XANTARES sensitivity and CSGO settings in 2021

Replicating the insane play style of star Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player İsmailсan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş is nearly impossible, but skilled players can begin a good effort by learning from XANTARES’ in-game settings. 

Every dedicated CSGO player is well aware of the infamous XANTARES peek, also known as Ferrari peek. The 26-year-old has annihilated some of the best CSGO players in the world with his quick movement and fast reactions. The Turkish player quickly became synonymous with lightning-quick plays, creating a new “XANTARES peek” label in the world of competitive CSGO. 

Competitive CSGO players have tons of XANTARES peek label groups that they use before entering ranked games in hopes of landing highlight-worthy shots. While putting a tag before alias might not help a lot, switching to XANTARES’ CSGO settings could be a game-changer. 

It is worth noting that copying someone else’s settings won’t drastically deliver results since sensitivity and similar settings should be left on personal preference. You may want to practice and adjust to the changes. Xantares’ high kill rate is mainly attributed to his unique play style, and that is undeniably tough to replicate. However, his in-game settings might help players to improve or just to change things up a bit.

What is a Ferrari peek in CSGO? 

A wide swing peek with an instant headshot is sometimes known as the Ferrari peek. This usually happens when a player is jiggle-peeking and toying with tight movement tactics such as crouching or counter-strafing. 

The Ferrari peek is a way of picking off an enemy by wide peeking instead of being cautious about leaving cover. Players often find clear angles from heavy cover and try to hide behind walls while they peek. While this is a reasonable method, the Ferrari peek requires maximum exposure, meaning that you’re putting yourself at full risk when trying to make this exciting play.
