How to Allow More Bots in CSGO? A Step-by-Step Guide
Counter-Strike Global Offensive (CSGO) is a popular multiplayer game that allows players to join teams with other players or AI-driven bots. In some instances, you may want to add more bots to play against or with, adding an extra layer of realism to your gaming experience. This guide will walk you through the steps to allow more bots in CSGO and customize their behavior.
Basic Configuration
Before adding bots to your game, you need to ensure that bot support is enabled. Open your CSGO Settings by clicking on the hamburger menu icon () on your profile picture, and click on "Settings". From the settings menu, click on "Game Tab" and scroll down to the "Bot Settings" section. Make sure "Enable Bot" is toggled on. If it’s already on, proceed to the next section.
Adding More Bots
To add more bots to your game, use the bot_add command in the developer console. This command follows a specific syntax:
bot_add [slot] [type] [difficulty] [name]
Here’s a breakdown of each parameter:
• [slot]**: Replace with the desired bot slots, ranging from 0 to 10 (defaults to 0 if omitted). This controls the number of additional bots you want to create.• [type]: Select the bot type; use **" Terrorist"` for the Terrorist Force or **"Counter Terrorist"` for the CT Force.
• [difficulty]: Choose the difficulty level; use **"e"** for easy (defaults to normal), **"n"** for normal, or **"h"** for hardcore.
• [name] (optional): Give each bot a unique name starting with a letter; these names will appear on kill feed and scoreboards if displayed.
Example:
bot_add 4 Terrorist e BOTA-1 Add 4 additional terroristic bots with ease using difficulty level "e".**Assigning Bot Slots**
Manage your bot slots using **mp_limitteams** or **mp_autoteambalance** commands:
**Bot Slot Limit**:
When the **mp_limitteams** command is enabled (defaults on), bots will join respective teams based on available bot slots. Set this number according to your game requirements.
Example:`mp_limitteams 16`
**Auto-Balance Limit**:**mp_autoteambalance** maintains an even team size dynamic balance. This prevents both teams from having vastly varying sizes. Adjust the auto-balance setting to accommodate the recommended slot limit.
Example:`mp_autoteambalance 1-10`**Removing Unwanted Bots**
Some scenarios may require you to remove unwanted bots from the game without killing them. For that, the **bot_kickall** command is the straightforward way to kick out your desired number of bots (**type "all" and replace "_type_" with either “ Terrorist” or“ Counter Terrorist “`). Remember to set your **botslot** to the slot holding the unwanted bot:
| Bid | Bot K Kick All |
