Finding your CS:GO config file (cfg) is pretty straightforward. You'll need to navigate to your Steam installation directory, which usually is in 'Program Files (x86)' on Windows. From there, go to 'Steam', 'userdata', and then you'll have to find your Steam ID number's folder. Not always easy, but stick with it! Inside, look for '730' (that's the CS:GO game code), then 'local', 'cfg', and boom, you're there. Your config files will be sitting pretty, waiting for your tweaks.

Just Google 'CS:GO config file location', and follow the first video tutorial. Why bother navigating folders when a 2-minute video can show you exactly where to go, right?

Dude, just use the in-game console to make changes. Who even bothers with config files anymore?

Honestly, messin' with cfg files is old school. Most settings you need are in the game's options menu. But if you’re into that, the path is like a treasure hunt through your Steam user data folder.
