r_picmip
Controls the level of detail for map textures. Increasing flattens to clay (easy spot enemies); 0 sharp. Pros usually use 5 or above to smooth out map textures in order to see enemy models easier.
💡
Pro Tip
Set to 12–16 like Cypher — turning the map into flat solid colors makes enemy models literally pop out like neon signs against the background, giving you a massive tracking advantage.
