Other useful bots commands in CS2

You can add or remove bots, change their behavior, or determine the number of bots you want on the CS2 server.

  • “bot_stop 1” – The bots will stop immediately where they are. If you want them to move again, change the value to “0”. To use this command, you must have server cheats on with the command “sv_cheats true”.
  • “bot_knives_only 1” – This will make bots run around with knives instead of using guns. If you want them to use guns again, change the value to “0”.
  • “bot_quota X” – change “X” to the number of bots you want in your server.
