How To Configure Player Respawn on Death on Your CS2 Server

Note:

You can apply these instantly via the server console or RCON. Leaving these set to 0 is essential for round-based modes like Competitive or Retakes. The commands mp_respawn_on_death_ct 0 and mp_respawn_on_death_t 0 disable instant respawns for Counter-Terrorists and Terrorists, respectively.
