Nicolai "dev1ce" Reedtz is undeniably one of the most legendary AWPers in Counter-Strike history, armed with four Major championships and a reputation for surgical precision. As he continues to compete at the highest tier of CS2—bringing his veteran expertise to the 100 Thieves roster—fans and aspiring snipers alike are eager to know exactly how he sets up his game. If you're looking to play with the same level of calculated dominance, this guide breaks down every aspect of dev1ce's complete CS2 pro settings. From his updated crosshair code and mouse sensitivity to his viewmodel configuration and exact gaming gear, here is everything you need to mirror the Danish maestro's setup.

device CS2 Mouse Settings - Sensitivity and DPI

When it comes to mouse settings, dev1ce relies on a setup designed for stability and precise AWP micro-adjustments. He currently plays on 800 DPI with an in-game sensitivity hovering between 1.15 and 1.20, which puts his effective DPI (eDPI) in the 920 to 960 range. This eDPI provides a perfect middle-ground: it is fast enough to allow for quick flick shots and evasive movement, but low enough to guarantee pixel-perfect crosshair placement when holding tight angles. For scoping, he keeps his zoom sensitivity at a standard 1.00, ensuring a consistent, 1:1 aiming feel whether he is rifling or locked in with the AWP. He pairs these in-game values with a standard 1000 Hz mouse polling rate and the default 6/11 Windows pointer speed.

  • Mouse: Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE

  • DPI: 800

  • Sensitivity: 1.15

  • eDPI: 920

  • Zoom Sensitivity: 1

  • Hz: 1000

  • Windows Sensitivity: 6

device Video Settings for CS2

To maximize his frame rate and visibility, dev1ce plays on a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio, utilizing Stretched scaling rather than black bars. This stretched format is a staple among professional AWPers because it stretches the image horizontally, making player models appear significantly wider and visually easier to hit. He plays in Fullscreen mode at 100% Brightness to ensure everything is bright and responsive. 

In his advanced video settings, he keeps Boost Player Contrast Enabled to make enemies pop against map backgrounds, and he relies on 2x MSAA for anti-aliasing to smooth out jagged edges just enough without tanking his frames. To prioritize performance and clarity, he sets his Model/Texture, Shader, and Particle Details to Low

However, he crucially keeps his Global Shadow Quality set to High, which allows him to spot enemy shadows stretching around corners before the player model actually peeks. 

  • Boost Players Contrast: Enabled

  • Model/Texture Detail: Low

  • Shader Detail: Low

  • Particle Detail: Low

  • Texture Filtering: Anisotropic 16x

  • Anti-Aliasing: 2x MSAA

  • Shadow Quality: High

  • Dynamic Shadows: All

  • Ambient Occlusion: Medium

  • FidelityFX Super Resolution: Disabled (Highest Quality)

  • V-Sync: Disabled

  • NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: Disabled

  • NVIDIA G-Sync: Disabled

  • High Dynamic Range: Quality

  • Resolution: 1280x960

  • Aspect Ratio: 4:3 

  • Mode: Fullscreen

  • Scaling Mode: Stretched

  • Brightness: 100%

device Monitor Settings for CS2

dev1ce relies on the industry-standard ZOWIE esports monitors, currently utilizing the cutting-edge ZOWIE XL2566X+ with its blistering 400Hz refresh rate. 

Here you can find device monitor settings:

  • DyAc: Premium

  • Black eQualizer: 10

  • Color Vibrance: 15

  • Low Blue Light: 0

  • Picture Mode: FPS 1

  • Brightness: 100

  • Contrast: 59

  • Sharpness: 10

  • Gamma: Gamma 3

  • Color Temperature: Bluish

  • AMA: High

device Viewmodel Settings for CS2

While many casual players leave their viewmodel on the default settings, dev1ce configures his weapon placement to maximize screen real estate and visibility. He pushes his field of view to the maximum limit with viewmodel_fov 68, which makes the gun appear smaller and further away from the camera. To ensure the weapon model doesn't block his line of sight when holding tight angles with the AWP, he shifts the gun far to the right and slightly down using viewmodel_offset_x 2.5, viewmodel_offset_y 0, and viewmodel_offset_z -1.5. This specific setup, anchored by viewmodel_presetpos 2, is a staple among top-tier professionals because it minimizes visual clutter and prevents the gun from accidentally obscuring a peeking enemy.

  • viewmodel_offset_x 2.5

  • viewmodel_offset_y 0

  • viewmodel_offset_z -1.5

  • viewmodel_presetpos 2

It’s also useful to learn how viewmodel settings work to adjust them to your preference.

device Radar Settings for CS2

His radar centers the player and rotates simultaneously. Use the following settings to try out for yourself what playing with the device radar settings feels like.

  • Radar Centers The Player: Yes 

  • Radar is Rotating: Yes 

  • Toggle Shape With Scoreboard: No

  • Radar Hud Size: 1.1

  • Map Zoom: 0.5

device Audio Settings for CS2

In Counter-Strike 2, pinpointing enemy footsteps and utility usage is just as crucial as having perfect aim. While exact master volume percentages fluctuate depending on headset configurations, dev1ce and other top-tier veterans utilize CS2's updated audio parameters to maximize directional clarity. 

For the EQ Profile, professional AWPers typically lean toward Crisp, which aggressively boosts midrange frequencies to make footsteps and reloads more distinguishable, or Natural to prevent the deafening blast of the sniper rifle from causing ear fatigue during long matches. 

He keeps L/R Isolation around 50%: the standard competitive middle-ground that provides accurate left-and-right directional panning without making the audio sound overly artificial. Additionally, Perspective Correction is left Enabled, ensuring that sounds are accurately processed based on his direct field of view. Finally, to eliminate unnecessary distractions during high-pressure clutch situations, all in-game music (such as Round Start, Round End, and MVP anthems) is completely muted. 

The sole exception is the Ten Second Warning Volume, which is kept clearly audible so he always knows exactly whether he has enough time to stick a bomb defuse.

device Skins

While professional players frequently cycle through different items, his loadout is anchored by some of the most coveted weapon skins in the Counter-Strike 2 economy.
