Counter Strike 2 is one of the most popular online shooters ever released, with millions of players competing against each other online. One of the best features of the game is how much it allows every individual player to modify their client, allowing each gamer to personalize their game to their own liking.
By using CS2 console commands, gamers can change virtually any aspect of the game. You can not only buy and sell CS2 skins to other players to create your own, personalized loadout, but you can also create the perfect settings, made just for you.
You can change any kind of settings just by using a console command, and knowing these advanced techniques to customize your settings is just what you might need to elevate your CS2 gameplay. Today, we’ll be looking at the best viewmodel settings in CS2 available today!
What Are CS2 Viewmodel Settings?
In short, your CS2 viewmodel is the pair of hands holding the gun in front of your face in first person mode. While most gamers play with the default viewmodel settings, you can in fact place the player’s weapon practically anywhere on the screen.
While changing the position of your view model has no actual impact on the gameplay itself (you new viewmodel settings will only be visible to you), different settings for your camera’s field of view can make it easier to aim with your weapons.
How to change Viewmodel Settings in CS2?
In order to change your viewmodel settings, you’ll first need to enable developer console in the game. Once you have the console enabled, create a custom private match and load into the game. This is so that you have a safe place to try different viewmodel commands, without interrupting the game for other players.
As we have already mentioned, CS2 players have quite a lot of freedom regarding their viewmodel console commands. There are four main console commands, which control where your viewmodel is on the screen:
- “viewmodel_fov xx“, a value between 54 and 68, determines your field of vision (60 is the default fov).
- Typing “viewmodel_offset_x X”, a value between -2.5 and 2.5, determines the horizontal position of your weapon.
- Next, “viewmodel_offset_y Y”, a value between -2 and 2, determines how close your weapon is to the screen.
- Finally, “viewmodel_offset_z Z”, a value between -2 and 2, determines the vertical position of your gun
As you can see, you have many commands to choose from when trying to create your desired CS2 fov. Go into a custom match, and try out different viewmodel adjustments to see which camera fov and viewmodel position suits you the best.
What Are The Best CS2 Viewmodel Commands?
The best viewmodel commands are really a matter of personal preference to each player. You can change fov in the game in almost any manner that you want, however, there are some settings, which are just slightly more optimal than others.
If you want to switch up your game, but can’t make up your mind, here are some of the most optimal CS2 viewmodel commands, that should easily line up your gun barrel with your CS2 crosshair. Simply use the following command combination:
- Field of Vision – viewmodel_fov 68
- Viewmodel X – viewmodel_offset_x 2.5
