What it does

Chooses one of the built-in crosshair colors. Set it to 5 to use a custom color made from cl_crosshaircolor_r, cl_crosshaircolor_g and cl_crosshaircolor_b. Cyan, green and yellow stay visible on most maps.

The game's own description: Set crosshair color as defined in game_options.consoles.txt

Good to know

  • The RGB settings only take effect while this is 5.
  • Add the line to autoexec.cfg in game/csgo/cfg if you want to keep a written copy of your crosshair.

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.
