r_lightmap
Developer mode rendering lightmaps only (black/white shadows, no textures). Off for normal play; on visualizes lighting for map analysis.
💡
Pro Tip
Only use in local practice — the black/white view instantly shows you every shadow pocket where enemies hide so you can pre-aim them in real games.
