How to remove bots in your Counter Strike 2 Server

Bots fill empty slots on your CS2 server, depending on its settings and game mode. You set how many there are on the Configs tab, and can add or kick them while the server runs.

Turn bots off for good

1. Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your CS2 server.
2. Open the Configs tab and choose Server settings (server.cfg).
3. Set Bots to 0 and click Save.
4. Click Restart at the top of the page.

Next to it, Bot fill sets how that number is used (Always this many, Fill up to that many players so bots leave as players join, or One bot per human), and Bot difficulty sets how good they are. The panel runs server.cfg after each game mode's own defaults, so these settings win in every mode.

Kick or add bots while the server runs

On the CS2 tab, use Kick bots, Bot for T and Bot for CT: see How to run matches on your CS2 server: maps, warmup, pause, practice and bots

Or type these on the Console tab:

• bot_kick: removes all bots. bot_kick t or bot_kick ct removes one side's bots; bot_kick Name removes one bot.
• bot_add_t or bot_add_ct: adds one bot to that side. bot_add adds one to the team that needs it.
• bot_quota 5: keeps this many bots.
• bot_difficulty 0 to 3: easy to expert.
• bot_knives_only 1: bots use only knives (0 to undo).
• bot_stop 1: bots freeze where they are (0 to undo). This one needs sv_cheats 1.

Commands typed on the console last until the next map change, when server.cfg applies the Bots setting again. To keep bots away, set Bots to 0 as above.
