Where to find it in the menu

Visuals  →  Players  →  Boxes and skeleton / Bars / Loadout / Status / Model highlight / Glow / Other

The page is split into tabs at the top.

How to enable

1. Menu (Insert) → Visuals → Players.
2. The header toggle of the page turns all player ESP on and off. On by default.
3. Each element (card) has its own header toggle and a Show on row: enemies, allies or both teams.
4. By default the following are on for enemies: health bar, health text, name, weapon in hand, equipment, grenades and all statuses except "Throwing", as well as model highlight. The "HE damage" status is on by default for both enemies and allies. Boxes, skeleton, ammo and glow are off.

What it does

• Draws elements around every living player except you. Each element is placed on its own side of the player (top, bottom, left, right); elements on the same side line up one after another.
• Works through walls: boxes, skeleton, bars, labels and icons are drawn on all living players regardless of whether they are visible. Only model highlight and glow distinguish between "visible" and "behind walls" — there these are simply different colors and styles.
• While the buy menu or the pause menu (Esc) is open, and also when you are not on a server, boxes, bars, labels and icons are not drawn. Glow also disappears in the buy menu.
• Safe mode does not restrict ESP: all elements work with the mode on.
• Each element has its own colors for enemies and allies. By default boxes, skeleton and bars are red for enemies and green for allies, text is white.
• Dynamic color on the box and health bar takes its color from the player's remaining health.
• Health text: health (87), percent (87%) or health and max (87 / 100).
• Weapon — the icon of the weapon in hand. When the weapon changes, the icon switches with an animation. It can work as a magazine indicator: the icon "empties" as ammo is used. When the player holds a grenade with the pin pulled, the icon is recolored (light green by default).
• Ammo: in the magazine, magazine and reserve, magazine and spare magazines, reserve only, or spare magazines only.
• Equipment — icons of the defuse kit and the bomb, if the player has them. Armor is not shown here.
• Grenades — icons of the grenades the player has.
• Status — a separate line for each status, each with its own color and position:
  • Immune — spawn protection, with the remaining time;
  • Planting and Defusing — with the remaining time;
  • Throwing — the player is holding a grenade with the pin pulled;
  • Flashed — with the remaining flash time;
  • Reloading;
  • Scoped — the player is looking through a scope;
  • HE damage — how much health the HE grenades already in the air will take off the player when they go off, for example "HE -57". If the blast can kill the player, the line is drawn in the "Lethal color". The damage is worked out on the Grenades page (the "HE damage" card on the "Thrown grenades" tab): with that card or tab off, there is no line.
  The time is written in parentheses, for example "Flashed (2.3s)".
• Model highlight (chams) recolors player models in the chosen style — separately for visible players and for those behind walls. On by default for enemies: visible — green rim glow, behind walls — red.
• Glow — a colored outline around the player model, with different colors for visible players and those hidden behind obstacles. Off by default.

Preview and dragging

The page has a preview with a player model. On it you can:

• drag elements with the mouse to another side or swap them with neighboring ones; text lines can be "attached" to the health bar;
• change them with the mouse wheel (font size, bar thickness, icon size);
• right-click to open the element's settings.

FAQ

I turned on wh but don't see anything. Check in order:

1. Visuals → Players → the header toggle of the page is on. It turns everything off at once: elements, model highlight and player glow.
2. At least one element is on — the header toggle of its card. Boxes, skeleton, ammo and glow are off by default; bars and health text, name, weapon, equipment, grenades, statuses and model highlight are on.
3. The right team is selected in "Show on". By default everything is set to Enemies only — nothing is shown on allies until you select Allies. If you deselect both teams, the element turns off.
4. You are on a server, and the buy menu and pause menu (Esc) are closed — ESP is not drawn over them.

Safe mode has nothing to do with it: it does not block ESP. You don't need to separately turn on "through walls" — the elements are already visible through walls.

Is ESP visible through walls? Yes. Boxes, bars, name and the other elements are drawn on all living players, whether they are visible or not. Model highlight has its own style and color for players behind walls (the "Behind walls" card), and glow has its own "Behind obstacles" color.

Does Safe mode disable ESP? No. In CS2, Safe mode only restricts the aimbot, triggerbot, backtrack and recoil control — see Safe mode.

I turned on ESP, but there are no boxes. Boxes and skeleton are off by default. Boxes and skeleton tab → turn on the header toggle of the Boxes (or Skeleton) card.

ESP is shown only on enemies. In the element's card, also select "Allies" in "Show on".

How do I move the name / health bar to another side? Change "Position" in the element's card or drag the element with the mouse in the preview.

The box / health bar color doesn't change. "Dynamic color" is on (or the bar has the "Gradient" style) — the color is taken from health. Turn it off or set the "Solid" style, and team colors will appear.

How do I remove the colored model highlight (chams)? Model highlight tab → General settings card → turn off its header toggle. Or set "Highlight style → Off" only in "Visible" or "Behind walls".
