How to Control Bots in CS2 – Easy Console Commands for Beginners

🔓 Step One: Enable Cheats

bashCopyEditsv_cheats 1

This command unlocks full bot control and other developer tools. Just type it into the developer console (make sure it's enabled in your game settings first).

👥 Adding and Removing Bots

Here’s how to summon or remove bots with ease:

Add bots:

bashCopyEditbot_add

Add Terrorist bot:

bashCopyEditbot_add t

Add Counter-Terrorist bot:

bashCopyEditbot_add ct

Remove all bots:

bashCopyEditbot_kick

Remove specific team bots:

bashCopyEditbot_kick t``` or ```bot_kick ct

Kill all bots (without kicking):

bashCopyEditbot_kill

Want more control? You can also kick a specific bot by name or instantly place one with:

bashCopyEditbot_place

(Just make sure sv_cheats 1 is enabled.)

💼 Give Bots Weapons and Gear

Want bots to use specific weapons or armor setups? These commands do the trick:

Custom loadout for all bots:

bashCopyEditbot_loadout deagle hegrenade

Only knives (knife fights!):

bashCopyEditbot_knives_only

Give armor:

bashCopyEditmp_free_armor 1 mp_max_armor 2

0 = no armor
1 = Kevlar only
2 = Kevlar + Helmet

🎯 Control Bot Movement and Behavior

You can turn bots into training dummies or have them mimic your moves:

Freeze bots completely:

bashCopyEditbot_stop 1

Unfreeze:

bashCopyEditbot_stop 0

Stop bots from shooting:

bashCopyEditbot_dont_shoot 1

Make bots mimic your movement:

bashCopyEditbot_mimic 1

Force bots to crouch:

bashCopyEditbot_crouch 1

Great for practicing lineups or building training maps.

🔥 Adjust Bot Difficulty and Respawn Settings

Bots not challenging enough? Ramp up the heat:

Set difficulty (0 = easy, 3 = expert):

bashCopyEditbot_difficulty 3

Enable fast respawn for T and CT:

bashCopyEditmp_respawn_on_death_t 1 mp_respawn_on_death_ct 1

Now you can keep the action going non-stop!
