FaZe Rain CS2 Full Configuration: Settings, & Crosshair
FaZe Rain, or Håvard Nygaard, is a professional CS2 player for FaZe Clan. The Norwegian is the current rifler for the team and has enjoyed success in multiple organizations before FaZe (G2 Esports and Team Kinguin) since his start in 2015.
During his time as a professional Counter-Strike 2 player, rain has enjoyed good success, winning both personal and team awards. In 2022, rain won the PGL Major in Antwerp with FaZe Clan and became the oldest player to do so at 27, a record that is still yet to be beaten.
Mouse Settings
With Rain being a rifler, his mouse settings are configured to give him the precision and control he needs. His low eDPI and lack of mouse acceleration allows him to have precise control over his crosshair placement.
DPI | 400 |
Sensitivity | 1.8 |
eDPI | 720.00 |
Zoom Sensitivity | 0.9 |
Hz | 1000 |
Windows Sensitivity | 6 |
This setup ensures consistent control of his character and movements, and as a rifler, this is essential for him and his team.

Crosshair Settings
Rain has his crosshair settings in a way that offers visibility without being distracting, the perfect balance.

His 16:10 resolution is not typical compared to other pros, but he uses it a lot as it perfectly meshes with his play style. His play style is mainly focused on movement and positioning rather than high graphics. He also changes his settings so his weapon is less visible on the screen which helps him keep his focus on his surroundings with fewer distractions.
