CS2 Jump Throw Bind: How to Set (Easy Guide with Screenshots)

For years, the jump-throw bind for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was one of the must-use options used by Pros in tournaments and Silvers in matchmaking alike. However, with the release of the newest version, there is no simple way to create a CS2 jump throw bind, as Valve removed this option.

But don't rush to blame Valve for being bad developers and forgetting about it. Valve added a sub-tick approach instead of 64 and 128 tick-rate servers, which fixed the unstable grenade flying trajectory issue in CS:GO and simply made the jump throw bind in CS2 unneeded, increasing the speed of activating the grenade’s lineup.

Thus, most players can easily throw a grenade while jumping, which in CS:GO should be perfectly timed with reaching the jump apex. Still, many players who loved the previous game version want their favorite feature back and are now looking at how to bind jump throw in CS2.

Since it’s impossible to simply bind a CS2 jump throw action, you will have to modify config files or create an Autoexec.

alias "+jump1" "+jump"

alias "+throwaction" "-attack;-attack2"

alias "+jump2" "-jump"

alias "+jump-throw" "+jump1;+throwaction"

alias "-jump-throw" "+jump2"

bind N +jump-throw — You can change the “N” button for any key you prefer.

How to Set Up a Jump Throw Bind for CS2

For those who are a bit scared of hearing about config files, here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots on how to set jump throw bind in CS2. By following it, you will set the jump throw bind without the need to use a console every time you launch the game.

• Run Steam, go to Library, and find Counter-Strike 2. Right-click on it and choose Properties.

  

• Find the Installed Files tab and click the Browse button.

  

• In the opened folder, navigate to game → csgo → cfg. Then, make a copy of any CFG file or create a new one.

  

• Open it with your Notepad editor and delete all the text inside.

  

• Paste the text from the table below (don’t forget to change ‘N’ to the key you want to set as your jump throw keybind in CS2 or add a runthrow bind as well) and choose File → Save As option. In the Save as type field — choose All files; in the File name field — type some unique name, but don’t forget to add ‘.cfg’ at the end (e.g., jump-throw.cfg). Click Save.

  alias "+jump1" "+jump"

  alias "+throwaction" "-attack;-attack2"

  alias "+jump2" "-jump"

  alias "+jump-throw" "+jump1;+throwaction"

  alias "-jump-throw" "+jump2"

  bind N +jump-throw

  

• Return to Steam, right-click once again on Counter-Strike 2, and choose Properties. This time, go to the General tab, find LAUNCH OPTIONS, and paste the highlighted text in the dedicated row.

That’s it! Now, your jump throw bind should work perfectly in CS2 without opening a Console and typing any extra commands.

How to Use Created Jump Throw Bind in CS2

While the jump-throw bind is removed from the CS2 as the console command, the range of its options was actually broadened in the renewed game version. As we described in detail in our article about new features of CS2 compared to CS:GO, removed skyboxes and new responsive smokes give wider gameplay options for those using jump throw.

You just have to watch a few tutorials on how the new smoke lineups work, what positions can be isolated, and how to use the new flying distance to outsmart opponents. And even if you don't set up jump throw bind in Counter-Strike 2 as a separate button, you’ll definitely use this in-game feature for smoke or Molotov grenade throwing.
