cg_muzzleFlash

Displays a bright flash at the muzzle of your weapon when firing. Most competitive players disable this to eliminate self-induced visual distraction and keep their crosshair area as clean as possible.

💡

Pro Tip

Turn it OFF — the self-flash from your own gun is the #1 reason pros miss follow-up shots during rocket or LG spam; removing it keeps your crosshair perfectly clear.
