1 makes the crosshair follow recoil, 0 keeps it centered.

What it does

When on, the crosshair moves with the recoil so it shows where your next bullets are going. When off, it stays fixed in the center of the screen. Some players find the moving crosshair helps them learn spray control.

Use it in your game

Type it in your own game console: turn on the developer console in the game's settings, then press the key under Esc. To keep it, put the line in game/csgo/cfg/autoexec.cfg.
