For a more in-depth guide on configs, check out our CS:GO config and autoexec guide. In this guide, we will be going over a special type of console commands in CS:GO – the svcheats 1 commands. These are often referred to as CS:GO cheat commands, or CS:GO hacks or hack commands. Your autoexec is a good place to include keybindings if you have a handful of go-to keybindings you always use. Right now you currently have the possibility to bind the entire numpad, function keys from F1 to F8, the four arrow keys, and up to 6 custom keys.
In this guide we will cover the commands which will enable you to customize the radar in CS:GO the way you want.
If you go with the default radar settings, you won't be able to see the whole map in-game. Professional players are keeping a constant eye on the radar (well not literally, but you get the point). The reason they do, is to watch where their teammates are positioned and where the enemies are – or where the enemy was last seen. An enemy is displayed as a red dot on the radar. A few seconds after an enemy disappear out of sight, a red question mark is displayed on the radar.
I have had so much use of being able to see the whole map on the radar. For example if I am on A and my teammates gets rushed on B but don't have time to call it, you will notice right away on the radar. Also if someone on your team spots the terrorist with the bomb, the bomb will be displayed on the map, which is very useful.
This screenshot shows what we want to accomplish, which is:
- A radar which is always centered.
- A radar where we can see the whole map.
- Bigger radar (HUD size).
- Bigger icons, so it's easy to spot teammates/enemies on the map (optional).
- Basically a minimap of the whole map.
If you wonder how to change settings so the weapon is displayed like this, check out our viewmodel guide.
Lets move on to the actual settings. You will need to put the following in your own config or autoexec. We will go through each setting step by step. This way you will know what each setting do, so that you can customize the radar your own way if you want to. If you just want the settings, scroll down to the bottom where we have included all the settings in the last section of this article.
cl_radar_always_centered
First of all, we don't want to have the radar centered at all time. When centered, you are wasting a lot of space on the radar when you are near the border of the map.
This is done with the command:
cl_radar_always_centered 0
See how we are 'wasting' half of the radar on black nothing. When not centered we are able to see more of the map.
cl_radar_scale
The next thing we want to do, is scale the map down, so we can see the more of the map on the radar.
Command:
cl_radar_scale 0.3
Before we couldn't see the whole map. After the tweak, we can now see the whole map at all time. This is very useful when you are in the spawn, while some of your teammates are on A or B – no matter what you will always to be able to see where they are.
Zoom script
We have made a little zoom script, which makes it easy to zoom in and out on the radar, by just clicking on '+' or '-'.
Put this in your config or autoexec file:
// radar zoom in-out script
bind 'KP_plus' 'incrementvar cl_radar_scale 0.25 1.0 0.05';
bind 'KP_minus' 'incrementvar cl_radar_scale 0.25 1.0 -0.05';
Now you will be able to quickly adjust your radar zoom while being in-game.
cl_hud_radar_scale
When scaling the map down, we loose some of the details. To compensate for some of this, we can scale up the radar HUD.
Command:
cl_hud_radar_scale 1.15
As you can see, the radar HUD is now bigger. I find that 1.15 to be the sweet spot between being able to see more details, and not taking up too much of the screen. Try experimenting with this setting yourself.
cl_radar_icon_scale_min
This step is optional, but I use it myself. It makes the icons on the radar bigger, which I find useful.
Command:
cl_radar_icon_scale_min 1 Geto boys the resurrection.
Final Radar Tweaking
Now that we have tweaked our radar settings, we have a much more useful radar, where the whole map is displayed at all time. Check this comparison between the default settings and our tweaked radar settings:
Pretty cool.
The only bad thing about the tweaked radar, is that the map is not very detailed, whereas when the scale is bigger, it is easier to see the map details. If you know the map well, this is not necessary though, at least in my opinion.

cl_radar_always_centered '0'
cl_radar_scale '0.3'

cl_radar_icon_scale_min '0.6'
cl_radar_rotate '1'
cl_radar_square_with_scoreboard '1'
Other radar settings/commands
These commands are included in the final settings, but we are just using their default values. Here I will explain what they do.
cl_radar_rotate
If you don't want the radar to rotate with you, you can turn off the radar rotation.
cl_radar_rotate 0 //off
cl_radar_rotate 1 //on - recommended
cl_radar_square_with_scoreboard
When you press TAB to display the scoreboard, a big square radar will appear that shows you the whole map. If you want to turn this OFF, you can do so with this command.

cl_radar_square_with_scoreboard '1' //on – recommended

Perfect for both friends and enemies.
Whether it's to settle an argument, boost your ego by crushing your friend or to test each other's aim, it's always useful to know the commands you need to set up a 1v1 match in CS:GO. This guide takes you through setting up a 1v1 match step-by-step: starting with the config file and commands, then finding a map, and finally launching the 1v1.
1. The Config File With 1v1 Commands
1v1 Config Csgo Hack
The list of commands that provide an optimal setup for a 1v1 server are too long to put into your console, so you have to use a config file. We have one for you to download below, as well as instructions for how to add it to your game.
Download the config file for 1v1 commands by clicking the button below (save the file in a place you can remember, as you'll need to move it, which is explained in the next section):
Download ConfigNow that you've got the config file saved, you'll need to move it into the correct folder in your CS:GO files. To do this, open up Steam, go to your Library, right click 'Counter Strike: Global Offensive', and click 'Properties':
Then, on the newly opened window, click 'Local Files', then click 'Browse Local Files':
With your local CS:GO files opened, go into the csgo folder, and then into the cfg folder.
Move the 1v1_commands.cfg file you downloaded into the cfg folder.
We'll show you how to run this config in-game in section 3 (the final part of this guide).
2. Finding a 1v1 Map
If you already have a 1v1 map you want to play on, or you want to play on a default CS:GO map (like Dust II) you can skip this section.
Now that you've got your config set up, you'll need an arena to fight in.
It's possible to use the default CS:GO maps for this, but due to their large scale you'll spend more time running around as you will fighting each other.
That's why most people opt to play on a workshop map. These are maps created by the community, and there's hundreds tailored to playing 1v1s in.
1v1 Config Csgo Hack
Head to this link for a list of the most popular 1v1 maps in CS:GO. When you've found one you like, click its image and click 'Subscribe'.
After you've subscribed to the map(s) you want to 1v1 on, they will be downloaded the next time you open CS:GO. You can then access them in the 'Workshop Maps' section when selecting what type of game mode to play.
3. Starting the 1v1
Congratulations, you've got everything in place to start up a private 1v1 match!
Now all you need to do is get in a lobby, invite your friends you want to play with, select the map you want to play on, start the game, and run the config file we downloaded in section 1.
Running the config file requires a console command, which needs to be typed into the developer console, which you need to enable. Most players have this enabled, but in case not: You can do this by going to your CS:GO settings, then 'Game Settings', and then selecting 'Yes' on the 'Enable Developer Console' dropdown. If you're struggling to enable it, check out our enabling the developer console guide for more help. You can open the developer console after enabling it by pressing the ` or ~ key on your keyboard.
With the developer console opened, type the following command into it and hit enter:
exec 1v1_commandsCopy
We hope you found this 1v1 commands guide helpful - if something isn't working, or you need help, feel free to Tweet to us @Total_CSGO. You can also find more console commands which may make your 1v1s more interesting on our list of CS:GO console commands.
