Make sure to set your crosshair to classic in the game settings before you do any of crosshair commands.
For weapon positioning, have the View model position in the game settings set to 'desktop' and do not change it again.
The examples I use throughout the guide may or may not be 100 percent accurate, depending on what other values you have changed in various sections on the guide.
Make sure the Developer's Console is enabled in the game settings menu. Otherwise, you won't be able to do anything listed in this guide.
COLOR:
1. First, type this command into the console: cl_crosshaircolor 5After that, use these three console commands to set the crosshair color exactly the way you want. cl_crosshaircolor_b cl_crosshaircolor_g cl_crosshaircolor_rThe letters on the end represent what color they change, r being red, b being blue, and g being green. To Reduce a color, set the value for that specific color at something like 10. For example, if I wanted to reduce the amount of Red in my crosshair to something extremely low, I would type cl_crosshaircolor_r 10 in the console. If I wanted it at something high but not too high, I would type cl_crosshaircolor_r 240 in the console.
2. Use these commands to set the crosshair to one of the preset colors, the color of the command represents what color it is. After Crosshair Color number 4 the list repeats itself from lime green.
3. Goto Options > Game Settings > Crosshair Color and change it to whichever color you want. The options you have here are Green, Yellow, Blue, and Light blue.
CROSSHAIR SIZE:
This determines how long each of the pieces of your crosshair is. The console command to change this is: cl_crosshairsizeThe default value is 5, which is pretty good, however some like it all the way up to around 10 or even 15. To change this, simply put the value you want it at at the end of the console command, the higher the value, the bigger the crosshair. For example, I have mine set at 6, so I would type cl_crosshairsize 6 in the console.
CROSSHAIR OUTLINE AND GAP:
This command will allow you to set how far apart the crosshairs are from the middle of the screen.
cl_crosshairgap The default value is 0. The higher the value you set will make the crosshairs move further away and the lower you set it will make them move closer together. You can use both negative and positive values for this command.
Crosshair Outline So you probably have your crosshair set up to your liking at this point. Now the problem is that in a few places on the map it isn't very visible or you can't see it at all.
With the crosshair outline command, you can say goodbye to invisibility and welcome visibility (so-to-speak). The command is:
CROSSHAIRS:
Moving over from CSS or 1.6 to play CSGO? Don't like how little of options you have on changing how your crosshair looks or how the weapons are positioned on your screen? Well, you came to the right place to fix all of that. This guide contains a ton of commands to customize your crosshair, weapon view model, and weapon movement. All with detailed information and examples. You'll have CSGO set up exactly how you want it within minutes!
CUSTOMIZATION:
This part of the guide is the biggest as far as I'm concerned, as it has many different ways to make your crosshair look as badass, simple, or crazy as you want it.
The next 8 sections after this one are sub sections to Crosshair Customization. Crosshair Style There are seven different crosshair styles you can use in CSGO. Some of them you might have already used before, and others you may not have even heard of.
CROSSHAIR VARIATION:
cl_crosshairstyle 0This right here is your default CSGO crosshair. It's big, bulky, and moves all over the place when you move or shoot or jump. This crosshair is NOT customizable except color wise and I do not recommend you use it unless you are new to the game.
cl_crosshairstyle 1This is essentially the default crosshair for CSGO in 'static' mode, meaning it will not move at all unless you change it to the dynamic version posted above. If you have played a lot with the dynamic version of this crosshair, it would probably be best to switch to this when you've learned the weapon mechanics/recoil/movement/etc...
cl_crosshairstyle 2This one is a bit odd. You have your normal crosshairs that do not move or expand and in addition to that you have 4 little dots on the side of your crosshair that move out when you shoot, jump, or move. Recommended for players who want a classic crosshair, but also like the default dynamic one.
cl_crosshairstyle 3This is the classic crosshair that alot of players are used to. It has every dynamic feature attached to it, meaning it will move accordingly to your movement, jumping, crouching, and shooting your weapon. Being a CSS player quite a bit before CSGO released, this was my favorite crosshair style for the longest time. I Recommend this crosshair to all beginners who have played a bit of CS in the past, but not enough to know the ins and outs.
cl_crosshairstyle 4This crosshair is exactly the same as the one above, except it doesn't have any dynamic properties. It will stay the same shape/size at all times. Recommended for use by experienced players.
cl_crosshairstyle 5Again, this looks the same as the style 3 and 4. However, the dynamic proerties are somewhat in between the two. This crosshair won't account for your movement, including when you jump or crouch, but it will account for the recoil/spread of your weapons. It's suppose to mimic the original CS1.6 crosshair, so I would recommend it for 1.6 veterans.
cl_crosshairstyle 6Same story as 3, 4, and 5. Except the only dynamic properties are when you switch between weapons, and very little feedback when you shoot weapons. Recommended for Experienced players and 1.6 veterans alike.
