Crosshair Styles
Pick the shape or colour you want. Each page lists the pros who use it and gives you a preset to start from.
Dot 10 pro codes A dot crosshair strips the four lines away and leaves a single point. It gives the cleanest view of the target and forces you to trust your spray control, which is why rifle-heavy players like NiKo run it. It is harder to track recoil with, so it suits players who already know the spray patterns. Small 244 pro codes Small crosshairs dominate the pro scene. A length of 1 with a gap of -4 puts the four bars almost touching the centre, so the crosshair covers only a couple of pixels of the enemy model at range. This is the setup donk, s1mple and most tier-one riflers use. Green 170 pro codes Green is the CS2 default and still the most popular colour among pros. The preset green (cl_crosshaircolor 1) is RGB 50, 250, 50, which stays readable on every map. Some players switch to a custom mint (0, 255, 135) that keeps the green contrast but pops a little more on Inferno and Ancient. Cyan 110 pro codes Cyan (cl_crosshaircolor 4) is the second most common pro colour. Almost nothing in a CS2 map is cyan, so the crosshair never blends into the background. AWPers in particular favour it because it stays sharp against sky and water on maps like Nuke and Ancient. Yellow 28 pro codes Yellow is the highest-contrast preset in CS2 and shows up on almost every surface. It is a good pick if you play on a smaller monitor or at a lower resolution where a thin crosshair can vanish. FalleN has used yellow for most of his career. White 27 pro codes A white crosshair is neutral and never fights with map colours, which is why some AWPers prefer it. It needs an outline, otherwise it disappears on bright surfaces. device has used a near-white custom colour for years. No Outline 302 pro codes Turning the outline off makes the crosshair look thinner and cleaner. Without the black border the bars blend more with the scene, so this works best with a bright colour and a small size. Many top riflers, including NiKo and ropz, run no outline. Static 338 pro codes A static crosshair never expands when you move or shoot. Almost every professional player uses cl_crosshairstyle 4 because a fixed reference point makes it easier to learn spray patterns and hold angles. If you are switching from a dynamic crosshair, expect a few days of adjustment. T-Style 0 pro codes The T crosshair drops the top bar so nothing sits above your aim point. It gives a clearer view of the head while still keeping horizontal reference lines for recoil. It is uncommon among pros but popular with players who find the top line distracting.
