CS:GO Radar Minimap Settings 101

So first of all I recommend you going on a private server, or rather a match against harmless bots.
You know what I´m trying to say. Get on a server where nobody will shoot you down.

Second of all, I wont give you recommended settings because I want you to try out the commands and pick what feels most comfortable for you. However at the end of this guide you will find my exact settings if you want to try them out!

cl_hud_radar_scale

With this command you will be able to change the size of your radar HUD.

LEFT: cl_hud_radar_scale “0.8”
RIGHT: cl_hud_radar_scale “1.3”
Minimum: “0.8” // Maximum: “1.3”

cl_radar_always_centered

This command allows you to either center the radar or not.
Sounds like no big difference, but it is as you can tell by the screenshots below.
When you are at the corner of a map for example it will show you a lot of none reachable area.

LEFT: cl_radar_always_centered “0”
RIGHT: cl_radar_always_centered “1”
You can only choose between 0 and 1!

cl_radar_icon_scale_min

This command will make the icons on the radar smaller or bigger.

LEFT: cl_radar_icon_scale_min “0.4”
RIGHT: cl_radar_icon_scale_min “1.0”
Minimum: “0.4” // Maximum: “1.0”

cl_radar_rotate

If you don’t want the radar to rotate with you, you can turn off the radar rotation with this command.

LEFT: cl_radar_rotate “0”
RIGHT: cl_radar_rotate “1”
You can only choose between 0 and 1!

cl_radar_scale

This command allows you to scale the map up or down. It will allow you to either see less or more off the map.

LEFT: cl_radar_scale “0.25”
RIGHT: cl_radar_scale “1.0”
Minimum: “0.25” // Maximum: “1.0”

cl_hud_bomb_under_radar

This command will either activate or deactivate a small icon under your Radar which will tell you when you carry the bomb and when not. Since people often don’t realize they are carrying the bomb this command can come in quite handy.

RIGHT: cl_hud_bomb_under_radar “1”
You can only choose between 0 and 1!
