NiKo CS2 Full Configuration: Settings, & Crosshair

Just like Donk, NiKo, Nikola Kovač, is a rifler and is considered one of the best in the world. His statistics, his clips (specifically his Deagle clips) and other things make him one of the most well-known and feared CS2 e-sports players in the world. He has won multiple MVP awards and come close to winning several HLTV Best Player awards and he couldn’t do all this without the specific settings that help him play to the best of his ability.

Mouse Settings

When we mention NiKo, a lot of people think of him as the headshot king, especially with that famous Deagle of his.

DPI800
Sensitivity 0.755
eDPI604
Zoom Sensitivity 0.9
Hz4000
Windows Sensitivity 6

His precise aiming is helped by his eDPI being so low. This is a challenge for new players to adjust to, but makes complete sense for his skills and playstyle.

Advanced Video and Resolution Settings

The gameplay and the look of the game are sometimes overlooked in their importance, but with NiKo’s settings, you will see the importance that they offer.

Crosshair Settings

A good crosshair is key for the shots you take on CS2 and using NiKo’s settings is a good way to improve your aim.

StyleClassic Static

Crosshair CodeCSGO-XSjbr-eZaTH-Ycpdq-n8zLm-WAR7B
FOV64
Offset X/Y/Z2 / 1.5 / -1.5

His actual crosshair settings are fairly standard, however, the lack of gap in his crosshair is rare to see and may be the reason for his precision.

The most important thing to note here is the shadows. Noticing an enemy’s shadow in Counter-Strike could be make or break for a player and it is something NiKo is very good at!

Radar Settings

NiKo’s call outs and comms are key to his game and without his radar settings, he wouldn’t be able to do it as successfully as he does.

Radar Centers PlayerYes
Radar is Rotating Yes
Toggle Shape With ScoreboardYes
Radar HUD Size1
Radar Map Zoom0.4

Again, his settings are fairly normal compared to most players. However, he uses a zoomed out map to see more of his surroundings and help his team that little bit more.
