Buy binds are custom key bindings that allow players to purchase specific weapons and equipment with a single keystroke. This reduces the time spent navigating the buy menu, making it easier and less stressful to buy.
Enable the console
To create them we need to enable the console first. In case you haven’t done so yet you can enable it by going to:
- Settings
- Open the “Game” tab
- And set “Enable Developer Console” to yes.
Now you can open the console with ” ` “.
Create your binds
To create the binds themselves now we have to understand how the loadout in CS2 works. In previous Counter-Strike games you could bind the weapon directly to a key. With CS2’s new loadout system the process changed a tiny bit.
Your loadout is now split into “Secondary”, “Midtier” and “Rifle” and depending on where you put your favourite guns you will have to use the fitting slotname.
Now we need keys to bind the actions to. Most people use their numpad for the buy menu. Here is an overview of what the keys are called:
Now simply combine preferred loadout slot and key and you are good to go. Let’s look at some examples.
// Buys an AWP on the "8" key
bind "KP_8" "buy RIFLE4" // Buys an USP on the "1" key
bind "KP_1" "buy SECONDARY0"Now that we know how to create weapon buy-binds let’s have a look at the utility.
