Niko CS2 Settings: Full Config & Crosshair
Nikola “NiKo” Kovač is a professional Bosnian Counter-Strike player currently playing for G2 Esports.
He is recognized as one of the greatest aimers in the game, with an unnatural headshot rate. Community members consider NiKo to be the best player who has never won a Major, an achievement he has yet to achieve in his Counter-Strike career. Being the most talented Desert Eagle player in the game, it is only natural that fans would like to give his in-game settings a spin to see if it translates to any results.

Though he has an arsenal of mice at home that he could switch to any time, TenZ is currently using the Ninjutso Sora v2 mouse, a very uncommon choice. Here are his mouse settings:
-
DPI400
-
Sensitivity1.5
-
Effective DPI (eDPI)600
-
Zoom Sensitivity1
-
Hz4000
-
Windows Sensitivity6
NiKo uses an astonishingly low effective DPI of 600, which is one of the lowest values in the entire professional scene. It will be very difficult for new players to adjust to such settings. Still, it makes total sense, as NiKo heavily relies on precision to hit incredible headshots. That’s why other top-tier aimers use low mouse sensitivity as well. -

TenZ is also often seen changing crosshairs frequently, but uses a standard crosshair right now:
-
StyleClassic Static
-
Follow RecoilNo
-
DotNo
-
Length2
-
Thickness1
-
Gap-4
-
OutlineNo
-
ColorGreen
-
Sniper Width0
NiKo is using a small, green-colored crosshair, which at this point is an industry standard. However, an interesting difference is he uses a crosshair gap of -4, which essentially means there is no gap in his crosshair at all.
If you’re looking to try NiKo’s crosshair for yourself, copy and import his crosshair code in the in-game crosshair settings:

Overall, NiKo uses a normal viewmodel with a field of view value of 68, which is the highest. This means your weapon appears further than normal, taking up less of your screen. Most professionals are using the same settings, so it’s nothing out of the ordinary.

To try TenZ’s custom viewmodel, copy and paste the following commands into your in-game console.View Model Configviewmodel_fov 68; viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y 0; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5; viewmodel_presetpos 2; -

In this section of the article, we’ll cover the video settings NiKo uses to optimize his game.
-
Resolution1680×1050
-
Aspect Ratio16:10
-
Scaling ModeStretched
-
Brightness95%
-
Display ModeFullscreen
The 27-year-old is one of the few players who uses an in-game aspect ratio of 16:10, resulting in a resolution of 1680×1050, which only a small percentage of professionals use. Still, resolution and aspect ratio settings completely come down to personal preference. -

NiKo uses a relatively normal radar, always centering his player and rotating around him. However, his radar map zoom is quite low, so the radar appears very zoomed out. -
