How to Add Bots to CS 1.6

Bots are good at helping to train your shooting accuracy, and the timings on most cards become much easier to learn with their help. For professional players and those who want to raise the level of their skill to their level, bots are a mandatory stage of training. That is why AI is built into most modern builds, and even the original client from Valve had a built-in AI with which you could play in a single game. Subsequently, fans created their own versions of AI, which became more cunning and smarter, however, not all players sometimes know all the ways in which you can add bots to the match.

It is worth noting that the methods described below will work only if bots are installed on your build of CS 1.6. If bots are not added, they are not installed. You can download any build from our website and in any of them will be installed working bots from Valve.
