How to make a jump throw bind in CS2
To create a jump throw bind in CS2, you will need to make a copy of a config file, enter a few basic lines, and then run a single command just once.
- Go to your CS2 folder. On most PCs, it is located here:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive
- You can more easily reach this folder by right-clicking on CS:GO in Steam, going to Manage, and clicking “Browse Local Files.”
- From here, open game\csgo\cfg
- Make a copy of any config or CFG file.
- Rename that new config file to ‘jumpthrow’, then open the file in Notepad and delete all the text. Then add these four commands:
- +jump
- -attack
- -attack2
- -jump
- Save the file.
Once this file is saved, you can open CS2. Once you’re in, open the console command and type:
bind [key] “exec jumpthrow”
Replace [key] with the key you want to use for a jump throw. We prefer to use Q, since it’s right next to WASD, and the default action for Q is to return to the previously used weapon, which we have never used.
Now when you are holding a grenade in your hand, pressing Q or whatever binding you prefer will instantly make the perfect and consistent jump throw.
Once you’ve got this ready, make sure you learn new smokes. These will come in handy and will surprise your teammates along the way. A jump throw bind in CS2 can go a long way.
