Richard “Shox” Papillon is one of the most beloved and iconic French Counter-Strike players of all time. A leading force in the French Revolution of CS:GO, he remains a top figure in the community even after retirement. Here is a detailed breakdown of his latest settings and equipment.

The yellow color offers high visibility against various CS2 environments, allowing shox to react quickly to enemies, while the absence of an outline keeps his focus sharp.

These settings provide a perfect balance between high visibility and smooth performance, which is key to identifying enemies and reacting swiftly in clutch moments. Shox keeps his graphical quality at an average level, sacrificing a bit for a few more frames per second.
