One of Counter-Strike 2’s best features is the game’s creative community. Fans worldwide have been creating maps for years, posting them on Steam Workshop and announcing them on Reddit. The community then plays these maps, offering a unique experience that sometimes surpasses what Valve offers in the base game.
The blix.gg team has compiled their top maps based on player feedback and their own experiences. There’s something for everyone, from aim trainers to 5v5.

Top CS2 Workshop Maps
Aim Botz – Aim Training
Map Aim Botz
Players ask about the best maps for target practice, but the best map of all time will remain Aim Botz – Aim Training.
The Aim Botz community map is designed as a single-player training mode where gamers can practice their shooting skills.
The map features bots and a customizable environment, so players can emulate the situations they usually encounter in competitive games. This is the place to go if you need a warm-up before a game or are honing your shooting skills.

Assembly
Assembly
This map is perfect for CS2 partners. Even though it was created in the workshop, its level of detail is comparable to Valve’s official maps, and it’s even very playable.
Assembly is an excellent example of what can be achieved in Source 2, which is why it is one of the best CS2 workshop maps. This map has a more cramped environment, and the match occurs in enclosed spaces, as the venue is a hangar.
The map was developed by four community members – Almaas, Quoting, Thomas, and Huvaligen.
Memento and Assembly community maps have been added to the Wingman map set. You can learn more about this in our article CS2 Update Is Out: New Maps And Other Implementations.
Only Up!
Only Up!
You might think we’re crazy, but many players love this map, and so do we. It may seem overly complicated and gimmicky, but it’s a great way to practice vertical movement whether you’re new to the game or have been playing for a while.
The vast map has many obstacles; you won’t have to shoot, but you will have a lot of fun. It’s a fantastic way to improve your movement in the game.
Pool Day
Pool Day
Pool Day is an absolute classic of the game. The map dates back to Counter-Strike 1.6 and has been remade for CS2, showing off all the new lighting mods. You can’t play it in bomb-defusing modes, but you can in Deathmatch.
Here are some updates about Pool Day and Dust 2 on Twitter.
Memento (Wingman)
Memento (Wingman)
Memento captivated players with its breathtaking spawn point, set against a backdrop reminiscent of the serene Lake Como, an Italian wedding scene. This map evokes comparisons to the iconic Star Wars Episode II location. It is considered incredibly beautiful on Reddit.
CS_Minecraft_landscape
CS_Minecraft_landscape
When it comes to games that have had a significant impact on the world, Minecraft undoubtedly has influenced the world. The custom map Cs_minecraft_landscape is an absolute treat for all amateur builders. It recreates the game’s environment with blocky objects.
You will find many locations, obstacles, and opportunities for jumping and practicing tricks here.
Akiba
Akiba
Akiba is a map designed for 5 on 5. All the action takes place at a technology exhibition in one of Tokyo’s neighborhoods. The map’s level of detail and thoughtfulness are similar to those of the official maps and Assembly.
It is a two-level map that may appeal to Vertigo fans.
crashzâ Crosshair Generator v4
crashzâ Crosshair Generator v4
Although the CS2 settings menu is now handy enough to create a good crosshair, many people still need to learn to use Crosshair Generator v4 out of habit. The advantages are obvious: you can see in-game how the crosshair changes with each customization and shoot at bots to see how well your customizations work.
Crosshair settings can also be copied from professional players, and you can find crosshair codes in our article, Best CS2 Pro Crosshairs (Codes) 2024.
Biome CS2
Biome CS2
Biome won Mapcore’s CS:GO map contest in 2017 and has had a loyal fan base ever since. After the map creation tools became available to the community in CS2, adapting this map for the new shooter version was only a matter of time.
It is played 5 on 5 as an official map, with all the nuances that come with that status. And the players are excited about the map.
Inferno Night and Nuke After Hours
Inferno Night
We couldn’t get past these maps, so we have combined them into one paragraph. It’s reworking the Nuke and Inferno maps into a night variant. Nevertheless, the charm and beauty of the night maps were very much to our and the players’ liking. They are not the most creative maps in this selection, but they are excellent.
Nuke After Hours
surf_summer
surf_summer
It was impossible to avoid surfing maps. As players have noticed, this map is very pretty compared to other, more abstract maps. This is a great map to play when you already have the necessary surfing skills. Aside from the exciting turns and ramps, this map will please your eye.
There are many excellent and famous surf maps, but we chose this one. You can learn about the remaining maps in Best CS2 Surf Maps and Servers 2024.
Fast Warmup – Bot Training
Fast Warmup – Bot Training
This map is new and has no analogs yet. It has many cool modes. For example, bots pick up from different angles, and the player only needs to kill them, spending as little time as possible.
For the convenience of training, the developers have left the ability for players to take any knife or weapon on the map. Pay special attention to the original training modeâAWP flicks.
Everyone’s favorite KZ is also on the map. Movement training is essential to your gameplay: if you move incorrectly, you may not even live to shoot the enemy.
