One of the less popular but essential settings in Counter-Strike 2 is the character’s hand position setting. It is often overlooked in favor of selecting the scope, although it can be beneficial in various game moments. Conveniently positioned hands allow you to notice your opponents much earlier and reduce blind spots on the monitor.
Customizing Viewmodel in Counter Strike 2
Viewmodel adjustment is an opportunity to customize the position of your hands in the game. You can bring them closer to the edges of the screen or move them forward. The viewmodel_fov “x” command determines the viewing angle and position of the hands. Instead of “x,” you can use any number between 54 and 68.
To position the arms in three dimensions accurately, three commands take values from -2 to 2. Apply these settings to maximize your customization and increase the effectiveness of your game.
- viewmodel_offset_x “x” – adjusts the position of the arms on the x-axis;
- viewmodel_offset_y “x” – changes the arm position in the Y axis;
- viewmodel_offset_z “x” – brings the hands closer and farther away from the character.
The game is missing the viewmodel_recoil command, which is responsible for the recoil of your weapon. It is not yet possible to disable the effect when your weapon shakes during firing. We will keep an eye on the updates and will let you know about new features.
Long arms in CS2
You can make changes to your arm settings to make them appear longer. Just change the values of the four corresponding commands. Here’s an example of what the arms might look like in the furthest possible position:
- viewmodel_offset_x -2; viewmodel_offset_y 2; viewmodel_offset_z -2; viewmodel_fov 68
If you like this hand placement, copy this line into the console. These customizations can help you create a more desirable visual effect in the game. Constantly experiment and customize the gameplay to your preferences.
Close hand placement in CS 2
Do you want your weapons and hands not to hide areas on the map and always be able to spot your opponent? Enter the following command in the console:
- viewmodel_offset_x -2; viewmodel_offset_y -2; viewmodel_offset_z -2; viewmodel_fov 54
This will adjust the hands and weapons so that they take up minimal screen space. This way, you’ll have a better view and won’t miss any enemies.
Customizing the left hand in CS2
Previously, users had the option to change the position of the hand with the command “bind “q” and “toggle cl_righthand 0 1”. Proper switching allowed you to reduce your blind spot and always be aware of your opponent’s position.
To some players, changing hands became a kind of entertainment, similar to inspecting weapons, which they could do while waiting for an opponent to come out. There is no option to become left-handed in the new version of the game. The new engine includes legs and dynamic shadowing, making mirroring also impossible.
CS2 Hand Shake
Some users choose to disable or reduce the effect of handshaking while moving and jumping. However, no commands are yet available in CS 2 to remove this effect.
The likelihood of such commands appearing in the future is extremely low, as they have long been banned at tournaments due to the potential advantage they could give a player. Despite this, players can still enjoy the game and overcome all challenges using their skills and tactics.
