XELLOW CS2 Settings: Full Config, Crosshair & Peripherals

Adrian “XELLOW” Guță is a professional player from Romania, currently playing under Nexus Gaming as a primary AWPer. Before joining Nexus, XELLOW has played for several other teams such as ECSTATIC and Sprout, but unfortunately hasn’t had his big break in Tier 1 Counter-Strike yet. Still, he is a solid AWPer and you might learn a thing or two from his CS2 settings and peripherals.

XELLOW Mouse Settings

We must remember that XELLOW is primarily an AWPer, and snipers must have good mouse settings that enable them to hit those flicks:
- DPI
  
  400
- Mouse Sensitivity
  
  2
- Effective DPI (eDPI)
  
  800
- Zoom Sensitivity
  
  1
- Hz
  
  2000
- Windows Sensitivity
  
  6
XELLOW is using a mouse DPI value of 400, but has chosen to increase it with a mouse sensitivity of 2. This puts his effective DPI at a nice and clean 800, which falls around the average of Counter-Strike pros. These are the same settings as other AWPers such as ZywOo and device.
XELLOW Crosshair Settings

Though XELLOW is an AWPer, he must still pick up the rifle or pistol from time to time, so having a good crosshair is essential to keep up with the best:
- Style
  
  Classic Static
- Follow Recoil
  
  No
- Dot
  
  No
- Length
  
  3
- Thickness
  
  1
- Gap

- Alpha Value
  
  200
- T Style
  
  No
- Deployed Weapon Gap
  
  No
- Sniper Width
  
  0
XELLOW is using a very large crosshair with a crosshair length value of 3, which is way bigger than what an average professional player uses. However, he has shrunk his crosshair with a crosshair thickness of 1 and gap of -3. He has also chosen green as his crosshair color of choice.

If you want to try out the large crosshair that XELLOW is using, make sure to import this crosshair code below:

XELLOW Viewmodel Settings

Now, we’re going to check out what viewmodel settings XELLOW is using. The viewmodel is important for AWPers since the weapon takes up so much space on your screen:
- Field of View (FOV)
  
  68
- Offset X
  
  2.5
- Offset Y
  
  0
- Offset Z
  
  -1.5
- Presetpos
  
  2
XELLOW is using the most popular viewmodel settings used by pros, as he is using an FOV value of 68. This is the highest FOV value possible. Additionally, he is using the most commonly-used viewmodel offset settings, which have been displayed above.

You can copy XELLOW’s viewmodel immediately by using the console commands below:

Viewmodel Config (Copy and Paste)

viewmodel_fov 68; viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y 0; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5; viewmodel_presetpos 2;
XELLOW Video Settings

The first set of video settings we’ll take a look at includes XELLOW’s resolution and aspect ratio.
- Resolution
  
  1280×960
- Aspect Ratio
  
  4:3
- Scaling Mode
  
  Stretched
- Brightness
  
  100%
- Display Mode
  
  Fullscreen
Like many professional players, XELLOW is using the popular 1280×960 resolution which has been paired up with an aspect ratio of 4:3. These settings imply that he is playing on a stretched scaling mode, which is very popular among AWPers since player bodies appear fatter and easier to hit.
Advanced Video Settings

Here are XELLOW’s advanced video settings in case you’d like to copy them as well.
- Enable Player Contrast
  
  Enabled
- V-Sync
  
  Disabled
- NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency
  
  Unknown
- NVIDIA G-Sync
  
  Unknown
- Maximum FPS In Game

- FidelityFX Super Resolution
  
  Unknown
Unfortunately, XELLOW has not revealed too many of his advanced video settings, but we can assume from what we have that he chooses to play Counter-Strike on lower video settings. This is likely because he is prioritizing performance over graphics, which is much more important when you’re competing professionally.
