Pro Server Commands

Complete command reference for CS2 Pro servers.

Admin Access Required

These commands require admin privileges. See the Admin Setup Guide for instructions on gaining admin access.

Command Usage

Every command on this page is a chat command. Type it in the in-game chat with a /, ! or . prefix, whichever you prefer. They do not work when typed straight into the developer console.

Where to Type These Commands

CS2 servers accept two kinds of commands, and mixing them up is the most common reason a command seems to be ignored.

Type	Looks like	Where to type it
Chat command	!map dust2, /map dust2, .map dust2	In-game chat (Y or U)
Console command	fake_rcon status	Developer console (`)

Chat commands accept /, ! and . interchangeably, so !ready, /ready and .ready all do the same thing. Pick whichever you prefer; this documentation uses whatever each plugin's own docs use.

The developer console is off in a fresh CS2 install. Turn it on under Settings → Game → Enable Developer Console (~). See the RCON guide for the full setup.
