Testing Wallbangs in CS:GO

The console command sv_showimpacts_penetration allows you to test wallbangs in CS:GO. It’s pretty useful, becuase it shows you several information like the travel distance of your bullet, the applied damage and the material names you are shooting through.

How to start a local server for practice purposes

To start a local server please open your console and type in “map MAPNAME” (e.g. map de_dust2). It should automatically start a casual match against bots on your selected map. Notice: It doesn’t matter if you start a casual or competitive match as our practice config will change all relevant settings. There is also a slower way through the official menus:

How to install and execute the practice.cfg

    1. Download the practice config from our website (clutchround_practice_config.zip)
    2. Unzip/extract the config file, so you have a file called “practice.cfg”
    3. Move/Copy the config file to your CS:GO cfg folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg)
    4. Start a local server
    5. Open the console and type in “exec practice.cfg”

Remember to change each bind inside the practice.cfg to the key you wish!
The game will restart and all the settings are now enabled. You can also check the console for the echo “CLUTCHROUND.COM PRACTICE CONFIG LOADED” to see if it worked.
