To change your crosshair to a dot, there are 3 commands required. The first is cl_crosshairstyle, which sets the style (shape) of your crosshair, the second is cl_crosshairdot, which enables the dot in the middle of your crosshair. And finally cl_crosshairsize, which changes the size of the outer lines of your crosshair. We've compiled the settings you need to set with these commands into a single easily copyable command. Simply copy and paste the below into your console to set your crosshair to a dot:
cl_crosshairstyle 4; cl_crosshairdot 1; cl_crosshairsize 0; Copy
To change the size of the dot, use cl_crosshairthickness. This command would make your dot very small:
cl_crosshairthickness 0.5 Copy
And this command would make your dot very big:
cl_crosshairthickness 4 Copy
Adjust the number at the end of the cl_crosshairthickness command until you get the size of dot that you want.
There are two styles of crosshair in CS:GO that are static: crosshair style 1 and crosshair style 4. Your crosshair style can be set via the main menu or with the cl_crosshairstyle command.
Crosshair style 1 is the static version of the default CS:GO crosshair. To set the default static crosshair, use the following command:
cl_crosshairstyle 1 Copy
To set the classic static crosshair (a simple, usually green crosshair), use the following command:
cl_crosshairstyle 4 Copy
There are four different static crosshair styles in CS:GO. To switch to style 0, default dynamic crosshair, use this command:
cl_crosshairstyle 0 Copy
To switch to other dynamic crosshair styles, use the following commands:
cl_crosshairstyle 2 Copy
cl_crosshairstyle 3 Copy
cl_crosshairstyle 5 Copy
Crosshair size in CS:GO is, unsurprisingly, controlled by the cl_crosshairsize command. This command is relatively simple to use. This would set your crosshair size to the default size (for classic crosshair style):
cl_crosshairsize 5 Copy
To change your crosshair size to something other than the default, simply replace NUMBER with your desired crosshair size in the below command. Most players will have a size between 2 and 10. A larger number at the end will make your crosshair bigger, a smaller number at the end will make your crosshair smaller.
cl_crosshairsize NUMBER Copy
You can change the thickness of your crosshair in CS:GO with the cl_crosshairthickness command. Like the cl_crosshairsize command, this command takes a number at the end that changes how thick your crosshair is. The default setting for crosshair thickness is 1, to set your thickness to default, use this command:
cl_crosshairthickness 1 Copy
To change your crosshair's thickness to something other than the default value, replace NUMBER in the below example to your desired thickness. A higher number will make your crosshair more thick. You can specify decimal thickness (e.g. 0.5).
cl_crosshairthickness NUMBER Copy
To hide/disable your crosshair in CS:GO, use the following command:
crosshair 0 Copy
If you've hidden your crosshair, you can enable/show it by typing the following command into your console:
crosshair 1 Copy
