f0rest CS2 Settings: Full Config, Crosshair & Peripherals

Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg is a professional Counter-Strike player from Sweden. Though he is currently inactive, f0rest was most known for his time playing under the legendary Ninjas in Pyjamas roster with other storied names such as GeT_RiGhT and friberg. Many fans consider him one of the greatest players of all time. He hasn’t played professionally in a while, but you can still try out his CS2 settings that made him such a good player.

f0rest Mouse Settings

Being one of the early GOATs of Counter-Strike, it is only natural that fans might want to copy f0rest’s mouse settings to play as well as him. Here are all the mouse settings you need to know.

Mouse Settings Value
DPI 400
Sensitivity 3.50
Effective DPI (eDPI) 1400
Zoom Sensitivity 1.00
Hz 1000
Windows Sensitivity  6

F0rest is using a mouse DPI value of 400, but has decided to run a 3.50 in-game sensitivity, totaling his effective DPI value to 1400. Simply put, this eDPI value is extremely high when compared to other professional players. Normally, AWPers might play with this eDPI, but it is definitely rare to see riflers running this.

f0rest Crosshair Settings

The younger Counter-Strike fans might now know, but f0rest used to be one of the sharpest aimers in the early years of the game when he was at his peak. Let’s see what crosshair he uses nowadays.

Crosshair Setting Value
Style Classic Static
Follow Recoil No
Dot No
Length 1
Thickness 0
Gap -5
Outline No
Color Green
Sniper Width 0

Overall, f0rest is using a very tiny crosshair, which is recommended for players who want a high headshot percentage. He has chosen green as his color of choice. The length of the crosshair is only set to 1, making it much smaller than an average crosshair.

f0rest Video Settings

Now, we’re going to take a look at f0rest’s video settings so you can see exactly what he sees on your screen.

f0rest Resolution and Aspect Ratio

The first group of video settings will feature f0rest’s resolution and aspect ratio, which are two of the most important settings in this category.

Video Setting Value
Resolution 1920×1080
Aspect Ratio 16:9
Scaling Mode Native
Brightness 80%
Display Mode Fullscreen

F0rest has actually decided to use the 1920×1080 resolution, meaning he is playing on native 16:9. This is the default aspect ratio and resolution, but most professional players do not prefer using it. However, it works out for f0rest, so default players can rejoice.

f0rest Advanced Video Settings

Advanced video settings aren’t too important to copy, but it never hurts to check out what f0rest is running.

Video Setting Value
Boost Player Contrast Enabled
V-Sync Disabled
NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency Enabled
NVIDIA G-Sync Unknown
Maximum FPS In Game 400
Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode 8x MSAA
Global Shadow Quality High
Dynamic Shadows Unknown
Model / Texture Detail Medium
Texture Filtering Mode Bilinear
Shader Detail Low
Particle Detail Low
Ambient Occlusion Disabled
High Dynamic Range Performance
FidelityFX Super Resolution Disabled (Highest Quality)

Overall, f0rest has pretty mixed video settings, but it is safe to say he is on the lower side of Counter-Strike graphics. Professional players don’t mess around. They don’t need amazing visuals and choose the highest performance instead.

f0rest Radar Settings

One of the reasons why f0rest was such a great player is because of his situational awareness. This awareness can be credited to his radar settings, which allow him to read the map well.

Radar Setting Value
Radar Centers Player Yes
Radar is Rotating Yes
Toggle Shape With Scoreboard Yes
Radar HUD Size 1
Radar Map Zoom 0.5

Overall, f0rest has pretty standard radar settings, but we would like to point out his radar map zoom, which is set at 0.5. He has found a great balance in his minimap zoom, allowing him to see close proximities in decent detail, but also see a larger scale of the map.
