CS2D is a free-to-play multiplayer shooter, initially released in 2004 and put on Steam in late 2017. With this guide, you'll be able to grind out every single achievement all on your own. We'll use bots, custom maps, console commands, and even open multiple non-Steam instances of the game in order to do this. No port-forwarding is required for server hosting.

This guide can be used non-chronologically, but is designed such that a new achievement hunter should go through it in order. Given that the server settings change throughout the guide, it's best that you run through from top-to-bottom. If anything in the guide is inaccurate, unclear, or unoptimized, please leave a comment and I'll try my best to assist.

If you don't already have AutoHotKey (AHK) installed, download it here: https://www.autohotkey.com/

We will be using AHK to script some of the grindier achievements. All sections of the guide that feature AHK scripts have visible headers in case you'd like to set the scripts up ahead of time. If you have issues with any scripts, make sure you have the latest version of AHK installed.

There's a few custom maps out there that work really well for grinding out achievements quickly, some of which I made myself for the purposes of this guide. If any of the download links go down, all of them are available via the Wayback Machine.

Extract each of the downloaded files, then move all of their contents into your maps folder:

Before setting up a server, you might as well grab the "Map Creator" achievement first.

• On the main menu, select "Editor."
  
• Select the lightbulb icon.
  
• Select "Info_T" and click anywhere on the map.
  
• Select "Info_CT" and click anywhere on the map.
  
• Select the save icon.
  
• Name your map anything.
  
• Click "save" and the achievement will unlock.

On the main menu, click "New Game" to begin creating your server.

For our soloing purposes, no port-forwarding will ever be necessary, even when we begin doing the 6+ players achievements with multiple instances of the game. We'll get to that later, once we begin work on those achievements.

Make sure your settings are the same for each tab in the server creation menu, which looks like this:

All of these settings are important. Whenever we change settings for different achievements throughout the guide, that will be noted accordingly. Restarting the server is generally not necessary to change these settings.

This is where server settings are. Most importantly for you, it's where you can change the game mode and "Fog of War" setting. Many of these settings will already be what you need by default.

This is where you select the server's current map.

Most settings won't need changing from the defaults, but here's what you should have.

This is where bot settings can be changed. We'll change these occasionally.

No need to change anything here.


You should now be ready to start your server.

There's a couple achievements that you can get pretty much instantly. Once you enter the server, close out the pop-up texts and join "Counter-Terrorists." You can pick any of the four proceeding options, it won't make a difference.

• Press the "Y" key to open the server chat and enter "rank"

• Press the "T" key to spray a decal.

The two Capture the Flag achievements are also easy. Game mode doesn't make a difference, as the flags are part of the map regardless.

• Walk through each of the 10 empty flag poles.

• Walk through the red flag, then bring it to the blue flag.

⠀

All weapon-specific achievements that can be obtained using bots are listed below.

• Pick up the flare and throw it anywhere.

• Press Esc and go to "Server Settings"
  
• Under the "Server" tab, set "Fog of War" to "Off"
  
• Click "Okay" to apply changes.

These all have descriptions of "Kill X number of enemies with Y weapon" and can be done quickly. Press G to drop weapons (when switching guns, or if reloading is too slow for you).

For these, I've put together a simple image with labels on each weapon, which tells you how many kills you need in order to get its respective achievement. Note the "Ignore" superscripts.
[1]: The M249 doesn't have an achievement that's doable with bots. See "Heavy Metal!" later on in the guide.
[2]: We already used this for the "I can see you!" achievement.
[3]: Molotovs don't have achievements tied to them.

• Press Esc and go to "Server Settings"
  
• Under the "Bots" tab, set "Join Team" to "Counter-Terrorists"
  
• Under the "Map" tab, select "map_zombie_apocalypse_achievement"
  
• Click "Okay" to apply changes.

Wait for the server to complete the map change.

• Join the "Zombies" side.
  
• Spam left-click to attack the survivors and respawn.

Once there are no longer any survivors left, do the following:

• Press Esc and go to "Bots"
  
• Click "Remove All"

Now, all of the bots will respawn as survivors, meaning you can get kills again. Repeat this process until the achievement unlocks (doesn't take long).

Next we'll grind out 5000 bot kills and 666 zombie kills. We can do these achievements simultaneously.

• Press Esc and go to "Server Settings"
  
• Under the "Server" tab set the "Game Mode" to "Zombies!"
  
• Under the "Bots" tab, set "Join Team" to "Terrorists"
  
• Under the "Map" tab, select "map_achievementhuntv0.1"
  
• Click "Okay" to apply changes.

You don't want any bots on your side, but the game will automatically place them there upon changing to the Zombies! game mode. To change this:

• Press Esc and go to "Bots"
  
• Click "Remove All"

All of the bots should be zombies now.

To enable console:

• Press Esc and go to "Options"
  
• Under the "Controls" tab, set the "Console" keybind to ~ (located right about "Movement")
  
• Click "Okay" to apply changes.

Press ~ and then paste the following commands into the console:
Press Esc to close the console

• Spam the K and L keys on your keyboard until you unlock all bot-kill achievements.

This should take no longer than a minute if you spam really quickly. Given it's so quick, a script isn't all that necessary, but if you'd like to use one, the one shown in the "Human Kills + Assists" section of the guide should work just fine.

This section does not include "Real Estate;" see the final section of the guide entitled "Spending Grind" for this achievement.

• Press Esc and go to "Server Settings"
  
• Under the "Server" tab change "Game Mode" to "Construction."
  
• Under the "Map" tab, select "map_achievementhuntv0.1"
  
• Click "Okay" to apply changes.

• Enter the section on the left.
  
• Right-click to enable build mode.
  
• Right-click again on an adjacent square (should be flashing green)
  
• Select "Barricade"

Once the barricade finishes building itself, you can place another one. If you run out of money, walk over the gold bars on the right side of the room to get it back.

• Rinse and repeat 50 times.

Repeat the same process, except select "Barbed Wire" in the build menu. These place instantly.
Note: this particular achievement can be unlocked even quicker if done during the "Real Estate" grind, which repeatedly places barbed wire until you hit $1,000,00 spent on buildings. Feel free to skip doing this achievement until reaching that section.
Repeat the same process, except select "Wall III" in the build menu. These take about 5 seconds to place, so walk along the gold while they build to be efficient. This achievement is a bit slow.

You'll probably notice that about half of the achievements require "6+ players multiplayer only" or are "bots excluded." Luckily, gathering 5 friends is completely unnecessary.

• Download "Win Client Zip" from this link: https://www.cs2d.com/download.php
  
• Extract the folder anywhere.
  
• Open "CS2D.exe" 5 times.

To have these other instances join your server:

• On the main menu, click "Find Servers"
  
• Wait under the "LAN" tab for a few seconds on each non-Steam instance.
  
• Refresh if you have issues with it popping up, or try connecting to IP directly.
  
• Once it appears, join on all instances.

While doing these achievements, just be sure that you're meeting achievement unlock requirements on the Steam instance, otherwise they obviously won't pop.

Make sure your server is still on map_achievementhuntv0.1.

• Press Esc and go to "Server Settings"
  
• Under the "Bots" tab, uncheck "Auto Fill" and set the value to 0.
  
• Click "Okay" to apply changes.
  
• Press Esc again, click "Bots," and click "Remove All" to kick all bots permanently.

We should only have "human" players now.

• Join "Terrorists" on all 5 of your non-Steam instances. Click to respawn if necessary.
  
• On your Steam instance (server host, CT) take the M249 and kill an enemy.

This will simultaneously unlock "FIRST BLOOD!"

• Grab any sniper rifle (the four guns at the bottom)
  
• Right-click twice to enable 2x scope
  
• Kill an enemy

• Press Esc and go to "Server Settings"
  
• Under the "Server" tab, set "Game Mode" to "Standard" (won't work on Construction)
  
• Open console and paste the following:
  
  spawnitem 45 20 10
• Grab the laser rifle (spawns in the corridor section of the map)
  
• Kill a single enemy, then right-click to change laser color
  
• Repeat the previous step three more times

• Open console and paste the following:
  
  spawnitem 48 20 10
• Grab the rocket launcher (spawns in the corridor section of the map)
  
• Kill an enemy

• Press Esc and go to "Server Settings"
  
• Under the "Map" tab, select "map_zombie_apocalypse_achievement"
  
• Click "Okay" to apply changes.
  
• Join "Terrorists" on your Steam instance, and "Counter-Terrorists" on the other instances.
  
• Make sure your knife is equipped (use scroll wheel if not)
  
• Kill all 5 enemies, wait for the next round, then kill them again

• Press Esc and go to "Server Settings"
  
• Under the "Map" tab, select "hostages_achievement_map_easy"
  
• Join your Steam instance on "Counter-Terrorists" and all other instances on "Terrorists"
  
• Go up to each of the 25 hostages and press the E key
  
• Walk up and down the right wall until all hostages are "rescued"

Make sure your server's game mode is set to "Standard."
If the game mode is not set to "Standard," invincibility frames will occur, slowing the kill assists grind to a crawl.

We can quickly do 5000 kills and 5000 kill assists with console commands and a simple AutoHotKey script. Make sure you go through this section in order, as the 5000 kills script relies upon keybinds set up in the 5000 kill assists section.

• Press Esc to close the console
  
• Press tab and hover over each "Player" to see their "ID"
  
• Find the instance that runs the player with the ID of 2 and swap it to "Counter-Terrorists"

• On the Terrorist's instance, plant the bomb by pressing 5 and LMB. Immediately start counting.
  
• A little after it's been 4 seconds, on your Steam instance you need to press and hold E on the bomb to defuse.

This might take a few attempts, but the timing isn't too difficult to get down. Do whatever works for you.

• On your Steam instance, join "Terrorists" and set all non-Steam instances to "Counter-Terrorists
  
• Plant the bomb and wait for it to explode.
