02How-to

How do I enable the console in CS2?

  1. Main menu → SettingsGame
  2. Set "Enable Developer Console" to Yes
  3. In-game or in the menu, hit the tilde key (on a US keyboard ~, on a German one ^ top-left)
  4. Console opens → paste commands → Enter

Crosshair settings are saved automatically to your profile and applied in every game.

03Style explanation

Which style fits whom?

  • Style 4 — Classic Static is the pro standard: the crosshair doesn't move when shooting or running
  • Style 2 — Dynamic opens when moving and shooting, good for beginners learning spread
  • Style 5 — Default Static is Style 4 with fixed gap behaviour for the sniper
  • T-Style removes the upper line — some AWPers like that
  • Outline makes the crosshair visible on every background — I'd always leave it on
