In Counter-Strike 2, mastering console commands can significantly enhance your gameplay experience. Here are some of the best console commands to optimize and customize your gaming experience:

cq_netgraph 1

This command adds a net graph display in the top right-hand corner, offering information about your latency, similar to CSGO. While not as comprehensive, it's still useful for monitoring your connection.

cl_showfps 1

Know the system performance; this command displays real-time FPS (frames per second) on your screen. You can use variations like showfps 2, 3, 4, or 5 for more detailed information.

fps_max 0

If you want to maximize your frames per second and remove any limitations, setting fps_max to 0 will allow your system to perform at its best.

Bind [action] [key]

Customize your key bindings by using this command. For example, to bind the jump action to the Q key, you'd type "bind jump q."

Volume

Adjust the master volume of the game by adding a value after this command, allowing you to find the perfect audio balance.

voice_modenable

Turn in-game voice chat on or off using this command, ensuring clear communication with your team.

snd_voipvolume 0.5

Instead of voice scale, use this command to control your teammates' voice chat volume. You can modify the value from 0 to 1 to fine-tune the volume.

r_drawtracers_firstperson 0

This command disables bullet tracers from your perspective, maintaining realism while firing.

Disconnect

As the name suggests, this command swiftly disconnects you from the server you're currently in, providing a quick exit option.
