FAQ
Does bot_difficulty need sv_cheats?
No. bot_difficulty is not cheat-protected in CS2's command list, but it is a server setting, so it only changes things on a server you run or an offline game.
What is the default value of bot_difficulty?
The default is 1. To reset it, type bot_difficulty 1 in the console.
