OPEN 5v5 MATCHMAKING →A few useful things.
What do I need installed?
Install Counter-Strike 2 through Steam and launch it once. Keep Steam open when using a connection button. If your browser asks to open Steam, allow it to continue into the game.
How do I find my assigned match?
Return to matchmaking for the ready check and map veto. When your server is ready, open Servers for your connection button and the option to copy the console command.
Are my cosmetics shared between regions?
Yes. Your Steam account and saved cosmetics are shared. Regional ranked results are separate. The skin changer is currently being tested on Flying Scoutsman; choose your T and CT loadouts separately in the Skin Studio.
