Viewmodel (hands and weapon) settings in CS2

The viewmodel is the hands and weapon on your screen. Moving them to the side makes the weapon block less of your view.

🔧 Viewmodel commands

viewmodel_fov 68
viewmodel_offset_x 2.5
viewmodel_offset_y 0
viewmodel_offset_z -1.5

• viewmodel_fov — how far the weapon is from the camera (54 to 68). A higher value makes the weapon smaller and further away.

• viewmodel_offset_x — left/right shift (-2.5 to 2.5).

• viewmodel_offset_y — forward/back shift (-2 to 2).

• viewmodel_offset_z — up/down shift (-2 to 2).

📌 Ready-made presets

Put these commands into autoexec.cfg so they never reset.
