Counter-Strike 2 has a new Jumpthrow feature, giving players the chance to throw grenades with promising accuracy while jumping. This new mechanic is accompanied by a sound signal confirming the successful execution of the throw, which makes interaction with the game even more informative. However, many players find it difficult to maintain balance for the update – they want to return the usual events that were applied in the previous version.
But how to use Jumpthrow in CS2 correctly? The best methods were identified during the beta testing period, and the CSGO.com portal is happy to share this important information. This guide will help you better master the new mechanics and improve your game.
How to Set Up a Jumpthrow in CS2 with a Single Bind
In Counter-Strike 2, you can easily set up a Jumpthrow for a single key using a configuration file. This makes it much easier to perform accurate throws. Follow the step-by-step instructions below:
Open the configuration folder
Go to the directory where the game settings are located. Typically, the path to it looks like this:
\\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg\
This is where all your .cfg files are stored.
Create a separate configuration file for the Jumpthrow
Copy any existing .cfg file from this folder, paste the copy back and rename it to jumpthrow.cfg. This will be your custom script for the bind.
Paste the script code
Open jumpthrow.cfg with any text editor (e.g. Notepad) and replace its contents with the following code:
alias “+boing” “+jump”
alias “+ding” “-attack; -attack2”
alias “+dong” “-jump”
bind X “+boing; +ding; +dong”
Replace X with the desired key you want to assign the script to. This could be, for example, v, mouse4 or any other convenient button.
Save the file
Make sure the file is saved with the .cfg extension so that it works correctly in the game.
Activate the script in the game
Launch CS2, open the console (if it is not enabled yet, activate it in the settings). Then enter:
exec jumpthrow.cfg
The script will be loaded and you will be able to use the jump grenade throw with one button.
Automation via launch parameters
To avoid entering the command manually each time, add the line to the CS2 launch parameters in Steam:
+exec jumpthrow.cfg
Now your config file will be launched automatically each time you enter the game.
Bind on Forward Jumpthrow and Runthrow in CS2
While most players are familiar with the Jumpthrow script (the classic technique for throwing a grenade at the peak of a jump), you might not have come across Forward Jumpthrow and Runthrow. These binds are incredibly important for competitive players, and you can easily configure them in CS2 to enhance your gameplay.
What’s Forward Jumpthrow? It’s a grenade throw executed at the height of your jump, resembling the traditional Jumpthrow, but with a crucial step forward added to maximize distance and accuracy.
What’s Runthrow? This technique involves throwing a grenade while taking a forward step, but without jumping. It allows you to maintain momentum while tossing grenades, making it a versatile option in various situations.
To bind Forward Jumpthrow and Runthrow, you can follow the same instructions provided for Jumpthrow above. Just add the following lines to your configuration file to set everything up correctly:
alias “+jumpaction” “+jump;”
alias “+throwaction” “-attack; -attack2”
alias “-jumpaction” “-jump”
bind X1 “+jumpaction;+throwaction;”
alias “+forwardjumpthrow” “+forward;+jump;”
alias “-forwardjumpthrow” “-jump;-forward”
bind X2 “+forwardjumpthrow;+throwaction”
bind X3 “+forward;+throwaction”
In this configuration, X1 will be your key for Jumpthrow, X2 will correspond to Forward Jumpthrow, and X3 will be set for Runthrow. Mastering these binds can significantly elevate your performance in matches!
How to Execute a Grenade Throw While Jumping with a Bind in CS2?
This script is designed primarily to streamline the process of throwing grenades accurately over long distances. By following the step-by-step instructions outlined earlier, you can ensure that pressing the designated bind key during gameplay results in a precise throw. This accuracy is crucial in high-pressure matches, particularly on the professional circuit where every move counts.
If you’re looking to expand your knowledge of the grenades that can be thrown using these specific scripts, I recommend checking out content from specialized YouTubers and various gaming guides online. They often provide insights and tutorials that can enhance your gameplay experience and help you master the nuances of grenade mechanics.
Is the Jumpthrow Script Prohibited?
As of now, the Jumpthrow script is not banned! Players can use it freely in both matchmaking and at major Counter-Strike tournaments. However, it’s important to note that CS:GO does not have a built-in Jumpthrow feature, while CS2 has introduced a basic jump grenade throw mechanic. This development could suggest that additional scripts may face restrictions in the future, particularly in competitive tournament settings. Keeping an eye on updates from developers is essential, as rules can change quickly in the gaming world.
