To crouch in CS:GO, simply press and hold the CTRL key (default binding). Crouching makes your character lower to the ground, reducing your hitbox size and improving accuracy while shooting.

Quick methods to crouch in CS:GO: - Press and hold CTRL (default key) - You can toggle crouch in settings if you prefer - Bind crouch to a different key through console or settings

Benefits of crouching in CS:GO: - Increases shooting accuracy - Makes you a smaller target - Helps control recoil - Essential for crouch-jumping techniques - Useful for hiding behind certain objects

If you want to change your crouch key, open the game settings and navigate to Keyboard/Mouse settings. Here you can rebind the crouch action to any key you prefer. Many players bind it to C or CAPS LOCK for easier access.

Pro tip: Don't crouch too often in firefights as it makes you an easier target since you move slower. Use crouching strategically when spraying at medium to long ranges or when you need to hide behind cover.

To enable crouch toggle instead of hold:

1. Open console (enable it first in game settings if needed)
2. Type: cl_hold_to_crouch 0
3. Press Enter

Remember that excessive crouching, known as "crouch spamming," was nerfed by Valve. There's now a fatigue system that prevents rapid crouching, so use this movement mechanic wisely.

For best results, combine crouching with other movement techniques like counter-strafing and peek-shooting to maximize your survival and combat effectiveness in competitive play.
