Commands to Kick Bots in CS:GO

Now you know how to disable bots in CS:GO, but there are a few other useful commands that you can use. These commands can be accessed  through the game console by pressing the tilde (~) key on your keyboard. Here are some additional commands on how to get rid of bots in CS:GO:

  1. bot_kick [name] — If you want to kick a specific bot, you can use this command, followed by the bot's name. For example, bot_kick bot1 will kick the bot “bot1” from the game.
  2. Bot_kick ct / Bot_kick tThis command will remove all bots from the team you type in: ct — Counter-Terrorists; t — Terrorists.
  3. Bot_kick 1 — You can remove bots of specific difficulty by typing Bot_kick X where X is the number from 0 to 3 (0 — very easy; 3 — very hard).
  4. bot_stop 1 — This command will freeze all bots in the game, making them unable to move or shoot. This can be useful if you need to take a break from the game but don't want to leave.
  5. bot_quota 0 — This command will set the bot quota to 0, effectively disabling bots from joining your game altogether.

It's important to note that some of these commands may only work in offline games or servers where you have admin access. If you're playing on a public server, you may be unable  to turn off bots in CS:GO. Additionally, kicking bots from your game can sometimes disrupt the game balance, so use these commands cautiously.

Is it Possible to Remove Bots in the Competitive Mode?

While it is possible to remove bots in CS:GO's Casual, Deathmatch, and other game modes, it's not possible to remove bots in Competitive mode. This is because Competitive mode is a ranked game mode that requires a full team of players, and bots are automatically added to the game to fill any empty slots.

However, you can still reduce the number of bots in Competitive mode by ensuring that your entire team is present before queuing for a match. Additionally, if you play a custom Competitive mode game, that is, with the same rules, you can add or remove bots and even play 1v 5. However, you won't get any ranking for this and should do this only for fun or training purposes.
