To change your FOV (Field of View) in CS:GO, you'll need to use specific console commands. Here's the complete process to adjust your FOV settings:

First, enable the developer console by: 1. Opening CS:GO 2. Going to Settings > Game Settings 3. Setting "Enable Developer Console" to "Yes" 4. Using the tilde key (~) to open the console

The main command to change your viewmodel FOV is:

viewmodel_fov [value]

Replace [value] with a number between 54 and 68. For example:

viewmodel_fov 68

For the best competitive settings, I recommend these viewmodel values: - viewmodel_fov 68 - viewmodel_offset_x 2.5 - viewmodel_offset_y 2 - viewmodel_offset_z -2

Note: CS:GO doesn't allow changing the actual game FOV like other FPS games. The viewmodel_fov command only affects how your weapon appears on screen, not your actual field of view.

To make these settings permanent, create an autoexec.cfg file: 1. Navigate to: Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg 2. Create a new text file named "autoexec.cfg" 3. Add your preferred viewmodel commands 4. Add "host_writeconfig" at the end of the file 5. Save and close

You can also use these additional commands for fine-tuning:

viewmodel_presetpos 0  // Enables custom viewmodel positions
cl_righthand 0/1       // Switches weapon hand (0 for left, 1 for right)

Remember that while changing FOV settings can improve visibility, it's largely personal preference. Experiment with different values to find what works best for your playstyle.
