If you’re wondering how to adjust bot difficulty in CS2, the easiest method is through a command. Follow these steps to use the CS2 bot difficulty command:
- Ensure the console is enabled in your settings by setting “Enable Developer Console” to “Yes.”
- Enter a practice Deathmatch game with bots.
- Open the console using the tilde key (~).
- Input the commands “bot_difficulty 0-5” and “custom_bot_difficulty 0-5,” ensuring the numbers are the same for both commands.
- Exit the Deathmatch game and enter the game you wish to play. This step only needs to be done once per play session.
Remember to input both commands for the CS2 bot difficulty command to work as intended. Just using one won’t suffice!
