He is widely known as one of the best aimers in the game, and the inventor of the “XANTARES PEEK” that is feared by professionals around the world. If you want to perform in FACEIT pugs like XANTARES does, try copying his settings and peripherals!

  • Shroud Mouse Settings
    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.
  • crosshair
    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    Overall, it’s safe to say that XANTARES is one of the older players in the game, which is why he is using an outdated crosshair from the early years of Counter-Strike.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
    • Shader Detail
      Low
    • Particle Detail
      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.
  • radar
    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
      1
    • Radar Map Zoom
      0.7
  • XANTARES Launch Options
    XANTARES is a user of launch options, which isn’t too crazy as most professionals make use of them:

    Launch options are quite useful for advanced players like XANTARES
    Launch Options
    -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd -noforcemparms -freq 360 -novid -console -tickrate 128 -d3d9ex
