XANTARES CS2 settings

XANTARES is up there with the best CS2 players with his game warping peeks. Here’s how his game looks when he’s swinging out like a madman.

General video settings

  • Display Mode: Fullscreen
  • Resolution: 1024×768
  • Aspect Ratio: 4:3
  • Scaling Mode: Stretched
  • Brightness: 93%

The CS2 sctretched resolution is pretty standard among the pros. There are only a handful of players that play 16:9 default.

Advanced video settings

  • Boost Player Contrast: Enabed
  • VSync: Disabled
  • NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: Disabled
  • NVIDIA G-Sync: Disabled
  • Maximum FPS In Game: 0 (Uncapped)
  • Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode: 4x MSAA
  • Global Shadow Quality: High
  • Dynamic Shadows: All
  • Model / Texture Detail: Low
  • Texture Filtering Mode: Anisotropic 4x
  • Shader Detail: High
  • Particle Detail: Low
  • Ambient Occlusion: Disabled
  • High Dynamic Range: Quality
  • FidelityFX Super Resolution: Disabled (Highest Quality)

His video settings are pretty par for the course among most pros, and aren’t going to be too taxing on your system.

Viewmodel settings

You’ll still be able to pull off the XANTARES peek without exactly cloning his CS2 viewmodel commands. But if you’re looking to try his other settings, its an easy thing to tweak.

  • CS2 FOV set at 60 (viewmodel_fov 60)
  • Offset X 1 (viewmodel_offset_x 1)
  • Offset Y 1 (viewmodel_offset_y 1)
  • Offset Z -1 (viewmodel_offset_z -1)
  • Presetpos 1 (viewmodel_presetpos 1)

XANTARES CS2 gear

The Turkish pro definitely has one of the more zoomed in setups with wider crosshairs. On the physical side of things, he’s aiming with the ZOWIE FK1-C. His mouse settings are the following:

  • Polling Rate: 1000 Hz
  • DPI: 400
  • In Game Sensitivity: 2.3
  • eDPI: 920
  • Windows Sensitivity: 6
  • Zoom Sensitivity: 1

He runs this on a Logitech G640 Original mousepad, in addition to a Corsair K70 TKL 80% keyboard. His monitor of choice is the ZOWIE XL2566K. It’s capable of putting out 360Hz refresh rate, making it a great choice. Sharp and ready refreshes for his zoomed style of play.
