List of Commands for a Config file

If you want to create a config file that instantly places all the useful commands, open Notepad and copy paste these commands:

sv_cheats 1
bot_kick
mp_freezetime 0
mp_team_intro_time 0
cl_versus_intro 0
buddha 1
buddha_reset_hp 100
mp_ignore_round_win_conditions 1
sv_infinite_ammo 1
sv_showimpacts 1
mp_buy_anywhere 1
mp_buytime 9999
mp_maxmoney 100000
mp_startmoney 100000
ammo_grenade_limit_total 6
sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_pipreview 1
sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_trailtime 4
mp_respawn_on_death_t 1
mp_respawn_on_death_ct 1
mp_restartgame 1

Save the file as a .cfg and place it in this filepath:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg

Make sure to save it with the .cfg file extension. Make sure it's not 'practice.cfg.txt'.

Then in-game, type in 'exec practice' or 'exec practice.cfg'. Either of them will work.

Load the Server WITHOUT a Config file

If you don't want to bother with a config file, simply using the menu in-game is the best way to skip 90% of the commands.

Step-by-step:

• Click Play
• Select Practice
• Select Casual
• Go to the side bar and toggle on: Grenade Camera, Infinite Ammo, Infinite Warmup
• Select the map you want
• Go

Just by doing these steps, you won't have to input a lot of the basic commands. It'll kick the bots, handle infinite ammo, ensure that the round doesn't end, etc.

Useful commands in-game

Once you're in the server, these commands will come in handy as you're doing things:

• sv_cheats 1 - Gives you access to more commands
• bot_kick - Kicks all the bots
• mp_restartgame 1 - Restarts the round; restores glass and doors
• noclip - Allows you to fly around the map and go through walls
• sv_showimpacts 1 - A red marker appears where every bullet lands
• sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_pipreview 1 - Shows you where your grenade lands before throwing it
• sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_trailtime 4 - Shows you the trajectory of your grenade after its thrown for 4 seconds
• buddha 1 - Turns on "god mode." Once your HP reaches 0, your HP is reset to the value of buddha_reset_hp
• buddha_reset_hp 100 - Resets your HP back to 100 once you go below 0
• sv_rethrow_last_grenade - Throws your last grenade without having to throw it yourself

You may find that you're inputting these commands one at a time. You can put them in all at once by separating each command by semi-colons. Here's how you'd do that:

sv_cheats 1; bot_kick; sv_showimpacts 1; mp_buy_anywhere 1

Bind a command

You might find it useful to setup a keybind for certain commands to avoid going to the console. noclip and sv_rethrow_last_grenade are great examples of commands that should be bound. Using the console, type:

bind <key> "noclip"

Where <key> is any button you want. I like using "n", so the command would look like:

bind "n" "noclip"

Remove smokes instantly

You've likely run into the situation where you're constantly waiting for a smoke to clear before throwing the next one. This command removes the smoke, so you don't have to wait:

This also works with molotovs. Replace the smokegrenade_projectile with inferno:

Add bots

Adding a bot is useful for checking shadows or what specific positions actually look like. Here's how you do it:

• bot_stop 1 - Ensures the bots don't move
• bot_add - Adds a bot to the game
• bot_place - Moves the bot to where you're looking
