Changing your weapon view to left-handed in CS:GO can give you a fresh perspective and potentially improve your gameplay. Here's how to do it quickly and effectively:

The fastest way to switch to left-handed view is by using the console command:

cl_righthand 0

To enable this change, you'll first need to:

1. Enable the Developer Console:
   • Launch CS:GO
   • Go to Settings
   • Select Game Settings
   • Set "Enable Developer Console" to Yes
   • Press the ` (tilde) key to open the console

Alternatively, you can create a toggle bind to switch between left and right-handed views on the fly. Enter this command in the console:

bind "key" "toggle cl_righthand 0 1"

Replace "key" with any keyboard key you prefer. For example:

bind "v" "toggle cl_righthand 0 1"

You can also add this command to your autoexec.cfg file to make the change permanent:

1. Navigate to your CS:GO config folder
2. Open or create autoexec.cfg
3. Add the line: cl_righthand 0
4. Save the file

Pro tip: Many players switch weapon hands based on which side of an object they're peeking from. This keeps the weapon model from blocking crucial sight lines.

Note: This change is purely visual and doesn't affect weapon accuracy or gameplay mechanics. It's entirely personal preference and you can switch back anytime using:

cl_righthand 1
