Crosshair new system

1050p pixels, enlarged

cl_crosshairstyle 4; cl_crosshair_length 3; cl_crosshair_thickness 1; cl_crosshair_gap 0; cl_crosshairdot 0; cl_crosshair_t 0; cl_crosshair_drawoutline 1; cl_crosshairoutline_r 0; cl_crosshairoutline_g 0; cl_crosshairoutline_b 0; cl_crosshairoutline_a 255; cl_crosshair_recoil 0; cl_crosshaircolor_r 250; cl_crosshaircolor_g 50; cl_crosshaircolor_b 50; cl_crosshaircolor_a 255; cl_ironsight_usecrosshaircolor 0; cl_ironsight_dot_scale 1; cl_crosshair_screen_height 1050

Odd-width bars sit on a different centre pixel in the new game, so the crosshair may appear 1 px off.
Old thickness 0 still drew a thin line, so the export uses a positive thickness.
The negative gap made the old arms cross the centre and merge into one solid bar per axis. The conversion accounts for that overlap using gap 0; visible outline overpaint is scored separately.
The old game drew each outline just before its own bar or dot, so a later outline darkened part of an earlier bar or the dot; the current game draws all colour over all outline, so some of those dark pixels differ in the closest shape found within the search window.
The full outline (cl_crosshair_drawoutline 1) is modelled as 1 px all round; no game capture checks it yet.

Converted from the pre-patch crosshair settings.gg lists for Cryptic to CS2's crosshair system since the Sept 22, 2026 update, authored at 1050p, Cryptic's resolution; CS2 rescales it to your resolution. Many pros rebuilt their crosshair after the update, so this may not be what Cryptic uses now — see their crosshair history.

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 3 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 cryptic in the console.

Part 1 · Crosshair

cl_crosshairstyle 4; cl_crosshair_length 3; cl_crosshair_thickness 1; cl_crosshair_gap 0; cl_crosshairdot 0; cl_crosshair_t 0; cl_crosshair_drawoutline 1; cl_crosshairoutline_r 0; cl_crosshairoutline_g 0; cl_crosshairoutline_b 0; cl_crosshairoutline_a 255; cl_crosshair_recoil 0; cl_crosshaircolor_r 250; cl_crosshaircolor_g 50; cl_crosshaircolor_b 50; cl_crosshaircolor_a 255; cl_ironsight_usecrosshaircolor 0; cl_ironsight_dot_scale 1; cl_crosshair_screen_height 1050

Part 2 · Mouse, viewmodel & radar

sensitivity 0.4425; zoom_sensitivity_ratio 1; viewmodel_fov 68; viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y 0; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5; cl_radar_scale 0.25; cl_hud_radar_scale 1

Part 3 · HUD & other

hud_scaling 0.9; cl_hud_color 0; fps_max 0; r_fullscreen_gamma 2.2

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 0.4425; zoom_sensitivity_ratio 1

DPI & polling rate are set in your mouse software, not in-game. Recommended: DPI 1600 · eDPI 708 · polling 1000 Hz

Viewmodel viewmodel_*

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

Radar cl_radar_*

cl_radar_scale 0.25; cl_hud_radar_scale 1

HUD hud_*

hud_scaling 0.9; cl_hud_color 0

Performance & Other misc

fps_max 0; r_fullscreen_gamma 2.2

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

Adapted for CS2 4

hud_scaling 0 is outside CS2's range, set to 0.9
cl_radar_scale 0 is outside CS2's range, set to 0.25
setting.defaultres is a video setting, set in Settings → Video (see Video settings), left out
setting.defaultresheight is a video setting, set in Settings → Video (see Video settings), left out

The autoexec.cfg exactly as settings.gg serves it, in the format from before the Sept 22, 2026 update: its crosshair settings no longer work in CS2, so don't exec it — use the converted commands or .cfg above.
