Hey everyone, I spent a whole afternoon trying to get a decent red dot in CS:GO. Let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey, but I’ve got some good stuff to share with you guys.

So, I started by jumping into some different maps. You know, Inferno, Dust2, all the usual suspects. I wanted to see how different crosshairs felt in different places. I also typed give weapon_deagle into the console to grab a deagle. I figured that if I’m gonna be testing crosshairs, I might as well practice with my favorite gun, right?
After grabbing that, I spent maybe 3-5 seconds just tracking the heads of bots and some players. This actually helped me get a feel for how my aim was responding to different crosshair settings. At first, I thought it was just about getting used to a new setting, but it turns out I needed to change some stuff with my mouse too.
Then I started messing around with different colors and dot sizes. I read somewhere that the right color can make a big difference, so I tried a bunch of them. I started with bright ones like green and yellow, then moved to more subtle ones like light blue. It’s crazy how much of a difference the color makes!
- I practiced my crosshair placement on different maps.
- Tried to get better aim by moving around while shooting.
- Did some recoil control exercises to get used to spraying.
I also hit up some of those aim training maps, like aim_botz, just to work on my accuracy. They’re great for pure accuracy training. I think that really helped me improve my aim, especially when it comes to clicking heads. Also, I tried some death match servers to get a feel for real game situations. It was much harder than the training maps, but it was worth it.
It’s not just about shooting, though. I also tried to work on my movement while keeping my crosshair steady. It’s tough, but it makes a huge difference in-game, so I definitely recommend it.

After a few hours, I finally settled on a red dot that I like. It’s not perfect, but it’s a big improvement over what I had before. And, to be honest, I feel like my aim has gotten a lot better just from doing all this testing. My flicks are snappier, and my tracking feels smoother. It just goes to show that taking the time to really dial in your settings can make a big difference.
Practice, Practice, Practice
Overall, I feel like my aim has improved a lot just from this one afternoon of experimenting. I’d definitely recommend you guys give it a try. Just play around with the settings, try out some different maps and training modes, and see what works best for you. You might be surprised at how much it helps.
