List Of The Best CS2 & CS:GO Binds

Here are five general binds that will significantly improve your movement capabilities, performance, and information-gathering skills. 

Scroll Wheel Jump Bind

One of the most popular binds in the game is the scroll wheel jump bind, also known as the mouse wheel jump. For this bind, you are essentially making your scroll wheel issue a jump command.

This bind is especially useful for bunny hopping. When trying to bunny hop on Valve’s clunky 64 tick servers, players find it very hard to time their jumps properly with the space bar, as they are only issuing one jump action at a time.

However, by binding the jump action to the scroll wheel, they can issue 5 to 7 jump actions per scroll, giving them a higher rate of success to land a bunny hop in time. 

Some professional players are so used to this bind that they would never use their space bar to jump anymore. This is why you might see some players accidentally jump in the middle of a gunfight. 

The bind command for the scroll wheel jump is: 

bind mwheelup +jump; bind mwheeldown +jump; bind space +jump

Clear Decals Bind

This next bind is very useful for players who are on low-performing gaming setups. The clear decals bind is used to erase player-made visual effects, such as blood splatters and graffiti sprays.

These visuals on walls can reduce a player’s performance by a decent margin, causing FPS drops from time to time. Additionally, smart enemy players could take advantage of them and play in front of a blood splatter to make themselves look less visible.

In general, these visuals do not provide players with too much information, except giving them confirmation that they’ve hit an enemy player. Pressing the clear decals bind will erase every decal on the map every time you click the button.

The bind command for clearing decals is: 

bind <button> “r_cleardecals”

Noclip Toggle Bind

The next bind command is very useful in practice sessions on a private server. The noclip toggle bind command is a cheat command that can only be activated on private servers where “sv_cheats 1” is enabled, meaning it won’t work on official Valve servers.

When playing on a private server, players are usually practicing or playing mini games such as surf or bunny hop maps. Sometimes, flying around the map is necessary to save time or skip certain levels.

The noclip command allows players to fly and go through walls, and is a toggle command meaning you will re-type the command to turn it on and off. So, the noclip toggle bind allows players to turn noclip on and off without having to open the console all the time. 

The noclip toggle bind command is: 

bind <button> “sv_cheats 1; noclip”

Quick-Switch Bind

The quick-switch bind in Counter-Strike allows players to switch to their knife and back to the weapon they were just holding. This is exceptionally useful for players using sniper rifles such as the AWP or SSG 08. 

After firing a shot, they can switch to their knife to run away and take cover, and then switch back to their primary weapon once they are ready to fire again.

The quick-switch bind command is:

bind <button> “+switchw”

It is most popularly set to the “Q” key for easy access.

Radar Zoom Bind

The radar zoom bind is a relatively complicated one, but is very useful. The radar is an important tool to gather information as enemy players and teammates will be moving around it. 

In retake situations, you can zoom in your radar to have a better view of the bomb site, giving you more precise information of where exactly an enemy player is. In the middle of rounds, you can zoom out your radar to have a better look at the situation of the entire map. 

The radar zoom bind command is:

bind <button> “incrementvar cl_radar_scale 0.25 1.0 0.05”

bind <button> “incrementvar cl_radar_scale 0.25 1.0 -0.05”

Grenades play a crucial role in how Counter-Strike is played, as they serve various purposes to shift the state of rounds. Ensuring you have appropriate binds for them is essential.

Jump Throw Bind

The jump throw bind is the most-used grenade-related bind in the entire game. Experienced players tend to use grenade lineups that allow them to throw effective utility without exposing themselves to enemy line of sight.

However, most of the advanced grenade lineups require players to throw the grenade while jumping. The timing window to perform a perfect jump throw is slim, and players might miss the timing from time to time. 

The jump throw bind ensures that you won’t miss the timing as the game will perform these two actions for you with one click of a button.

The jump throw bind command is: 

alias “+jumpaction” “+jump”; alias “+throwaction” “-attack; -attack2”; alias “-jumpaction” “-jump”; bind <button> “+jumpaction;+throwaction;”

More Grenade Throw Binds

There are other lineups that require you to perform several actions, similar to the jump throw. Here are three more grenade throw binds you might find useful:

Run Throw

The run throw is generally pretty easy to land, but some players struggle with it.

The run throw bind command is: 

bind <button> “+forward;-attack;-forward”

Run Jump Throw

The run jump throw requires players to perform three actions simultaneously, which can be pretty difficult.

The run jump throw bind command is:

alias “+RunJumpThrow” “+forward; +jump;-attack”; alias “-RunJumpThrow” “-forward;-jump”; bind <button> “+RunJumpThrow”

Crouch Jump Throw

The crouch jump throw is another difficult sequence to pull off, but is required for difficult lineups such as the Mirage Window smoke and Jump Throw can be binded if needed.

The crouch jump throw bind command is: 

alias “+hjump” “+jump; +duck”; alias “-hjump” “-jump; -duck”; bind “space” “+hjump”

Grenade Crosshair Bind

Some complicated lineups will require players to use straight lines to aim their crosshairs appropriately. They are usually finding the middle-point of two details to get it right. Having the “grenade crosshair” will extend the lines of your crosshair and cover up the whole screen to help you adjust easily.

The grenade crosshair bind command is:

bind <button> “toggle cl_crosshairsize # 1000”

Here, make sure to change the “#” to your current crosshair size. If you are playing with a size 2 crosshair, change the “#” to “2”. 

Individual Binds For Each Grenade

It is the worst feeling when you are looking to pull out a specific nade, but can’t scroll your mouse properly and die while trying. This is a prevalent issue for a lot of Counter-Strike players, but it can be fixed by dedicated keys to each grenade. 

We highly recommend having a bind for the smoke grenade and flashbang, at least.

Here are the different bind commands for each grenade in the game:

bind <button> “use weapon_flashbang”

bind <button> “use weapon_smokegrenade”

bind <button> “use weapon_molotov; use weapon_incgrenade”

bind <button> “use weapon_hegrenade”

One of the best aspects of Counter-Strike is teamwork, where players are communicating and collaborating with each other to achieve the same goal – winning a game. However, the reality is that Counter-Strike is usually filled with toxic players and trash talkers.

Fortunately, there are audio and mute binds players can use to have a more enjoyable time playing Counter-Strike. 

Voice Mute Bind

Clutching in Counter-Strike requires a lot of focus and concentration. The last thing you want is a teammate backseating and yelling at your every move. These people are incredibly annoying, and usually do not help in the situation.

Players can set up a voice chat mute bind, which can disable all incoming voice messages from teammates with one click of a button. So, if you are entering a clutch, this is the bind you’re looking for.

After you would like to hear your teammates again, you can hit the same button and turn voice chat on again. 

The voice mute bind command is: 

bind <button> “voice_modenable_toggle”

Audio Deafen Toggle Bind

Most players like playing Counter-Strike with very loud audio settings so they can hear every little footstep and gain the upper hand. However, many also like to go on their phones and scroll through TikTok after they have died.

Since they are no longer playing in the round, some players prefer not to communicate and zone out for a bit. There is the audio deafen toggle bind that allows players to mute all in-game audio until the button is pressed again.

So, this bind is perfect if you want to watch videos on your phone without listening to gunshots at max volume. 

The audio deafen toggle bind command is:

bindToggle p “volume 0.4 0.01”

You can change the first decimal value to the volume you currently play on. If you are on 70% volume, use “0.7”.

Mute Text Chat And Radio Bind

Other than players who yell into their microphones, there are other annoying ones who like spamming radio commands to get to your head. Others just spam the chat with slurs and trash talk, which can also get into your nerves.

Fortunately, there is a bind that allows you to mute all text chat and incoming radio signals to help with your peace of mind. Like the previous commands, this is a toggle bind, meaning you can press it a second time to turn it back on. 

The mute text chat and radio bind command is:

bind <button> “ignorerad; ignoremsg;”

Increase Volume While Walking Bind

Information is key in Counter-Strike, and footsteps are one of the best ways to identify where enemy players are at. However, most Counter-Strike players might miss footsteps if the enemy player is far away due to low audio.

This is an interesting bind command where you can set your game to increase your audio while you are walking, which means holding the Shift key. There is a high chance you are not engaging in fights while walking, so increasing the audio can help you gather information and assess your next move.

The increase volume while walking bind is:

alias +shiftVolume “incrementvar volume 0 1 0.55;+speed”; alias -shiftVolume “incrementvar volume 0 1 -0.55;-speed”; bind shift +shiftVolume

You might have agreed to most of the binds we’ve provided above, but if you’re a total beginner, there’s a decent chance you might not understand how you can apply these binds to your game. 

Enable Developer Console

To set a Counter-Strike bind, you must first enable the developer console:

1. Launch Counter-Strike 2 and go to your Settings menu.
2. Here, go to your “Game” category. 
3. The first setting that shows up should be called “Enable Developer Console”.
4. Next to the setting, change “No” to “Yes”.
5. To open the console, press your “~” key. 

Copy And Paste The Commands

Now that you have successfully enabled the console, the last thing to do is to paste the commands into it. 

Keep in mind that we did not suggest a keyboard button for the binds above, so it is up to you to decide which key you would like to link the binds to. 

Once you have figured it out, change the “<button>” to the key you would like. For example, you would type in “c” if you want a bind to be set to your C key.
