Counter-Strike 2 shooter is loved among other things for the fact that the developers have given players the opportunity to customize the game for themselves. This is accomplished through settings and console commands. In today's article we will tell you how to make the left hand in KS2: by default, the weapon is displayed on the right.
Is it possible to change the hand that holds the weapon in KS2?
Yes, in this shooter you can change the main hand with the weapon. This feature was returned to Counter-Strike 2 at the end of April 2024. The ability to turn the gun on with the left hand was very convenient for left-handed shooters, as well as for those who like a non-standard pistol or shotgun layout. Of course, this function cannot compare in popularity with the sight setting, but it was useful in situations when there was a need to control the territory on the right.
After CS:GO transformed into Counter-Strike 2, this function was removed. Fortunately, as we wrote above, it did return.
In an early version of the game left hand in KS2 was switched using the console command cl_righthand, which is responsible for the active hand. Now, in order to change it, you need to go into the game settings and make certain changes.
