Let’s find out what settings Donk is currently using to dominate other players in Counter-Strike 2.

Despite being only 17 years old, Danil “Donk” Kryshkovets is currently one of the best players in Counter-Strike 2. He is currently playing under Team Spirit as a rifler/ entry fragger.

Like most players, Donk uses customized CS2 settings that let him perform at his peak. All these settings have been tried and tested in CS:GO and are now carried over to CS2. Want to play like him? Let’s see what settings he is using in Counter-Strike 2.

Video Settings

Donk mainly uses 4:3 at 1280×960 stretched resolution. To see enemies clearly, he set his multisampling AA mode to 8x and shadow quality to high. He uses the standard ZOWIE XL2546K that most pro players use as the primary monitor.

Here is a list of Donk’s full CS2 video settings:

Viewmodel

Donk uses the classic viewmodel. You can turn classic viewmodel on by going into Game>Item>Viewmodel Position setting. You can also execute the classic viewmodel via the console command.

Here is the classic viewmodel code Donk uses in CS2:

viewmodel_fov 68; viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y 0; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5; viewmodel_presetpos 3; cl_usenewbob false;

Mouse Settings

Compared to most pros, Donk utilizes a relatively high mouse sensitivity. It helps him to make quick flicks into enemies’ heads. To maintain his precise aim, Donk uses the SteelSeries QcK+ mousepad and the Logitech G Pro X Superlight mouse.

Here are Donk’s full mouse settings in CS2:

Crosshair

Donk uses a tiny static crosshair in Counter-Strike 2 with a low gap and no outline. He occasionally changes the crosshair color depending on the map. However, his preferred crosshair colors are yellow, green, and white.

There you go! These are the settings Donk is currently using in Counter-Strike 2. Keep in mind that pro players like Donk tend to change their CS2 settings quite often. However, the changes are always minimal.

Everyone has a different playstyle. So, we advise you to take ideas from pro players’ settings but not copy them exactly the way they are. Nonetheless, try Donk’s CS2 settings, but fine-tune them as per your liking to make the most of it.
