With Counter-Strike 2 now fully released, players have finally managed to get their hands on one of the most highly anticipated games of all time.
A new game means that there are lots of new features to get to grips with, and while they may not be new to the game overall, keybindings will be new to some players.
Keybindings are an integral part of Counter-Strike, so allow us to take you through a list of the best keybinds you can use in CS 2.
But first, what actually are keybinds?
Keybinds in CS2 are useful commands that you put into the in-game developer console to allow you to bind new inputs to keys on your keyboard.
Whether it's a keybind for jump-throwing a smoke, or just for giving each different piece of utility it's own unique key, keybinds are a key part of every Counter-Strike player's config because they simply make playing the game easier.
The best keybinds in Counter-Strike 2 work best for the player and help them in every different kind of in-game situation.
The jump throw bind is one of the most effective tools in a Counter-Strike player's arsenal. It allows the player to throw pieces of utility at the precise moment in the precise moment of the jump, which makes the utility travel the furthest.
Hard to do without a jump throw bind, it also makes jump throwing utility like smokes consistent, which is necessary for players to be able to do if they wish to be able to land their smokes properly on a site exec.
Even if you're somehow the perfect player that manages to throw them consistently anyway, a jump throw bind means that you only need to press one key to do so, and that is why the jump throw bind is one of the best keybinds in Counter-Strike 2.
To get a jumpthrow bind in CS2, open your developer console and input the following command(s):
Replace X with whichever key you prefer.
The run jump throw bind is very similar to the jump throw bind, however, it makes the player do one step forwards as they throw.
A player's momentum affects the way utility is thrown in Counter-Strike, so the step forward will make whichever utility that is thrown go further as a result.
The run jump throw bind is one of the best binds in Counter-Strike 2 because some of the more precise lineups in the game require a step forwards to land them and the bind removes any chance of human error when throwing.
Just like the jumpthrow bind, it also allows you to carry out these actions with the press of just one key.
To get a run jump throw bind in CS2, open your developer console and input the following command(s):
Replace X with whichever key you prefer.
With Counter-Strike 2's new sub-tick system, many things feel different in-game. One of those things is movement, meaning that things players' took for granted, such as bunny hop timings, has now been changed.
Bunnyhopping is now harder to do in game, but with this bind, that will no longer be an issue for you.
To get a run better jump bind in CS2, open your developer console and input the following command(s):
Replace mwheeldown with whichever input you prefer.
While these next binds might not help in the same way some of the other binds in this list have, that doesn't mean they aren't amongst the best key binds in Counter-Strike 2.
Utility is one of the fundamental aspects of Counter-Strike, and given the changes to smoke and HE grenades within CS2, ease of access to your nades has never been more important.
For that reason, we recommend binding each individual grenade to it's own key. To do so, change each grenade to these keys, or whichever key you prefer, in the keybinds menu:
Lineups can be hard to throw in Counter-Strike, so that's why this bind is one of the best key binds you'll find in Counter-Strike 2.
A key bind that is designed to make your crosshair much larger so you can easily line it up with features on the map, you won't simply have to make the adjustments by eye.
To get a grenade lineup bind in CS2, open your developer console and input the following command(s):
Replace 4 with whichever key you'd like to use.
Counter-Strike is a game where sound is incredibly important, and this is even more true in a clutch situation.
Hearing the steps of your enemies can cause you to make a round-winning rotation, so be sure to use this bind in Counter-Strike 2 to maximise your potential to rank up.
This bind will increase your volume from 0 to 1 in increments of 0.25, allowing you to perfectly tune your audio for the moment you require it.
To get a volume bind in CS2, open your developer console and input the following command(s):
Replace [ with whichever key you'd like to use.
This bind will work well with the better jump bind.
Movement is very important in Counter-Strike, and that means that heightening your chance of hitting important things like bunnyhops to get out of spawns faster and entrying bomb sites with even better timings.
It's hard to do so with a space bar, which makes this one of the best binds in Counter-Strike 2.
To get a mousewheel jump bind in CS2, open your developer console and input the following command(s):
