Crosshair new system

768p pixels, enlarged

cl_crosshairstyle 2; cl_crosshair_length 3; cl_crosshair_thickness 2; cl_crosshair_gap -1; cl_crosshairdot 0; cl_crosshair_t 0; cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0; cl_crosshair_recoil 0; cl_crosshaircolor_r 250; 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 1; cl_crosshair_dynamic_maxdist_splitratio 0; cl_ironsight_usecrosshaircolor 0; cl_ironsight_dot_scale 1; cl_crosshair_screen_height 768

Not in this config because the setting didn't exist yet, so off: cl_crosshairgap_useweaponvalue, cl_crosshair_t, cl_crosshair_recoil.
cl_crosshairalpha 800 is outside 0-255; the old game drew it as 255.
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 shox's CS:GO settings from 2014-07, the year of the ranking (see where these settings come from). Converted to CS2's crosshair system since the Sept 22, 2026 update, authored at 768p, shox'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 shox-2014 in the console.

Game-written config.cfg from setup.gg's archive, with the in-game name 'EPSILON shoxieJESUS * Viewsonic'. It has engine_no_focus_sleep and cl_radar_square_with_scoreboard (added 23 Jul 2014) but not cl_crosshairgap_useweaponvalue (added 1 Aug 2014), so it was saved between those dates.

DPI is only taken from a source that lists the same sensitivity, so the eDPI matches the sensitivity shown. The other parts can come from configs of different dates, as listed.
