About this tool
A crosshair is a decision, not a preference
Every crosshair trades two things against each other: how easily you find it, and how much of the enemy it hides. A thick, bright cross is impossible to lose on a busy angle and covers a head at distance; a thin one leaves the target visible and disappears against a light wall. The generator exists so you can see that trade instead of guessing at it — the preview sits on the same maps you play, at a zoom you control.
Nothing here is sent anywhere. The settings live in your browser, the commands are built locally, and the share code is generated with the same checksummed encoding Counter-Strike 2 uses, so it pastes straight into the game.
- 1Set the style first: static (4) holds still, dynamic (2) opens while you move. Everything else reads differently depending on this one.
- 2Tune size, thickness and gap against the map background until you can find it instantly without losing the head behind it.
- 3Copy the commands into the developer console, or paste the share code into Settings → Game → Crosshair → Share or Import.
How CS2 describes a crosshair
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| cl_crosshairstyle | The whole behaviour: 4 is static, 2 and 3 open up as you move and shoot, 0 and 1 are the old defaults. Change this before anything else. |
| cl_crosshairsize | How long each arm is. Longer arms are easier to spot on a busy background but cover more of the target at range. |
| cl_crosshairthickness | How wide each arm is. Below 1 the crosshair thins out on bright surfaces; above 2 it starts hiding heads at long distance. |
| cl_crosshairgap | The hole in the middle. Negative values pull the arms together, which is why most players run a value between -3 and 0. |
| cl_crosshair_drawoutline / cl_crosshair_outlinethickness | A black border around every arm. It costs almost nothing and it is what keeps a cyan or green crosshair visible on a light wall. |
| cl_crosshaircolor + cl_crosshaircolor_r/g/b | Values 0 to 4 are the fixed colours; 5 hands over to the three RGB values, which is the only way to pick your own. |
| cl_crosshairalpha / cl_crosshairusealpha | Opacity from 0 to 255, only applied when the use-alpha switch is on. Lower it if the crosshair feels heavy over utility. |
| cl_crosshairdot / cl_crosshair_t | A dot in the middle, and the T shape that removes the top arm so nothing sits between you and a head at head level. |
In practice: what actually helps you aim
- Start from static (style 4). A crosshair that changes size while you move tells you about your movement, not about where the bullet goes.
- Keep the outline on. It costs you nothing and it is the single change that stops a crosshair vanishing on light textures.
- Small gap, thin arms and a dot beat one big shape for spraying — you keep seeing the enemy through the recoil.
- Put the commands in autoexec.cfg once you are happy. A crosshair you rebuild every patch is a crosshair you never get used to.

Frequently asked questions
Open the developer console with the tilde key and paste the whole command block at once. The crosshair changes as the last line runs — no restart, no map change. If the console does not open, enable it in Settings → Game → Enable Developer Console.
