How to Use Crosshair Codes in CS2

Step-by-Step Guide to Entering Crosshair Codes

Among the valuable features you can use in Counter-Strike 2 is "Crosshair Code". All you have to do is copy the crosshair settings of a particular player and enter a unique code in the import box.

Next to the crosshair preview in this block is the "Share/ Import" button. When you click the "Copy Your Code" button, your crosshair code will appear in the box, which you can share with a friend or community. 

You can also paste someone else's code into the box and click the "Import" button, after which the settings will be changed.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

Some players have complained in CS2 that their crosshair is reset to default settings whenever they open the game. Only some changes the player makes each time they open the game are saved. 

Changing the crosshair every time is very difficult and tedious, and even importing the code could be more convenient. 

Try to solve the problem by customizing the crosshair via a file in Autoexec. Just make sure you use the new path /game/cfg/ and include the crosshair command there—for example, cl_crosshairdot.

That way, the crosshair will be saved every time you run.

Popular CS2 Crosshair Codes

Many players who follow the esports scene always want to know what crosshair the pro players use at any moment, so they create resources that capture this.

Creating and Sharing Your Own Crosshair Codes

General Information About CS2 Crosshair

The crosshair has two styles, dynamic and static, with slight variations. The CS2 static crosshair is by far the most popular among players of all levels, including pros. 

There are five basic styles: 

Default. In this case, you will see a wide, square design with a center dot. The crosshair lines dynamically widen and narrow, reflecting your accuracy as you move. But this crosshair is unpopular and looks a bit weird.

Default Static. Here, you will see a crosshair from the center dot accompanied by four lines going outwards.

Classic. The classic crosshair configuration consists of crosshair lines pointing vertically and horizontally. The lines are dynamically adjusted as you move. 

Classic Dynamics. Like the classic crosshair, this style lacks fine dots. The transverse lines expand and narrow to show your accuracy as you move.

Classic Static. It is known as the most famous crosshair in Counter-Strike. It has a rectilinear transverse structure.

You may need a few crosshairs of different colors to play other maps. For example, yellow is more visible on maps such as Nuke and Vertigo than on popular maps such as Mirage and Inferno. Green (the most popular color) only works well when playing Ancient.

By the way, the Vertigo and Ancient maps have recently made changes. 

Customizing Your Crosshair

You can create your crosshairs and share them with others. To manually change the crosshairs' settings, go to the "Settings" menu and click the "Crosshairs" tab. 

There, you will find a variety of settings to change. By dragging these sliders, you can adjust the size and style of the Counter-Strike crosshairs. In a small window, you will see a preview of how your crosshair will look in the game.

Crosshair preferences are subjective; what works best for one player may not work for another. Experiment until you find a crosshair that you feel comfortable with.

You can also use console commands to achieve more precise settings. Open the developer console and enter the appropriate CS2 crosshair console commands.

If you are afraid of getting confused in the settings and messing things up, there is a popular map in the workshop - crashz crosshair generator v4.

You can customize the crosshair on this map and see how it will look in the game. You can even shoot at bots to evaluate how the crosshair fits you when moving and spraying.

Another helpful feature of this map is the repository of crosshairs of professional players. You won't have to reinvent the wheel because, among 80 different variants, you may find the one that perfectly suits you.

Sharing Your Crosshair Code with Others

We've already written about how to share your crosshairs, but we'll do it again and tell you one more time.

Use the "Crosshair Code" function in the game settings.

This window has a "Share/Import" button next to the crosshair preview. When you click on the "Cоѕѕhаir Code" button, a code will appear in the box that you can send to another player. Copy it and send it to others to share your invention.
