Best CS2 Workshop Maps and Creators (September 2024)

CS2 has a lot of workshop maps and creators, but which ones should you keep an eye on or have in your game?

(Click on the links to go to the Steam Workshop page.)

Aim Training

This section features a few maps designed to enhance your aiming skills. Whether you're looking for a quick warm-up or a more challenging practice session, these maps offer a range of targets and scenarios to help you improve your accuracy and reflexes.

CSStats Training Map

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3070389038
CSStats lets you practice with still or moving bots, and it has an easy-to-use control panel. There are 3 modes, Range, Rush, and Shuffle. Range puts bots scattered around the area, so you can shoot them. Rush has the bots run towards you and you have to shoot them before they warp back. Shuffle has the bots in corners or the open, and they move back and forth. There are also some more options, like turning on Kevlar.
