Best CS2 Crosshair Codes in 2026

A properly chosen crosshair will not automatically make your aim perfect, but it can help you land headshots more accurately, control short bursts, and notice the center of the screen faster. In CS2, you can manually adjust the size, thickness, gap, color, outline, and behavior of your crosshair, but it is much easier to find and use a ready-made code.

A crosshair code is a combination in the CSGO-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx format that stores the main crosshair parameters. Despite the CSGO prefix, these codes are used in Counter-Strike 2. Valve added an official way to share crosshairs and import other players’ settings directly through the game menu.

This selection includes up-to-date crosshairs from professional players and several popular community options for different shooting styles.

How to Import a Crosshair Code in CS2

You do not need to use the console or download third-party files to install a ready-made crosshair:

1. Launch Counter-Strike 2.

2. Click the gear icon and open Settings.

3. Go to the Game section.

4. Open the Crosshair tab.

5. Click Share or Import.

6. Paste the code into the field.

7. Click Import.

The new crosshair is applied immediately. Before replacing your current one, it is a good idea to copy your own crosshair code and save it in notes - this way, you can quickly restore your previous settings.

Best Pro CS2 Crosshair Codes

Professional players can change their settings between matches, practice sessions, and streams. Below are current options as of August 2026, along with an exact description of how each crosshair looks after import.

donk

CSGO-kAGJP-AFeq7-hfAa4-Jmkn6-q6ksF

A very small static mint-green crosshair. It consists of short lines and a center dot, which almost merge into a compact cross because of the negative gap. Length — 1, thickness — 1, gap — −4, outline disabled.

ZywOo

CSGO-CtrmB-erJwH-kJ3Jo-pRjZA-3yOtQ

A miniature white static crosshair. The short lines are placed so close together that visually it looks like a tiny white dot or diamond. Length — 1, thickness — 1, gap — −5, center dot and outline disabled.

m0NESY

CSGO-eycw8-ZF7yv-FJiYt-OU9zn-7JXoN

A very small light-blue static crosshair made of four short lines. Because of its small size and negative gap, it looks like a compact pixel-style cross or diamond. Length — 1, thickness — 1, gap — −4, no center dot or outline.

NiKo

CSGO-HurWU-QvLHO-uJUkC-9DUU8-euzQN

A thin mint-green static cross. Its lines are longer than the donk, ZywOo, and m0NESY options, but thanks to minimal thickness, the crosshair remains light and does not cover the center of the screen. Length — 2, thickness — 0, gap — −4, dot and outline disabled.

ropz

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

A small bright-green static cross with noticeable empty space in the center. The lines are thin and separated from each other, so the crosshair shape remains easy to see even at a small size. Length — 2, thickness — 0.5, gap — −3, no dot or outline.

s1mple

CSGO-UseJt-3oTvn-47wPX-hEyER-WZfiK

A miniature light-blue static crosshair with short lines. Visually, it looks like a small pixel-style cross or diamond and is close in shape to the m0NESY version. Length — 1, thickness — 1, gap — −4, center dot and outline disabled.

Popular Community Crosshairs

You do not have to copy a professional player. Minimalist dots and simple static options are especially popular in the community.

Small Light-Blue Dot

CSGO-GVEw8-sHu5y-bFAXz-QSATR-CmA6Q

A compact dot barely covers the enemy model and is convenient for single taps. At long range, it helps place the center of the crosshair precisely on the head, but it may be less visible during spraying.

Yellow Dot With Outline

CSGO-f9sMf-FmoNz-PGZuv-4pRVe-nb4NF

The outline improves visibility on bright and complex backgrounds. This option is suitable for players whose regular dot gets lost on the walls of Mirage, Dust II, or Anubis.

Green Square Dot

CSGO-ToNAZ-yoE9j-qGEQO-xCbyd-yRzfF

A larger square is easier to track with peripheral vision. It is convenient for beginners and players who find it difficult to constantly see a very small professional-style crosshair.

How to Choose a Crosshair for Your Style

Most professional players prefer a classic static crosshair: it does not expand while moving or shooting and does not distract from the target. A dynamic crosshair can be useful for beginners who want to better understand weapon spread and inaccuracy, but it is used much less often in competitive play.

For single taps, a small crosshair or dot works well. For spraying, it is more comfortable to slightly increase the line length and leave a small gap in the center. Light blue, green, and yellow colors are usually easy to see, but there is no universal option: you should test your crosshair on bright and dark areas of different maps.

Resolution also affects the appearance. On stretched 4:3, the crosshair may look larger and thicker than on standard 16:9. That is why, after importing a code, you should not be afraid to adjust the length, thickness, or gap by 0.5-1 point.

How to Copy Another Player’s Crosshair

CS2 allows you to copy a teammate’s crosshair directly during a match. Open the scoreboard with Tab, select the player you want, and click Copy Crosshair. After confirmation, their settings will replace your current ones.

Before making a final choice, test several codes in Deathmatch or on a practice map. Check shooting with pistols, the AK-47, and the M4, as well as crosshair visibility on different backgrounds. The best crosshair is not necessarily the one used by a famous professional, but the one that stays visible and does not cover the target at your resolution and with your playstyle.

You can also choose a full config from your favorite CS2 pro player and start playing like a real pro. Go to the CS2 Configs section and pick the option that suits you best.
