Starter pro crosshairs for CS2

Last updated: August 8, 2026

A good starter crosshair is small enough to see heads, high contrast on most maps, and boring enough that you stop thinking about it. The picks below are match-verified codes from players people already copy. Use them as a first import, not as a ranked best list.

How to choose

Match the pick to how you actually play for a week, not to whoever won the last major highlight. Riflers usually want a static crosshair that stays put while spraying. AWPers can go a little cleaner and still keep the same import habit.

After you copy a code, only change color or gap at first. If you rewrite length, style, and outline on day one, you never learn whether the pro baseline was fine.

What to do after you import

Play deathmatch until the crosshair stops feeling new. If targets disappear inside the gap, tighten it. If the color dies on Dust II or Mirage, switch color before you abandon the whole code.

Want to tweak visually first? Load the same code in the generator, adjust, then copy your own string back into CS2. When a pro changes setup after an event, their profile history shows what moved.

  1. 1Copy one code from the picks above.
  2. 2Import it in CS2 under Settings, Game, Crosshair, Share or Import.
  3. 3Play a real session before major edits.
  4. 4Nudge color or gap only if something clearly fails.
