Guide to Best CS:GO Crosshair Commands and Settings

Adjust your crosshair with the right commands and settings

You can easily adjust your crosshair to fit your style. By changing the settings in-game or using commands, you can adjust the size, thickness, visibility, gap, outline and more.

This article covers all you need to know about how to change the crosshair settings and what commands you should know about. To make everything easier, each command is shown with a comparison of the highest and the lowest value.

DEFAULT VS CUSTOM CROSSHAIR SETTINGS

While the default crosshair in CS:GO offers a standard style for most players, many find it to be too large, taking up too much space on the screen. Customising your own crosshair can create a unique style that suits your individual needs and provide greater visual comfort, potentially leading to improved performance.

HOW TO CHANGE CROSSHAIR SETTINGS

We recommend that you insert your customised crosshair commands into your autoexec config, so that your preferred settings are automatically loaded each time you launch the game.

Otherwise, you can adjust your crosshair from the in-game settings. From here, it’s easy to play around with various settings to see what kind of crosshair you like the most. To find the crosshair settings go to
Game Settings -> Crosshair
