How to Convert Your Valorant Crosshair to CS2 (Step-by-Step Guide)

How to Convert Your Valorant Crosshair to CS2 (Step-by-Step Guide)

Switching between Valorant and Counter-Strike 2 is becoming increasingly common among pro and amateur players alike. But one thing that always trips players up is their crosshair. The two games use completely different crosshair systems, which means you can't simply paste your Valorant code into CS2.

In this guide, we'll walk you through the exact settings you need to adjust — and show you how our free Crosshair Converter Tool can do it all instantly.

Why You Can't Just Copy Your Crosshair Code

Valorant uses its own crosshair profile code format (e.g., 0;P;c;5;h;0;0l;4;0o;2;0a;1;0f;0;1b;0), while CS2 uses an entirely different set of console variables like cl_crosshairsize, cl_crosshairgap, and cl_crosshairthickness. These two systems don't map 1:1, so direct copying doesn't work.

The Mapping Between Valorant and CS2 Settings

Valorant Setting	CS2 Equivalent	Notes
Inner Line Length	cl_crosshairsize	Length 4 in Valorant ≈ Size 4 in CS2
Inner Line Thickness	cl_crosshairthickness	Thickness 2 ≈ cl_crosshairthickness 1
Inner Line Offset	cl_crosshairgap	Offset 0 ≈ Gap -2 to -3
Outline	cl_crosshair_drawoutline	Toggle + thickness
Center Dot	cl_crosshairdot	On/Off toggle

Step-by-Step: Manual Conversion

Step 1: Note Your Valorant Settings

Before switching, open Valorant Settings → Crosshair and write down:

• Inner Line Length
• Inner Line Thickness
• Inner Line Offset (Gap)
• Outline On/Off
• Color

Step 2: Apply in CS2

Open your CS2 console and use these commands:

cl_crosshairsize 4
cl_crosshairgap -3
cl_crosshairthickness 1
cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0
cl_crosshaircolor 1

Step 3: Fine-Tune Live

Hop into a practice server and use the crosshair preview to check how it looks on screen. Make micro-adjustments to cl_crosshairgap until it matches the visual feel of your Valorant setup.
