Random Rounds in action
What is Random Rounds?
Random Rounds is a Counter-Strike 2 mod by xplay.gg that changes the rules of CS2 every round. Everyone gets the same random mix: wallhack, low gravity, only Zeus, ice skates, headshots only or any of 14 more modifiers, alone or in a pair. The next round deals a new combination, and while enough modifiers are on it shares none with the round just played. Warmup is played as usual. The lobby picks which modifiers can come up and how they are shown.
What you can tune
- Modifiers in the roulette: any of the 19 can be left out
- Modifiers in chat: each player is told the mix at the round start
- Icons on screen: the round's modifiers with names in the freeze time
The lobby owner changes these in the lobby's Mods tab before the match.
Why it's fun
Movement and size
Low gravity, speed ×1.9, bunnyhop, ice skates that keep the speed you gain, teleport to your ping, a tilted camera, and models at 0.6 of the size, twice as tall or a random size of 0.5–0.8 or 1.2–2 for each player.
Rounds with rules of their own
Invisibility while you make no sound, wallhack, plant C4 anywhere with the bomb shown on the radar, or decoy dodgeball: 1 HP and an endless decoy, so one hit kills.
Always know the mix
At the round start every player gets the modifiers in chat, green for what helps them and red for what gets in their way. During the freeze time they are also shown as icons with names.

FAQ
Do I need to install anything to play Random Rounds?
No. Random Rounds 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 Random Rounds?
Two players are enough: a 1v1 with only Zeus or in low gravity is a duel of its own. In a 5v5 play a full match, and rounds with plant C4 anywhere or decoy dodgeball become team games.
Can I change the Random Rounds settings?
Yes. In the lobby's Mods tab the owner sets which of the 19 modifiers can come up and whether the round's modifiers are shown in chat and as icons on screen.
Can I combine Random Rounds 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.
