GuardiaN settings

GuardiaN currently uses the Xtrfy M64 mouse paired with a sensitivity setting of 1.50 and a DPI of 400, resulting in an effective eDPI of 600. This low sensitivity setup allows for highly controlled and accurate crosshair movement, which is especially beneficial for consistent tracking and precision shots, particularly when using scoped weapons in high-pressure situations.

GuardiaN employs a classic static crosshair with a minimalistic design—gap of -3, length 1, and no center dot—colored in a bright green shade with high alpha for visibility. This setup minimizes distractions and provides a clear focal point, helping him maintain accuracy during rapid engagements and ensuring the crosshair is easily visible against various map backgrounds.

GuardiaN plays on a 1024x768 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio, using black bars for scaling. This classic setup is favored by many professionals as it stretches player models vertically, making them more prominent targets while maintaining a high frame rate and reducing unnecessary visual clutter on screen.

GuardiaN relies on the ZOWIE XL2546 Divina Blue monitor, renowned for its 240Hz refresh rate and fast response times. This monitor is a staple among esports pros, as it ensures ultra-smooth motion, reduces input lag, and provides a competitive edge by allowing for quicker reaction times and clearer visuals during fast-paced action.

GuardiaN optimizes his video settings for performance by disabling V-Sync, setting shader and model texture details to low, disabling boost player contrast, and using trilinear texture filtering. He also foregoes anti-aliasing and other demanding effects, prioritizing a high and stable frame rate over graphical fidelity to maintain clear visibility and responsiveness in all situations.

GuardiaN customizes his HUD with a scale of 0.95 and team color overlays, ensuring essential information is clear but not intrusive. His radar is set to a HUD size of 1 with a 0.7 map zoom, rotates with the player, centers on his position, and toggles shape with the scoreboard, which provides comprehensive situational awareness without overwhelming the display.

GuardiaN uses the Logitech G Pro X Wireless Headset, a high-quality headset designed for esports. While specific in-game audio settings aren’t detailed, this headset is known for its accurate sound reproduction and comfort, allowing GuardiaN to pick up on crucial audio cues such as enemy footsteps and grenade pins with clarity during matches.

GuardiaN’s current gear includes the Xtrfy K4 RGB keyboard and the SteelSeries QcK+ mousepad. The K4 RGB offers responsive mechanical switches and customizable lighting, while the QcK+ provides a large, consistent surface with excellent glide—an ideal setup for maintaining precise control and comfort during extended gaming sessions.

GuardiaN’s viewmodel is finely tuned with a field of view set to 68 and specific offsets (x: 2.5, y: 0, z: -1.5), positioning the weapon model to minimize obstruction and maximize peripheral vision. By disabling viewmodel bob and using preset position 2, he ensures that his weapon remains stable and out of the way, aiding in focus and target acquisition.

GuardiaN uses the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card, which delivers exceptional performance and reliability for gaming at high refresh rates. This powerful GPU ensures that frame rates remain consistently high even with demanding settings, reducing input lag and screen tearing—crucial factors for maintaining a competitive edge in professional Counter-Strike 2 matches.
