Best CS2 Practice Config And Commands

Are you trying to get better at CS2 and looking for the best way to perfect your gameplay? Making a personalized practice setup is a game-changer. You need it when you want accurate grenade tosses, improve in shooting or simply run through all maps to discover fresh tactics. Everything you need to know about CS2 practice config is here for you.

Basic List of Commands for the CS2 Config File

CS2 Config File

A CS2 config file preruns all commands once you start your practice session. Because you don’t have to put out the same commands repeatedly saving time. You can load everything with a single command, and it’s simple to set up. Here’s how you set everything up:

1. Open Notepad or any text editor.

  • Add these commands to the file:
  • sv_cheats 1 – Allows all commands to run.
  • mp_warmup_end – Ends the warmup phase immediately.
  • mp_roundtime 60 – Extends the round time to 60 minutes so you can practice without limits.
  • sv_infinite_ammo 1 – Gives unlimited ammo so you don’t have to reload constantly.
  • sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_pipreview 1 – Shows the trajectory of your grenades when holding to throw them.

2. Save the file as practice.cfg in this folder:

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

3. When you’re in CS2, enable and launch your console and type exec practice.cfg. That’s it, your commands will load instantly, and you’re ready to go.

If creating a config file feels like too much work, don’t worry, you can still set up a practice session manually in the game:

  1. Open CS2 and click Play from the main menu.
  2. Select Practice, then choose a game mode and map.
  3. There are options available for a Grenade Camera, Infinite Ammo, and Warmup available. Enable these so you don’t have to use commands.
  4. After the game starts, use the console key bind and start entering commands like:
  • mp_roundtime 60 – Extends the round duration to 60 minutes so you can practice more mechanics.

This is a quick way to get started without needing extra files.

These CS2 practice commands will be handy when you’re in the training session.

Open your console and start typing:

  • mp_restartgame 1 – Restarts the round immediately, resetting all objects like doors and glass.
  • noclip – This lets you fly around the map and pass through walls for exploring or testing lineups.
  • sv_showimpacts 1 – Highlights bullet impacts so you can adjust your aim or spray patterns more effectively.
  • sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_pipreview 1 – Shows grenade landing spots before throwing them—perfect for practicing smokes and flashes.
  • sv_rethrow_last_grenade – Rethrows the last grenade you threw without needing to do it yourself.
  • Bot_kick – removes all the bots in the game for more practice alone.

These commands are great for practicing everything from aim to utility usage.

Binding a Key for your CS2 Commands

Binding a Key for your CS2 Commands

Typing CS2 practice commands over and over can get annoying fast, but there’s an easy solution, key bindings! You can assign specific commands to keys so they’re just one press away:

  • Open the console and type:

bind “key” “command” (e.g., bind “v” “noclip”).

This makes it much faster to activate commands like noclip or grenade rethrows while practicing.

I’ve been gaming since before I could properly tie my shoes, which might explain why I can nail a mid-lane gank in Dota 2 but still trip over shoelaces on occasion. With over 12,000 hours in Dota 2, I’ve probably spent more time defending the Ancient than I have doing anything remotely “productive,” unless you count explaining to my team why “mid or feed” is a valid strategy. When I’m not casting spells or clashing swords in Assassin’s Creed (I like to think I’d make a decent assassin in another life), I’m likely trying to save my team in Fortnite or squeeze in a quick game of Padel to balance out all those hours in front of a screen. Writing about video games was a natural career choice—someone had to make sure Dota players got some representation, after all. Over the past decade, I’ve cranked out close to 10,000 articles for some of the biggest names in gaming journalism, covering everything from meta shake-ups to the eternal mystery of why my support always forgets to buy wards. When I’m not typing, playing, or yelling at my screen, I’m usually watching anime and dreaming of a life where respawns are real.
