How to move your gun forward or back in CS2

Type viewmodel_offset_y 2 in your game console to push your weapon further away; lower values bring it closer.

viewmodel_offset_y

Moves your weapon model along the Y axis (forward and back).

viewmodel_offset_y <value>

Examples

viewmodel_offset_y 2

Common setting for a less intrusive weapon.

viewmodel_fov 68; viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y 0; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5

A popular full viewmodel setup.

Arguments

valueRequired: Offset between -2 and 2.

What it does

Shifts the weapon model forward and back; higher values push the gun away from you. Combine it with the other offsets and viewmodel_fov to get the gun out of your line of sight. The game limits each offset to a small range.

The game's own description: viewmodel_offset_y

Good to know

Changing viewmodel_presetpos overwrites the offsets.

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.
