Why Every CS2 Player Needs a Jump Throw Bind
Imagine this: You’re holding mid on Mirage, ready to execute a perfect window smoke. You jump, throw⌠and it falls short. The enemy AWPer picks you off instantly. Sound familiar?
This is why the jump throw bind is non-negotiable for competitive CS2 players. Unlike manual throws, which rely on split-second timing, a bind guarantees perfect smokes every single time. In fact, 83% of high-ranked players use a jump throw bindâbecause consistency wins rounds.
If you’re still manually timing your throws, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. Letâs fix that.

How to Set Up a Jump Throw Bind (Step-by-Step)
Method 1: The Quick Console Method
- Enable the Developer Console
- Open CS2 â Settings â Game
- Turn on “Enable Developer Console (~)”
- Open the Console & Enter the Bind
- Press ~ (tilde key, usually under ESC)
- Type:
bind “t” “+jump;-attack;-jump”
(Replace “t” with any keyâI prefer “t” for “throw.”)
- Test It Out
- Equip a smoke, press your bind key, and watch the magic happen.
Pro Tip: If the smoke doesnât release, double-check that -attack is included. This is the command that actually throws the grenade.

Method 2: The Permanent Autoexec Solution
Tired of re-entering your bind every time you launch CS2? Hereâs how to make it stick:
- Find Your CS2 Config Folder
- Navigate to:
Steam\userdata\[YOUR_ID]\730\local\cfg
- Create or edit autoexec.cfg
- Open the file in Notepad and add:
bind “t” “+jump;-attack;-jump”
host_writeconfig
- Force CS2 to Load It
- Go to Settings â Game â Launch Options
- Add:
+exec autoexec.cfg
Now your bind will work every time you launch the game.

Troubleshooting Common Jump Throw Bind Issues
1. The Bind Doesnât Work
- Cause: Missing -attack in the command.
- Fix: Ensure your bind looks like this:
bind “t” “+jump;-attack;-jump”
2. The Smoke Releases Too Late
- Cause: Wireless keyboard input lag.
- Fix: Use a wired keyboard or adjust your bind timing (see Advanced Tips below).
3. The Bind Disappears After Restarting CS2
- Cause: Not saving it in autoexec.cfg.
- Fix: Follow the Permanent Autoexec Solution above.

Advanced Jump Throw Techniques
1. Multiple Binds for Different Smokes
Some lineups require slight delays. Create a second bind:
bind “y” “+jump;-attack;-attack2;-jump” // Slightly delayed throw
This is useful for smokes like Mirage A-site default.

2. Practice in an Offline Server
Use these commands to practice endlessly:
sv_cheats 1
sv_infinite_ammo 2
give weapon_smokegrenade
(For more practice commands, see our CS2 Practice Commands Guide.)
3. Combine with Grenade Binds
Speed up your utility usage with dedicated binds:
bind “f” “use weapon_flashbang”
bind “g” “use weapon_smokegrenade”
