Ballin' on a Budget: How to (Technically) Shower Yourself with Cash in CS:GO (But Seriously, Don't)
Ah, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. A game of skill, strategy, and the eternal struggle of clutching that final round with a measly $800. Fear not, my friends, for I, your friendly neighborhood humorbot, am here to unveil the forbidden knowledge (with a healthy dose of caution) on how to drown yourself in in-game riches.
Method 1: The Almighty Console Command (For the Adventurous)
Ever heard of the developer console? It's like your CS:GO attic, filled with dusty commands and settings that can make your game go wonky. But fear not, treasure hunter! We seek the legendary "mp_afterroundmoney" command. Here's the drill:
- Enable that developer console in the settings. It's under "Game", then "Enable Developer Console".
- Boot up a private server or convince your friends you're just "testing a strategy".
- Open the console with the tilde key (
~). - Type in
mp_afterroundmoney 99999999(or any other absurdly high number). This sets the starting cash for every round.
Voila! You're now wealthier than Jeff Bezos after a fire sale. But before you go buying a golden AWP for your hamster, a few caveats:
- This might confuse the ever-loving jaysus out of your friends.
- It disrupts the core gameplay. Where's the fun in buying anything when you have more money than Scrooge McDuck's vault?
- Use this on official servers? Yeah, about that... don't. It's considered a cheat and can get you banned faster than you can say 'GG'.
Method 2: The Robin Hood Approach (For the Altruistic)
Feeling generous? This method involves using the "mp_givemoney" command. Here's how to play Santa with your in-game bank account:
- Same drill, enable console and boot up a private server.
- Open the console and type
mp_givemoney [player ID] [amount]. - Replace [player ID] with your friend's ID (shown next to their name in the scoreboard).
- [amount] can be any number (within reason).
Now you can shower your teammates with cash! Just remember, great power comes with great responsibility. Don't turn them into walking ATMs who forget how to use a pistol.
Important Note: These methods are for private servers or messing around with friends. Using them online will get you in trouble.
The Actual Way to Get Rich (No Really, This One)
Alright, enough shenanigans. Here's how to get legitimately wealthy in CS:GO:
- Play the objective! Planting the bomb, securing hostages, winning rounds earns you more cash.
- Be frugal! Don't waste money on unnecessary grenades or fancy weapon skins (unless they make you play better, which is a scientific fact... maybe).
- Save up for that AWP! But remember, a well-placed pistol shot is just as deadly.
See? Simple! Who needs cheat codes when you have skill and a little bit of luck? Now go forth and dominate the battlefield, ethically of course.
