If you have played games like Battlefield or Call of Duty, you might have noticed that you instantly respawn a few seconds after dying. However, you don’t respawn until the next round in CS2, at least for any of the ranked game modes. But in practice matches, you can set up instant respawns without waiting. Here’s a complete explanation of respawning in CS2.

A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Respawn in CS2
Respawning instantly is only possible in private or practice matches in CS2, and it requires using specific console commands. In public lobbies, you can only respawn in Deathmatch or by waiting for the next round in ranked modes. If you’re ready to enable instant respawn in a private match, follow the steps below to make sure your respawn settings are correct:
- Step 1: Launch CS2 and click the “Settings” icon in the upper left section of the home screen to open the settings menu.
- Step 2: Once inside the settings menu, click on the “Game” tab and then again the “Game” tab”.
- Step 3: Find the “Enable Developer Console” option and set it to the “Yes” setting.
- Step 4: From the home screen, click on “Play,” “Practice,” “Competitive,” and then “GO” to start a private match.
- Step 5: Once inside a custom match, press the “`” or the “~” key under the “Esc” key to open the console.
- Step 6: Inside the console, type mp_respawn_on_death_ct 1 and press the “Enter” key.
- Step 7: After that, type mp_respawn_on_death_t 1, press the “Enter” key, and now everyone who dies will instantly get respawned.
