How to set up a practice server in Counter-Strike 2, step-by-step Guide

Counter-Strike 2, although in its limited testing phase, offers a fresh perspective on the iconic FPS series. Drawing elements from its predecessor, CS: GO, it promises an improved experience. This guide provides an ideal practice setup for players eager to sharpen their skills.

How to make a practice server in CS2?

A guide to configuring a practice environment in Counter-Strike 2 using the .cfg file, perfect for mastering grenade throws. In CS2, this is super easy as it provides you with video footage of the path and grenade trajectory once thrown.

Config File and its right path

Here’s the config you need (make sure you copy-paste this into a notepad). After you finish that, go to folder options and ensure you see file extensions, or in Explorer, go to View -> Show -> Show file name extensions. Important is to make sure that the file extension is .cfg at the end. You can name it however you want, but let’s name it practice.cfg.

echo “Practice Config Executed!”

Firstly, ensure the practice.cfg is in the correct directory:

  • Navigate to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike 2\game\cs2\cfg.
  • Place the practice.cfg file here.

Boot-up and execute the config on Counter-Strike 2 

  • Launch Counter-Strike 2 from your Steam library.
  • Open the console (typically the ‘~‘ key).
  • Type map de_inferno or map map de_overpass (applies for all maps) and click enter.
  • Once it starts, pick up a team.
  • Open console and type exec practice and hit Enter.

Bind Noclip so you can fly around the map

For a reference: bind <key> [command] : attach a command/inputvalue to a key. In our case, we’ll need: bind “keybind” noclip.

Open the console and type:
bind MOUSE4 noclip
bind ALT noclip

This will allow you to roam around the map once pressed.

That’s about it. This covers everything you need to start a practice server on your own.
