Knife only or pistols only
Knife only takes away guns, grenades and the Zeus and leaves nothing to buy or pick up: every round is a knife fight. Pistols only takes the primary, and only pistols, grenades and gear can be bought or picked up.

Loadout in action
What is Loadout?
Loadout is a Counter-Strike 2 mod by xplay.gg that controls what players have on spawn and what they are allowed to hold. Two ready sets turn the match into knife only or pistols only. A custom set takes anything away from the usual kit, hands out any weapon, grenade or piece of gear, and bans the items you choose or allows only them. Buying and picking up from the ground can be switched off, dropped weapons can vanish and everyone can spawn with the same money. The lobby picks the set, the buying and pickup rules, the money and who gets it.
What you can tune
- Loadout: standard, knife only, pistols only or a custom set
- Custom set: what to take and give on spawn, with bans or an allow-list
- Buying and picking up from the ground: on or off
- Dropped weapons vanish; weapons on the map stay or go
- Own money on spawn: from 0 to 16000
- Who gets it: everyone, one side, a team, random or picked players
The lobby owner changes these in the lobby's Mods tab before the match.
Why it's fun
Build your own kit
Take anything away from the usual kit and hand out any weapon, grenade or piece of gear on spawn. Then ban the items you choose or allow only them: what was handed out stays in hand, but buying and picking up follow the list.
Money and the ground
Switch buying off and any purchase is refunded and taken away. Picking up from the ground can go too, dropped weapons can vanish (the bomb stays), and everyone can spawn with the money you set, from 0 to 16000.
One side on knives
Give the loadout to everyone, one side, a lobby team, random players each round or the players you pick. The rest spawn with the usual kit and buy as usual.

FAQ
Do I need to install anything to play Loadout?
No. Loadout runs on the xplay.gg game server. You only need CS2 and a Steam account: connect to the match and the mod is already working.
How many players do I need for Loadout?
Two players are enough for a knife-only duel. In a 5v5 try pistols only with 16000 money on spawn: every round is a full-buy pistol fight.
Can I change the Loadout settings?
Yes. In the lobby's Mods tab the owner picks a ready loadout or builds a custom one, turns buying and pickups on or off, makes dropped weapons vanish, removes the weapons on the map, sets the spawn money and chooses who gets it.
Can I combine Loadout with other mods?
Yes. Turn on more mods in the lobby's Mods tab. If two mods can't run together, the lobby tells you before the match starts.
Does playing mods affect my CS2 rank?
No. Personal matches on xplay.gg are separate from Valve matchmaking and don't change your Premier or Competitive rank.
Ready to try Loadout?
One click: the lobby opens with the mod on. Invite friends and start the match.
