CS2 crosshair commands
Counter-Strike 2's crosshair is not an image file: it is a set of convars the client reads at the start of every match. cl_crosshairstyle alone accepts six values, 0 through 5, and changes the whole behavior of the reticle, from the static classic model to a dynamic one whose gap widens with movement. This tool assembles the ready cl_crosshair* command block to paste into console or save into a config file.
This is the tool's default configuration: style 4 with no center dot, outline on at thickness 1 and alpha 255, the most common combination in competitive play because it does not clutter the read on the target's center.
When cl_crosshaircolor receives 0 through 4, the generator skips any custom r/g/b and uses the built-in numbered preset directly; color 1 maps to the game's green preset at (0,255,0).
cl_crosshairdot adds a single center pixel regardless of the chosen style, and alpha 150 makes the crosshair semi-transparent; without cl_crosshairusealpha set to 1, that alpha value would be discarded by the engine.
Enable the console in Settings → Game → "Enable Developer Console" and pick a key to open it. Open the console, paste the copied command block and press Enter: the crosshair applies instantly, no restart needed. If it does not paste all at once, paste it in parts, each line is an independent command.
Because the value measures the distance from the four lines to the screen's exact center: a positive gap pushes the lines outward, zero touches them to the center, and a negative value like -2 overlaps them, shrinking the empty gap in the middle until it nearly disappears.
Style 0 is the legacy dynamic classic, which expands when firing or moving; style 4, labeled Classic Static in the game menu, keeps a fixed size regardless of movement, which is why most competitive players pick it for a constant visual reference.
Not by itself: commands typed into console only apply for the current session and are lost if the game closes without saving; to keep the crosshair across matches you need to write the block into a file like autoexec.cfg or run host_writeconfig after pasting.
Value 5 flags a custom color, but without cl_crosshaircolor_r, cl_crosshaircolor_g and cl_crosshaircolor_b set, the game falls back to whatever values were last saved to disk for those three convars, not a default white or black; that is why the generator always includes all three lines alongside the 5.
