Nikola “NiKo” Kovač’s longevity is worthy of study, after all, he’s undeniably the most consistent Counter-Strike rifler ever. So, if you’re looking to mix up your game, it’s definitely worth checking NiKo’s CS2 pro settings.
Whether you’re interested in his mouse sensitivity, video settings, or what type of crosshair he uses, we’ve got you covered. Here are all of NiKo’s CS2 pro settings.
After many years playing with a low mouse sensitivity, NiKo has cranked up a bit because he thinks that enemies swing too fast in CS2.
| Mouse | Razer Deathadder V4 Pro White |
| DPI | 1600 |
| eDPI | 584 |
| Sensitivity | 0.365 |
| Zoom Sensitivity | 1 |
| Hz | 4000 |
| Windows Sensitivity | 6 |
While NiKo’s crosshair is small, it’s not as tiny as the ones his teammates, Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov and Maksim “kyousuke” Lukin, use.

NiKo’s viewmodel settings are significantly different than most pros, as he’s been trying something new this year. This viewmodel kind of looks like Doom.

| Offset X | 1 |
| Offset Y | 2 |
| Offset Z | -1.5 |
| Presetpos | 3 |
| Full code | viewmodel_fov 64; viewmodel_offset_x 1; viewmodel_offset_y 2; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5; viewmodel_presetpos 3; |
Just like many pros, NiKo plays on a 4:3 aspect ratio and uses a 1280×960 resolution. Given how popular these settings are, it’s safe to assume they’re meta.
