cg_predictItems

Predicts item pickups locally for instant sound/visual feedback instead of waiting for server confirmation. On reduces perceived latency when grabbing items; Off ensures 100% server accuracy but feels slightly delayed. Most pros turn OFF to avoid double-pickup sound confusion.

💡

Pro Tip

Keeping it OFF with high fiber connection ensures you actually pick up the item before hearing the sound for confirmation, which today a lot of high fiber connections can support.
