Left 4 Dead 2 Example Commands

I’m going to be going over what commands do what with for the Left 4 Dead 2 tool.
So just follow my steps, and you should be good. I did this for Brink and QAA so why not Left 4 Dead 2? Enjoy. I’ll update it in a few.

Make sure you’re making these changes/binds in the “left4dead2_cfg_ss.cfg” portion of your save. Everything needs to go there. Such as binds, cvars, etc.

Get some commands you want. I’ve listed some below.

For those who don’t know “//” is just a statement.


//Note: "1" is equal to ON. "0" is to OFF. This is the basics for any bind.
//You may set any command to "0" to turn it off. Ex: God 1 = ON | God 2 = OFF.
//You can string together binds with a semi-colon.
//Example: sv_cheats 1; z_spawn boomer; z_spawn hunter

//Enable cheats. (Note: This MUST be on to do most binds!)
sv_cheats 1

//God mode enabled.

Only if i had l4d2 still.
good share.

Great thread. I think I will try this (:

Thanks Cody, i’m sure this will be a great help to many people who weren’t sure about this.

Do you mind if i used this is in my guide to horizon? Full credit will obviously be given :smile:

Feel free. Probably will just be added to Horizon ><

Using binds and what not is still patched for online use right?

Yeah, unfortunately.
Valve didn’t care, but Microsoft forced them to fix it.
