The Viewmodel depicts your gun’s position on the screen. While you can just rock the default view model and call it a day, some players might prefer a bit of customization. You can customize your Viewmodel using Crashz’s Viewmodel Map or by configuring it through the console. You can also use a professional’s ViewModel, such as m0NESY’s, which is shown here.

Simply copy and paste this code into your console, and you will be set.
