Glad to see you. Playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive comfortably is an important part of the game. One of the factors is that what we see most throughout the game in the center is our sight. Many professional gamers customize it for themselves and do it for a reason. All modifications will go through the console, as this is a more flexible method today. If for some reason you don’t know how to turn on the console in the game, I recommend reading this. If you don’t want to read a lot, I advise you to watch the video clip, which is located at the very bottom.
All sight settings begin with the command: cl_crosshair, you will notice this more than once.
The game has a team that is responsible for style sight: cl_crosshairstyle X, where X is the desired style. The command value is from 0 to 4.
Now let's choose the color of the crosshair that we will play with throughout the game. To change the color, we obey the command: cl_crosshaircolor it has five digits:
- 1 - green
- 2 - yellow
- 3 - blue
- 4 - blue
- 5 - your color
Sight with a dot in the middle
Many people don’t like that there is empty space in the middle of the sight. You can fill it with a dot, to do this we insert it into the console: cl_crosshairdot 0 - turns off the point, 1 - turns it on.
Sight outline
If you can’t clearly see the outline of the sight mark, you can outline it: cl_crosshair_drawoutline- 0 without stroke, 1 - with stroke. In addition to the main command, there is also a companion one: cl_crosshair_outlinethickness From 0 to 3, it sets the thickness.
Transparency
Do you want to make an invisible sight? Master gentleman use the command: cl_crosshairalpha 0 , if you are not a wild pervert, you should set the value to 255 - this is the maximum number at which the sight will be clearly visible on any texture.Crosshair size in cs:go
The size of the sight has no limits, so you can enlarge it to fill the entire screen or make it a more convenient size for shooting. To do this you will need the command: cl_crosshairsize from 0 to infinity. You should not specify a large value, unless you are practicing throwing grenades, where you need to understand the flight path and where to start throwing.
Distance between lines
When you first start the game, the distance between the lines is too large and it is not convenient to aim at the enemy. To avoid this problem use the command: cl_crosshairgap. For example, I set myself a number: -4 .
Line thickness
Thick is good, especially if it is a scope, because it is easier to see. Okay, jokes over 300 aside. Team: cl_crosshairthickness You can set any numbers, but only positive ones, an example is shown in the image below.
Display
If it happens that you have logged into the game or installed a cfg and your crosshair is not displayed, write the following in the console: crosshair 0 - the sight is not displayed, 1 - becomes visible.Map for sight settings
If you don’t want to register each variable manually, there is a map in the workshop on Steam called: Crashz'Crosshair on the map there is everything that we described above. To download, you need:- Open steam, community > workshop;
- In the search, enter the name of the game and then the name of the map;
- Let's go to CS:GO;
- Click play with bots and go to the workshop tab and launch our added map;
Sight point
Many people believe that it is easier to kill an enemy in the head when the sight is a certain point. Perhaps these people are right. If you also want to do this, then you need to set the following variables: cl_crosshair_drawoutline "1";cl_crosshairgap "100000000";cl_crosshairsize "3";cl_crosshairthickness "1.65";cl_crosshairalpha "255"; cl_crosshairdot "1"; cl_crosshairstyle "5";cl_crosshaircolor "5" To assimilate the information, I advise you to watch the video, which is located just above. That's all, we have completed setting up the sight for cs go. If you have any questions, feel free to write in the comments, we will help everyone. Don't forget to bookmark the site. Share the link with your friends and write what parameters you have chosen for yourself.Fine individual adjustment of the sight in the game. We change the appearance, style and color of the sight, adjust the width and length of the marks using console commands.
Changing the sight in cs:go. A short guide to adjusting and tuning your sight using the console
Changing the sight type
cl_crosshairsize 0-99 - change the length of the crosshair divisions. Can take values from 0 to infinity. If set to 0, the tick marks disappear.
cl_crosshairthickness 0.5-99 - change the width of the sight divisions. Can also take a value to infinity. Values like 1.5, 2.5, and so on are allowed. The default value of the crosshair division width is:
cl_crosshairthickness 0.5
cl_crosshairgap 0 - adjusts the clearance between the sight divisions. The default value is zero, but can take both positive and negative values, for example -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3. Most professional players use the value -1:
cl_crosshairgap -1
cl_crosshairdot 1 - adds a dot to the center of the crosshair
cl_crosshairdot 0 - removes the dot from the center of the crosshair
cl_crosshair_drawoutline 1 - a black outline appears around the crosshair
cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0 - removes the black outline around the crosshair
cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 1-3 - adjusts the thickness of the black outline around the crosshair, takes values from one to three
cl_crosshairusealpha 1 - turns on crosshair transparency
cl_crosshairusealpha 0 - turns off crosshair transparency
When crosshair transparency is turned on (cl_crosshairusealpha 1), to regulate this transparency, use the command:
cl_crosshairalpha 0-255 - with a value of 255 the color of the crosshair is maximally saturated, and with a value of 0 the sight disappears completely
For those who want to make everything easier, we have an online CS:GO sight generator.
We wish you a pleasant game, we hope this small guide will help you choose the most optimal settings for yourself.
Have you noticed how difficult it is sometimes to aim at an enemy when the scope is large and stray bullets fly in the wrong direction? Therefore, the developers provided a personal selection of sights. You can choose the color scheme, thickness, size and scalability yourself. In the CS GO settings, the sight is given only 2 parameters: the color and shape of the sight. However, adjusting the sight does not end with these 2 parameters. In this material we will look at how to individually customize the sight to your taste using the commands in the console.
If you do not want to delve into this material in its entirety, then we have indicated summary, using it you can find the necessary setting.
A significant part of the material talks about setting up the sight using console commands, so we note that by default you need to press the tilde button to open the console: ~ (located under the Esc key).
How to customize crosshair style and color in CS:GO
First, we'll tell you how to customize the style and color of the sight. The first and generally accepted way is to select the required option in the settings:
Click on the gear icon (Settings) → Game settings → Interface
Here in the fields Sight style And Sight color We select the following values we need.
The second way is console commands. The option is responsible for setting the crosshair style in CS: GO cl_crosshairstyle
- cl_crosshairstyle 0 − standard (dynamic)
- cl_crosshairstyle 1 − standard (static)
- cl_crosshairstyle 2 – classic
- cl_crosshairstyle 3 − classic (dynamic)
- cl_crosshairstyle 4 − classic (static)
To customize the crosshair color in CS: GO, use the option cl_crosshaircolor
- cl_crosshaircolor 0 − red
- cl_crosshaircolor 1 − green
- cl_crosshaircolor 2 – yellow
- cl_crosshaircolor 3 − blue
- cl_crosshaircolor 4 − blue
- cl_crosshaircolor 5 − arbitrary color
Similar to how to repaint the sight black, white or any arbitrary color using the commands: cl_crosshaircolor_b , cl_crosshaircolor_g, cl_crosshaircolor_r, they can be found separately.
Sight with a dot in CS GO
To insert a dot in the middle of the sight, you should use the option cl_crosshairdot :
- cl_crosshairdot 0 – no dot
- cl_crosshairdot 1 − with a dot
Here are 2 screenshots for clarity, the CS: GO sight with and without a dot.
Contouring (Stroke) the sight in CS:GO
To activate or remove crosshair stroke in CS: GO, use the option in the console: cl_crosshair_drawoutline
- cl_crosshair_drawoutline 1 – stroke is enabled
- cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0 – stroke disabled
The presented screenshots show what the crosshair outline is in CS: GO. On the right is a sight with a line, on the left - without it.
In order to set the thickness of the outline (stroke) of the sight, there is an option cl_crosshair_outlinethickness : it can take values from zero to 3 (the higher the value, the thicker the stroke):
- cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 0
- cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 2
Crosshair transparency level in CS:GO
To set the transparency of the sight, use the option cl_crosshairalpha. Parameters for this option can use values from zero to 255, most high values make the sight more transparent. Examples of using this option:
- cl_crosshairalpha 0 – full transparency of the sight (it is almost invisible)
- cl_crosshairalpha 125 – translucent sight (transparency level 50%)
- cl_crosshairalpha 255 – completely opaque sight
There is also an option cl_crosshairusealpha, with which you can turn on or off the transparency mode of the sight. When the transparency mode is disabled, set the transparency of the sight using the option cl_crosshairalpha impossible.
- cl_crosshairusealpha 1 – turns on transparency mode
- cl_crosshairusealpha 0 – disables transparency mode
In other words, before activating the option cl_crosshairalpha you should make sure that the value cl_crosshairusealpha is equal to one (it is the same by default).
Crosshair size in CS:GO
The required sight size can be set using the option cl_crosshairsize . Highest value parameter increases the size of the sight.
Examples of using this option:
- cl_crosshairsize 10
- cl_crosshairsize 5
- cl_crosshairsize 0
The screenshots below show a sight with sizes: 10, 5 and 0.
Sight line distance
Teams cl_crosshairgap And cl_fixedcrosshairgap allow you to expand or reduce the distance between the sight lines. In fact, this console option changes the size of the CS:GO crosshair to a certain extent. In the form of parameters, it can take positive and negative values:
- cl_crosshairgap 5 and cl_fixedcrosshairgap 5
- cl_crosshairgap 0 and cl_fixedcrosshairgap 0
- cl_crosshairgap -5 and cl_fixedcrosshairgap -5
Here are screenshots with the above examples:
Sight outline thickness
You can set the thickness of the sight outline (lines) using the console option cl_crosshairthickness: larger option value means thicker sight outline. Examples of options:
- cl_crosshairthickness 3
- cl_crosshairthickness 0
Screenshots of these examples:
Show or hide crosshair
Simple option crosshair displays or hides the crosshair. If the crosshair has disappeared in CS: GO, check the value of this option.
- crosshair 1 – enable crosshair display
- crosshair 0 – turn off crosshair display

Other console options (commands)
In conclusion, we will indicate all the other commands that you will not take into account for the reason that they are used quite infrequently.
Options that remove the top of the sight:
- cl_crosshair_t 1 − delete
- cl_crosshair_t 0 − return back
An example of such a sight: 
List of other options that change the behavior of the crosshair in CS: GO:
- cl_crosshairgap_useweaponvalue− Determines the transformation of the crosshair when switching between different weapons
- cl_crosshair_dynamic_maxdist_splitratio− How widely will the sight risks diverge when running, jumping and sitting
- cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitalpha_innermod− Transparency of the internal crosshair when running and jumping
- cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitalpha_outermod− Transparency of the external crosshair when running and jumping
We believe that this material has helped you and the recommendations outlined here for using console commands (options) will make customizing the CS: GO sight to suit your unique playing style simple and straightforward.
The advantage of console commands is that you can immediately test each type of sight in battle in order to understand whether it suits you or not. When setting up a sight in CS:GO, you cannot do without console commands. By default, in the settings you can only select the color and style of the sight. But through the console or the game config you can change the sight as you like. This is what we dedicate this article to.
It is worth noting that the sight is an individual setting. You can use the sights of experienced players, but it is better to go through and test many options for setting up the sight in CS:GO to understand which one is right for you. I personally tested all the sights for players and none of them suited me 100%. But nevertheless, at the end of the article we will provide the settings of the sights of experienced players (Butcher, Hatton, GeT_RiGhT, f0rest, friberg, Xizt, Fifflaren, cheatbanned, stewie2k sight, etc.). Maybe their scope is right for you.
Crosshair adjustment in CS:GO: best VIDEO
Crosshair style and color in CS:GO
The standard sight settings are primitive and quite limited, representing only basic sight configurations. The sight settings menu can be found in Help->Settings ->Game Options ->Sight. Here you can set the style (classic or default), appearance (dynamic or static), and the color of the sight.
ESC->Help-Settings->Game Options->Aim
If these settings are not enough for you, then open the developer console by clicking on the tilde, and using console commands set the desired type of sight.
The crosshair style in CS:GO is set by the command cl_crosshairstyle (0, 1, 2, 3, 4):
- 0 – cs:go dynamic, stylized crosshair, which is enabled by default. For some, this is what is most convenient.
- 1 – cs:go static – the same thing, only motionless when shooting.
- cl_crosshairstyle 2 – cs 1.6.
- cl_crosshairstyle 3 – cs 1.6 dynamic.
- cl_crosshairstyle 4 – cs 1.6 static.
What does a sight look like with and without a dot:
Crosshair outline in CS:GO
Team cl_crosshair_drawoutline is responsible for the outline of the sight. With parameters 0, 1 - you can either turn the stroke on or off.
- cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0 - there is a stroke
- cl_crosshair_drawoutline 1 - no outline
If stroke (contour) is enabled, another command becomes available - cl_ crosshair_outlinethickness.
An example of the sight outline in the photo:
|
|
No stroke |
Let's move on to the thickness of the sight contour (stroke), it is set by the command - cl_crosshair_outlinethickness and parameters from 0 to 3, where 0 is the thinnest crosshair outline, and 3 is the thickest.
- cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 0 - thin outline, we do not recommend using it, blends in with textures
- cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 1 - the same, rarely used, not visible on many maps
- cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 2 - suitable for most
- cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 3 - similar
You can also use half values, for example 0.5, 1.5.
- cl_crosshairthickness 0.5
- cl_crosshairthickness 1.5
- cl_crosshairthickness 2.5
Crosshair size in CS:GO
Another important parameter is the size of the scope. To change the size (reduce) the sight, use the command cl_crosshairsize. Valid values are from 0 to 100, where 0 is a small cs go sight, 10 is a large sight, etc.
In short, to get a small crosshair, just set the command - cl_crosshairsize 1. An example is in the photo below:
|
cl_crosshairsize 1 |
cl_crosshairsize 3 |
Distance between sight lines
The cl_crosshairgap command is responsible for the distance between the crosshair lines. Moreover, this is a command where the values can be negative. If you need to narrow the scope as much as possible, use a value of -5. Popular commands:
- cl_crosshairgap -5
- cl_crosshairgap 0
- cl_crosshairgap 5
Examples of team work:
|
cl_crosshairgap 5 |
cl_crosshairgap 0 |
cl_crosshairgap -5 |
Sight transparency in CS GO
A little about transparency. To set the transparency of the sight, use the command cl_crosshairalpha. Available values are from 0 to 255, most often 3 variations are used (0, 127, 255). The lower the value, the more transparent the sight. There are 3 main commands that are used to adjust transparency:
- cl_crosshairalpha 0 – transparent sight; however, its meaning will not be visible at all.
- cl_crosshairalpha 127 – set the transparency to 50%.
- cl_crosshairalpha 255 – this parameter is often used by pro players; the crosshair is not transparent and is clearly visible on any maps.
|
cl_crosshairalpha 255 |
cl_crosshairalpha 127 |
If you prefer an opaque sight, all you need to do is use the command cl_crosshairusealpha and turn off transparency, with the command cl_crosshairalpha - will not be taken into account:
- cl_crosshairusealpha 0 - disable transparency
- cl_crosshairusealpha 1 - enable transparency
How to hide or show the crosshair in CS:GO
Logged into the game and don’t see the crosshair? A fairly common problem is when the scope disappears for no reason. To enable display, write the command crosshair 1, the sight should appear. If you register crosshair 0 – the sight will disappear.
How to set up a crosshair in cs go (css) using console commands?
If you are still using a standard scope, now is the time to change it. The basic dynamic sight in CS:GO changes its size depending on the speed of movement, position and intensity of fire. This visual approach makes it clear to beginners that running or firing in bursts greatly affects accuracy.
Moreover, if assessed purely from a visual point of view, standard sight far from ideal: it's too animated and takes up too much screen space. Its sweeping expansions and contractions are more likely to distract than to give an approximate idea of where the fired bullets generally fly.
In addition, the extended scope may lead to the mistaken conclusion that shots can hit anywhere within the crosshair radius, although this is not entirely true.
The basic configurable parameters of the sight are color and style. They are available in standard game settings; you do not need to log into the console to change them.
The crosshair color and style settings are located in the same menu as the option to turn on the console: Game Settings -> Game Options -> Interface Settings.
Console commands for setting up the sight in CS GO
How to change crosshair style in cs go?
Scope configuration options are not limited to style and color. The crosshair has a number of options that can be configured using the basic cl_crosshair + following attribute command. More specifically, it looks something like this:
cl_crosshairstyle – this command allows you to set the crosshair style in the console.
There are a total of 5 types of crosshair styles to choose from:
cl_crosshairstyle 0 – standard crosshair (dynamic)
cl_crosshairstyle 1 – standard sight (static)
cl_crosshairstyle 2 – classic style
cl_crosshairstyle 3 – classic style (dynamic)
cl_crosshairstyle 4 – classic style (static)
Professional players do not recommend using standard styles and sights that expand when shooting or running (in particular, styles 0, 1 and 2), as they take up too much space on the screen, which negatively affects accuracy.
Pro gamers such as s1mple and ScreaM consider cl_crosshairstyle 3 the best option for single shots and cl_crosshairstyle 4 for burst shooting.
How to change the crosshair color in cs go?
To give the crosshair the desired color, enter the command cl_crosshaircolor X into the console, where X is the color parameter.
A total of 6 color options for the sight are available. The most popular are green, yellow, blue and red.
| X = 0 – red | |
| X = 1 – green | |
| X = 2 – yellow | |
| X = 3 – blue | |
| X = 4 – blue | |
| X = 5 – custom | (black, white, pink and so on). |
In principle, the player is free to choose the color of the sight as he pleases. The vast majority of professional players believe that the shade of the crosshair does not play any role. But at the same time, it is worth considering the color palette of the cards: for example, on de_dust2 and de_mirage it is worth abandoning yellow color a sight that will simply blend into the background.
To select a custom color, you first need to enter the console command cl_crosshaircolor 5, and then set the shade you need by entering the values of the red (r), green (g) and blue (b) colors. The commands for this look like this:
cl_crosshaircolor_r
cl_crosshaircolor_b
cl_crosshaircolor_g
This way you can select any of the existing color shades by setting the digital value of red, green and blue in the range from 0 to 255. For example:
Adjusting the sight contour in css and cs go
To turn on the outline around the crosshair lines, enter the command cl_crosshair_drawoutline 1 into the console. Accordingly, to remove the outline, you need to change the value of 1 in this command to 0.
To add a small dot in the center to your crosshair, use the console command cl_crosshairdot 1. The command cl_crosshairdot 0 removes the dot.
Example of a crosshair with center dot enabled:
Transparency is adjusted using the cl_crosshairalpha X command. However, this parameter is recommended either to be used together with the outline (cl_crosshair_drawoutline 1), or not to be touched at all. The translucent sight will make aiming much more difficult, but the outline compensates for the lack of contrast between the crosshair and the surroundings.
Example of a transparent sight:
This parameter can be changed with the command cl_crosshairsize X. This is one of the most important crosshair parameters for gameplay, so pay special attention to it.
If you go too far with the X parameter, the giant sight will block half of the screen, making it difficult not only to aim, but also to navigate in space in general. But there is no need to make the crosshair too small; it should be clearly visible in any situation.
Here are examples of successful and unsuccessful choice of scope size:
Adjusting the sight gap
The gap between the lines is another important parameter, which is adjusted using the cl_crosshairgap X console command. The fact is that the gap should be large enough for comfortable shooting in bursts at medium distances and single shots at long and medium distances. But at the same time, too large a gap will make shooting at a long distance almost impossible, while a minimum gap will not allow you to accurately shoot at heads at a medium distance.
As you can see, neither too much nor too little sight clearance is suitable for effective shooting:
How to change the thickness of the sight in cs go?
The thickness is adjusted using the cl_crosshairthickness X console command. The larger the X value, the thicker the crosshair lines.
Sight thickness:
T-sight
In 2017, CS:GO acquired a new option - a T-shaped sight, which could be installed by entering the command cl_crosshair_t 1 into the console (or cl_crosshair_t 0 to return to the normal crosshair). Judging by the reviews from pro gamers and YouTubers, this sight makes headshots more convenient.
The best sights for headshots in CS GO
If you want to adjust your scope so that you hit heads more often than usual, then first, use . Play with the sliders and characteristics until you get an option that suits you completely. Secondly, you can simply adopt the crosshairs that professional players use.
They can also be found in the crosshair generator - just copy the code associated with a particular crosshair and paste it into your config.cfg file.
