Counter-Strike: Global Offensive: Your game, your server

RCON Commands CSGO

Rcon stands for Remote Control and is the direct way to control a server through the console.
Before you can send commands to a server, you first need to execute the following in the console:
rcon_password PASSWORD
The Rcon password is set in Basic mode in the Rcon settings or in Advanced mode it is located in the server.cfg.
Important: Commands to the server usually need to be prefixed with rcon, for example rcon changelevel de_inferno.
Otherwise, the client will try to execute the command locally, which will fail.

Here is a small list of the most common rcon commands:
