How to enable infinite warmup in CS2

For CS2, training is incredibly important to achieve significant results during matches. However, the costs of waiting for round restarts and other time losses due to gameplay restrictions can hinder effective skill improvement.

One excellent option for practicing combat skills is warm-up, where you can easily practice grenade throws, shooting, and tactical maneuvers. However, it is highly time-limited, but this limitation can be overcome with a few simple steps, making it practically endless. Many pro players have been using this method since the days of CS:GO.

Here's how to make warmup infinite in CS2

Please note that this won't work in standard matches, and you can activate infinite warmup only on a personal server or in training mode. To do this, you need to follow just a few simple steps.

Unlike CS:GO, in Counter-Strike 2, developers have made it more convenient to make warm-up infinite. It won't require the use of developer console commands.

Infinite warm-up in training mode:

1. In the CS2 menu, click on the "Play" tab.

2. Click on the "Training" mode.

3. Choose the desired map from the available list.

4. Before starting to play, click on the menu to the left, on the "Infinite warmup" button.

5. With the green slider, you can start warmup without time restrictions.

How to make infinite warm-up in CS2 using commands

This method is suitable for those who don't want to play only against bots. By using developer console commands, you can create a personal server for practicing necessary skills with other players.

Enabling the developer console in CS2

Usually, this feature is disabled by default, so you need to go to the settings. Find the "Enable developer console (~)" option and select "Yes" from the dropdown menu. After that, you can open the console at any time by pressing the "~" key.

Command for infinite warmup in CS2

Using commands not only removes time restrictions on warm-up but also makes it more comfortable for yourself and teammates. Open the console by pressing "~" and enter the following commands:

• sv_cheats 1 – enables cheat commands.

• mp_do_warmup_offline 1 – activates warm-up mode at any point during the match.

• mp_warmuptime 99999 – extends the warm-up duration to infinity.

• mp_warmup_start – command to start the already infinite warm-up.

• mp_warmup_end – entering this command will stop warm-up without waiting.

Why is infinite warm-up necessary in CS2?

Infinite warm-up significantly diversifies training. In this mode, some restrictions are lifted, allowing the practice of unusual tactics, grenade throws, and shooting without the need to restart the round, which is possible in infinite warm-up.
