FaZe Rain CS2 Settings: Full Config, Crosshair & Peripherals

Håvard "Rain" Nygaard is a key player of professional organization FaZe Clan and also its longest-standing member Not to be confused by the content creator bearing the same gamertag, Rain is one of the most well-known and loved Counter-Strike players in the world by fans of FaZe and even those that support their rivals. Below is an in-depth overview of his mouse, video, and crosshair settings, along with the peripherals he currently uses.

Mouse Settings

Rain’s mouse configuration reflects his preference for precision and control—essential qualities for a rifler. His setup is moderate, emphasizing stability without overcomplicating things.

  • DPI: 400
  • In-game Sensitivity: 1.65
  • eDPI: 660
  • Zoom Sensitivity: 0.80
  • Polling Rate: 1000 Hz
  • Windows Sensitivity: 6/11

This setup ensures consistent control while aiming, especially with rifles. The combination of a relatively low eDPI (660) and no mouse acceleration allows him to maintain precise crosshair placement in every situation

Crosshair Settings

Rain’s crosshair is simple and effective, offering a balance between visibility and minimal screen distraction.

  • Style: Static
  • Color: Green (R: 0, G: 255, B: 0)
  • Gap: -3
  • Thickness: 1
  • Outline: Off
  • Dot: No
  • Crosshair Code: CSGO-2NDoX-5BzOR-yOp98-6hBVi-bueKP

The green crosshair stands out against most backgrounds, which is particularly useful in fast-paced environments where split-second adjustments make all the difference

Video Settings

Rain’s video settings prioritize performance over visual fidelity, with the goal of maximizing frame rates. He also uses a stretched resolution, which is favored by many professionals for its impact on enemy models, making them appear larger horizontally.

  • Resolution: 1280×800 (16:10 aspect ratio, stretched)
  • Brightness: 125%
  • Display Mode: Fullscreen
  • Anti-Aliasing: 4x MSAA
  • Texture Filtering Mode: Anisotropic 8x
  • Shadow Quality: High
  • Model/Texture Detail: Low
  • Motion Blur: Disabled
  • V-Sync: Disabled

Rain’s preference for a 16:10 resolution is not typical, but it aligns with his individual playstyle, allowing him to focus on movement and positioning rather than high graphical quality. Rain’s viewmodel is slightly adjusted to reduce the weapon’s impact on screen visibility. This aids him in staying aware of his surroundings without unnecessary distractions.

  • FOV: 64
  • Offset X/Y/Z: 2.5 / 0 / -1.5

The low FOV helps him focus more directly on crosshair alignment, while subtle changes to weapon offsets optimize visibility in critical moments

Peripherals and Hardware

Rain uses a combination of high-end peripherals and hardware to ensure seamless gameplay.

  • Mouse: Razer Viper V2 Pro
  • Mousepad: VAXEE PA Black
  • Keyboard: Razer BlackWidow V3 TKL
  • Monitor: BenQ XL2566K (360 Hz)
  • Headset: SteelSeries Arctis Pro
  • CPU: Intel Core i9-12900K
  • GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080
  • RAM: G.Skill RipJaws V 16GB, 3600 MHz

The 360 Hz monitor ensures minimal input lag and maximum responsiveness, which is essential in fast-paced situations. Rain’s use of a lightweight mouse like the Razer Viper V2 Pro, combined with a smooth mousepad, allows for fast flicks and tracking, essential for a rifler’s playstyle
