How to change buy time in CS2

Type mp_buytime 20 in the server console to give players 20 seconds to buy each round, or mp_buytime 9999 so buying never closes.

mp_buytime

Sets how many seconds after the round starts players can still buy.

mp_buytime <seconds>

Examples

mp_buytime 20

The competitive buy window.

mp_buytime 9999

Buy at any time during practice.

Arguments

secondsRequired: Length of the buy period.

What it does

The buy window opens at the start of freeze time and closes this many seconds later. If it is shorter than mp_freezetime, players lose the chance to buy once the round goes live. Practice configs often set a huge value so the buy menu never closes.

The game's own description: How many seconds after round start players can buy items for.

Good to know

Competitive mode sets it to 20.
Players still have to stand in a buy zone unless mp_buy_anywhere is on.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to game/csgo/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS2 server first.
