How to Kick Yourself in CS:GO | Everything you Need to Know

CS:GO is a fantastic competitive shooter that can provide some of the most thrilling gameplay you’ll ever experience. However, it can also be the game that gives you the worst experiences of your life. Sometimes, things just go wrong. You might launch into a match and feel confident, but then you’ll start to miss shots, get killed, fail to kill your enemies, and much more. In these cases, you might just want to leave the game but don’t want to leave and get a penalty, but how do you do that? You get kicked. In this article, we’ll cover how to kick yourself in CS:GO so that you can rest and join a new match with a renewed perspective on what you’re doing.

It’s easy to kick yourself in CS:GO. There are only three steps you need to follow.

Press the “Caps Lock” button to activate a vote. You can also press the “ESC” button and choose the “Call Vote” button from the menu before pressing “Kick Player.“
Choose the player you want to kick from the menu. In this instance, it will be yourself.
Now your teammates will be able to participate in the vote by pressing the “F1” and “F2” buttons.

How to Vote to Kick Yourself in CS:GO

We’ve outlined the exact process of how to start a vote to kick yourself above. To make things really clear, though, you need to follow that process and then select yourself. If you select a different player, then you’ll start a vote to kick them.

Something else that’s important to bear in mind is that you won’t be automatically kicked out of a match just because you’ve initiated a vote. You need to be in communication with your team. Unless you’re playing extremely poorly and all the other players see that, they will be more focused on the game at hand. If you’re terrible, the other players might start the vote to kick you, but otherwise, they won’t know why there’s a vote to kick you.

Use the in-game chat to make it very clear that you’re having issues. If you say that you need to be kicked because there’s some problem, then the other players are much more likely to vote to kick you out of the match. If not, you probably won’t be able to leave the match. You need to get a couple of votes before you’re kicked, and that’s not easy if you’re not communicating.

Vote Kick Yourself CS:GO Command

You might be surprised to learn that there’s actually a console command that will cause you to be kicked from a match in CS:GO. You can only use it if you have enabled the developer console, though. Once that is enabled from the game’s main menu, you can open the console at any point and type in the following to initiate a vote to kick yourself.

First type in “status” to the console. This will bring up a list of player names with numbers next to them.
Find your player name and copy the number next to it.
Now type in “callvote kick ****” and replace the **** with the numbers you copied in the second point of this list.

By following this simple guide, you’ll trigger the vote to kick yourself from a match. The console uses the numbers associated with players to trigger the vote. All of this goes on in the background of the game when you follow the standard process for kicking a player anyway.

Now that you know how to vote to kick yourself out, get some new skins from Lootbear so that you can be sure that even if you’re playing bad in your next match, at least you look good.

How to Kick Another Player in CS:GO

You’ll be pleased to know that the way you kick other players is basically the same as the way you kick yourself. We’ve altered our step-by-step guide to show you exactly how to do this using in-game menus.

Press the “Caps Lock” button to activate a vote. You can also press the “ESC” button and choose the “Call Vote” button from the menu before pressing “Kick Player.“
Choose the player you want to kick from the menu. In this instance, it will be another player, the one you want to kick.
Now you and your teammates will be able to participate in the vote by pressing the “F1” and “F2” buttons.

As you can see, it’s the same as the process for kicking yourself. The key here is to find the player you want to kick in the menu and select them instead of you. This will still trigger a vote to kick that player, so there’s no guarantee that they’ll be kicked out. If you want to kick another player, it’s still best to communicate with your teammates so that they’ll vote with you.

If a player behaves in a way that all others don’t enjoy, then triggering the vote will probably see everyone voting to kick that player. Nobody wants to see a terrible player ruining a game or acting toxic, so everyone will vote them out if they have the opportunity. Still, it’s best to communicate to warn that player and then follow through by voting to kick them.

How to Kick Another Player with Commands in CS:GO

Once again, this process is almost the same as it is with triggering a vote to kick yourself. We’ve altered our command process below so that you can see what you need to do.

First type in “status” to the console. This will bring up a list of player names with numbers next to them.
Find the name of the player you want to kick and copy the number next to it.
Now type in “callvote kick ****” and replace the **** with the numbers you copied in the second point of this list.

The only difference here is that you are copying the number next to the name of the player you want to kick out of the match.

How to Kick Bots in CS:GO

Finally, we want to look at kicking bots out of a match in CS:GO. You might want to do this if there are too many bots in a match or if the bots don’t seem to be behaving in the right way. Sometimes this happens, and that’s because the bots have spawned without a certain piece of code. It may also be an issue with the game servers, meaning that bots don’t have all the data required to make them work in the right way.

There are a few commands you can use to kick bots in CS:GO. We’ve outlined what all of them are below. All you need to do is make sure that the developer console is enabled, and then type in one of the following.

bot_kick – This command kicks every bot out of the match.
bot_kick ct – With this command you will kick out every Counter-Terrorist bot.
mp_limitteams 1 – This command stops bots from joining the game.
bot_kick t – Using this command you will kick every Terrorist bot.
