    If you want to maintain a spot in Tier 1 Counter-Strike for over a decade, you might want to take a look at apEX’s mouse settings to see what helped him become such a consistent player throughout many years.
    • DPI
      400
    • Sensitivity
      1.91
    • Effective DPI (eDPI)
      764
    • Zoom Sensitivity
      1
    • Hz
      1000
    • Windows Sensitivity 
      6
    With a mouse DPI of 400 and an in-game sensitivity of 1.91, apEX’s total effective DPI value is 764. Overall, this falls under the average eDPI value when compared to other professional players in the scene, so keeping it simple might be the formula for apEX, at least.
  • crosshair
    apEX Crosshair Settings
    It’s worth noting that apEX is a true in-game leader, and most of his focus is on leading his team and making mid-round calls. Having to look at the map and refocus on his crosshair for an aim duel is not an easy task, so let’s see what crosshair he uses to focus on two things at once.
    • Style
      Classic Static
    • Follow Recoil
      No
    • Dot
      No
    • Length
      1.5
    • Thickness
      1
    • Gap
      -3
    • Outline
      No
    • Color
      Yellow
    • Sniper Width
      0
    ApEX is using a yellow-colored crosshair, which is definitely a color that can re-grab his attention when he’s looking at his teammates. Though the crosshair is pretty tiny, it has decent line thickness, allowing him to re-focus on his crosshair quickly and start shooting.

    If you’re looking to give apEX’s Counter-Strike crosshair a spin, feel free to import this crosshair code below into your game.

    Next, we’re going to take a quick look at apEX’s viewmodel. A good viewmodel is crucial for players to see the most out of their screen as possible.
    • FOV
      60
    • Offset X
      2
    • Offset Y
      2
    • Offset Z
      -2
    • Presetpos

    If you want to give apEX’s unique viewmodel a shot, you can copy and paste the following viewmodel commands to apply the changes immediately.

    viewmodel_fov 60; viewmodel_offset_x 2; viewmodel_offset_y 2; viewmodel_offset_z -2; viewmodel_presetpos 1;
  • apEX Resolution and Aspect Ratio
    The first group of video settings we’ll take a look at includes apEX’s resolution and aspect ratio, which are two of the most important video settings in the game. Let’s check it out.
    • Resolution
      1280x960
    • Aspect Ratio
      4:3
    • Scaling Mode
      Stretched
    • Brightness
      100%
    • Display Mode
      Fullscreen
    Like most professional players in the scene, apEX is running a 4:3 aspect ratio with the popular 1280×960 resolution, meaning he is playing on a stretched scaling mode. This pair of resolution and aspect ratio is commonly used by professional players, so there’s nothing too surprising about apEX using it too
  • apEX Advanced Video Settings
    Now, let’s get a brief overview of apEX’s advanced video settings. These settings aren’t too necessary to copy, but it never hurts to check out what apEX is using.
    • Boost Player Contrast
      Disabled
    • V-Sync
      Disabled
    • NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency
      Enabled
    • NVIDIA G-Sync
      Disabled
    • Maximum FPS In Game
      0
    • Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode
      2x MSAA
    • Global Shadow Quality
      High
    • Dynamic Shadows
      All
    • Model / Texture Detail
      Low
    • Texture Filtering Mode
      Anisotropic 16x
    • Shader Detail
      Low
    • Particle Detail
      Low
    • Ambient Occlusion
      Medium
    • High Dynamic Range
      Quality
    • FidelityFX Super Resolution
      Disabled (Highest Quality)
    We can conclude that apEX prefers performance over visuals, as playing on a stretched resolution automatically means your game will look less appealing anyway. As a result, apEX has toned down pretty much all of his video settings to the lowest options for maximum performance.
  • radar
    apEX Radar Settings
    Now, let’s get a brief overview of apEX’s advanced video settings. These settings aren’t too necessary to copy, but it never hurts to check out what apEX is using.
    • Radar Centers Player
      Yes
    • Radar is Rotating
      Yes
    • Toggle Shape With Scoreboard
      Yes
    • Radar HUD Size
      1
    • Radar Map Zoom
      0.7
    It is interesting that apEX uses a radar map zoom value of 0.7, meaning his map is very zoomed in. Normally, most in-game leaders play with zoomed out maps to get a look at the entire map, but it looks like apEX depends on opening the scoreboard for his square minimap.

    Finally, we’re going to take a look at the peripherals and gaming gear bLitz uses to play CS2.

    • Keyboard

    • Headset

    It seems like apEX is well-versed with his choices for gaming gear, as he is using a different brand for all his peripherals.
