How to bind a jump-throw in Counter Strike 2

To create a jump-throw bind in CS2, you will need to make a copy of a config file, enter a few basic lines, and then run a single command just once.

• Go to your CS2 folder. On most PCs, it is located here:
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive
    • Unfortunately, CS2 is no longer supported for Mac users, so this only applies to the PC platform.
  • You can more easily reach this folder by right-clicking on CS2 in Steam, going to Manage, and clicking “Browse Local Files.”
• From here, open game\csgo\cfg
• Make a copy of any config or CFG file.
• Rename that new config file to ‘jumpthrow’, then open the file in Notepad and delete all the text. Then add these four commands:
  • +jump
  • -attack
  • -attack2
  • -jump
• Save the file.

• Once this file is saved, you can open CS2. Once you’re in, open the console command and type: bind [key] “exec jumpthrow”
  • Replace [key] with the key you want to use for a jump throw. We prefer to use Q, since it’s right next to WASD, and the default action for Q is to return to the previously used weapon, which we have never used.

Now when you are holding a grenade in your hand, pressing Q or whatever binding you prefer will perfectly time your throw with your jump.

Once you’ve got this ready, make sure you learn new smokes. These will come in handy and will surprise your teammates along the way. A jump-throw bind in CS2 can go a long way.

What are jump-throws used for in CS2?

Players in CS2 make jump-throws to guarantee they release a grenade at the exact time they want to—not a millisecond early or late. Many key smoke grenade and Molotov placements are reliant on a precise toss to land where they’re supposed to.

While CS:GO did not have an official key bind to combine jumping and throwing, many players found ways to program one in. Luckily, that ability carried over to CS2, allowing players to modify the game to their preferences.

How to jump throw in CS2

For players to jump-throw, you have to jump and throw the grenade at the highest point of the jump. The timing can be tricky, however with a lot of practice, the timing and skill will start to come naturally. A bind, however, will make your life a whole lot easier.

A bind for the command will eliminate the need for timing so you can focus more on the placement of your grenade. That way, you can stay an extra step ahead of the other team which may still be trying to work on their timing while you’re already rushing the point.

Problems with jump-throws in CS2

Jump-throws and movement in general have been troublesome in CS2‘s beginnings. The community has had a couple of complaints about gameplay: The most common grievance seems to be about CS2‘s sluggish movement, but fans and pro players are also concerned that CS2 lacks key bindings for certain actions that were possible in CS:GO.

Luckily, it isn’t difficult to create and implement bindings of your own for other tactics in CS2 like bunny-hopping. Creating these binds can help you reprogram the way you play down to the very inputs, which can in turn let you focus more on the gameplay.
