İsmailcan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş is a professional Counter-Strike 2 player from Turkey, currently under Eternal Fire.

XANTARES Mouse Settings

XANTARES is all about his aim, so let’s figure out what mouse settings he uses to be able to shoot like that:
- DPI
  
  400
- Mouse Sensitivity
  
  2.3
- Effective DPI (eDPI)
  
  920
- Zoom Sensitivity
  
  1.1
- Hz
  
  1000
- Windows Sensitivity
  
  6
XANTARES uses the standard 400 DPI, but has chosen a mouse sensitivity of 2.3, adding up his eDPI to 920. For riflers in the professional scene, this eDPI is pretty high. However, XANTARES still makes it work somehow, so let’s not question it.
XANTARES Crosshair Settings

Another important component of XANTARES’ gameplay is his crosshair that allows him to shoot heads and delete opponents in a second:
- Style
  
  Classic Static
- Follow Recoil
  
  No
- Dot
  
  Yes
- Length
  
  3
- Thickness
  
  0.5
- Gap
  
  -3
- Outline
  
  No
- Color
  
  Yellow
- Sniper Width
  
  0
Overall, it’s safe to say that XANTARES is one of the older players in the game, which is why he is using an outdated crosshair from the early years of Counter-Strike. It is a large, green crosshair with a significant gap in the middle.

You can copy XANTARES’ crosshair immediately using the crosshair code below:

XANTARES Viewmodel Settiings

Next, we’re going to check out XANTARES’ viewmodel, as it also helps him see the game properly:
- FOV
  
  60
- Offset X:
  
  1
- Offset Y
  
  1
- Offset Z
  
  -1.
- Presetpos
  
  1
XANTARES has some really weird settings, as this FOV is not commonly used at all. He is using a low FOV value at 60, and his offset settings are unheard of. Try his viewmodel at your own risk!

You can copy XANTARES’ viewmodel using the viewmodel commands below:

XANTARES Viewmodel Config

viewmodel_fov 60; viewmodel_offset_x 1; viewmodel_offset_y 1; viewmodel_offset_z -1; viewmodel_presetpos 1;
XANTARES Video Settings

Now that we’ve gotten XANTARES’ game settings out of the way, let’s have a quick look at his video settings.
- Resolution
  
  1024x769
- Aspect Ratio
  
  4:3
- Scaling Mode
  
  Stretched
- Brightness
  
  100%
- Display Mode
  
  Fullscreen
Like most of his peers, XANTARES is using the 4:3 aspect ratio. However, he isn’t using the regular 1280×960 resolution, but is instead using 1024×768 meaning he has chosen to minimize the number of pixels on his screen.
XANTARES Advanced Video Settings

As for advanced video settings, you don’t necessarily have to copy these but you can always do so if you’re such a big fan of XANTARES:
- Boost Player Contrast
  
  Enabled
- v-Sync
  
  Disabled
- Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode
  
  4x MSAA
- Global Shadow Quality
  
  Low
- Model / Texture Detail
  
  Low
- Texture Filtering Mode
  
  Bilinear

  Low
- Ambient Occlusion
  
  Disabled
- High Dynamic Range
  
  Low
- FidelityFX Super Resolution
  
  Quality
- NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency
  
  Disabled (Highest Quality)
Generally, most of XANTARES’ video settings are set on the lowest option, as he prefers to choose in-game performance over visuals.
XANTARES Radar Settings

Up next, we have his radar settings. If you’ve wondered how XANTARES has such good game sense to go for peeks, it’s probably because he’s reading his radar minimap very well:
- Radar Centers Player
  
  Yes
- Radar is Rotating
  
  Yes
- Toggle Shape With Scoreboard
  
  No
- Radar HUD Size
  
  Yes
- Model / Texture Detail
