How To Copy Someone’s Crosshair In CS2/CSGO

If you ever thought ‘I’d love to have this type of crosshair’, well, you’re in luck. This blog post will guide you through how to copy someone’s crosshair in CS:GO and make it yours. 

Stay tuned and learn how to wake up your beast and get the crosshair settings that bring insane kills.

Let’s start by clearly defining the crosshair in CS:GO. Imagine what would happen if the movements and coordination of your mouse do not correspond with the aim position on the screen. We assume you agree that you’ll miss the target, right? 

A good crosshair can make a huge difference and boost your dexterity, affecting your overall performance. Have you ever admired a pro player or a streamer for how elegant and precise their crosshair is? You are one step closer to discovering how you can have the same.

Tuning to Perfection

Properly adjusting the crosshair can give you an “Eagle Eye” and a sharp intuition. Look at the following options and think about how you can get the ideal aim:

• Define the Type of Crosshair: You can choose between static and dynamic crosshairs. Static means that the crosshair remains fixed, regardless of your movements or shooting. The dynamic option gives you a crosshair that expands and contracts to indicate weapon accuracy.
• Pick up a Configuration: In CS:GO, you have a traditional type of crosshair consisting of four lines and a straightforward one with simple dots.
• Choose the Right Proportions: Adjust the crosshair’s size and thickness to improve visibility and precision. A giant crosshair is easier to spot on the screen but may be less precise than a smaller one.
• Select a Proper Color: Different backgrounds can cause visibility problems with crosshairs. Knowing this, CS:GO allows you to change the color of your aim to avoid such obstacles.
• Define the Space and the Outside Lines: You can adjust the gap between the crosshair lines to aim targets more precisely. Paint the frame from the outside to make the crosshair more visible against backgrounds with the same or similar color as the crosshair.
• Strive to Get More Precision: Add a central dot for even more precise aiming. Many players, especially AWP lovers, prefer this option.

Consider these things while adjusting the crosshair. Be careful and remember the primary things, like the fact that a dynamic crosshair decreases accuracy when moving or firing because it expands during the action.

One of the easiest ways to copy someone’s crosshair is by using crosshair generator websites. These sites allow you to customize and take over crosshairs without diving deep into the game’s console commands. Some popular websites include:

• csgocrosshairs.com
• prosettings.net

Visit the website, find your favorite player, and copy the code. Next, open CS:GO, go to the console by pressing “~” (tilde key), and paste the copied code. Press Enter, and voila! Your crosshair is now the same as your favorite player’s.

If you’re more practical and prefer manually entering the settings, you can do that, too. Follow these steps to go through the complete process of how to copy crosshair CS:GO by hand:

Open the CS:GO Console

Enable the developer console in your game settings. Go to settings, game, enable developer console, and then type “Yes.” Then, press the “~” (tilde key) to open the console.

Enter the Commands to Copy the Crosshair

You must enter a series of commands that change the crosshair settings. Here are the basic commands you might use:

• cl_crosshairsize “2”
• cl_crosshairgap “-1”
• cl_crosshairthickness “1”
• cl_crosshaircolor “5”
• cl_crosshair_drawoutline “1”
• cl_crosshairalpha “255”

You can customize these commands further to get the exact look you want. For example, you can change “cl_crosshaircolor” to different values to get other colors.

We can collectively agree that this is one of the best features of CS:GO. If you’re watching a demo or a match and see a crosshair you like, you can copy it directly from the game. Basically, the process goes like this:

• Launch the demo or match: This is simple: load the demo or match where you saw the crosshair.
• Observe the player: Find the player whose crosshair you want to copy and start spectating him.
• Type the console command: While spectating, open the console and type “cl_crosshairusealpha 1.” Your crosshair settings will adapt to those of the current player.

Before you decide to copy the player’s crosshair, make sure that you observe his game as well as how he behaves. Try to detect if he matches your gaming character because copying someone else’s settings may not always match your abilities and reflexes.

Now that you know how to copy crosshair CS:GO, and what things you should look for when copying, it’s time to launch the game and enjoy shooting more accurately. Also, the Steam Workshop has some fantastic maps explicitly designed for customizing and trying out crosshairs. One of the most popular maps you can try is “Crashz’ Crosshair Generator.”

The best way to find your type of crosshair is by trial and error. Test many variations from different players to see which one works best for you. Don’t forget to fine-tune your crosshair if the code you’ve copied isn’t perfect. Try different crosshairs, and find the one that helps you land those headshots more consistently. Happy gaming, and see you on the server!
