Welcome to our Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) console commands guide. To help players enhance their gaming experience, the game offers a wide range of console commands. These commands can be used to adjust various in-game settings, such as graphics, network, and game play options. In this list, we will provide a comprehensive overview of some of the most commonly used CS:GO console commands that can help you to customize and optimize your game play. Let’s begin.
Nomenclature
Ok, since we’re dealing with a developer console, there’s a language to it as well. For example the command nomenclature for the map command is:
map <map code>
The <map code> is variable, you may change it to whatever you need to.
Example:
map de_dust2
NOTE: in commands like banid <minutes> {message}, the variable inside the {} is optional, the command will work without it!
How to enable the developer console
To enable the console you have to follow these steps:
- 1 – Open the options menu
- 2 – Open “Game Settings”
- 3 – Toggle “Enable Developer Console(~)”
Now that the console is enabled all you have to do to get it open is pressing the “~” on your keyboard, that key changes its place on every keyboard language settings, on english keyboards, it positions itself below the escape key.
Loading Maps
map <map code>
To load maps using the console you may use the “map” command.
Example: map de_dust2
What are the “map codes”?
Valve’s dev console has an autocomplete function, so you just need to type in the console “map ” and all possible maps will be listed. You can use the keyboard arrow keys to navigate through the maps.
NOTE: Maps that end with “_se” are modified versions of the maps that were created for competitive play by removing dust particles, unwanted sounds, etc.
NOTE²: Maps that start with “de_” are defuse and demolition maps, maps that start with “cs_” are hostage maps, maps that start with “ar_” are arms race maps and maps that start with “gd_” are guardian maps.

Bind and Alias Commands
bind <key> <commands>
alias <name> <commands>- bind – (binds commands to a key on the keyboard or mouse. You have to use ; to separate commands.)
Example:

Note: The quotes are only necessary if you want to use more than 1 command.
alias – with this commands you can make your own commands by combining other commands.
