Tip:To equip and draw the weapon for quick work, developers can bind this command to a specific key. For instance, typing bind "X" "impulse 81"; "use weapon_cubemap" will bind it to the X key. (You may need to press it twice the first time you use it in a map.)
Tip:Changing weapon_cubemap's viewmodel to an invisible model (such as blackout.mdl) can be an easy method of hiding the players HUD and weapon at the same time without needing player_speedmod.
Note:
does have it in a working condition but needs the model from another game

weapon_cubemap is a model entity available in Half-Life 2 series, 
Portal series, and 
Portal 2: Community Edition.
This entity gives the player a set of spheres 
models/shadertest/envballs.mdl, each with different reflective surfaces. It is used for checking cubemaps.
The commands to get it (typed into the console) are either impulse 81 or give weapon_cubemap.
These commands are considered cheats, meaning that sv_cheats must be enabled for them to work.
You can switch to this weapon (after having received it) by typing use weapon_cubemap.
Tip:To equip and draw the weapon for quick work, developers can bind this command to a specific key. For instance, typing bind "X" "impulse 81"; "use weapon_cubemap" will bind it to the X key. (You may need to press it twice the first time you use it in a map.)Tip:Changing weapon_cubemap's viewmodel to an invisible model (such as blackout.mdl) can be an easy method of hiding the players HUD and weapon at the same time without needing player_speedmod.Note: does have it in a working condition but needs the model from another gameWorkarounds
If your game does not have weapon_cubemap, rifle scopes could be used, such as the hunting rifle in 
Left 4 Dead 2, the AWP in 
CS:GO or the crossbow in 
Black Mesa, as alternatives.
Community mods have been made to implement it into games that do not support it natively:
Team Fortress 2: Create a VScript file named 
weapon_cubemap.nutinsidetf/scripts/vscripts/, paste in the following code and then typescript_execute weapon_cubemapand switch to melee.
local player = GetListenServerHost() local cubemap = "models/shadertest/envballs.mdl" PrecacheModel(cubemap) for (local i = 0; i < 8; i++) { local weapon = NetProps.GetPropEntityArray(player, "m_hMyWeapons", i) if (weapon && weapon.GetSlot() == 2) weapon.SetCustomViewModel(cubemap) }
