CS:GO crosshair commands

Style 0, 2 and 3 mean a dynamic crosshair that moves when you walk or shoot. Style 1 and 4 are fully static, i.e. they do not change when you make a move. Style 5, on the other hand, has been copied from the previous version (Counter Strike 1.6) and can be considered classic dynamic or semi-static.

This command was not always available in CS: GO – it was added a few years ago. Not everyone liked it (there are no pro players who use it). It has such a name, because when it is turned on, your crosshair looks like the letter “T”.

The gap is the biggest when you hold the pistol in your hand, and the smallest when it’s a rifle. In the case of a knife it has an average size.

In addition to the basic settings, you can use any color you like, thanks to the “5” value. To set custom colors, go to the website with the RGB color calculator.

An example of a black crosshair – cl_crosshaircolor “5”; cl_crosshaircolor_r “0”; cl_crosshaircolor_g “0”; cl_crosshaircolor_b “0”; cl_crosshairusealpha “1” .

When setting the CSGO crosshair size, there is no limit to the value. When you use “0”, crosshair will become invisible. Some players prefer to play with small crosshairs (better aiming) and others on a large (better recoil control).

As with size, there is no limit for this command. However, you must stick to the minimum value of “0.5”.

You can choose the gap you want, as this command has no limit. Negative values make the lines are closer to each other, and the positive ones move them away.

This console command applies to a very small group of people. It works in a similar way to cl_crosshairgap, but only when we choose cl_crosshairstyle “1” (almost nobody uses it).

Thanks to this, you can change the transparency – however we recommend prudent use. With some colors and crosshair settings, this command makes sense, but in most cases it may be unnecessary.

An example of a fully visible crosshair – cl_crosshairusealpha “1”; cl_crosshairalpha “255” .

As a rule, it is recommended to set the “255” value so that the crosshair is fully visible. Otherwise on some maps (eg. de_dust2), the crosshair can mix with the background.

There are several streamers who use dots in their crosshair. Interestingly, you can completely remove the crosshair lines and leave the dot itself in the middle of the screen. To do this, type – cl_crosshairsize “0”, cl_crosshairdot “1”.

By adjusting the contour, you can make the crosshair look more ‘heavy’ (in this way it will always stand out on your screen). It is worth knowing that for some people it may cause distraction.

When you enter the minimum value “0.5”, your crosshair will have shade. The other values change the stroke thickness and have no limit.

This setting seems unnecessary, but it can be useful for people who play for the first time. Thanks to this, it is impossible to kill your teammate.

This does not apply to the standard crosshair but to the sniper sight. Good to know, that there are several theories about which value is the best – but yes, these are just theories.
