Though he is turning older, rain is still known to be an extremely reliable rifler, so taking a look at his mouse settings might help you become the “big game” player rain is.

rain is using a mouse DPI of 400 and an in-game sensitivity of 1.8, totaling his effective DPI to 720. Overall, this falls around the average eDPI for professional players in the scene. Since he is a rifler, he prefers this DPI for a stable and consistent aim.
rain Crosshair Settings

Another thing you should consider copying if rain is your idol is his crosshair, which allows him to do what he does best – hit those headshots in high-pressure situations. Here are the crosshair settings he uses.

Rain is using a pretty standard crosshair when compared to other professional player crosshairs. He is using a tiny, green crosshair with thin lines and thickness, allowing him to be as accurate as possible.

If you want to give rain’s crosshair a spin, copy and paste his crosshair code into your game.

The first group of video settings we’ll cover includes rain’s resolution and aspect ratio, which are two of the most crucial settings in this category.

- Aspect Ratio
  
  4:3
- Scaling Mode
  
  Stretched

  91%
- Display Mode
  
  Fullscreen
Rain continues using non-standard settings, as he is playing on a 16:10 aspect ratio and a 1280×800 resolution. This is very rare, but at least he is following the majority of players and using a stretched scaling mode.
