Best CSGO & CS2 crosshair codes used by pros (2023): s1mple, ZywOo, NiKo, more
In CS:GO and CS2, your crosshair can be tailored to your exact preference, but it can be difficult to find the perfect crosshair for you. You can use the best CS:GO crosshair codes used by pros, and these will work for your CS2 crosshair as well.
The crosshair is how you line up headshots, aim nades, and control spray, so it’s obviously a crucial part of your setup.
By default, CS:GO and CS2 will give you a green dynamic crosshair, but for most players, this is not ideal. Many players prefer a static crosshair that is less distracting when shooting and moving, and a color that stands out against any backdrop.
But there are endless choices, and you could spend hours tweaking your crosshair settings without getting it just right. To save time, these are the crosshair codes used by pro players, which you can try out with a simple copy and paste. You can use these codes in the Counter-Strike 2 beta as well.
We’ve picked out fourteen of the world’s greatest players, including both AWPers and riflers, and listed the crosshair codes they use in CS:GO. Then, check the table below to see even more crosshairs you can try from pros. Note: Crosshairs will look different depending on the res you play at (16:9/16:10/4:3).
CSGO-UwUWf-AScRw-fmW79-woFNe-wLsuL
NAVI’s s1mple is generally regarded as the best player in the history of Counter-Strike, so what better place to start than with his crosshair code? While s1mple is a primary AWPer (where you don’t even see a crosshair), he is also a superstar with the rifle in hand, so this crosshair is worth trying out.
CSGO-Qzpx5-BRLw8-xFPCS-hTns4-GHDhP
ZywOo, now a major winner in CS:GO, is another player who is almost as good with an AK as the best riflers in the world, while being an AWP user primarily. He uses a small green crosshair as shown.
CSGO-UwUWf-AScRw-fmW79-woFNe-wLsuL
While s1mple and ZywOo are rifle experts too, few would argue that Nikola ‘NiKo‘ Kovač is the best rifler in the world. If you aspire to be as good as the G2 star, you’re probably out of luck, but at least you can emulate his crosshair with the code provided.
CSGO-hzrMn-jXu8b-R7VH4-hQ9aa-OnMHA
Like many players, the young prodigy m0NESY uses a cyan-colored crosshair in CS:GO. Although he’s only been in the pro scene for a couple of years, G2’s AWPer has more than proved himself at the highest level and is one of the most exciting players in the world.
CSGO-jvnbx-S3xFK-iEJXD-Y27Nd-AO6FP
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 uses a yellowish crosshair to tap heads.
CSGO-9axTZ-n8pEc-uCqW3-SWTK7-3WOAK
Arguably the greatest North American player of all time in CS:GO, Twistzz, FaZe Clan’s Canadian rifler, is another headshot machine, and he does it all with this simple cyan crosshair.
CSGO-HhqGJ-sDkmR-W9oNx-DvQOF-xpuCQ
Twistzz’s teammate, 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.
CSGO-oit62-q2AsV-L2SHE-3hoEJ-cMwLA
Cloud9’s primary AWPer, Dmitriy ‘sh1ro’ Sokolov, is a superstar in his own right, even if he doesn’t get the shine of his contemporaries like s1mple and ZywOo. His crosshair is somewhat unique among pros, with a faded yellow color.
CSGO-nZtuj-eHzcb-8fyLe-Cxbwc-NHpEM
Sticking with the Cloud9 stars, their star rifler Sergey ‘Ax1Le’ Rykhtorov is quickly making 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.
CSGO-7ANjy-XxRae-25YoE-7Bfnp-QQSFE
Team Liquid’s Mareks ‘YEKINDAR’ Gaļinskis is 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.
CSGO-LdXHk-hatWX-JjEa8-tuLDN-5tbJD
Even in a struggling Astralis team, Benjamin ‘blameF’ Bremer is a consistent performer. Although sometimes criticized for his passive playstyle by fans, there is no denying that a one-on-one duel with blameF is a risk for even the best in the world. He uses a small, dot-like crosshair to land his shots.
CSGO-BFTzN-avOyU-djZEM-FmwKd-v5TCP
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.
CSGO-mw7Mq-5QZfQ-Bj8m7-LHMTr-cVGOP
Although many say that Heroic doesn’t have a ‘star’ player (unless you count cadiaN’s antics), the closest thing they have is Martin ‘stavn’ Lund. Still a young player, stavn has shown moments of pure brilliance on the biggest stage and is a clutch expert, too. He uses a very small, light blue crosshair.
CSGO-VraXK-7zmqf-LQjcY-7VSZz-PDNfN
The best Brazilian player in the world, Kaike ‘KSCERATO’ Cerato, is among the very best riflers globally, and although his FURIA team has struggled to win international events, few would lay much of the blame at his feet. Always a top performer, you can emulate his crosshair with the code above.

It’s a simple process to use these crosshair codes in CS:GO, by copying and pasting them into your settings. You can also import crosshair codes in CS2 the exact same way.
To do this, follow these steps:
Open the settings menu in CS:GO by clicking the cog symbol Navigate to ‘Game’ and then ‘Crosshair’ On the crosshair preview image, click ‘Share and Import’ Paste the code into the pop-up and click ‘Import’
Valve You can import crosshair settings buy entering the code here.
This will automatically change your crosshair to the exact settings used by one of these pro players, depending on which code you use.
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, in a Notepad note, for example. That way, you can always revert to your previous crosshair easily.
Remember, changing aspect ratio and resolution will also change how the crosshair appears. Many pro players use 4:3 stretched, so their crosshair will look different if you play on a different res.
