🎯 Which Crosshair to Choose in CS2: A Beginner’s Guide

Just started playing CS2 and not sure which crosshair is right for you? In this guide, we’ll break down the different types of crosshairs, how to set them up, and which one to pick for confident gameplay—no stress, just results like the pros.

🔰 1. Types of Crosshairs in CS2

In CS2, you can customize your crosshair completely: color, size, shape, and even how it behaves when firing. Main types include:

• Static — doesn’t change when firing, ideal for spray control

• Dynamic — expands when firing, shows bullet spread

• Dot — minimalistic and great for pinpoint shots

Tip: Start with static—it's easier to master and improves your aim early on.

⚙️ 2. How to Customize Your Crosshair

To change your crosshair, go to Settings → Game → Crosshair or enter commands in the console.

Useful Commands:

• cl_crosshaircolor 5 — bright green

• cl_crosshairsize 3 — length of lines

• cl_crosshairthickness 1 — line thickness

• cl_crosshairdot 1 — adds center dot

Tip: Use the crashz’ Crosshair Generator map from the workshop to try out pro settings.

• NiKo: Classic cross—versatile and clean

Tip: Use them as a base, but always adapt to what feels best for you.

🔎 5. What Beginners Should Keep in Mind

• Too bright? Might blend with bright map backgrounds

• Too large? Can block enemy models

• Dynamic crosshairs? Might distract when firing

Bottom line: comfort beats trend—find what works for you!

🧪 6. How to Test Your Crosshair In-Game

Before jumping into ranked, test your crosshair on special workshop maps.

🔧 Recommended Maps:

• crashz' Crosshair Generator — for tweaking and saving presets

• aim_botz — for spray and flick training

• training_aim_csgo2 — for pure aim precision

Tip: Practice at least 10–15 minutes before taking your new crosshair into matches.

🎯 7. Best Crosshairs for AWP vs Rifles

Different weapons, different crosshairs. Here’s what works best:

• AWP / Scout: Thin line or dot — doesn’t block vision while scoping

• AK / M4 / FAMAS: Static medium cross — helps with spray control

Note: crosshair shapes affect your perception—go with what feels smooth.

🎨 8. Which Crosshair Color to Choose

Your crosshair should stand out and stay visible in every map.

🟢 Best Colors:

• Bright Green (5): universal and visible

• Cyan (4): great for dark maps

• Purple (3): stands out on desert maps

Avoid white: blends with map lighting.
