How to Apply Your Crosshair
Unfortunately we can't help you with your aim...
Applying a crosshair from this generator to CS:GO or CS2 is really straight-forward. All you need to do is paste the commands output from above into the console.
To do this, you will need to have the console enabled, see this guide for help doing so if you haven't already. Then follow these steps:
- With the console enabled, click the "Copy Config" button from above to copy your crosshair command config to your clipboard.
- Open up CS:GO or CS2 and hit the grave (
`
) or tilde (~
) key to open the console. Then, pressCTRL
+V
to paste your clipboard into the text field and hitENTER
on your keyboard. - Because you can only input a certain amount of text into the Counter-Strike console at once, the "Copy Config" button might now have a (2/2) or (2/3). If this is the case for you, you will need to click "Copy Config" again and repeat step 2 (above) until the number in the button is back to wherever you started (usually 1/2 or 1/3).

Dot Crosshair
A dot crosshair can be applied by:
- Selecting a classic crosshair style (
cl_crosshairstyle
), which is any of the following: 2, 3, 4, or 5. - Setting the size of your crosshair (
cl_crosshairsize
) to 0.
You can adjust the size of your dot crosshair by changing the thickness value (cl_crosshairthickness
).
Alternatively, copy and paste these two commands in to your CS console for a basic green dot crosshair:
cl_crosshairstyle "2";cl_crosshaircolor "1";cl_crosshairsize "0";cl_crosshairgap "-8.5";cl_crosshairalpha "255";cl_crosshairusealpha "0";cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitalpha_innermod "1";cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitalpha_outermod "1";cl_crosshairthickness "2";

Circle Crosshair
For a circle crosshair in CS2 or CS:GO, use any of the following sets of commands:
Small Green Circle:
cl_crosshairalpha "255";cl_crosshaircolor "5";cl_crosshaircolor_b "0";cl_crosshaircolor_r "0";cl_crosshaircolor_g "250";cl_crosshairdot "0";cl_crosshairgap "-7";cl_crosshairsize "1";cl_crosshairstyle "2";cl_crosshairusealpha "1";cl_crosshairthickness "2.5";cl_fixedcrosshairgap "-7";cl_crosshair_outlinethickness "0";cl_crosshair_drawoutline "0";

White Crosshair
You can apply a white crosshair in CS:GO and CS2 with the following command:
cl_crosshaircolor 5; cl_crosshaircolor_r 255; cl_crosshaircolor_g 255; cl_crosshaircolor_b 255
These are the steps (command-by-command), if you'd prefer to learn how the above command works:
- Selecting a classic crosshair style (
cl_crosshairstyle
), which is any of the following: 2, 3, 4, or 5. - Selecting crosshair color number 5 (
cl_crosshaircolor
). - Setting the RGB values of your crosshair to 255, 255, 255. You can do this using the following three commands:
cl_crosshaircolor_r 255
cl_crosshaircolor_g 255
cl_crosshaircolor_b 255
On the crosshair generator, simply selected the "Custom (5)" button and then click the square next to "Choose a custom color" to select a white color.

Square Crosshair
You can achieve a square crosshair (of any size) in CS:GO and CS2 with the following settings:
- A crosshair gap of -5 (
cl_crosshairgap
). You may need to adjust this slightly for different resolutions for a perfect fit. - A low crosshair size (below 1), we recommend 0.5 (
cl_crosshairsize
). - No crosshair dot (
cl_crosshairdot 0
). - No crosshair outline (
cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0
). - Use the crosshair thickness setting (
cl_crosshairthickness
) to adjust the size of the square.
