a different gun any time during your practice session.

mp_buy_anywhere 1: Another useful buy command is mp_buy_anywhere. The name of the command should already hint that it enables players to open the buy menu from anywhere on the map. You no longer need to be standing on your respective spawn points to purchase new weapons. 

mp_startmoney 60000: Normally, players start the game with $800, which is why the pistol round exists. This command essentially changes your starting money to $60,000, allowing you to buy any weapon and grenade you need for practice purposes. However, this command must be paired up with the next one. 

mp_maxmoney 60000: This command changes the maximum amount of money players can carry, changing it from $16,000 to $60,000. In combination with the previous command, players will automatically start the game with more money than they can count. 

mp_warmup_end 1: When loading into a bot match, you might be greeted with the annoying 5-minute warmup timer. During the warmup phase, players cannot save their progress as they will be sent to spawn then the duration ends. This command is used to immediately end the warmup session in a second. 

mp_restartgame 1: This command is the most important one of them all. When changing round settings, the game must be restarted for these modifications to be applied. As a result, the mp_restartgame 1 command is required to save your changes. Otherwise, the primary purpose of the command is to restart a game back to 0 – 0, which is extremely helpful. 

Most players hop into a private server to practice their spray control for various weapons, or train their grenade lineups in preparation for Competitive matches. Whatever the reason is, having handy console commands for ammunition and grenades is always nice. 

Here is a list of the best ammo and grenade commands you can use:

sv_infinite_ammo 2: This command will give players on the server infinite ammunition, which includes grenades. There are three variations of the sv_infinite_ammo command. We highly recommend using the second one for practicing spray controls, as you will still need to reload.

ammo_grenade_limit_total 5: Normally, players can only carry a total of four grenades at a time. This command changes the limit, so you can now carry five grenades. Now, you will have enough room to carry all five grenades at a time. 

sv_grenade_trajectory 1: This command creates a green trail for grenades you have thrown. The trajectory trail is very useful for grenade lineup practice, as you can see the entire journey of your grenade and make adjustments using that information.

sv_grenade_trajectory_time 5: This command is used to adjust how long the trajectory trail is displayed for. In this example, we’ve set the command’s value to 5, meaning the trail will be shown for 5 seconds. You can extend the time by using a larger numerical value. 

Bots are a big question mark when it comes to practicing in Counter-Strike. If you’re looking for some individual practice such as throwing grenades, bots can get in the way and be incredibly annoying if they start shooting or blocking you. However, they can also serve as decent target practice.

Here is a list of the best bot commands you can use:

bot_kick: This command is used to remove all bots from the game. Bots can hinder practice sessions, and it is usually best to kick all of them out of the game. You can repeatedly use this command if more bots randomly spawn in. 

mp_limitteams 0: This command is used to remove the limit for each side. If this command is disabled, a random bot might spawn in the enemy team to match the number of players on your side. So, this command will prevent random bots from joining the game. 

mp_autoteambalance 0: This command is useful if you have a friend on the same server. The mp_autoteambalance command ensures that you and your friend will not get moved into different teams to balance both sides. 

bot_stop 1: Tired of having bots running around and distracting you? As the name suggests, the bot_stop command is used to freeze all bots in place. They will not be able to move or shoot their weapons, creating for some decent target practice. 

Now that we’ve discussed all of the most useful practice commands available in Counter-Strike, we can make use of a CSGO practice config to apply all these commands at once. You can copy and paste these sets of commands into your developer console to get everything done in seconds.
