Why Do CS2 Gamers Change FOV?
In CS2, adjusting the FOV (Field of View) isn’t about seeing more of the game world but rather how much of the weapon and character model is shown on your screen.
Changing the FOV can impact visibility by reducing how much space the weapon takes up, which helps keep your view clearer during intense situations.
Players often tweak the FOV to find a setting that minimizes visual distractions and suits their preferences.
The right FOV value can give you a better overview, making it easier to focus on the action.

Expert Take
“You can change your field of view in the settings or with simple commands. The meta default FOV is 90. A wider FOV helps you see more, but don’t make it so wide that it feels weird. Test what feels right for you.” – Pawel ‘Biegan’ Bieganowski
