NiKo is arguably the best player in the game’s history to never win a Major. His superstar performances earned him numerous other trophies, including IEM Cologne and Katowice, but he never won a Major tournament. If you want to take a glimpse at the settings he’s using during that mission, look no further. Here’s NiKo’s full list of video, mouse, crosshair, and viewmodel settings.

Niko’s settings in CS2 can be the best starting point for finding your groove. You’ll get a good understanding of what features go into making a top-tier player but remember to hit deathmatch and practice.

Tip:

Change these settings up to suit your playstyle and gaming rig. You can also always hop into a practice match against bots to test the settings out before going up against other players.
