Team Fortress 2 Console Commands: Full List and Usage

Last updated: September 18, 2026

You control a Team Fortress 2 server through its console, which is the Console page in the NolimitHost Game Panel. You can also run commands remotely with RCON from inside the game.

RCON Basics

Command Description
rcon_password <password>Set (on the server) or enter (in-game) the RCON password.
rcon <command>Run a command on the server from the in-game console.
rcon_address <ip>Send RCON commands to a server other than the one you are in.

Once you have the password set, an in-game admin runs commands as rcon changelevel cp_process_f12, for example.

Map Commands

Command Description
changelevel <map>Change the map and keep players connected.
map <map>Change the map as a fresh start, disconnecting players.
nextlevel <map>Set the map to load when the current one ends.
maps *List all available maps.

Player Management

Command Description
statusList connected players with their user IDs, Steam IDs, IPs, and ping.
kick <name>Kick a player by name.
kickid <userid> <reason>Kick a player by user ID, with an optional reason.
