sh1ro CS2 settings (2024): Crosshair, configuration, sensitivity, and more

After a successful limited beta phase, Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) is out for the global playerbase. The title maintains its focus on aiming and tactical gameplay similar to its predecessor, CS:GO, but offers a sharper-looking environment having been built on the powerful Source 2 engine. This means out-aiming your opponent remains at the core of CS2's gameplay mechanics.

To perform well in the title, you need optimized settings, which can be difficult to zero in on, given the multitude of options in the settings menu. Looking at the settings used by professional players can be quite helpful when it comes to this.

Dmitriy “sh1ro” Sokolov is a CS2 professional CS2 athlete of Russian descent. He is currently a player on the Cloud9 roster. The young gun came to the forefront of the CS:GO esports scene as a member of the Gambit Youngsters squad.
