mp_items_prohibited

mp_items_prohibited is a console variable available in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It is used to define a list of exact items or weapons that players cannot use or buy on a server. The command was introduced on 2017-03-24.

Tip: To restrict armor, you can also use mp_max_armor.

Tip: To restrict grenades, you can also use mp_buy_allow_grenades or ammo_grenade_limit_[...].

Tip: To restrict weapon groups, you can also use mp_buy_allow_guns.

Syntax

mp_items_prohibited "<i>,<j>,<k>,..."
mp_items_prohibited <i>,<j>,<k>,...

As value, it takes a string of comma-delimited weapon definition indices (numbers) to prohibit on the server. Example values are 1,2,3 or "1,2,3".

Note: Avoid using spaces. When omitting the quotation marks, everything after the first space character is ignored. With quotation marks, spaces after a comma cause the next value to be invalid.

On successful prohibition, the game writes the names of the prohibited items in the console. Prohibited items cannot be bought and cannot be picked up; This is independent from an item's CanBePickedUp keyvalue. Items picked up before prohibition are unaffected, until they are dropped. To clear all prohibited items, use the value "" or 0.

Auto-equipped Items

For some inventory slots, players can equip different weapons. If the one they have equipped is prohibited, they will have an alternative auto-equipped. This concerns:

• P2000 and USP-S (IDs 32 and 61)
• Tec-9 and CZ75-Auto (IDs 30 and 63)
• Five-SeveN and CZ-75 Auto (IDs 3 and 63)
• Desert Eagle and R8 Revolver (IDs 1 an 64)
• MP7 and MP5-SD (IDs 33 and 23)
• M4A4 and M4A4-S (IDs 16 and 60)

Warning: The auto-equipping does not work if the inventory is locked, e.g. during a competitive match! If prohibiting the Desert Eagle during a competitive match, players having the Desert Eagle equipped will see the R8 Revolver in the buy menu but cannot buy it. It requires a restart of the current match: mp_restartgame 1.

Examples

Command	Game response in console	Effect
mp_items_prohibited "1" mp_items_prohibited 1	Prohibiting weapon_deagle	The Desert Eagle can no longer be bought or picked up. Everyone will have the R8 Revolver equipped in the Desert Eagle slot, assuming they haven't already.
mp_items_prohibited "1,64" mp_items_prohibited 1,64	Prohibiting weapon_deagle Prohibiting weapon_revolver	The Desert Eagle and the R8 Revolver can no longer be bought or picked up. Trying to buy something in that item slot will do nothing.
mp_items_prohibited "" mp_items_prohibited 0	-	Clears all items from being prohibited. They can be bought and picked up again.
