How to change crosshair size in CS2

Type cl_crosshairsize 2 in your game console for short lines; lower numbers make the crosshair smaller and decimals like 1.5 work.

cl_crosshairsize

Sets the length of each crosshair line; smaller numbers give a shorter, tighter crosshair.

cl_crosshairsize <size>

Examples

cl_crosshairsize 2

Short lines, a common competitive size.

cl_crosshairsize 1.5

Very small crosshair.

Arguments

sizeRequired
Line length. Decimals are allowed.

What it does

Controls how long the four crosshair lines are. Most competitive players use small values between about 1 and 3 so the crosshair covers as little of the target as possible. Decimal values work and are common in shared crosshair settings.

Good to know

  • 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.
