rom the above image, we can see that the most widely used CS:GO crosshair size is ‘2’ while the preferred gap is ‘0’. The style ‘4’ seems to be a constant among all the aiming reticles along with a thickness of ‘1’.

None of the listed crosshairs was just a dot and a majority of them did not possess any sort of an outline. The colour ‘Green’ seemed to be in most demand and though all the crosshairs looked different, they shared certain common characteristics which made them all efficient tools to bolster a players aim.

Further data on certain crosshair metrics paint a much more clear picture of what players prefer and are currently using in-game. The green colour for crosshair was used by more than half of the player base, followed by Cyan, Red, White, Yellow, Pink, and Blue.
This gives us a good idea of what CS:GO players want to achieve from their crosshairs. Dot crosshair despite being talked about a lot is not preferred by most of the users, as it is not an effective way of spraying from a weapon. Even the outline of the crosshair is not preferred by the majority of the users, who like to keep the reticle minimal and thin enough to help them line their shot without being too much of a distraction.
