You can tell most of them by the map prefix: jb_ is jailbreak, surf_ is surf, ze_ is zombie escape. ## All modes at a glance | Mode | Map prefix | CS2 maps in the Workshop | Most subscribed map | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Jailbreak](#jailbreak) | `jb_` `ba_jail` | 231 | jb_san_palmora | | [TTT](#ttt) | `ttt_` | 85 | ttt_nuketown | | [35HP knife](#knife) | `35hp_` `ka_` | 67 | 35hp_2 [Anubis] | | [Surf](#surf) | `surf_` | 909 | surf_utopia_njv | | [Bhop](#bhop) | `bhop_` | 783 | Bhop_Dunedash | | [KZ](#kz) | `kz_` `bkz_` | 456 | kz_grotto | | [Deathrun](#deathrun) | `deathrun_` `dr_` | 29 | deathrun_wraith | | [Minigames](#minigames) | `mg_` | 320 | mg_weapons_case_arenas | | [Zombie Escape](#zombie) | `ze_` | 1,196 | ze_backrooms_deathbed | | [Zombie](#zombie) | `zm_` | 338 | zm_biochemical_hotel | | [Hide & Seek](#hns) | `hns_` | 108 | hns_Pathfinder [PORTED] | | [1v1 arena](#arena) | `am_` | 377 | Am_redline_ngnw | | [AWP maps](#aim) | `awp_` | 495 | awp_training_dust_2 | | [Aim maps](#aim) | `aim_` | 943 | Aim_Rush / Aim training map | | [Fight yard](#aim) | `fy_` | 153 | fy_snow_original | ## Jailbreak CTs guard, Ts are prisoners. The warden gives orders, the Ts follow them or rebel. The last T alive gets a last request, a duel against a CT. Jailbreak maps have cells, an armory and areas for games, the prefix is `jb_` or `ba_jail`. - **[What is jailbreak in CS2?](https://hummeljail.de/en/what-is-jailbreak/)** Roles, round flow and terms. - **[CS2 jailbreak maps](https://hummeljail.de/en/jailbreak-maps/#list):** 83 maps with Workshop IDs, minigames and secrets. - **[Warden guide](https://hummeljail.de/en/warden-guide/)** and **[last request guide](https://hummeljail.de/en/last-request/)**. ## TTT (Trouble in Terrorist Town) At the start of each round every player gets a role. Most are **Innocents**. A few are **Traitors**, who know each other and have their own chat. One or more **Detectives** are known to everyone. The Traitors kill in secret, the others have to find out who they are. The round ends when one side is dead or the time is up. - **Bodies:** whoever identifies a body sees which role the dead player had. The killer stays hidden until someone scans the body. - **Shop:** roles buy items with credits, for example the DNA scanner (shows who killed a body), health station, hurt station, camouflage, body paint, poison shots, poison smoke and the one-hit knife. - **Karma:** killing the wrong people costs karma. With very low karma you have to sit out rounds. - **Special rounds:** some rounds change the rules, for example speed, bhop, pistol only, low gravity or vanilla without a shop. TTT maps start with `ttt_`. German TTT server: [Hummeltown](https://hummeltown.de/), `connect play.hummeltown.de:27016`. ## 35HP knife Everyone spawns with 35 HP and only the knife. A clean hit always does more than 35 damage and kills. If you spam the attack, the knife's cooldown kicks in, the hit stays under 35 and your opponent lives. - **No armor:** armor changes the damage, so it stays off. - **1HP maps:** on 1hp_ maps even a spammed hit kills, timing doesn't matter. - **Maps:** `35hp_` for the mode, `ka_` for classic knife maps. Some 35HP maps place grenades or molotovs. English 35HP knife only server: [Hummelknife](https://hummelknife.com/), `connect play.hummelknife.com:27017`. ## Surf Surf maps are made of angled ramps you slide along. Maps are rated by tier, Tier 1 is the easiest. Linear maps run in one line with checkpoints, staged maps are split into stages. Server settings for surf: `sv_surf_sounds` turns on the speed sounds, `sv_jump_precision_enable` turns off the newer jump precision. ## Bhop Bhop maps are courses you get through by bunny hopping, chaining jumps without losing speed. To play a bhop map offline: `sv_cheats 1; sv_enablebunnyhopping 1; sv_autobunnyhopping 1; sv_staminamax 0; sv_staminajumpcost 0; sv_staminalandcost 0; sv_airaccelerate 2000; sv_maxvelocity 3500; sv_falldamage_scale 0` ## KZ (climb) KZ maps are obstacle courses you climb through as fast as possible, against the clock. The CS2KZ plugin has its own modes, vanilla (VNL) and classic. Servers with the plugin are listed on [cs2kz.org](https://cs2kz.org/servers). Maps start with `kz_`, bhop-heavy ones with `bkz_`. ## Deathrun The runners have to get through a course full of traps. Maps start with `deathrun_` or `dr_`. ## Minigames MG maps are full of small games and courses. Classics from CS:GO like mg_lego_course have been ported to CS2. Maps start with `mg_`. ## Zombie Escape and zombie In **Zombie Escape** the humans have to get through the map while zombies chase them. Many maps have several levels. Maps with `zm_` are for other zombie modes. ## Hide & Seek Hide and seek on `hns_` maps. Many of them are movement maps. ## 1v1 arena Arena maps have many small arenas side by side, every player fights 1v1 against another. Maps start with `am_`, like am_arena_1v1. ## AWP, aim and fight yard maps `awp_` maps like awp_lego_2 are made for the AWP. `aim_` maps are for aim duels and aim training. `fy_` (fight yard) are small classic maps from CS 1.6 like fy_iceworld and fy_snow. ## Retakes Each round is an after-plant: the bomb is down and the CTs have to retake the site. Valve also has it as an official mode, 4 against 3 with loadout cards. Retakes run on normal defusal maps, there is no prefix. ## Questions about community game modes ### Does CS2 have jailbreak?
