    Gameplay codes

    Before mentioning a command in itself, it is worth highlighting a shortcut that few know about and can be very helpful. By pressing delete during the purchase time, you will refund all the items you are carrying, this can be useful when your team recommends doing a last-minute economic round, not giving you time to sell everything separately.

    cl_crosshair_sniper_width is a code which alters the size of the edges of the sniper crosshair, making them thinner or thicker. See an example (completely illustrative and not recommended) using this command with a value of 20.

    I suggest leaving it at 1, 2 or 3, but just like the visual aspects, the ideal number varies from player to player, feel free to enter other values, as long as it is comfortable for your gameplay.

    How to bind jumpthrow

    A bind is a shortcut, where with just one key we can perform an action. jumpthrow is one of the most requested commands among players, where basically with just one click you can jump and throw a grenade at the correct time, which allows you to perform countless utility pixels!

    To activate, follow this sequence of commands in the console:

  • alias "+boing" "+jump"

  • alias "+ding" "-attack; -attack2"

  • alias "+bong" "-jump"

  • bind DESIREDKEY "+boing; +ding; +bong"

    Do it exactly in this order and you will have activated successfully.

    To perform the jumpthrow, simply pick up the utility and prepare your launch (holding down the left or right button, or both). Then, just press the key that was configured to be the bind key and your character will automatically jump and throw the grenade.

    How to bind to drop C4

    Instead of always having to press two buttons to drop C4, in this case 5 to select it and G to release it, we can activate a shortcut that performs both actions.

    To activate, follow this sequence of commands in the console:

  • alias +c4 slot5

    In addition to helping with practicality, this shortcut can be extremely useful in some more tense
