At times, playing a favorite shooter game can become tedious, and one may want to make it more exciting by making it unusual. In such cases, gamers often wonder if it’s possible to enable the ability to see through walls. The answer is yes, and this can be achieved by using cheats, with WallHack being the most popular cheat in the game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO). Other names for this cheat include WH and X-ray.
Before we discuss specific commands and codes for WallHack in CS:GO, it is important to note a few things.
Firstly, cheats can be used in the game in two ways: official built-in cheat commands present in the game or third-party programs that activate cheat capabilities in the game.
Secondly, using built-in cheats is not possible in official matchmaking. You can only use them in your local lobby, for instance, while playing with friends.
Thirdly, when using other programs to activate cheat mode, you should be aware that Valve, the company behind the game, actively fights against their use. For this reason, a special system called Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) has been introduced to the game to combat cheats. In the best-case scenario, you simply won’t be able to launch the game if you have third-party cheat programs installed. In the worst-case scenario, you may receive a permanent ban on your Steam account.
Activating cheat mode in CS:GO before turning on WallHack
Before using any cheats, you need to activate cheat mode by typing the command sv_cheats into the console, which has two options available:
- sv_cheats 1 – activates cheat mode in CS:GO sv_cheats 0 – deactivates cheat mode.
Next, to activate WallHack in CS:GO, we can recommend the following commands:
r_drawothermodels – the main command for activating WallHack
The most popular code to activate the wall-hack mode is r_drawothermodels. This command enables players to view through walls and see the locations of other players. The following are the recommended codes for this command:
- r_drawothermodels 2 – activates WallHack in CS:GO;
- r_drawothermodels 1 – deactivates the mode.
You can see the results of using this command in the following image:
mat_wireframe – wireframe mode
The second command that gamers may suggest for CS:GO cheats is mat_wireframe. This command enables players to display objects in the game as colored wireframes. In some game modes, the mat_wireframe command allows players to see through walls and thin obstacles, such as partitions and containers. The following image shows the result of using the command mat_wireframe 1:
enable_skeleton_draw – skeleton mode with WallHack capability
The last command that we would like to suggest is enable_skeleton_draw. Few people know and recommend this command. This code enables the display of skeletons on enemy figures, and the most interesting thing is that these skeletons are visible through walls. The command has two options:
- enable_skeleton_draw 1 – activates WallHack in CS:GO;
- enable_skeleton_draw 0 – deactivates the mode.
