General Information About Crosshairs
Crosshairs are essential for precise aiming and can significantly impact gameplay. With so many customization options, finding the perfect crosshair to suit your playing style is crucial.
There are three main types of crosshairs in CS2:
- Dynamic crosshair adapts and responds to shooting movements and actions by widening or narrowing. This setting is recommended in one case: if you are a beginner or a player who only plans to devote up to a couple of hours a week to the game. In this case, you don't have to learn the spray patterns of weapons; this option will significantly help you.
- Static crosshair - it remains unchanged and does not change during the game.
- Hybrid crosshair - combines static and dynamic elements.
There are six styles of crosshairs available in the game (from Style 0 to Style 5). Style 4 is the most popular among professional players due to its balance between visibility and accuracy.
Bright green, pink, and yellow are the preferred crosshair colors for professional players. These colors improve visibility on different backgrounds. However, the compact blue crosshair has gained remarkable popularity due to its unique color and minimalistic design.
How to Change the Appearance of Crosshairs
The crosshair settings have their separate tab. To open it, click on the gear in the menu's upper left corner, select the "Game" tab, and then go to the "Crosshair" sub-tab.
You can customize the crosshair on this tab and through the console (but this is a rather old method).
But if you want to copy the settings of someone else's crosshair, the best way is to use a function like "Сrosshair Сode".
This box has a "Share/Import" button next to the crosshair preview. When you click the "Сopy Сode" button, a code will appear in the box that can be sent to another player. You can also paste someone else's code into the box and click "Import," after which the settings will be changed.
