NiKo CS2 settings : crosshair and sensitivity, video and viewmodel

Nikola “NiKo” Kovač has been a superstar of the esports scene for many years. His incredibly precise shooting and excellent movement captivate many CS2 fans, leading some to speculate that NiKo uses special CS settings that help him demonstrate such an incredible level of play. Well, you won’t know until you try. Below, we’ve gathered everything you need to quickly set up identical parameters, including NiKo’s mouse settings, his crosshair, viewmodel, and, of course, the game’s graphic settings.

NiKo mouse settings

NiKo uses a rather low mouse sensitivity, which is compensated by an optimal DPI value. This will require more movements across the mousepad, but if you get accustomed to it, you will become more precise in micro-adjusting your aim at the opponent. Here’s the full list of settings:

Nikola Kovač occasionally changes his mouse, but most often, he opts for the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro Wireless in a limited edition by DotA player FAKER, featuring an incredibly attractive red design. This mouse has a less symmetrical shape compared to, for example, the G Pro X Superlight, and is suitable only for right-handed users.

NiKo Crosshair settings

NiKo uses a small static crosshair in white, which is quite unusual for most players. It stands out well against enemy models but tends to blend in with the walls on maps like Mirage.

The easiest way to install it is to use a code that can be exported through the game’s settings menu:

CSGO-Gdx9x-nvZhd-X559k-zTYPy-kbTOG

To rearrange the console commands as requested, here they are in a new order:

NiKo Crosshair settings

This setup provides a standard and comfortable first-person view, albeit with slightly elongated arms. Simply copy all the commands provided into your console (preferably one at a time), and you will have identical parameters.

viewmodel_presetpos 3; viewmodel_fov 68; viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y 0; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5;

NiKo video settings

Now, let’s examine perhaps the most interesting part — NiKo’s video settings. He uses a rather unconventional screen resolution — 1152×864. His aspect ratio is the familiar and stretched 4:3.

Regarding more advanced video settings, you won’t find anything particularly extraordinary here. Moreover, some parameters consume too much FPS and should be reduced.

The standard setting that adds more light and contrast to the models does not decrease your performance and is essential to turn on. We do not know why NiKo has disabled this setting; perhaps there is some trick to it.

Disables the synchronization between the monitor and the graphics card, which is essential to turn off for shooters like CS2. It’s all about the increased frame time, which we do not need, even if you have a 360 Hz monitor, it’s not worth it.

Definitely keep it on High, as this will allow you to see the shadows of opponents from spotlights and the sun much better.
