Do you want to learn how to throw grenades normally? Then here you will learn how to train throws in CS GO. The topic is far from being as simple as it seems, because game physics is quite closely intertwined with real methods. Here, the force of the throw, the surface from which the grenade is repelled, and the firing time of the fuse are taken into account. Not a simulator, but something like that.
And let’s say right away that there will be a lot of console commands, so many hours of training with bots (or without them) is in your near future if you are going to master this difficult task. At the same time, you will understand what lead, rebound, ricochet and damage radius are.
What you have to work with
Before turning on commands to train throws, you need to get at least a little familiar with the arsenal of grenades and their purpose. There are 6 of them in the game:
-
Blinding (flash drive, light, blind) — introduces dissonance into the enemy team, since it simply reduces visibility to zero for a few seconds. You can dodge the effect by simply turning the camera. Called by Team B-6-3;
-
Smoke (smoke, smoke) — fills the surrounding space with acrid dense smoke, through which nothing is visible. A killer thing for enclosed spaces with a limited number of entrances/exits. Buying command — B-6-5;
-
Fragmentation (haeshka, grena) — The only combat grenade in the game that can blow up enemies within a radius of several tens of meters. Team — B-6-4;
-
False (soundboard, dummy) — a funny weapon in skillful hands that imitates the sounds of shots from powerful weapons, spreading panic among opponents. Purchased at B-6-2;
-
Molotov cocktail (fire, molik, bottle) — the bottle with the wick is only available to terrorists. When it hits a wall or asphalt, it creates a burning carpet that deals constant damage to everyone over time. Purchase — B-6-1;
-
Incendiary (Molotov, fire) — alternative for special forces. It doesn’t burn as pretentiously, because there is high-temperature chemicals inside the can, but the effect is similar. Purchased by command B-6-1.
As you understand, training grenade placement in CS GO for each “shell” will have to be separated, because their weight and behavior in flight are different, and the specifics of their work are different.
The best cards for training
If we talk about standard (competitive) locations, the leaders here will be:
-
Overpass;
-
Dust 2;
-
Inferno;
-
Mirage.
Also, the modders have prepared several excellent custom maps based on the standard ones, which you will find in the Steam Workshop. Below is the literal name:
-
Mirage Training by Dolnma
-
Inferno Training by Dolnma
-
Cache Training by Dolnma
-
Cobblestone Training by Dolnma

Preliminary work with the console
It is best to practice in the training mode with bots, since here you can safely enter cheats through the console and other not entirely legal commands in order to train your moves.
At the start you will need the following set of actions to prepare the ground for throws:
mp_freezetime 0 — reduces waiting time to zero
mp_roundtime 600 — increases round time to 5 minutes
mp_maxmoney 60000 — maximum account limit
mp_startmoney 60000 — starting amount of funds
mp_buytime 9999 — unlimited purchasing time
mp_buy_anywhere 1 — no restrictions on the place of purchase
mp_ignore_round_win_conditions 1 — unlimited round
mp_restartgame 1 — server restart
The last command is required for all previous changes to take effect and you can use cheats.
Now let's move on to the main process.
Working with grenades and tracers
Remember that all commands during training are entered only after the main one has been written — sv_cheats 1.
Now about grenades. They are called by one command — give_weapon_grenade, namely:
-
hegrenade — fragmentation;
-
smokegrenade — smoke;
-
flashbang — light;
-
molotov — cocktail;
-
incgrenade — incendiary;
-
decoy — false.
After this, enter sv_grenade_trajectory 1 in the console to visually monitor the flight.
Experienced players suggest that binds for buttons 1-6 would be an excellent solution for training. They look something like this:
bind 1 "give weapon_hegrenade; use weapon_hegrenade", where:
-
bind 1 — assignable button;
-
give weapon_hegrenade — issuing a fragmentation grenade;
-
use weapon_hegrenade — instant use of a grenade.
But typing the command every time to get one grenade quickly gets boring, so we recommend using the following commands:
-
ammo_grenade_limit_default 30 — increase the limit of grenades in your hands to 30;
-
ammo_grenade_limit_hegrenade 30 — simultaneous purchase of 30 fragmentation grenades (the value of the grenade can be changed to another);
-
ammo_grenade_limit_total 30 — buying 30 grenades in one fell swoop.
Moving on, here are some of the most important commands that help track the trajectory and other parameters of grenades in the game:
-
sv_grenade_trajectory_time 10 — Duration of displaying the flight path in seconds;
-
sv_grenade_trajectory 1 — enable flight path;
-
cl_grenadepreview — trajectories when clamping the pin;
-
cl_sim_grenade_trajectory — fixing the trajectory (demonstration of the tracer and rebound without throwing);
-
sv_rethrow_last_grenade — re-throw.
We repeat once again: all commands can be bound by creating your own CFG files inside the game. Otherwise, you’ll just get tired of writing these lines of code in the console.
Useful tricks of PRO players
Experienced gamers who want to practice in their free time have long acquired their own configuration files, saving them in the depths of the game. To be precise, the path to the CFG files is located along the following route:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg
Perhaps your disk name and root folder will be different, but everything else — no.
Here create a file with a name, for example, raskidka.cfg (a regular notepad with the name and extension renamed) and insert there all the commands you personally need, listed above.
Next, in the game launch parameter, enter:
+ exec raskidka.cfg
Now, when you double-click on the CS GO icon, the game will automatically load the required configuration for training with grenades.
Auxiliary commands
When training with bots in single-player mode, situations may arise when there are either many or few of them. Correcting the situation:
-
bot_add_t — add for terrorists;
-
bot_add_ct — add for special forces;
-
bot_kick — delete all;
-
bot_stop — freeze everyone.
And finally, let us remind you about such a command as noclip. It allows you to move through walls, which gives a visual representation of how a grenade moves, what it bounces off of, how it behaves in flight, and what factors influence the rebound. The thing is quite useful, but it only works when the sv_cheats 1 mode is enabled.
