AW settings

AW plays with a mouse sensitivity of 1.5 and a DPI of 400, which results in an effective eDPI of 600. This combination is favored by many professional players as it offers a balanced compromise between swift crosshair movement and precise control, making it easier to execute accurate flick shots while maintaining steady aim during tracking.

AW utilizes a static, minimalist crosshair with a very small gap of -4, length and thickness both set to 1, and no center dot. The crosshair is fully white for optimal visibility, and outlines are disabled, reducing visual distractions. This streamlined setup allows for precise aiming and ensures the crosshair doesn't obstruct the view of opponents during critical moments.

AW uses the ZOWIE XL2540K monitor, a popular choice among professional players due to its high refresh rate and fast response times. This monitor ensures exceptionally smooth motion and minimal input lag, providing a significant advantage for spotting enemy movements quickly and reacting with precision during high-stakes matches.

AW plays at a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio, using the stretched scaling mode. This configuration is commonly chosen by competitive players as it makes character models appear wider, which can make aiming and spotting opponents slightly easier, while also reducing clutter on the screen for a more focused gameplay experience.

AW uses the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Black mouse, known for its ultra-lightweight design and high-precision sensor. The lightweight build enables rapid movements and reduces fatigue during extended gaming sessions, while the advanced sensor ensures consistent tracking accuracy, both of which are crucial for maintaining peak performance in competitive Counter-Strike 2.

AW's viewmodel settings feature a field of view set to 68, with the weapon offset values of 2.5 on the x-axis, 0 on the y-axis, and -1.5 on the z-axis. These settings position the weapon model slightly to the right and lower, maximizing screen real estate and ensuring that the weapon doesn't obstruct the player's view, which aids in better spotting of opponents.

AW relies on the Logitech G Pro X Headset, a device known for its clear sound reproduction and accurate positional audio. This headset allows AW to accurately discern enemy footsteps, gunfire, and utility usage, offering a critical edge in reacting to opponents' movements and making informed decisions during matches.

AW's radar is configured to rotate with the player, center the player on the map, and toggle shape with the scoreboard, with a radar HUD size of 1 and a map zoom of 0.4. This setup ensures the radar provides a comprehensive overview of the map while keeping the player's position clear, facilitating quick situational awareness and tactical planning.

AW uses the Logitech G Pro X TKL Keyboard Black and the SteelSeries QcK Heavy mousepad. The TKL keyboard offers a compact layout, granting more space for mouse movement, while the QcK Heavy provides a large, consistent surface that supports both low and high sensitivity playstyles, ensuring smooth and reliable mouse tracking during intense gameplay.

AW's system is powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card. This combination delivers high frame rates and smooth performance in Counter-Strike 2, minimizing input lag and graphical stutters, which is essential for maintaining accuracy and responsiveness in fast-paced competitive environments.
