Definition of the givecurrentammo Command

It is a command designed to top up ammo in CS:GO and CS2 automatically and for free. Upon inputting it via console and pressing Enter, this command will replenish all of your weapons with the maximum level of ammunition.

Given its function, givecurrentammo is part of the group of cheat-protected commands, because using it disrupts the normal mechanics of the matches, and hence brings you and anyone else who uses it an unfair advantage over the rest of players.

Unlike other commands that might top up the ammo for only a specific weapon, givecurrentammo will do it for all the weapons you currently have, making it one of the most popular cheat commands in CS:GO and CS2.

Based on its syntax rules, it’s a cvar client command, hence it doesn’t need an argument to work. Just by inputting it via console, it will execute its function, thus automatically topping up and reloading the ammo of your current weapons.

The givecurrentammo command can be used at any moment of the match, be it at the start of the game or mid-match. Therefore, you can use it to top up the ammo of your weapons when the game has just started, or to quickly reload your arsenal before it runs out of ammo.

This command is available in both CS.GO and CS2, bringing you the opportunity to use it on private servers and matches that allow the use of cheat-protected commands.

Now that you have a proper overview on what the givecurrentammo command is, we invite you to check the next section, where we will explain to you how it works.

How Does the givecurrentammo Command Work?

As we have previously mentioned, this command is a cvar client, and thus it will work without an argument. Therefore, upon inputting it via console and pressing “Enter”, the following will happen:

1. The game receives an instruction to top up the ammo of all of your weapons automatically
2. It doesn’t check your money balance since it will reload your ammo for free
3. It automatically tops up your ammunition for all of your current weapons
4. You can repeat this process as many times as you wish

As long as the private server or match has enabled the use of cheat commands, you can use givecurrentammo as many times as you wish, bringing you the power to top up the ammo of your weapons instantly and for free.

Because it doesn’t need arguments, you just need to input it as “givecurrentammo”, with no arguments. Adding a value next to it, such as “1”, “true”, or specifying a name of a weapon, will not work because givecurrentammo hasn’t been designed to work this way. If you’d like to learn more about the correct ways of using this command, we invite you to check the section “Examples on How to Use the givecurrentammo Command”.

Since it is all clear about how the givecurrentammo command works, it’s time to take action. We invite you to check the next section, where you will find a tutorial on how to input it via console step by step.

How to Input and Use the givecurrentammo Command

Now that you have a proper overview of the definition and function of givecurrentammo, it’s time to show you how to use it via console – here you have the step-by-step tutorial:

1. Hit the “~” key to open the developer console
2. Input givecurrentammo
3. Hit “Enter”
4. It will reload or top up the ammo of your current weapons

 

We consider this one of the easiest commands to use, because since it’s a cvar client, there’s no need to use and remember about different arguments. Simply input it as it is and it will work, instantly topping up your ammo in CS:GO and CS2 for free.

Activating the Developer Console

Evidently, you need to have enabled the developer console beforehand in order to use the givecurrentammo command. If you haven’t done so yet, here’s how you can do it:

1. Launch CS:GO
2. Go to the game settings
3. Find “Enable Developer Console” and set it to “Yes”
4. Now you can launch the developer console by hitting the “~” key

This is all you need to enable the developer console, allowing you to input this and other commands just by clicking the  “~” key. 

Activating Cheat-protected Commands

Now that the developer console is activated, you can use this and other commands without restrictions… However, since it’s a cheat-protected command, you need to enable sv_cheats beforehand. If you haven’t done it yet, here’s how:

1. Click the “~” key to open the console
2. Input sv_cheats 1
3. Press “Enter”
4. All the cheat commands, including givecurrentammo, will be enabled

After activating the use of cheat-protected commands in the game, you can input and execute givecurrentammo without restrictions. 

It’s also important to mention that, even though this command is cheat-protected, attempting to use it on a public match won’t get you banned. It just won’t execute, but you won’t risk a game or VAC ban in CS:GO and CS2.

If you’re going to set up your own server, and you’d like to use cheat-protected commands without restrictions, we recommend you to add “sv_cheats 1” to your autoexec.cfg or custom .cfg file. It will save you time, and additionally, you can add other cheat commands and configurations to fine tune your gameplay experience.

If you try using givecurrentammo without enabling cheat protected commands beforehand, it will not work. Also, as we have already mentioned, it’s better suited for private matches and servers where you’re the admin, because the vast majority of public matches and servers won’t allow the use of cheat commands like givecurrent ammo.

Bind the givecurrentammo Command to Top Up Ammo Effortlessly

Before we move on, it’s important to remember that it’s possible to bind the givecurrentammo command, and in fact, we advise it, as it’s the most efficient way to use it. If you’re interested in this, here’s how you can do it.

1. Click the “~” key to open the console
2. Input bind “selected-key” “givecurrentammo”
3. Press “Enter”
4. Now you can top up the ammo of your current weapons any time you click your selected key

For example, if you want to use the key “L” to execute this command, you’d need to input the following via console: bind L “givecurrentammo”. You can do the same for any key you wish to bind to the command. However, we recommend you to select a key that doesn’t interfere with the rest of the binds you might have already set up. 

For instance, if you want to use the key “M” for this command, you can follow the same steps from this tutorial and it will work without problems. Feel free to play around with different keys until you find your ideal configuration.

As you can see, it’s not complicated to create a bind for the givecurrentammo command, as it only involves 4 steps and you can do it in less than 2 minutes, so it’s worth the minimal effort.

Now every time you click your selected key, it will reload your ammo in the game automatically and for free. We recommend you to follow this approach, because you won’t have to launch the developer console and type in the command anytime you want to reload your ammo. Simply click the assigned key and it will work instantly.

However, you will have to set up this bind every time you launch the game, unless you include it in your own autoexec.cfg or custom .cfg file. Therefore, we recommend you to do it, as it’s far more efficient, and it will save you plenty of time, so you can focus on the game right off the bat.

Now you have everything you need to know to use the givecurrentammo command in CS:GO and CS2 without problems, so you can quickly top up and reload your ammunition in the game instantly and for free.
