Changing your FOV in CS:GO isn't as straightforward as in some other games, but you can adjust your view a bit through the console. First, you gotta enable the developer console from the game settings. Once that's done, hit the tilde key (`~`) to open it up, and type `viewmodel_fov` followed by your desired FOV number. The default is 60, but you can increase it to your liking, though remember, it won't change your gameplay FOV, just the positioning of your gun.

No can do, buddy. CS:GO doesn't let you change the gameplay FOV. It's locked to ensure fair play. You can tweak your gun's look with `viewmodel_fov`, but that's about it. Fair is fair, right?

Actually, you can't truly change the FOV in CS:GO like in other games. What you're adjusting is just the viewmodel's FOV, which affects how much of your weapon and arms you see, not how much of the map is visible. It's more about cosmetics than actual gameplay advantage.
