Best CSGO Viewmodel – TOP 5 Pro Player Settings

As you know, CSGO is a game with a very old history. It has a history going back to the early versions of Counter-Strike and then to CS 1.6. Older CS versions also had some special settings that pro gamers were obsessed with. Now, when we come to CSGO, we would like to talk about such a setting again in 2022. CSGO Viewmodel is a fine tuning where you can adjust the position of the weapon.

In our article today, we will give tips on what CSGO Viewmodel is and why it is preferred. We will also try to inform you about why professional players need it. If you are ready now, let’s get started and take a quick look at the details of our article.

What is CSGO View model? What Does it Do?

CSGO Viewmodel is the location of the weapon the character has in the game. You might wonder how important this could be. Now let’s talk about this issue. As in all competitive games, seeing is everything in this game. The more space your weapon occupies on your screen, the more your in-game performance will be affected.

The important thing here is to analyze the speed and the environment well. If your weapon occupies a large area on the screen, your rate of knocking out the opponent decreases. You must foresee your opponent and take the last hit.

How to change the CSGO Viewmodel?

First of all, it is very important for us to adjust the in-game screen angle with our eyes. Since we will dominate the whole screen with our dominant point of view, we will make the opponent and aiming so effective. You can do mini-tests to understand which eye is sharper for us.

But first you need to enable the developer console. If you haven’t done that yet, you can take a look at our article “How to open console in CSGO”? After performing these operations, you can start using the commands listed below for you by pasting them into the console.

If you trust your right eye; “cl _righthand 0“

If you trust your left eye, “cl_righthand 1” .

Another factor we need to consider is that the weapon takes up little space on the screen. The wider we see the area, the more advantages it provides for us.

●       Viewmodel_offset_x

The lower the value (min -2.5 and max 2.5), the model moves towards the middle of the screen.

●       Viewmodel_offset_y

The lower the value ( min -2.2 and max 2.2 ), the model tends towards the player.

●       Viewmodel_offset_z

The lower the value ( min -2.2 and max 2.2 ), the model gets a right angle to the bottom of the screen.

●       viewmodel_fov [FOV]

There are certain FOV settings in the in-game view. CSGO’s default setting is between 60-68. Increasing the field of view provides a more comfortable movement area for the player. 60-degree adjustment can narrow your field of view.

Another point that can affect CSGO’s view model is the aiming angle. The image will shake depending on the player’s movement, which will have a negative effect on your aiming.

●     Cl_bobamt_lat

The lower the setting (default 0.4 , min – 0.1 and max 2), the lower the bias.

●     Cl_bob_lower_amt

The lower the setting (default 21 , min 5 and max 30) the model moves forward from the player.

●       Cl_bobamt_vert

The lower the setting (default 0.25 , min 0.1 and max 2), the more the view will move up and down.

The purpose of these settings is to minimize visual deviations during the firing of the gun.

●       viewmodel_recoil (1,0)

Players who do not have a different angle of view can adjust the recoil acceleration of their weapon with the setting.

Now, we will provide you with inferences about improving yourself by talking about the features of 5 professional players in our CSGO Viewmodel review.
