How to play CS2 Retake mode
Pick Retake as the game mode on the Server page, start the server and connect. Every round starts with the bomb planted, and your team retakes or holds the site.
Start a retake server
- Open Server in the sidebar.
- On the Settings tab, pick Retake under Game Mode, and pick a Map.
- Press Apply changes and reboot. If the server is off, press Save changes and then Start.
- Copy the connect command next to the Game field and paste it into the CS2 console.
Retake mode is off while we update our plugins after a CS2 update. The menu then shows Retake (disabled during maintenance).

Retake commands start with !. Commands that start with a dot do nothing in retake mode. Most commands need server admin: every team member on a team server, or only you on a personal server.
