How to Set Up a Practice Server in Counter-Strike 2
Configure your CS2 server for nade practice with infinite ammo, grenade trajectories, impact markers, and unlimited buy time.
A practice config is a .cfg file you can exec to instantly switch your server into a nade-lineup / aim-training environment. Anything that needs sv_cheats 1 (impacts, trajectories, noclip) lives here.
Create the Practice Config
Stop the server, then click Files in the XGamingServer Panel.
Navigate to game/csgo/cfg/. Create a new file called practice.cfg.
Paste the config below and save:
