#9 in HLTV Top 20 Players of 2013 (compLexity Gaming). These are Hiko's CS:GO settings from 2014, the closest to 2013 we found that can be converted, with the resolution from 2016-12-13. Source confidence: medium.

No crosshair of his from 2013 is known; Liquipedia's page for him had no crosshair table until 17 May 2016 (revision 362679), and during 2016 alone it lists three different ones.

cl_crosshairstyle 2; cl_crosshair_length 4; cl_crosshair_thickness 2; cl_crosshair_gap -1; cl_crosshairdot 0; cl_crosshair_t 0; cl_crosshair_drawoutline 2; cl_crosshairoutline_r 0; cl_crosshairoutline_g 0; cl_crosshairoutline_b 0; cl_crosshairoutline_a 255; cl_crosshair_recoil 0; cl_crosshaircolor_r 50; cl_crosshaircolor_g 250; cl_crosshaircolor_b 50; cl_crosshaircolor_a 255; cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitdist 5; cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitalpha_innermod 1; cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitalpha_outermod 0.3; cl_crosshair_dynamic_maxdist_splitratio 0; cl_ironsight_usecrosshaircolor 0; cl_ironsight_dot_scale 1; cl_crosshair_screen_height 960

Not in this config because the setting didn't exist yet, so off: cl_crosshair_t, cl_crosshair_recoil.
Old colour index 6 is not a preset; the old game drew it in its default green (50, 250, 50) and ignored the stored RGB, so that green is used.
An old outline thinner than 1 drew only on the top and left, so the export uses the half outline (cl_crosshair_drawoutline 2), which matches one user capture (issue #11).
Exported as style 2, Dynamic Cross (Classic), which like the old style 2 places the bars at the weapon's spread plus the gap, so the gap is the old one without Static Cross's fixed 4 px and can be negative. The at-rest shape matches the old one with a rifle; this is from the game code, not checked in game.

These are Hiko's CS:GO settings from 2014, the closest to 2013 we found that can be converted (see where these settings come from). Converted to CS2's crosshair system since the Sept 22, 2026 update, authored at 960p, Hiko's resolution; CS2 rescales it to your resolution.

Valve published no conversion formula. This uses a community reconstruction (small-indie-crosshair-company v0.19.1, model community-static-v11, CS2 build 2000922); for Static Cross at 1080p and 960p it agrees with the rule crosshairrestore.com measured from in-game screenshots (CS2 builds before Sept 30), and nothing else has been checked against captures.

The paste sets every setting that shapes this crosshair, including the iron-sight dot (CS2's defaults where their config has no value), so nothing from your current crosshair carries over.

Full config 4 parts

Download .cfg

The CS2 console can reject a pasted line longer than 510 characters, so the full config comes in parts: press ~ in CS2, paste part 1, press Enter, then do the same with the next part. Or download the .cfg, save it in Counter-Strike Global Offensive/game/csgo/cfg/ and run exec hiko-2013 in the console.

Part 3 · Mouse, viewmodel & radar

sensitivity 4; zoom_sensitivity_ratio 1; viewmodel_fov 68; viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y 0; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5; viewmodel_presetpos 3; cl_hud_radar_scale 1; cl_radar_scale 0.25; cl_radar_always_centered 1; cl_radar_rotate 1

Part 4 · HUD & other

hud_scaling 0.95; cl_hud_color 2; cl_teammate_colors_show 2; cl_prefer_lefthanded 0

Convars CS2 renamed are renamed, values outside CS2's range are set to the nearest one it accepts, and convars CS2 doesn't have or that are cheat-protected are left out (see Adapted for CS2 below).

Mouse & Sensitivity sensitivity

sensitivity 4; zoom_sensitivity_ratio 1

Their DPI isn't documented with this sensitivity. The matcher below assumes 400 DPI, from their setup.gg profile (2016-12-13, where they used sensitivity 3.7); change it if you know better.

Viewmodel viewmodel_*

viewmodel_fov 68; viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y 0; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5; viewmodel_presetpos 3

Radar cl_radar_*

cl_hud_radar_scale 1; cl_radar_scale 0.25; cl_radar_always_centered 1; cl_radar_rotate 1

HUD hud_*

hud_scaling 0.95; cl_hud_color 2; cl_teammate_colors_show 2

Performance & Other misc

cl_prefer_lefthanded 0

Misc convars (fps caps, gamma, gameplay toggles) captured from this player's config.

Adapted for CS2 4

cl_righthand 1 is cl_prefer_lefthanded 0 in CS2 (the value is inverted)
zoom_sensitivity_ratio_mouse is called zoom_sensitivity_ratio in CS2
m_rawinput doesn't exist in CS2, left out
m_customaccel doesn't exist in CS2, left out

Video settings manual

Video settings
Resolution	1280x960

CS2 doesn't allow these via console commands — set them in Settings → Video. For stretched scaling also configure your GPU driver panel.

How the date is known
A config.cfg written by Hiko's game, from setup.gg's archive. Its Operation Breakout reminder stores a timestamp of 4 Aug 2014, and it lacks snd_menumusic_volume and the other music-volume settings that came with the 10 Oct 2014 update, so it was saved between those dates. It was saved after he had moved from compLexity to Cloud9 (1 Aug 2014 in Liquipedia's team history), 7 to 9 months after the end of 2013.

How the date is known
From setup.gg's profile for Hiko (data.yml), published on 13 Dec 2016 and not changed since. It doesn't say when the values were collected, so this is the latest possible date. No source from 2013 to 2015 gives 1280x960: Liquipedia lists 1920x1080 on 23 Oct 2015 (revision 234246) and 1024x768 stretched from 15 Dec 2015 (revision 261904), changes between 1280x1024, 1920x1080 and 1024x768 during 2016, and first gives 1280x960 in Feb 2017. At 1024x768 the crosshair converts to length 3 instead of 4; at 1920x1080 it is the same as at 1280x960.
DPI (assumed) · 2016-12-13 · github.com
Why it is assumed
No source lists a DPI with this sensitivity, so the DPI matcher assumes the 400 DPI of their setup.gg profile, which lists sensitivity 3.7; change it on the page if you know better.

No source lists a DPI with this sensitivity, so the DPI matcher's DPI is assumed (see above). The other parts can come from configs of different dates, as listed.
