How to enable wallhack in CS2?

The ability to see enemies through walls is a serious advantage in any shooter. In Counter-Strike 2, this effect is also possible — we're talking about wallhack (WH). Below, we’ll break down how WH works in CS2, why it can be useful during training, and why using it in matches is a bad idea. We’ll also touch on topics relevant to all CS2 players.

Wallhack via console command

On training servers, you can use the console command r_drawOtherModels 2 to see enemy models through walls. This only works when cheats are enabled (sv_cheats 1), and cannot be used in competitive matches.

This mode is useful for practicing wallbangs, working on positioning, and fine-tuning your CS2 configs. Many players use WH during aim training or when analyzing strategies on various maps.

Why installing cheats is a bad idea

Third-party programs with WH may offer visual advantages, but they always come with risks. The most obvious is a VAC ban, which cuts off access to matchmaking and disables features related to CS2 skins, trading, and your inventory.

Additionally, cheat programs often contain malicious code — from keyloggers to hidden crypto miners. Using cheats isn’t just risky, it’s a violation of the rules. In any reliable CS2 case site rankings, you’ll never see platforms promoting cheats: fair play is a core principle of the community.

How to “see” through walls the fair way

You can build great map awareness in CS2 without using cheats. Here’s how:

Set up proper sound — CS2 configs can help you enhance footstep and gunshot clarity.

Use a good headset and listen to the map — you can pinpoint enemies based on audio.

Communicate with teammates — team calls help cover blind spots.

Study the game — understanding the meta, rotations, and map control lets you anticipate enemy moves.

All this gives you a huge edge, especially if you're actively playing and climbing the CS2 ranks without risk.
