How to Change the Map of Your CS:GO Server

It's important to note that the maps available to you are determined by the active game type and game mode. This means you can't play a Danger Zone map on a competitive server for example.

Note: You can view a list of all available maps, as well as the game modes that they are available on, on this wiki page.

Voting to Change the Current Map

Players can call a map vote in-game so that everyone online can vote for the new map. Whichever map gets the most votes is selected.

If the vote succeeds, the map will instantly change to the voted map, regardless of the current game state. If there is only one player online, the vote always passes.

  1. While connected to the server, press the escape key.
  2. Click Call Vote.
  3. Select Change Map...
  4. Select the map you want to start a vote for.

Using Console to Change the Current Map

This will instantly change the server map to the map specified, regardless of the current game state.

  1. Access your control panel and Start your server.
  2. Navigate to Console.
  3. Enter the command changelevel [Map Code].

How to Change the Default Map

  1. Access your control panel and Stop your server.
  2. Navigate to Files > Config Files.
  3. Click CSGO Server Settings.
  4. Enter your chosen map's Map Code in the Map field.
  5. Save and Start your server.
