Every player, from time to time, has a desire to study the map and, at the same time, not be afraid that others can shoot them in the process. The solution would be to explore maps on custom servers without bots. However, it might not give you the whole picture and takes quite some time. This is where the knowledge of how to bind a noclip command in CS2 that lets you fly through any wall, floor, or map object comes in handy. This is super useful for exploring the map or fast travel. 

Below is a simple guide to bind noclip in Counter-Strike 2 offline or on community servers.

bind key "sv_cheats 1; Noclip" — instead of “key,” you enter the button you want to use for Noclip.

WHAT DOES NOCLIP COMMAND DO?

Noclip in CS2, like in most other games where it is allowed, is a special feature that enables you to move in all planes on the map with the textures disabled. In simple words, you can fly without crashing into walls and other objects. In Counter-Strike 2, there are no invisible walls in terms of height, so you can fly as high as not to see the map at all. Most often, this function is used to explore large and unfamiliar locations. This way, you can find the best places on the map to hide with your AWP or sneak out on your opponents with the knife.

HOW TO ACTIVATE NOCLIP IN CS2?

The flight opens up a wide range of possibilities for the player. To activate it, you need to open the developer console and write the required command. Such a command affects the game's physics engine, removing gravity and its corresponding properties. It is also worth noting that the activation of this mechanic is possible only on a private server, while on official maps, you will just see a message that SV: Cheat command 'noclip' ignored, and nothing will happen.

Follow the steps below to activate Noclip:

1. Open the developer console. To do this, press the (~) key when entering a match.

2. You need to enable the advanced options with “sv_cheats 1” command.

   

3. Copy ‘’Noclip’’ to the console. To disable Noclip, type ‘’Noclip’’ again in the console.

   

Opening the console and typing a command every time you want to "land" or “fly” is not very convenient. Luckily, there is a way. You can bind it to any mouse or keyboard button to make the exploring process even easier. For a comprehensive list of other useful key configurations, check out our guide on the best binds for CS2.

What Can the Noclip Command Be Used For?

Although originally, this command was added to the game to help developers test the maps, players discovered a lot of additional features and benefits of using a CS2 noclip bind:

1. Creating a Map is one of the most difficult tasks. The player can check the entire map, test it, and find flaws thanks to flying. You can also take a picture of the map or film the tutorial for your custom map, which will be more convenient with Noclip.
2. Practice. In flight, players can practice throwing smoke grenades or Molotov cocktails. You can quickly relocate on the map to hone your smoking skills from different positions.
3. Map study. Players use flying to explore new maps, pick out the perfect bombing locations, or plot the most convenient route to the bombsites.
