cl_crosshair_length
Length of each crosshair line, in pixels. Sets how long each of the four crosshair lines is. Since the CS2 update of September 30, 2026, crosshair sizes are counted in real pixels for the screen height set in cl_crosshair_screen_height, so a value of 2 means 2 pixels on that screen. Most CS2 pros play with a short length between 1 and 4.
