RCON Commands

RCON Info
The RCON provided by Valve is currently broken and non-functional. Please use fake_rcon or follow the alternative options provided below.
PRO only
tip

If you have a Pro server, you do not need to use fake_rcon in your game’s console.

You can easily assign yourself as a server admin directly in-game on your Pro server.
