S1mple’s crosshair settings in CS2. How to install crosshair from s1mple

Oleksander “s1mple” Kostyliev, the legendary AWPer from NAVI, transitioned to CS2 following the Premier Mode update that introduced global leaderboards. His crosshair configuration represents years of professional refinement, optimized for both precision aiming and visual clarity during high-pressure situations.

Professional players like s1mple prioritize crosshair designs that minimize visual distraction while maintaining clear target acquisition points. The negative gap setting (-3.0) creates a tighter aiming box that enhances pixel-perfect accuracy without obscuring your target. This guide provides comprehensive instructions for implementing his exact setup through multiple installation approaches.

The fastest approach involves importing s1mple’s crosshair code directly into CS2’s settings interface. This method ensures perfect replication of all his configuration parameters without manual adjustments.

Import crosshair code: Navigate to “Settings” → “Game” → “Aim” section, select “Share/Import”, input the designated code, then confirm with “Import”.

Pro Tip: Always verify the imported settings match the reference table below. Some players report occasional import failures that require a second attempt or manual adjustment of specific parameters.

Specify the settings manually using the following reference table (Access these options in “Settings” → “Game” → “Sight” section):

Configuration Insight: The negative gap creates an overlapping crosshair that many professional AWPers prefer for precise long-range engagements. The blue color (RGB: 0,0,255) provides excellent contrast against most map environments while remaining easy on the eyes during extended play sessions.

Install via the developer console: Enable the console by tapping the “~” key (standard binding) then input these console directives (Originally from CS:GO, potential minor variations may exist).

crosshair_sniper_show_normal_inaccuracy 0; cl_crosshair_sniper_width 1; cl_crosshair_t 0; cl_crosshairalpha 255; cl_crosshaircolor 5; cl_crosshaircolor_b 255; cl_crosshaircolor_g 0; cl_crosshaircolor_r 0; cl_crosshairdot 0; cl_crosshairgap -3; cl_crosshairgap_useweaponvalue 1; cl_crosshairsize 3.000000; cl_crosshairstyle 4; cl_crosshairthickness 0.000000; cl_crosshairusealpha 1; cl_fixedcrosshairgap 3.000000;

Console configuration offers granular control over every crosshair parameter, making it ideal for players who want to create slight variations of s1mple’s setup. However, this method requires familiarity with CS2’s command structure and may need adjustment if commands have changed between game versions.

Advanced Note: The “cl_crosshairstyle 4” command specifically enables the classic static crosshair that s1mple prefers over dynamic alternatives.

Performance Optimization: For players experiencing frame rate issues, consider increasing crosshair thickness to 0.5 or adding a minimal outline. These minor adjustments can improve visibility without significantly altering the core aiming experience.

Avoid These Common Errors: Many users mistakenly enable “Follow Recoil” or add a center dot, which contradicts s1mple’s preference for a clean, unobstructed aiming reticle.
