Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov has been considered one of the best snipers in the world for several years now. To reach this level, he turned everything related to the game,practice, learning tricks, and settings, into an absolute priority. Today, the CS.MONEY Blog takes a detailed look at m0NESY CS2 settings to find the best Counter-Strike 2 config.

m0NESY settings: graphics and monitor
Most pros optimize CS2 for maximum performance. Osipov is no exception — his graphics settings are focused on getting as many frames per second as possible:
When it comes to graphics, m0NESY is quite conservative. His config is very similar to what most other pros use. The only real exception is 8x MSAA anti-aliasing. Many famous players like ZywOo or sh1ro prefer 4x MSAA or even 2x MSAA.
Ilya uses the ZOWIE XL2586X+ monitor. It’s a true screen monster with a 600 Hz refresh rate and a bunch of built-in technologies. It can also be customized, and m0NESY uses the following settings:
- DyAc 2: Premium;
- Black eQualizer: 12;
- Color Vibrance: 12;
- Low Blue Light: 0;
- Picture Mode: Gamer 1;
- Brightness: 100;
- Contrast: 50;
- Sharpness: 10;
- Gamma: Gamma 2;
- Color Temperature: Normal;
- AMA: High.
In NVIDIA settings — and Ilya uses a GPU from this brand — everything is standard. The slider is set toward maximum performance, with no extra filters or image tweaks.
m0NESY Settings in CS2: Mouse
Ilya uses the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, Logitech’s flagship wireless mouse. At this level, the mouse doesn’t provide a decisive advantage in the game; the main thing is that it’s comfortable for the player. So, let’s move on to the in-game mouse settings.
- DPI: 400
- Sensitivity: 2
- eDPI: 800
- Zoom Sensitivity: 1
- Windows Sensitivity: 6
- Hz: 2000
These settings aren’t particularly unique. Many players use similar configurations. Note only one aspect: the sensitivity in zoom is halved compared to the rest of the game. The reason is simple: you won’t be swaying left and right while zoomed in and aimed for a shot. You need to precisely cover one passage, and your shot must be accurate. AWP is a weapon that doesn’t forgive misses, so reducing sensitivity leads to more precise crosshair placement, ensuring your shot hits exactly where you intended.
m0NESY CS2 Settings: Crosshair
m0NESY’s crosshair looks simple — it’s a small turquoise cross. You can copy it using this crosshair code:
CSGO-wAD3c-ykt5L-zvZ98-vBisR-6sWPA.
If the code doesn’t work, you can always enter m0NESY’s crosshair console commands manually:
- cl_crosshairgap -4;
- cl_crosshair_outlinethickness 0;
- cl_crosshaircolor_r 0;
- cl_crosshaircolor_g 255;
- cl_crosshaircolor_b 255;
- cl_crosshairalpha 255;
- cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitdist 7;
- cl_crosshair_recoil false;
- cl_fixedcrosshairgap 0;
- cl_crosshair_drawoutline false;
- cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitalpha_innermod 1;
- cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitalpha_outermod 0.5;
- cl_crosshair_dynamic_maxdist_splitratio 0.3;
- cl_crosshairthickness 1;
- cl_crosshairdot false;
- cl_crosshairgap_useweaponvalue false;
- cl_crosshairusealpha true;
- cl_crosshair_t false;
- cl_crosshairstyle 4;
- cl_crosshairsize 1.
On a large screen and with relatively low resolution, this crosshair is very comfortable to use. So if you’re copying all of m0NESY’s settings, it makes sense to use his crosshair as well.
m0NESY CS2 Settings: Other
Besides graphics and crosshair, CS2 has plenty of other settings. One of them is hand position. To get the same hands as m0NESY, you only need a few console commands:
- viewmodel_fov 68;
- viewmodel_offset_x 2.5;
- viewmodel_offset_y 0;
- viewmodel_offset_z -1.5.
m0NESY keeps his launch options simple — he doesn’t use any. About a year and a half ago, he did have some, but now the field is empty. Back then, many of those options didn’t even work, so removing them was a logical decision.
CS2 has dozens, if not hundreds, of settings that let you adjust the game to fit your style. But settings aren’t the only way to make the game feel personal. Skins also help a lot. With them, you can create your own unique look that’s pleasing to the eye and makes other players on the server jealous. And the best place to buy skins is right here at CS.MONEY.
