Crosshair

Screen height the crosshair sizes are designed for. New in the CS2 update of September 30, 2026. Crosshair length, thickness and gap are now counted in pixels for this screen height. If you play at a different resolution, CS2 scales the crosshair so it keeps the same size relative to your screen. It is saved in every CS2 crosshair share code, which is why a pro's crosshair looks right on your screen too.
