CS: GO: Set crosshair - there are these options

If you want to shoot more precisely in CS: GO, you should set your own crosshair. We'll show you how it's done.

Configure CS: GO crosshairs yourself

On the website Tools.Dathost.net you can configure your own crosshairs and insert them into CS: GO.

Style: Choose between different types of crosshairs. These are either classic, modern or dynamic.
Alpha: With the alpha value you can set the transparency. A less useful invisible crosshair is also possible.
Thickness: The thicker you make the crosshairs, the more confusing it becomes. However, a little thickness cannot hurt.
Size: With this setting you lengthen or shorten the four lines of the crosshair.
Gap: With the Gap function, the individual lines are pulled apart or compressed. That makes the cross even more precise.
Color: from classic green to daring pink. All colors are possible here.
Preset: Here you will also find some types of crosshairs. The classic crosshair on CS 1.6 and the simple dot are particularly interesting here.
Config: Here you can see the code for your own crosshair. Copy the code and read on in the next paragraph.

Press the [Windows] and [E] keys simultaneously so that the Explorer opens.
Open the following path here: "C: \ Program Files (x86) Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ Counter-Strike Global Offense \ csgo \ cfg". This path may vary.
Right-click on the "config" file and select the "Editor" under "Open with". It is better to copy the file beforehand and save it under a different path. If something goes wrong, you can restore your original crosshairs.
Now find the area where the lines begin with "cl_crosshair". Delete all these lines and paste your code from the website.
Save and close the file and repeat the process in the "autoexec" file.

In the next practical tip, we will show you how to activate the console in CS: GO.
