Console & Configs
A few settings and binds make ZE significantly more comfortable to play. None of these are mandatory, but they’re widely used by experienced players.
Enabling the console
Section titled “Enabling the console”In CS2: Settings → Game → Enable Developer Console → Yes
Open with ~ (tilde) by default.
Useful binds
Section titled “Useful binds”Mute voice chat selectively
Section titled “Mute voice chat selectively”Type voice_enable 0 to mute all voice. Use the scoreboard to mute individual players (tab → right-click name).
Scoreboard
Section titled “Scoreboard”Keep the scoreboard bound somewhere accessible, you’ll use it to check who has items, who is zombie, and to mute players.
Volume settings
Section titled “Volume settings”ZE relies on audio cues heavily. Recommended:
- Master volume: to taste, but not muted
- Music: some players mute in-game music to hear callouts more clearly
