In this guide we will go through some of the most useful console commands in CS:GO, which require sv_cheats to be enabled. Have you ever wondered what it feels like using cheats and hacks in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive? With the built-in sv_cheats commands, you can experience wallhack, no recoil, and godmode for yourself. However, there are no commands for “aimbot” at the moment. That said, we don’t recommend you get a taste for it since it will end up getting you VAC banned if you choose to use hacks one day. On the other hand, using the commands in this article on a server where sv_cheats is enabled, will NOT get you VAC banned. More on this later.
Sv_cheats commands are just a special type of console commands. To work, they require the server admin to enable cheats. This is done by setting the sv_cheats command to 1. Open the console and type:
sv_cheats 1
Because this is a built-in functionality in CS:GO, you will NOT get banned for using sv_cheats commands. I repeat you will NOT get VAC banned for using sv_cheats 1 commands!
This is not true, however, if you download a hack somewhere, which bypasses sv_cheats and enables it only for you. But if you haven’t downloaded any program or hack, you should not worry about anything.
Typing the commands in a random server will not get you banned either because they won’t work. As mentioned before, only the server admin can enable cheats.
In this guide, we will not cover all of the commands which require sv_cheats to be enabled. Instead, visit the full list of sv_cheats commands if you wish to view all of the commands.
How to enable sv_cheats commands
Before we start with the commands and CVARS, you need to enable sv_cheats commands. This is pretty simple and can be done through the developer console.
- You have to be the server administrator
- Open the developer console (~)
- Type: sv_cheats 1
- Sv_cheats commands are now enabled, to disable again type “sv_cheats 0” in the console.
