What are the Best CS:GO
Viewmodel Settings?

The best CS:GO viewmodel settings are those, which allow to see as much as possible on the screen. While that is important, players also want to have a cool looking first person character model. The character model is also important for the game, because it gives visual feedback, which is important to play CS:GO on a high level. The model gives you information about beeing hit, about how big the spray is, about running and precise aiming.
To get the best CS:GO viewmodel settings you should customize your own or download pro viewmodels from our CS:GO pro player section.

If you want to play with the most standard “best viewmodel CS:GO settings” you can use the following. To use these viewmodel settings simply add the commands to your CS:GO developer console.
viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y -2; viewmodel_offset_z -2; viewmodel_fov 54

What are CS:GO Viewmodels?

CS:GO viewmodels are the character that you can see in-game. This viewmodel contains the hands, arms, and your gun or knife. The viewmodel has many aspects and nearly every pro player and advanced CS:GO player is adjusting the viewmodel to their personal needs.
The default CS:GO viewmodel is quite okay, but there are so many options, which could improve your game quality a lot. On the one hand, smaller viewmodels allow us to get a greater visibility of the map, but the viewmodel also shouldn’t be too small since the feedback it is giving is important to make fast decisions in a game.

What is changeable for the CS:GO Viewmodel?

The viewmodel in CS:GO can be changed in many different ways: You can change the size of the viewmodel as well as the weapon. In addition to that, you can define the zoom of the game so that these components fit well together. For the viewmodel you can use a right hand or left-hand model and it’s up to you to resize and reposition the gun completely. You can move it closer or far away from the sides.

For the impact of getting hit, running and spraying, the viewmodel commands also allow to determine the impact of the visual feedback for those factors.
