User Guide For End Users ​

Welcome to CS2Inspect! This guide will help you get started with using the application to customize your CS2 loadouts.

What You Need ​

To use CS2Inspect, you need:

  • A Steam account (for login)
  • A web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari)
  • An internet connection
  • A CS2 server with CS2Inspect Plugin installed (required for in-game application)

Plugin Required

CS2Inspect requires the CS2Inspect Plugin to be installed on your CS2 server. The web application lets you configure loadouts, but the plugin applies them in-game. Without the plugin, you can configure loadouts on the web, but they won't be applied when you join a server.

Plugin Repository: https://github.com/sak0a/CS2Inspect-Plugin

Getting Started ​

1. Access the Application ​

Navigate to the CS2Inspect website in your web browser. The URL will be provided by your server administrator or community.

2. Log In with Steam ​

  1. Click the "Login with Steam" button
  2. You'll be redirected to Steam's login page
  3. Enter your Steam credentials (your password goes to Steam, not CS2Inspect)
  4. Authorize the application
  5. You'll be redirected back to CS2Inspect, now logged in

Security Note

CS2Inspect uses Steam's official OpenID system. Your Steam password is never seen or stored by CS2Inspect. Only your public Steam ID and profile information are used.

3. Create Your First Loadout ​

Once logged in, you'll start with a default loadout:

  1. Click the loadout selector (usually at the top of the page)
  2. Click "New Loadout"
  3. Enter a name for your loadout (e.g., "Competitive", "Casual", "Red Theme")
  4. Click "Create"

Your new loadout is now active and ready to customize!

In-Game Application

After configuring your loadout on the web, join a CS2 server with the CS2Inspect Plugin installed. Your loadout will be automatically applied when you spawn. The plugin reads your loadout configuration from the database and applies it in-game.

Customizing Your Loadout ​

Weapons ​

To customize a weapon:

  1. Select the weapon from the weapon grid or menu

    • Change knife: !knife <type> (e.g., !knife karambit)
    • Change knife + customize: !karambit doppler4 .02 s991 t444 (switch and configure in one command)
    • Change gloves: !glove <type>
    • Change gloves + customize: !sport superconductor .02 s991 (switch and configure in one command)
    • Change agent: !agent <type>
    • Configure weapon: !g <weapon> <config> (e.g., !g ak47 printstream .02)
    • View all commands: !cs2inspect
    • Use Steam inventory items: !knife inventory, !glove inventory, etc.
    • Reset to vanilla: !knife default, !glove default, etc.
