sl3nd settings

sl3nd uses a sensitivity setting of 0.9 paired with a DPI of 800, resulting in an effective eDPI of 720. This combination allows for precise control and fine-tuned aiming, which is ideal for a player who values accuracy in high-stakes situations. The relatively low sensitivity ensures that large mouse movements are necessary for significant in-game turns, promoting consistent crosshair placement and reducing the risk of over-aiming.

sl3nd utilizes a Classic Static crosshair with a compact design, featuring a small gap of -2.5, minimal length, and no center dot. The crosshair is colored bright green (RGB 0,255,255 with high alpha), ensuring high visibility against most backgrounds. This minimalist, static approach reduces distractions and provides clear target acquisition, making it easier to maintain focus during intense firefights.

sl3nd uses the VAXEE VAXEE XE Wireless Blue mouse, which is renowned for its lightweight design and high responsiveness. The wireless functionality ensures freedom of movement without cable drag, while the 1000Hz polling rate guarantees rapid input registration. Such a mouse is ideal for competitive play, as it allows for swift, precise actions and minimizes latency.

sl3nd plays on the ZOWIE XL2546K, a professional-grade esports monitor known for its 240Hz refresh rate and fast response times. He utilizes the monitor’s ‘Premium’ DyAc setting for motion clarity, sets color vibrance to 13 for vivid visuals, and black equalizer to 13 to enhance visibility in dark areas. These settings together provide smooth gameplay and help spot opponents more easily in all lighting conditions.

sl3nd opts for a 1280x1024 resolution with a 5:4 aspect ratio in fullscreen mode, using stretched scaling. This setup enlarges player models, making them easier to spot and hit. Key graphics settings include low model texture detail for higher frame rates, high global shadow quality for clear shadow visibility, anisotropic 8x filtering for crisp textures, and 8x MSAA for reduced aliasing. Boost Player Contrast is enabled to further enhance target clarity, all contributing to a competitive visual environment.

sl3nd uses the Wooting 60HE+, a top-tier analog keyboard known for its rapid actuation and customizable key response. The analog input allows for more nuanced movement and faster reaction times, which is particularly advantageous in high-pressure situations where split-second decisions can determine the outcome of a round.

sl3nd plays on the ZOWIE G-TR mousepad, which is designed for consistent glide and precise stopping power. The combination of a large, high-quality mousepad with his low sensitivity settings enables wide, controlled arm movements, offering both precision for aiming and comfort during extended sessions.

sl3nd sets his HUD color to orange and scales it to 0.85, providing a compact and easily readable interface. His radar is configured for maximum clarity, with a HUD size of 1, map zoom at 0.7, player centering, and automatic rotation enabled. He also toggles radar shape with the scoreboard, ensuring that essential information is always accessible without cluttering the screen.

sl3nd’s launch options include ‘-novid’ to skip intro videos, ‘-tickrate 128’ for higher server tickrate in offline play, ‘-high’ for process priority, ‘-freq 240’ to match his monitor’s refresh rate, and ‘+autoexec.cfg’ to load custom settings. These commands collectively ensure faster game startup, smoother gameplay, and that his preferred configurations are always applied.

sl3nd’s viewmodel is set with a field of view of 68, slight horizontal offset, minimal vertical and depth offsets, and no weapon bob. This compact, centered setup keeps weapon animations out of the way, maximizing screen space for spotting opponents and reducing distractions during firefights, which is critical for maintaining focus and accuracy.
