How To Get The Dot Crosshair in CS2

A dot crosshair refers to the minimalistic crosshairs that simply feature a dot, replacing the traditional “cross” style crosshairs. While mileage may vary, generally speaking the dot crosshairs are better for players who wish to be more accurate during their games. This is due to the single point of reference that lets players focus solely on the center of their screen, which can enhance overall precision when it comes to targeting other players. This crosshair is likely not the best for players who prefer to spray during duels, but is perfect for those who primarily tap and burst.

Making a dot crosshair in CS2 is easy, but we’ve made it even easier by providing you with the exact settings you need to make one. Simply follow the steps below to create your very own white dot crosshair in CS2:

• Launch CS2 and navigate to the “settings” menu

• Select the “crosshair” sub-tab
• Enter the following settings to create a white dot crosshair
  • Crosshair Style: Classic Static
  • Follow Recoil: No
  • Center Dot: Yes
  • Length: 0.4

  • Gap: -4.0
  • Outline: 1.1 (Make sure to enable this with the checkbox next to the slider)

If you don’t want to create your own dot crosshair with the settings menu, you can simply import our crosshair code for a white dot crosshair as your own CS2 crosshair. Follow these steps to do so:

Dot crosshairs have been around for a long time, and were often used back in CSGO, as well as being frequently used in CS2. While crosshairs are largely just down to personal preference, several pro players opt to use dot crosshairs in order to reach their peak performance. 

One of the biggest examples of a pro player that has used a dot crosshair during professional matches is s1mple. While he’s recently taken a step back from professional play in CS2, s1mple is easily one of the best CS pro players in the entire world and has even created his very own course to teach players how to play CS2. He famously used the dot crosshair during Blast Premier 2022, and absolutely dominated the competition with it.

Crosshair color is largely down to preference, similar to the crosshair style itself. However, the most common crosshair color is green and is used by many pro players, including the world famous awper Zywoo. Green generally stands out the most in CS2’s environments, across most maps. You may find that on maps like Ancient however where the map features a lot of green, it may be a little less than ideal.

At the end of the day, you can really use any color you want. We’ve opted for a neutral and clean white color for our provided crosshair, but changing the color is easily done by adjusting the R/G/B sliders. You’ll have to experiment with colors yourself, and find your own preference.

If you’re interested in checking out other variations of crosshairs, there’s a useful website for exactly that called “cs crosshairs”. The website allows you to browse, and copy tons of user generated crosshairs for CS, as well as crosshairs used by specific pro players and teams. They even have a live crosshair generator tool which can be used to generate your own crosshair without having to do it in-game. Once you’ve made a crosshair you’re happy with, you can simply export the code and import it the next time you launch CS2.

There’s also a popular workshop map called crashz’ Crosshair Generator V4 that can be downloaded from the Steam Workshop, and launched from within CS2. In the workshop map you can customize your crosshair, and test it out as you go. You can also test out other pro players’ crosshairs by simply selecting one from the table of available CS pro crosshairs available in the workshop map. It’s a very useful workshop map that any aspiring CS2 player should check out for themselves.

That’s been our guide on how to get the dot crosshair in CS2. You’re now all set to hit some insane one taps like the headshot machine ScreaM himself, with your brand new dot crosshair. Make sure to stay tuned for more CS2 guides and content like this.
