ABOUT THE MOD
What is War3CS2?
War3CS2 brings Warcraft 3-inspired heroes and abilities into Counter-Strike 2. Built using C# and CounterStrikeSharp, the mod follows in the footsteps of War3Source for Counter-Strike: Source.
Choose a race, develop your skills
Play as a race with its own abilities. Earn experience through gameplay, level up, and improve your skills. Some abilities activate automatically during play, while others are triggered using key binds.
Items and different playstyles
Use in-game currency to purchase items that provide additional bonuses. Races and items introduce different team strategies beyond traditional Counter-Strike gameplay.

HELP & GAME MECHANICS
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers summarized from the community wiki. Expand a question for details.
Can we have the old radio menus back?
No. CS2 no longer supports the previous radio menus. War3CS2 uses on-screen and console menus instead.
How do I use abilities and ultimates?
Bind the commands ability1, ability2, ability3, and ultimate for skills that need manual activation. Other abilities activate passively. See the keybinding guide.
How are attack and defense proc chances calculated?
Weapon fire rate affects the chance for attack- or victim-triggered skills to activate. Faster weapons generally have a lower chance per hit, and shotguns receive additional adjustment. The default minimum is 5%, unless a skill specifies a lower chance. See the wiki FAQ for the linked calculation sheet.
How does explosion distance affect damage?
Explosion skills deal full damage within the nearest 25% of their radius. Damage falls to 60% within 50% of the radius, 40% within 75%, and 20% beyond 75%.
How do multiple buffs stack?
War3CS2 applies diminishing returns to additional buffs beyond those native to your race. Each extra buff provides less benefit as your total bonus grows, while retaining a minimum effect. This also applies to qualifying items and auras.
How does XP work?
XP comes from kills, assists, objectives, supporting teammates, summoning, and reviving. Round wins and map objectives provide XP too. Bonuses can apply during Happy Hour, weekends, certain maps, and when Steam friends play together.
The wiki lists detailed XP values, level requirements, and boost formulas: read the XP breakdown.
Who develops War3CS2?
The wiki credits Lucky Prinny Overlord as the developer.
Is the mod open source?
No. According to the wiki, the mod's source code is not currently public.
Can I contribute to War3CS2?
The wiki especially welcomes potential help with maps and, in some cases, models. Development contributions are handled directly by the project developer.
How do I find races with a particular skill?
Search the wiki's races using a skill, buff, or debuff name, then narrow results to races.
How do I report a bug?
Use !bugreport in-game with a specific description. This supplies a game-state reference and timestamp for investigation. Add clips or screenshots to the Discord bug reports channel if you have them; avoid repeated duplicate reports.
What if I get stuck in the map?
Type stuck in chat to open the teleport menu. If you spawned inside another player, crouching and jumping may also separate you.
