KESTRELStart a Deathmatch session
Choose the mode
Live Deathmatch uses online matchmaking. Practice with bots is for checking settings and does not earn official weekly rewards.
Choose the accounts and graphics
Select and save your queue. Low graphics is the starting point for lower resource use; Medium and Keep game graphics are also available. Apply settings with CS2 closed where requested.
Press Start
Kestrel checks the selected account, handles Steam sign-in and starts the game workflow. Keep Steam and the game available while it runs. Avoid interacting with login dialogs during account switching.
Understand the status
The Farm screen reports the current stage and any action needed. Matchmaking can take time. A delayed match or predicted level-up is not confirmation of a reward.
Stop safely
Use Stop in Kestrel. Let active input release before using the game yourself. Account restrictions, missing credentials and service errors may require attention.
