CS:GO Commands – Game & Server Guide
CS:GO Commands – Introduction
During the heavy combat on CSGO server hosting, two teams go head to head in a battle to claim victory. In these matches, teams must either protect bomb sites and defuse the bomb on the defending team, or plant the bomb and ensure it goes off on the attacking team to win. While CS:GO’s competitive matches are usually as smooth as butter, there are often situations where maps need to be switched, team balancing changes need to be made, or a player is cheating and needs to be banned. No matter what situation you’re facing, you can handle them by using CS:GO commands.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive commands bring the power to manage, protect, and run your server into your hands to take complete control. To utilize such commands, you’ll only need admin access and a few seconds to issue the command. Then, in no time at all, you’ll be running the ultimate CS:GO server experience for you, your friends, and fellow combatants. In this guide, we will show you how to utilize commands on your own Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server!
How to Use the CS:GO Console
Before you can use CS:GO commands, you’ll need to enable the console and then give yourself admin. First, we’ll show you how to enable the CS:GO command console.
- Start the CS:GO game on your computer.
- Next, at the main menu press “Settings” and the “Game” category.
- In the Game settings, locate the “Enable Developer Console” option.
- Ensure that this option is set to “Yes” to enable the console.
- Lastly, press the “~”-key to open the console and type commands.
Becoming a CS:GO Admin on Your Server
Now that you have access to the CS:GO console, it’s time to become an admin. You can follow these steps to become an admin on your own CS:GO server:
- Firstly, go to your CS:GO server webinterface and stop your server.
- Next, to the left under “Settings”, press the “General” option.
- Within your General server settings, locate the “Rcon password” option.
- If a password isn’t set, add one and then press “Save changes”.
- After confirming a password is set, copy that password and start your server.
- Thereafter, start CS:GO, join your server, and open console with the “~”-key.
- Lastly, type the command “rcon_password PASSWORD”, inputting the Rcon Password that you set on your server.
You can now start using CS:GO commands to manage your game server!
