Radar settings in CS2

A well-configured radar shows the whole map and your teammates' positions. The default radar is zoomed in too much, so distant spots are not visible.

🔧 Recommended settings

cl_radar_scale 0.4
cl_radar_always_centered 0
cl_radar_rotate 1
cl_hud_radar_scale 1.15
cl_radar_square_with_scoreboard 1

📌 What each command does

• cl_radar_scale — map zoom on the radar. A lower value shows more of the map. Usually 0.3–0.45.

• cl_radar_always_centered 0 — the radar does not keep you strictly centered and shows more useful space.

• cl_radar_rotate 1 — the radar rotates with you.

• cl_hud_radar_scale — the size of the radar on screen (0.8 to 1.3).

• cl_radar_square_with_scoreboard 1 — when you hold Tab, the radar turns square and shows the whole map.

🎯 Where else to set it

The same options are in the menu: Settings → Game → Radar / Tab.

⚠️ Tip

Test the zoom on each map in practice mode: bigger maps work better with a lower value.
