sv_gravity Command: Definition and How to Use It

Back in the old days of CS 1.5 and 1.6, when the majority of matches were LAN based, it was pretty popular to adjust the gravity, allowing everyone to jump like they were on the moon, or keep them glued to the ground.

The good news is you can do it in CS:GO (CS2) too, and all you need to do is to input sv_gravity via console… and we’re going to teach you how to use it!

We are going to teach you how to change gravity in CS GO and CS2 using this command. We’ll start with a proper overview on it, explain the requirements to execute it, how to input it via console and also share examples on how to implement it.

Without anything more to add, let’s start!

Definition of the sv_gravity Command

The name of the command says it all, it’s a command you can use to adjust the gravity settings of the game. Its default value is 800, and you can adjust it accordingly: using a lower value will weaken gravity, whereas a higher value will strengthen it.

This command is available in CS:GO and CS2, bringing you the opportunity to adjust the gravity just like in the old and good days of CS 1.5 and CS 1.6.

This command requires you to enable cheat commands, but we’ll discuss it in the next section, so you can get to know the requirements you must meet to execute it.

Requirements to Use sv_gravity in CS:GO and CS2

Before you go ahead and attempt to use the command, here you have the full list of requirements:

• You must enable the developer console
• You must have admin rights because it will alter the normal settings of the server
• You must activate the use of cheat codes in the server

If you’re brand new, and you don’t know how to fulfill these requirements, here you have the steps to follow.

Enable the Developer Console

The first requirement is to enable the developer console, which you can do easily:

1. Launch CSGO
2. Go to settings
3. Click on Game
4. Find the developer console option
5. Set it to “Yes”

Now you can summon it by clicking  “~” and then you can proceed to input sv_gravity or any other command you choose, including all the other cheat codes.

Get Admin Rights

This is a non-negotiable. If you’re not the admin, you won’t be able to execute the command. Hence you need to be the admin of the match or run your own dedicated server. Otherwise you won’t be able to modify the normal gravity settings of the game.

For example, if you start a practice match with bots, you will be able to execute it. The same if you host a private Casual match with your friends, you’ll be able to use it to modify the gravity as you please to customize the gameplay experience.

Enable Cheat Codes

Before you can use the sv_gravity command, you need to enable cheat commands, here’s how you can do it:

1. Click  “~” to launch the console
2. Input “sv_cheats 1” or “sv_cheats true”
3. Press “Enter”
4. Now you can use sv_gravity and other cheat commands

Now you’re 100% ready to use the command, and the next section will explain how so you can get started ASAP.

How to Use the sv_gravity Command via Console

Just follow this easy and quick tutorial and you’ll be able to adjust the gravity as you please:

1. Click  “~” to open the console
2. Input “sv_gravity” along with your preferred argument
3. Press “Enter”
4. It will change the gravity in CS GO or CS2 automatically

Let’s say you want everyone to fly in the air any time they jump, so you’d need to use a value like “200”, resulting in the following: sv_gravity 200. Now everyone will feel like they’re playing on the moon.

If you’d like to explore more ways on how you can use this command, the next section will bring you all the information you need.

Examples

Let’s explore some of the coolest ways you can use this funny command to customize the gameplay experience of your private match.

No Gravity

To keep everyone suspended in the air if they decide to jump, you need to use “0” as the argument for the command, resulting in this: sv_gravity 0. Press Enter, and if someone dares to jump, they will remain forever in the air.

Mars Gravity

If you’d like to play like you were on Mars, you need to use “300” as the argument of the command, resulting in the following input: sv_gravity 300. Now gravity will be much stronger, making it hard to jump for everyone.

Glued to the Ground

If you want to make it impossible for everyone to jump, you can keep them glued to the ground by using “1800” as the value of the command, resulting in the following: sv_gravity 1800. Test it and you’ll see it’s no longer possible to jump.

Reset the Command

If you played around too much with the command, and you’d like to reset the gravity settings back to default, you need to use “800” as the argument, resulting in the following input: sv_gravity 800. Press “Enter” and everything will go back to normal.
