Shroud CS2 Settings: Full Config & Crosshair

Michael “shroud” Grzesiek was formerly known as one of the greatest North American Counter-Strike players in the world, and he is now a jack of all trades in the gaming world. He has become an incredibly successful streamer and plays various shooter games. Though he does not play Counter-Strike as much as he used to, it never hurts to see what settings he uses to play. Here is everything you need to know about shroud’s CS2 settings.

shroud Mouse Settings

Being the influential person that he is, shroud is using his custom-made mouse, the Logitech G303 Shroud Edition. Here are the settings he is using alongside his mouse:

The Canadian streamer is using a DPI value of 800 and a mouse sensitivity of 1.2, totaling an effective DPI of 960. This falls close into the median of professional player sensitivity settings, so there’s nothing too crazy about it. 

shroud Crosshair Settings

Shroud hasn’t been too active in the Counter-Strike scene for a while, so he is using a relatively outdated crosshair. Still, it works and you may want to try it out:

He uses a crosshair with 1.5 thickness, making the crosshair quite bulky. These thickness levels were prominent in the early days of Counter-Strike, which was when shroud peaked. The crosshair is also quite large with a length of 5.
