Frequently asked questions

Yes. S2x allows controller aim assist by default in Multiplayer. Server owners can disable it with sv_allowAimAssist 0, so availability depends on the server.

Open the console and set the stick deadzone. For example:

gpad_stick_deadzone_min 0.15

Lower values respond to smaller stick movements. Increase the value if you notice stick drift. The range is 0 to 1, and the setting is saved.

Use gpad_stick_deadzone_min 0.2 to restore the default.

With a game mode running, press the grave accent ` or tilde ~ key. Type a command and press Enter. Press the same key again to close the console.

Enter this in the console to show the FPS counter:

cg_drawFPS 1

Use cg_drawFPS 0 to hide it. The setting is saved.

In Multiplayer or Zombies, enter:

cg_drawPing 1

Ping appears while you are in a match. Use cg_drawPing 0 to hide it.

Use the Field of View slider in the game's settings menu. S2x raises its maximum to 160.

You can also adjust FOV scale separately through the console:

cg_fovScale 1.2

The default scale is 1. Use cg_fovScale 1 to restore it.

In Multiplayer or Zombies, the host or server owner must enable cheats first. Host a match and enter this in your console, or enter it in your dedicated server's console:

sv_cheats 1

Then use these commands from your in-game console while alive. Enabling cheats allows other players on that server to use them too.

• noclip: fly through walls and map geometry.
• ufo: use an alternative free-flight movement mode.
• god: toggle god mode for invulnerability.
• demigod: take damage without your health dropping below 1.
• notarget: make AI enemies ignore you.
• give weapon_name: give yourself a weapon with ammo.
• take weapon_name: remove a weapon from your inventory.

Replace weapon_name with the weapon's internal name. Run listassetpool 48 in the console to list the internal names of currently loaded weapons.

Enter noclip, ufo, god, demigod or notarget again to switch it off. Turn off any active modes before disabling cheats with sv_cheats 0.

In Campaign, these commands work without enabling sv_cheats.

Put .gsc files in s2x\scripts\mp for Multiplayer and Zombies, or s2x\scripts\sp for Campaign. For example:

s2x\scripts\mp\example.gsc

Scripts placed directly in s2x\scripts load in all modes. Use the appropriate mode folder unless the script supports all of them.

GSC gameplay scripts run on the host. Put them on your dedicated server or in the game installation where you host a match. Adding one to your own files does not change someone else's server.

S2x compiles the source when a map loads and calls its main() and init() entry points when present. Start a new match or restart the server after adding a script.

Give each UI mod its own folder containing __init__.lua. For Multiplayer and Zombies, use:

s2x\ui_scripts\mp\my_mod\__init__.lua

For Campaign, use s2x\ui_scripts\sp\my_mod\__init__.lua. For a mod that supports all modes, use s2x\ui_scripts\my_mod\__init__.lua.

A loose .lua file directly inside ui_scripts is not loaded automatically. Keep any accompanying files inside the mod's folder.

Restart the game mode after adding the mod, or run lui_restart in the console to reload the UI. UI scripts belong in your client installation; dedicated servers do not load them.

No. Unlocks are optional. Open Unlocks from the Soldier menu in Multiplayer or Zombies to choose the available options.

The item and loot toggles override availability. Progression unlocks permanently change saved stats and ask for confirmation before applying them.

Check the installation troubleshooting or server hosting guide. For help on Discord , use #help-client for game and client issues or #help-server for hosting.
