Examples

ExampleDescription
sv_showimpacts_time 55 seconds - impact markers fade quickly

Pro Tip

Use 10 seconds for general practice, longer for detailed spray pattern study.

For this command to work you must first run sv_cheats true in the console. It only works on a local map or a private server — not in matchmaking. sv_cheats is a built-in Valve command and is completely safe from VAC.
