Trying to make it feel as if you're in space? Want to have a zero gravity dance party? Do you want to change the gravity in Counter-Strike? Changing gravity is like any other variable in Counter Strike, and it does not require a crazy amount of coding skills.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open up Counter Strike on your computer. Adjusting the gravity is not possible on the Xbox version, though there is a hidden low gravity mode that you can use. To change the gravity on your Xbox game:
    • On the start screen, press "START"
    • Press the following directions on the D-pad quickly: UP, RIGHT, RIGHT, UP, UP, LEFT[1]
  2. 2
    Enable the developer console. This is the window that allows you to change game variables on the fly. In Counter Strike 1.6 it is always enabled. To enable it:
    • Click on "Options" in the main menu.
    • Click on the Keyboard tab, then choose "Advanced."
    • Click on "Enable Developer Console (~)."
    • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive: In main menu, click the options tab and select "Game settings". Then search for the option "Enable developer console (~)" and change it from "No" to "Yes".

  3. 3
    Begin a private game. You can only change the settings on the game that you start. To get a private game going, you can play by yourself, or start your own online game. To start one, click Play → Play With Friends → Game Settings → Casual → Active Duty Group → Accept. When returned to the lobby screen click "Change permissions" until the text on the right displays "Private". Click accept and you will begin a game.
  4. 4
    Open the developers window mid-game. To do so, press the ~ / ` key, found on the upper left corner of your computer. This brings up a large text box. Scroll to the bottom so that you can add your new rule.
  5. 5
    Add the phrase "sv_gravity" followed by a 3 digit number to change the gravity. 800 is normal gravity. So, if you want half the normal gravity, type out "sv_gravity 400" (without the quotation marks). You can change this at any time through the game.
  6. 6
    Try out real gravities from across the solar system. Looking to play a game on Jupiter? Change the gravity so that it matches.
    • Mercury----302.4
    • Venus----725.6
    • Earth----800
    • Moon----132.8
    • Mars----301.6
    • Jupiter----1888
    • Saturn----732.8
    • Uranus----711.2
    • Neptune----896
    • Pluto----47.2
