Alright, so I wanted to mess around with my crosshair in CS:GO the other day, and I figured, why not try out what the pros are using? I stumbled upon TenZ’s setup, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the ride. TenZ, or Tyson Ngo, is this crazy good Valorant player, but he’s got roots in CS:GO, which is where I’m at.
First off, I dug into what makes TenZ’s crosshair tick. The color he uses is this bright cyan, the hex code for it is #00FFFF. I thought, “Okay, that’s pretty flashy, might be hard to see on some maps,” but I was willing to give it a shot. He’s got outlines and the center dot turned off, which I guess keeps things clean and less cluttered on the screen.
So, I jumped into the game and started tweaking. Changing the crosshair color to cyan was easy enough. I just punched in that hex code, and boom, there it was, bright as day. Turning off the outlines and center dot made the crosshair feel really minimalist, which I wasn’t used to, but I could see how it might help you focus on just the essential parts.
Here’s a little breakdown of what I did:
- Changed the color to cyan (#00FFFF): This was pretty straightforward. Just went into the settings and input the color code.
- Turned off outlines: This made the crosshair blend a bit more with the background, but it also made it stand out in a weird way because of the bright color.
- Disabled the center dot: With this off, it felt like there was less blocking my view, which is probably why TenZ likes it this way.
Playing with this setup was interesting. Initially, I thought the cyan would be distracting, but it actually made it easier to keep track of the crosshair, even in hectic situations. Without the outlines and center dot, it felt like my aiming was more about intuition and less about precisely lining up a dot or edges.
Did It Improve My Game?
Honestly, it’s hard to say if it made me play like TenZ overnight, but it did change how I perceive aiming. It felt smoother, and maybe a bit more natural. I think the biggest takeaway for me was how much a simple crosshair change can affect your gameplay. It’s not just about visibility; it’s about how your brain processes aiming and how comfortable you feel with your setup.
I’m still experimenting with it, but so far, I’m kind of digging TenZ’s crosshair settings. It’s made me realize that sometimes, less is more, and a bright, simple crosshair can be surprisingly effective. Who knew, right?
