CS2 Commands For 1v1: Setup, Settings, And Pro Tips

You can set up a private 1v1 match in CS2 to sharpen your aim, test strategies, or compete directly against a friend. A controlled duel environment lets you focus on mechanics without the distractions of a full team match.

With the right console commands, you can adjust settings such as instant round restarts, maximum money, and other server options that make practice smoother and more efficient. When you configure these commands correctly, you create a fast and focused setup built specifically for one-on-one play.

Complete List of CS2 Commands for 1v1 Matches

You control your 1v1 setup through the developer console. Open it with the tilde key (~) after loading into your chosen map, then enter the commands you need.

The settings below remove delays, bots, and restrictions so you can focus only on the duel.

Core Server and Round Settings

These settings create a continuous 1v1 environment with no forced breaks.

Economy and Buying Configuration

You can remove economy limits so every round starts equally.

• mp_startmoney 16000 – Starts each player with maximum cash.
• mp_afterroundmoney 16000 – Resets money to the maximum after every round.
• mp_buy_anywhere 1 – Lets you purchase weapons anywhere on the map.
• mp_buytime 999 – Allows buying at any point during the round.
• mp_free_armor 1 – Provides free body armor at spawn.

These settings keep both players fully equipped without needing to manage finances.

You can also modify movement mechanics and ammunition behavior.

• sv_enablebunnyhopping 1 – Allows bunny hopping.
• sv_autobunnyhopping 1 – Enables automatic bunny hopping while holding jump.
• sv_infinite_ammo 2 – Grants unlimited magazines, but you still reload manually.

These options help you practice movement or aim without worrying about ammo shortages.

This setup prepares a private 1v1 server instantly.

You can edit any value in that string to match your preferences.
