recon221 wrote I've been trying out a few new games since i have gotten my first pc and I come across cs go after watching a few videos and have a few questions it would be great if someone could hep me out or link me to a good tutorial

Questions -

1. My crosshairs look different to people who I have seen on YouTube and I don't know why?

2. My money doesn't show like I've seen on YouTube it seems that it should be under the mini map however it doesn't show anywhere on my screen from what I can tell on official servers but it does show on community servers?

3.how can I unlock new weapons and creates and get keys?

Thanks for the help and if you have any tips for me can you leave them below, Thanks!

1) You can customize your crosshair to your liking. You probably won't see two people with the same crosshair (not in the same game anyways.)

You can customize the crosshair using console commands that you can enable in the settings menu, to look up different numbers you can use, or if you find one you like, ask the person using it to see if they can help you out. Or if you really want to fine tune your crosshair you can use this site, that helps me with that sort of stuff right [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

2) Hm, possible bug? I would reset your settings to default to see if that fixes the problem, as I have never come across that.

3) In CS:GO you do not unlock weapons, you use the in-game currency to acquire different weapons, you may however unlock different crates from the end-game bonus, but there's always a catch.

Crates can give you a variety of different skins, going from common to Rare, for example, you may get a Galil Sandstorm, or a Huntsman Knife, it's all based around luck, just try not to burn a hole in your wallet. :bigups:

"But West, how do I unlock the crates?" Well, that's easy, you need to buy the keys off of the Community Market.

And if you want a particular skin (There's a few restrictions to a few skins that you can get..), you can purchase it off of the Community Market, as well as knives.

Hopefully that cleared up a few questions that you have, happy playing.

Thanks West so about the in game currency can you use it to get a brand new weapon or just use it to get a weapon you already own?

Sorry the weapon system is the main thing I can't get the hang of

Well, essentially, as far as the weapons go, you "technically" have them all unlocked, but you pay in-game currency to spend money on the guns you want.

Like let's say you're playing Bomb Defusal, at the beginning of the round, you would spend the in-game currency to purchase the gun you want. For example the AK-47.

So let's say at the round you have $3300 dollars, and the Ak-47 is $2700.

After you purchase the item you would then have $600 dollars left.

It's a little tricky, but the more kills you get, the more money you have, as well as completing objectives, like defusing the bomb, you'll get an extra $400.

Sorry about explaining it so poorly, but that's about the best I can word it lol.

Once you start playing you'll get the hang of it soon enough.

Thanks for clearing that up for me!
