• Boost Player Contrastchanges what you seeMenu only — no console variable · Disabled / EnabledValve: “Improves the legibility of players in low contrast situations. Enabling Boost Player Contrast can degrade graphics performance.”
• Brightnesschanges what you seeConsole: r_fullscreen_gammaValve: “Change the gamma correction of in-game rendering, adjusting overall brightness.”
• Resolution / Aspect ratiochanges what you seeMenu only — no console variableValve: “Normal 4:3 / Widescreen 16:9”
• Global Shadow Qualityguides disagreeMenu only — no console variable · Low / Medium / High / Very HighValve: “Global Shadow Quality”CSDB says Medium–High; ProSettings and GGRecon say Low.
• Dynamic Shadowschanges what you seeMenu only — no console variable · Sun Only / AllValve: “Select the light sources for which dynamic objects such as players and smoke cast shadows. "Sun Only" can improve graphics performance but might leave you at a competitive disadvantage, particularly indoors.”ProSettings 'All' vs CSDB 'Sun Only'; Valve's own tooltip warns Sun Only may be a competitive disadvantage. GGRecon (2024-04-24) predates the setting.
• Particle Detailchanges what you seeMenu only — no console variableValve: “Particle detail controls the complexity of particle effects and whether particles cast shadows. Higher settings increase visual quality but can degrade graphics performance.”
• Model / Texture Detailguides disagreeMenu only — no console variable · Low / Medium / HighValve: “The model / texture detail setting controls the resolution of textures and geometric complexity of models in the game. Decreasing this setting may improve performance on low-end systems, but will degrade image quality.”Low vs Medium vs High across three guides.
• High Dynamic Rangeguides disagreeMenu only — no console variable · Performance / QualityValve: “High Dynamic Range (HDR) controls the range of brightness between the brighest and darkest pixels. Choosing Performance decreases the quality of HDR rendering but potentially increases performance and reduces GPU memory use.”
• FidelityFX Super Resolutionchanges what you seeMenu only — no console variableValve: “FidelityFX Super Resolution may improve performance by rendering at reduced resolution and upscaling using a high-quality spatial technique.”
• Anti-aliasing (MSAA / CMAA2)minorMenu only — no console variableValve: “Anti-aliasing provides a smooth appearance at the edges of geometry, eliminating jagged edges. Increasing anti-aliasing quality can degrade graphics performance.”r_csgo_cmaa_enable exists in the dump but is 'developmentonly' (not usable in retail)
• Shader Detail / Ambient Occlusion / Texture FilteringcosmeticMenu only — no console variableValve: “Calculate lighting using Ambient Occlusion. Enabling Ambient Occlusion can degrade graphics performance.”

1. 2 Oct 2026 · Counter-Strike 2 Update“Fixed grenade crosshair rendering when crosshair thickness is set to 3 pixels. · Updated workshop convars whitelist with the new crosshair settings.”
2. 30 Sept 2026 · Counter-Strike 2 Update“Added crosshair outline color option. · Added a new style "Static Quadrant".”
3. 23 Sept 2026 · Counter-Strike 2 Update“Some additional information about the new crosshair system:. · The new crosshair thickness and length units are in pixels. In the past, the values were defined with an arbitrary scale and converted to pixels based on display resolution so the same value would result in different pixel counts at different resolutions. With the new settings, if you want a 1-pixel wide crosshair with a bar length of 8 pixels and a gap of 4 pixels, then you would set: thickness = 1, length = 8, and gap = 4.”
4. 22 Sept 2026 · Counter-Strike 2 Update“Crosshairs have been updated to be resolution independent. · A new "Crosshair/Scopes" tab is available in the Settings menu, and includes updated crosshair settings.”
5. 22 Sept 2026 · Rush Hour“But wait, there's more! Crosshairs have gotten a significant upgrade with new shapes and other features, so check out the new Crosshair/Scopes settings and create the custom crosshair of your dreams. Also, Clan Tags are back! Select one of your Steam Groups in your player profile and you'll see your clan tag appear next to your name wherever you play.”
6. 22 Jan 2025 · Counter-Strike 2 Update“Follow recoil setting during spectating will now obey spectator target's crosshair setting if target's crosshair is shown.”
7. 24 Mar 2023 · What is Follow Recoil in Counter-Strike 2? New setting explained — Dexerto (secondary, not Valve)“Counter-Strike 2 was stealthily added a new crosshair feature to the game, Follow Recoil.”
8. 25 Feb 2020 · Patch Notes“Choose Your Own Crosshair. · Customizing your crosshair has never been easier. Head over to the settings menu, where you’ll find a variety of crosshair settings that can be tuned to your personal taste. You can share your crosshair code with others or import a code to try someone else’s.”
