Best SV_Cheats Commands in CS:GO

In the gaming world, cheat codes have been around for just about as long as video games themselves. There are many kinds of video game cheat codes, from the wacky to the helpful to the just plain fun. Some of the greatest and most memorable cheat codes in CS:GO were officially included in the game over the years.

In this article, we’ll be focusing on CS:GO sv_cheats. These are built-in cheat options that come with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, so using them is not considered cheating or illegal by the game’s rules and regulations. However, restrictions do certainly exist, and you cannot use them in any game mode.

How to Activate/Deactivate Cheat Commands?

Cheat commands for CS:GO can only be used on servers that have them enabled. You must be an administrator on the server in question, and therefore, they cannot be activated in any official mode. If you are indeed an administrator, to enable advanced commands, open the developer console and type: 

sv_cheats 1

To deactivate CS:GO cheat commands, simply change a 1 value to 0.

sv_cheats 0

With CS:GO cheats commands turned on, you have seemingly limitless options for customizing your games. Here, you can find the descriptions of some of the most important CS:GO sv_cheats and how you might use them to become a better player.

SV_Cheats Commands for Agents

With this option activated, you will be able to see the frame of models through walls, as well as see places that are shot through.

Wallhack

r_drawothermodels 2

This command allows you to see skeletons of other players’ models through walls. The walls themselves remain as they are.

See through smoke

This command allows you to move your weapon to the left hand to improve your view on the right side of the screen. It's also pretty handy if you're left-handed.

Disable recoil

This command will cancel recoil on all weapons.

Infinite ammo

With this command, the ammo in all weapons will become infinite, but reloading will remain.

Conclusion

While all this is fun and games, it's important not to become accustomed to using CS:GO sv_cheat commands, as this can happen surprisingly quickly. For example, let's say you really enjoy using a certain weapon or accessing a specific place somewhere within a particular map. CS:GO console cheats make it ridiculously easy to access anything you want. It is essential to remember that there's no legal cheating in the world of CS:GO, and the professional gaming circuit is extra-stringent on these rules. Just make sure you don't get used to the ease of play provided by sv_cheats commands and use only the developers' console, as utilizing third-party software for this purpose may result in a VAC ban.
