Best CS2 crosshair codes used by pros

Using the right crosshair for you in Counter-Strike 2 is crucial. But, if you don’t know where to start, why not copy a pro? These are the best crosshair codes for CS2 used by the world’s top players.

With the perfect crosshair in Counter-Strike 2, you’ll feel more comfortable hitting headshots, lining up grenades, and controlling your spray.

By default, CS2 will give you a dynamic green crosshair. However, this is not very popular among seasoned players, as the crosshair’s movement can be distracting. Instead, the more common choice is a static crosshair, that stays perfectly still when you fire or move.

There are countless options for your crosshair, and you could spend hours tweaking it. To save time, these are the best CS2 crosshairs pro players use, including AWPers and riflers, which you can try by copying their crosshair codes.

Best CS2 crosshair codes used by pro players

Note: Use the ‘Filter Player’ and ‘Filter Team’ functions to quickly find who you’re looking for, and click their name to see an in-game preview of the crosshair.

Pro players often change their crosshairs regularly, but we’ll keep this list as updated as possible with new crosshairs as they change. Also, remember that crosshairs will look bigger or smaller depending on what res you play on (16:9/16:10/4:3).

We’ve updated and tested these codes based on the latest available settings from the pro players. These codes are based on what they used in their last match on record. Following the latest major tournament, The BLAST Austin Major, we have updated crosshair codes based on what players are using now, in August 2025.

ZywOo crosshair code

CSGO-wAD3c-ykt5L-zvZ98-vBisR-6sWPA

ZywOo, now a major winner in both CS:GO and CS2, is almost as good with an AK as the best riflers in the world, while being an AWP user primarily.

He uses a cyan crosshair as shown, but is regularly playing around with his crosshair. So, like others, you might see him trying something else on stream.

You can see ZywOo’s complete settings here.

NiKo crosshair code

CSGO-RBZih-6Hynp-ieuGe-tTkVz-9PqNO

Few would argue that Nikola ‘NiKo‘ Kovač is the best rifler in the world. If you aspire to be as good as the Falcons star, you’re probably out of luck, but at least you can emulate his crosshair with the code provided.

Check out NiKo’s full settings here.

donk crosshair code

CSGO-A3DRv-tsMwD-ceNtt-nAcw4-8bBAA

A new entry on the list of best players in the world, a 17-year-old phenom donk lit up the CS world with his monster performance at IEM Katowice 2024, and now he’s a major champion, and IEM Cologne winner.

Unsurprisingly, his crosshair will now be copied by thousands of players, hoping it might let them entry frag like him. Obviously, it won’t, but it can’t hurt to try.

You can see donk’s full CS2 settings here.

m0NESY crosshair code

CSGO-VHcPj-yPL6x-NAHqX-s2yyW-o2OtQ

Like many players, the young prodigy m0NESY uses a cyan-colored crosshair. Although he’s only been in the pro scene for a couple of years, Falcon’s new AWPer has more than proved himself at the highest level and is one of the most exciting players in the world.

He usually has a cyan crosshair, but he has recently swapped it out for a green crosshair instead, so you might want to give it a try.

You can find m0NESY’s settings in full here.

s1mple crosshair code

CSGO-m58cB-AyBDC-AV6tp-Gwq2K-QGKeB

s1mple is regarded as the best player in the history of Counter-Strike, and although he’s been taking time out for a lot of CS2, he previously joined FaZe for the Austin Major, and managed a run to the playoffs.

He was last seen using a cyan crosshair, on a 4:3 resolution.

You can see s1mple’s complete Counter-Strike settings here.

dev1ce crosshair code

CSGO-kmDiu-OOKCU-ufBWe-ZyfE6-f8GSQ

Despite some time away from professional play, Astralis legend Nicolai ‘dev1ce‘ Reedtz is back like he never left, and his individual performance is as strong as ever. He was last seen using this yellow crosshair with a fairly wide center gap.

Twistzz crosshair code

CSGO-QxRLD-Anvtr-XhAEz-mVy7a-WROpP

Arguably the greatest North American player of all time in CS:GO, Twistzz, Team Liquid’s Canadian rifler, is another headshot machine, and he does it all with this simple cyan crosshair.

He rarely changes from this crosshair too, so maybe you ought to stick with it as well.

malbsMd crosshair code

CSGO-jRQn5-6UMfW-4t7q8-cNJca-iDjLJ

G2’s rising star, Mario ‘malbsMd’ Samayoa, rose up the ranks to tier 1 CS rapidly, and is now cemented as one of CS2’s strongest players. If you want to replicate the Guatemalan’s crosshair, which is a small green one, use the code above.

ropz crosshair code

CSGO-nCfX7-54ue9-aC5eV-6Womf-Q6izO

Robin ‘ropz’ Kool, is often lauded as one of the players with the greatest mechanical skill in CS, even leading to pros accusing him of cheating before he went pro. Of course, it’s actually just his crisp aim, which he achieves with this green crosshair.

sh1ro crosshair code

CSGO-2R3RD-dBh8Z-mBZZU-yA5mE-bkMHA

Dmitriy ‘sh1ro’ Sokolov, now with Team Spirit, is a superstar in his own right, even if he doesn’t get the shine of his contemporaries like m0nesy and ZywOo. His crosshair is somewhat unique among pros, with a green color.

Ax1Le crosshair code

CSGO-VUruu-vsXq5-kNiQC-4cVwq-pLDhP

Cloud9’s star rifler Sergey ‘Ax1Le’ Rykhtorov quickly made a name for himself as a true threat to the crown of NiKo in this role. If his crosshair is more to your style, then give it a shot using the code above.

YEKINDAR crosshair code

CSGO-ufZUO-V27Te-WQRmC-LhG9C-6AU8N

Mareks ‘YEKINDAR’ Gaļinskis was once tipped as the best entry-fragger role player in the world, with his signature aggression on the T side.

He’s more than happy to push any bombsite, confident his expert crosshair placement will help him clear the CT’s power positions. He does so with this neat and tidy green crosshair.

ELiGE crosshair code

CSGO-7CTNE-2vxei-pFG9e-WH6sb-yZTOG

Another of NA’s finest, Jonathan ‘EliGE’ Jablonowski’s standout trait is often his spray control. While you might think your crosshair is not all that important in this regard, the difference between a dynamic and static crosshair will determine whether it expands or not when firing. ELiGE, like most pros, prefers a static one.

More CS2 pro crosshairs

While we’ve picked out some of the best crosshairs from the best players above, there are countless more pro players to choose from. Here’s a selection of more codes for you to try:

How to import crosshair codes in CS2

You import crosshair codes in CS2 through the ‘game settings’ menu, by simply pasting the code you want to try. This will change your in-game crosshair instantly. Follow these steps:

1. Open the settings menu in CS2 by clicking the cog symbol
2. Go to ‘Game’ and then ‘Crosshair’
3. On the crosshair preview image, click ‘Share and Import’
4. Paste the code into the pop-up and click ‘Import’

This will then change your crosshair to the exact settings used by the professional player. You may also want to check their res though, as most pros play on a 4:3 stretched res, which will make the crosshair larger than on default, 16:9 res.

If you want to keep a record of your own code, simply click ‘copy my code’ before importing a new one, and then save this somewhere. That way, you can always revert to your previous crosshair easily.

How to copy crosshairs in CS2

If you see a crosshair another player is using when playing in a match, it’s easy to copy their crosshair too. Here’s how to copy another player’s crosshair:

1. Press tab to open up the match scoreboard
2. Click on the player’s name that you want to copy from
3. Select “Copy Crosshair”
4. Select “Yes” to replace your current crosshair

Remember, it’s a good idea to take note of your preferred crosshair codes before so you can easily revert if you want it back.

Crosshair tips: How to get the perfect crosshair

Even if you don’t use one of the crosshairs listed above, there are a few tips that you should keep in mind when creating ther perfect crosshair for you in CS2.

Static vs Dynamic: We strongly recommend using a static crosshair, which will prevent it moving when you are walking or sprinting. If you are brand new to CS, it may be helpful to use dynamic – to remind you about movement innaccuracy. But, once you have the hang of it, a static crosshair will typically be much easier to control recoil, when spraying.

Follow recoil: Speaking of recoil, CS2 has a new “follow recoil” setting, which will track where the next bullet in a spray will land. Although some players have dabbled with it, it’s very rarely used among top players, which indicates it’s probably not optimal, unless you are really trying to master spray control.

Size and color: When it comes to the size and color of your crosshair, of course this is personal preference. However, cyan is the most popular color, as it stands out against almost all backgrounds. Green and Yellow are also popular choices. Red and dark blue is less common, as it can be less visible in dark areas of maps.

For the size, remember that the resolution and aspect ration you play on will impact how large the crosshair appears on your screen, so if you copy a pro player’s code, it will appear differently if your display settings are different.
