He may be just 17 years old, but in CS2 donk has already emerged as one of the best players in the world in 2024.
The Team Spirit youngster, named Danil Kryshkovets IRL, has already picked up three MVP awards this year with wins at IEM Katowice, BLAST Premier Spring Final presented by Revolut, and a stellar performance at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade.
His performances are leading many fans to ask how they can play CS2 like donk, so we at BLAST.tv have put together a one-stop guide for all of donk’s CS2 settings.

CS2 donk's settings
One of the biggest elements of donk’s game is his CS2 sensitivity settings.
However, to appropriately use donk’s CS2 settings, one must first understand what type of player donk is.

On T side, he is an incredibly aggressive map control player, while on CT side he is a high-fragging rotator.
This means he is found using rifles for more often than he is an AWP, and therefore donk’s CS2 sensitivity settings may not be suitable for you if you are an AWPer.

The Team Spirit youngster is known for his incredible first-bullet accuracy as well as his tight spray control. This is reflected in the relatively low sensitivity.

donk's mouse settings in CS2
Much like CS2 sensitivity settings, CS2 crosshair settings can be very individual.

Players prefer different shapes, sizes, and colours.
Some crosshair colours, such as cyan or green are preferred because they contrast with the environments found on CS maps.
This is seen as advantageous compared to colours like yellow or red, which can sometimes clash with elements of map design.
donk CS2 crosshair settings
To apply donk's CS2 crosshair settings, or the crosshair code, type the following commands into your console.
cl_crosshairsize 1.5; cl_crosshairgap -3; cl_crosshairthickness 0; cl_crosshairstyle 4; cl_crosshaircolor 5; cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0; cl_crosshairdot 0; cl_crosshairalpha 255; cl_crosshaircolor_r 0; cl_crosshaircolor_g 255; cl_crosshaircolor_b 255;
donk CS2 viewmodel settings
A recent CS2 update made it so you would see your friend’s viewmodels in-game, a change that led a lot of people to realise their friends play with some very strange settings.
However, donk plays with a relatively normal CS2 ViewModel, therefore it will be easy to adapt to your own game.

donk CS2 video settings
Like most pro players, donk optimises his CS2 video settings to maximise his frames-per-second or FPS.
He also uses a screen resolution of 1280x960 and an aspect ratio of 4:3.
This is because these CS2 video settings give a classic feel to the game, as well as supposedly making it easier to hit headshots.

donk peripherals
If you want to really play like the Team Spirit prodigy in CS2 and you’re looking to get some new peripherals, you could go as far as to buy the same ones as he has.

Of course, peripherals can be very individual with things such as mouse shape and size not being suited to everyone, so make sure these are at least close to yours before purchasing them.
