Question 1

Where do the crosshair codes come from?

Accepted Answer

Two sources. Match demos: the parser reads a player's crosshair code straight out of the game recording, so such a code has a date, a map and an opponent. And the players' own public posts — those codes are entered by hand, with the source and date shown in the player's code history.

Question 2

Why does an old crosshair code not work?

Accepted Answer

On 22–24 September 2026 CS2 moved the crosshair to pixels, and on 30 September it changed the code format: a code is now “CS” followed by 44 characters, no dashes. CSGO-xxxxx-… codes no longer import. Every code on this page is already in the new format: we converted the old ones with the same rules the game used. Paste your own old code into the generator to get a new one.

Question 3

How do I apply a crosshair code in CS2?

Accepted Answer

Settings → Game → Crosshair → Share or Import, paste the code and confirm. Or type apply_crosshair_code followed by the code in the console.

Question 4

What crosshair does donk use?

Accepted Answer

Static cross: length 2 px, thickness 2 px, gap 1 px, no dot, green (RGB 0, 255, 0). The code from 29 September 2026 is on donk's crosshair page.

Question 5

What crosshair does s1mple use?

Accepted Answer

Static cross: length 2 px, thickness 2 px, gap 1 px, no dot, white (RGB 255, 255, 255). Code and history on s1mple's crosshair page.

Question 6

Static or dynamic crosshair — which is better?

Accepted Answer

16 of the 16 pros in the database play a static crosshair: it does not move when you run or shoot, so the aim point never changes. A dynamic one (style 0) helps in the first hundred hours — it shows the spread — then it gets in the way of tracking heads.

Question 7

What is a dot crosshair and who plays it?

Accepted Answer

A cross with arm length 0 and cl_crosshairdot 1, or style 6 “dot only”: only a square the size of the line thickness remains. 3 pros currently play with a dot: jL, NiKo, ScreaM — all dot codes.

Question 8

Why is the colour different after import?

Accepted Answer

Since the 30 Sep 2026 update a code stores the colour as RGB plus opacity, presets are gone — the crosshair will be exactly the colour of the preview. If it differs, you most likely used an old CSGO-… code: take the code from our page, it is already in the new format.

Question 9

How do I find my own crosshair code?

Accepted Answer

Settings → Game → Crosshair → Share or Import: the window shows the code of your current crosshair. You can also build it from console commands in our generator.

Question 10

How often are the codes updated?

Accepted Answer

After every parsed demo and every new code a player posts himself. The current code is the most frequent one over the last 30 days, or the latest if there were none. The date on a card is the match day or the day it was posted.

Question 11

Which crosshair should I use for AWP?

Accepted Answer

The AWPers in the database (s1mple, sh1ro, m0NESY, ZywOo) play the same small static cross as riflers: when scoped, the crosshair is replaced by the scope anyway. The scope line width is set by cl_crosshair_sniper_width. AWPer crosshairs.

Command	What it does
cl_crosshairstyle	style: 4 — static cross (what almost every pro uses), 0 — dynamic, 6 — dot only; 10 styles in total
cl_crosshair_length	arm length in pixels; pros usually use 2–5
cl_crosshair_thickness	arm thickness in pixels; pros use 1–2
cl_crosshair_gap	gap from the centre to the start of an arm in pixels, can be negative; pros use 1–3
cl_crosshair_screen_height	screen height the pixels are set for; the game rescales to your resolution
cl_crosshairdot	centre dot: 0 or 1
cl_crosshair_drawoutline	outline: 0 — none, 1 — full, 2 — half; colour — cl_crosshairoutline_r/_g/_b/_a
cl_crosshaircolor_r / _g / _b / _a	colour and opacity from 0 to 255; colour presets are gone
