How often should CS2 settings be updated?
Pro settings can change after roster moves, patches, events, or personal preference changes, so visible update dates matter.

Settings source and update policy
CS2 settings and team responsibilities change often. This page explains how the database is reviewed, what a primary role means, and how corrections are handled.

How roles are classified
“Primary role” is the clearest single label for browsing and comparison. Hybrid players can lead while AWPing or switch between entry, support, and rifling duties, so the label describes the main tracked responsibility rather than every task performed in a match. Where a current specialist role cannot be established, the broader Rifler label is used instead of guessing a narrower role.
Corrections and provenance
Public information can lag behind roster moves. Reports are checked against the most direct available source before a record is changed; uncertain identity fields are omitted instead of displayed as facts.
Report a data correctionWhat is technically validated
Published crosshair share codes must pass the CS2 Base57 alphabet and checksum before they enter the public crosshair index. Preview geometry and console commands are decoded from that same share code, so the card, generator preset, and copied code share one source of truth. The browser preview is a static visualization; movement and weapon-specific behavior should still be checked in-game. Records with malformed codes stay out of the crosshair index until corrected.
The July 2026 crosshair audit checked every checksum-valid player record. 150 profiles were reconciled against ProSettings player pages and 14 against dated Total CS match histories. All 164 published crosshairs are source-checked and checksum-valid.
Config values are historical setup snapshots, not universal recommendations. Fields without record-level provenance are labelled cautiously or omitted; always back up your setup and test changes in-game.

Where should CS2 settings data come from?
The best sources are player streams, team content, tournament setup posts, player-published config shares, and manual checks against current CS2 commands.
