If you’re looking to play like the best, sometimes you want to use their settings. Nikola “NiKo” Kovač is one of those players.

In this article, we’ll be sharing the latest NiKo CS2 settings he provides via his Twitch channel. It’s worth pointing out that some of these will only apply to CS:GO and, therefore should be ignored.

We will update as new settings become available specific to CS2.
