HUD Commands

Below is a searchable list of all hud console commands from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. This category contains all of the CS:GO console commands that can be used to edit and optimize your heads-up display (HUD), such as changing its color or size.

How to Use CS:GO & CS2 Commands

    Go to Settings > Game Settings and set "Enable Developer Console" to "Yes".

  2. Press ` or ~ on your keyboard.

  3. Enter a command and hit ENTER on your keyboard to run it!

Enable or Disable Net_graph

To show the net_graph text (which shows FPS, latency, etc), type the following command into your developer console:

net_graph 1

To disable net_graph, use the following console command:

net_graph 0

Change Net_graph Size

The size of the net_graph HUD is changed with the net_graphproportionalfont command. You can set the font to its smallest size with:

net_graphproportionalfont 0

And you can set the net_graph to its largest size with this command:

net_graphproportionalfont 1

Change the number in the above command to a number between 0 and 1, 0 being smallest and 1 being largest to get the size that suits you.

Change HUD Size Command

Changing the size of the HUD (also known as the GUI) is done with the hud_scaling command. This command has a minimum value of 0.5 (the smallest you can make your HUD), which can be set with this command:

hud_scaling 0.5

The maximum value is 0.95 - this is the largest you can make the HUD. This value can be set with the following console command:

hud_scaling 0.95

To set your HUD size to something other than 0.5 or 0.95, replace NUMBER in the below console command with a number between 0.5 and 0.95 (e.g. 0.8):

hud_scaling NUMBER

Always Show Team Equipment Command

The "always show team equipment" feature is very useful. It allows for the equipment of your teammates to always be displayed above their head (even when out of spawn). This has two big benefits: you will always know where your teammates are, as their equipment will be displayed through walls, and you will also know what grenades and weapons your teammates have, so you don't have to ask them or guess.

To enable "always show equipment", type this command into your developer console:

+cl_show_team_equipment

If you want to hide the equipment HUD from above the heads of your teammates, you can disable this feature with this command:

-cl_show_team_equipment

HUD Color Command

The command that changes the color of your HUD is, unsurprisingly, called the cl_hud_color command. There are many colors to choose from, we've created a table with all of them (and the commands used to change to them). Simply copy your desired color command and paste it into your console to apply the color:

| | Pink |

Hide or Show the HUD

In order to enable or disable the HUD, you must first enable cheats on your server. You can do this by typing the following into the console:

sv_cheats 1

After enabling cheats, typing the following command into the console will disable (hide) the HUD:

cl_drawhud 0

To show the HUD after having hidden it, use the following command:

cl_drawhud 1
