How To Install Plugins On CS2
At Game Host Bros, you can get Metamod, CounterStrikeSharp and some plugins installed on your CS2 server with a single click.
Installing Metamod & CounterStrikeSharp
The first thing you need to do is to install Metamod Source and CounterStrikeSharp. You can install it by simply enabling modding in our Game Panel.
- Load the Game Host Bros Panel and select your CS2 server.
- In the left-hand menu, click
Configuration > Startup Parametersand toggle on the settingEnable Modding. - Restart the server.
Everything you require to install mods and plugins on your CS2 server is now configured and ready to use. Everything will be automatically updated once your server restarts.
If you disable this setting, your /game/csgo/addons folder will be renamed to disable any plugins from loading. If you re-enable modding it will install a fresh version of CS# and Metamod without affecting the plugins or configs you previously installed in the renamed addons folder. This is good for testing if a plugin has broken your server. You will need to manually restore your plugins by renaming the addons folder if you do this, or simply contact a bro.
Installing Plugins
We have some CounterStrikeSharp plugins already added to our 1-click Mod Manager.
- Load the Game Host Bros Panel and select your CS2 server.
- In the left-hand menu, click
Tools > Mod Manager. - Look for the plugin you want to install.
- Click the Install button then restart the server.
You can check if the plugin is loaded by typing css_plugins list into the console. If you manually need to install a plugin, the most common folder you need to upload them to is /game/csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins.

Setting a custom Metamod & CounterStrikeSharp version. (Advance Settings)
By default, when you’ve turned on Enable Modding, we will keep Metamod and CounterStrikeSharp up to date with the latest version when your server starts. However there are times where you might need to run an older version for compatibility reasons.
Here are the settings you need to change under Configuration > Startup Parameters if you want to run a specific version.
