CS: Global Offensive: The best tips for config
The Config for Counter Strike: Global Offensive is a powerful tool that allows you to customize the popular first-person shooter to your liking. In this article you will find the best tips for your own config file.
Where is the config.cfg from CS: Global Offensive?
The config.cfg is located in the Steam installation folder under "\ steamapps \ common \ Counter-Strike Global Offensive \ csgo \ cfg \ config.cfg". If the file does not yet exist, create a new text file here and rename it to "config.cfg" (without .txt at the end).
Counter Strike: Global Offensive: Adjust settings
The config file allows you to change pretty much any setting in CS: Global Offensive. The most well-known commands are "cl_crosshairsize VALUE", with which you can change the crosshair size, and "m_mousespeed VALUE", with which you can set the mouse speed. Listing all commands would go beyond the scope of this tip, you can find numerous tutorials and sample configs for download on the Internet, for example here.
- Please note, however, that not all config settings are permitted in some e-sports competitions.
Buy items quickly with a Buyscript
In a Buyscript you bind the commands for buying weapons or items to a keystroke, for example to the "0" on the numeric keypad. All commands must be entered in config.cfg without single quotes ('):
- Buyscript commands take the form 'bind "KEY" "buy ITEM"'.
- If you want to buy several items at the same time, the command is: 'bind "TASTE" "buy ITEM1; buy ITEM2; ..."'.
- Items are only bought if you have enough money and are available on your team. For example, with 'bind "KP_0" "buy m4a1; buy ak47; buy deagle"' you can buy the M4A1 or the AK47, depending on the faction, and with enough money you can also buy the Desert Eagle if you press the 0 on the numeric keypad.
