flameZ CS2 Settings: Full Config, Crosshair & Peripherals

Shahar "flameZ" Shushan is a professional Counter-Strike 2 player from Israel, currently under Team Vitality. The rifler started his career playing for OG Esports until his potential was recognized and he was transferred to Team Vitality. He is now one of the best riflers in the world, so let’s check out how he does it with his settings and gear!

flameZ CSGO Settings

First things first, let’s go through an overview of his CS2 settings.

Mouse Settings

Riflers are required to have immense precision and accuracy, so it is important for them to have a comfortable set of mouse settings. Here’s what flameZ is rocking:

  • DPI: 400
  • Mouse Sensitivity: 3
  • Effective DPI (eDPI): 1200
  • Zoom Sensitivity: 1.10
  • Hz: 1000
  • Windows Sensitivity: 6

With a mouse DPI of 400 and a sensitivity of 3, flameZ has a very high eDPI value of 1200. Most of the time, riflers play with low sensitivity to have stable aim, but clearly flameZ does not follow that trend. However, he’s still fragging out, so it works!

Crosshair Settings

Another crucial setting for riflers is the crosshair. To hit those crisp headshots and control spray patterns, you might want to try copying what flameZ is using:

  • Style: Legacy
  • Follow Recoil: No
  • Dot: Yes
  • Length: 1.5
  • Thickness: 0.5
  • Gap: -2
  • Outline: No
  • Color: Cyan
  • Red: 50
  • Green: 250
  • Blue: 154
  • Alpha: Yes
  • Alpha Value: 255
  • T Style: No
  • Deployed Weapon Gap: No
  • Sniper Width: 0

flameZ is using a cyan crosshair with short and thin lines, which is very common for young professional Counter-Strike players. However, the most interesting part is that he uses a crosshair dot, which most professionals avoid. 

You can copy flameZ’s crosshair settings immediately by using the crosshair code below:

Viewmodel Settings

Up next, we’ll talk about flameZ’s viewmodel settings. The viewmodel is important to seeing the game properly and not having your weapon and hand obstruct your vision:

  • Field of View (FOV): 68
  • Offset X: 2.5
  • Offset Y: 0
  • Offset Z: -1.5
  • Presetpos: 2

Overall, flameZ is using the very standard viewmodel with a maximum FOV value and the following offset adjustments. This viewmodel is used by the majority of professional players, so you can try it out safely.

You can copyp flameZ’s viewmodel immediately by using the viewmodel 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;

Video Settings

Now that we’ve gotten flameZ’s game settings out of the way, let’s carry on to his video settings. 

Video

The first set of video settings will cover the resolution and aspect ratio, which are the two most important settings in this category.

  • Resolution: 1280×960
  • Aspect Ratio: 4:3
  • Scaling Mode: Stretched
  • Brightness: 119%
  • Display Mode: Fullscreen

Following the majority of professional players, flameZ is using a 1280×960 resolution, meaning he is on the 4:3 aspect ratio and the stretched scaling mode. However, we would like to point out that he is using a brightness value of 119%, which is incredibly high. 

Advanced Video

Aside from the video settings above, you can go to the next level of fanboying by copying flameZ’s advanced video settings:

  • Enable Player Contrast: Enabled
  • V-Sync: Disabled
  • NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: Enabled
  • NVIDIA G-Sync: Disabled
  • Maximum FPS In Game: 0
  • Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode: 8x MSAA
  • Global Shadow Quality: High
  • Dynamic Shadows: All
  • Model / Texture Detail: Low
  • Texture Filtering Mode: Bilinear
  • Shader Detail: Low
  • Particle Detail: Low
  • Ambient Occlusion: Medium
  • High Dynamic Range: Quality
  • FidelityFX Super Resolution: Disabled (Highest Quality)

It looks like flameZ is mostly playing on lowest settings to get the highest performance and FPS possible. When you’re competing against the best, going for frames instead of visuals is definitely the correct call. 

Other Settings

We can dig even further and go through some of flameZ’s other settings.

HUD Settings

The HUD is an important tool that gives you information on your health bar and bullet count. Make sure you have a good HUD by copying what flameZ has: 

  • HUD Scale: 0.85
  • HUD Color: Bright White

Radar Settings

The next set of options we’ll go through is the radar settings. flameZ has very good game sense and awareness, which is probably due to his radar settings: 

  • Radar Centers The Player: Yes
  • Radar Is Rotating: Yes
  • Toggle Shape With Scoreboard: Yes
  • Radar HUD Size: 0.8
  • Radar Map Zoom: 1.00

flameZ CSGO Peripherals

Finally, we’ll quickly go through the peripherals and flameZ uses that allow him to lift trophies. 

Gaming Gear

flameZ picks out his gaming gear very carefully, as he is using a variety of different brands and a very underrated mouse manufacturer. 

  • Monitor: ASUS ROG XG258Q
  • Mouse: Vaxee OUTSET AX Yellow
  • Keyboard: Xtrfy K5 Compact RGB Black
  • Headset: Logitech G Pro X Headset
  • Mousepad: Xtrfy GP4

PC Specs

You might also want to consider matching the PC specs flameZ uses to match his Counter-Strike experience, but these pieces can be quite costly:

  • Processor: Intel Core i9-10900K
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
