CSGO Crosshair Dot 2022 – How to Set?
As we mentioned at the beginning of our article, there are dozens of dot crosshair settings in CSGO. Before we get into all this, we would like to first tell you how you can use these settings. First of all, the first thing you should know is the dot crosshair console commands. We will be explaining them already in another part of our article. Once you have the commands, you will have to use them one by one. If a wrong punctuation is used or even one letter is different, you will not be able to successfully transfer your crosshair to the game.
- First of all, we want to talk about the first method. As you know in CSGO, you have the opportunity to set launch options. For this, you need to select the game from your Steam Library and right-click with the mouse.
- Then, you should click on “Properties…” in the drop-down menu and display the “Launch Options” section under the General menu.
If you do not understand how to use it, you can take a look at our article “How to set launch options.”
- Here, you can use the dot crosshair, which we will share with you under the box that says Launch Options, to add it to your CS account. All you have to do from now on is to enter the game and enjoy your new crosshair.

CSGO Dot Crosshair – Console Commands
There are some commands to use and create amazing crosshairs. Now we will explain these commands one by one. In this way, if you do not like the dot crosshairs we share, you will be able to create a better one for yourself. Let’s start.
cl_crosshairstyle
CSGO has a total of five different crosshair types. Players have to choose a value among the numbers 0-4 to choose the one that suits them best. The CSGO community’s favorite crosshair types are 2,3 and 4. The remaining 2 crosshair types are not preferred, they are difficult to use and are thought to restrict vision.
cl_crosshairdot
Players can determine whether they want a point on their crosshairs with this command. You have a choice between 0 or 1. You can enable the command with 1 while 0 disables it.
cl_crosshaircolor
You can determine the color of your crosshair using this command. Players are free to choose a value between 0-5. Numbers with a total of six colors represent the following colors.
- 0 – Red
- 1 – Green
- 2 – Yellow
- 3 – Blue
- 4 – Cyan
- 5 – Custom
You can set the value we specified as the custom color with three different console commands. These are cl_crosshair_r, cl_crosshair_b and cl_crosshair_g. If CSGO players want to set a quality dot crosshair, they have to make their color preferences accordingly. You can set a value from 0 to 255 for each of these three commands so that you can use any color you want. Finally, these three special commands represent shades of red, blue and green.
cl_crosshairalpha
This command briefly helps you to adjust the transparency of your crosshair. Users can select a value between 0-255 to regulate the crosshair visibility. In general, most pro gamers keep this setting at 255.
Furthermore, you need to use the console command “cl_crosshairusealpha 1” to activate the above setting.
cl_crosshairoutline
Moreover, it provides a better experience by making the crosshairs you are using more visible. You can adjust by assigning a value between 0 and 3. But usually the standard values used are 1 or 2.
cl_crosshairsize
Perhaps this is the most important crosshair command in CSGO. Because it allows you to adjust the size or length of your crosshair. The default value is 5 but many players prefer any value between 2 – 3.5. Using more than the default value is not recommended for beginners.
cl_crosshairthickness
Moreover, with this command, you can adjust the thickness or width of your crosshair. Furthermore, the default value is 0.5. However, you can increase it according to the situation and customize it according to you.
cl_crosshairgap
It is a command used to adjust the distance between your crosshairs. The default value is 0. However, most players use a value between 1 and 2.
