How to Enable Fast Weapon Switching in Counter-Strike

Ever wondered how people can change guns so fast, or reload at seemingly super hero like speeds? Well its because they have fast weapon switching enabled. By default it is turned off. Fast weapon switching makes it so that when you hit 1 (primary gun) or 2 (pistol), 3 (knife), 4 (grenade) or 5 (bomb) it doesnt make you have to click to confirm. It will automatically and immediately change to that weapon. This is great for fast awp shooting, or super reloading.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Counter Strike installed via Steam
Step1
Open Counter Strike, and preferably be connected to a server so that you can test it.
Step2
Open the console. This is typically done by pressing the tilde (~) key on the keyboard
Step3
Once the console is open, type in hud_fastswitch "1" with or with out the quotes either way it should work. Press enter to accept. It is now setup.
Step4
Test it by pressing 1 and then 2 and back to 1 - if it switches immediately then its enabled. If not, go back and try without the quotes.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you have more then one greneade type, then pressing 4 will not auto switch to the grenade - you will still need to confirm and select which one you want manually.
