Counter Strike 2 is in the early phases of deployment, having only recently left private beta and entered public hands. As a result, some CS:GO features are still being ported to Counter Strike 2. Setting up bots on a server is a relatively quick addition that can help fill gameplay gaps when servers slow down. Bots can also be quickly added to servers via console commands, which is helpful for players who only want bots temporarily.

2. Go to the Files tab.
3. Find the following directory: /home/container/game/csgo/cfg
4. Open the server.cfg file. If not present, choose Create and select Create File.
