DARE is a professional CS2 rifler currently playing for Elevate from United States. DARE plays with a high sensitivity setup at 1080 eDPI (800 DPI × 1.35 sens), which is above the pro average of 846. DARE uses 1280x960 resolution (4:3 Stretched) on a ZOWIE XL2546K, paired with a Razer Viper V3 Pro White. Over their last 610 tracked maps, DARE holds a 1.15 HLTV rating.

Derek "DARE" Brown is a American rifler currently playing for Elevate. He plays at 1280x960 with an eDPI of 1080 on a Razer Viper V3 Pro White.

DARE's eDPI of 1080 (800 DPI × 1.35 sensitivity) sits at the 88th percentile of the 1007 pros we track, among the fastest in pro play — a wrist-led style that trades stability for reaction speed. The pro median is 800 eDPI, so before copying these numbers wholesale, translate the feel to your own setup with the eDPI calculator rather than matching DPI and sensitivity digit-for-digit.

Like 57% of the pros in our database, DARE plays 1280x960 stretched — the classic 4:3 choice that makes character models appear wider at the cost of horizontal field of view. Stretched players tend to value target width for spray control over the extra edge-of-screen information native 16:9 gives.

The crosshair (size 1) is exactly the pro median size, in cyan. Copy it one-click with the share code above, or load it into the crosshair generator to resize it for your own resolution — a crosshair tuned for 1280x960 can feel different at another.

On gear, the Razer Viper V3 Pro White is a proven pro choice — 38 other players in our database use the same mouse, and the ZOWIE XL2546K monitor pairing is a staple of tier-one setups. Full peripherals, with every pro using each item, are listed below.

Compare these settings with the rest of the CS2 pro player database, convert the sensitivity to your own DPI with the sensitivity converter, copy the crosshair from the pro crosshair codes list, or look up the hardware in the gear database.
