Customizable Crosshairs?

[Wereriche]

Just wanna ask if there's a way to customize the crosshair? Something like what CSGO or Overwatch does?

The default white crosshair is not doing it for me :(

Nope, there used to be a mod that made them completely opaque which was nice; but it's not working anymore afaik.

I'm hoping a modder will make a crosshair customizer at some point.

Have you considered crosshair overlay programs?

I always love it when my monitor comes with 20 different "gaming" overlays that just add giant crosshairs and scopes that do nothing but obscure my vision.

What always baffles my mind is that 99% of FPS games come with crosshairs already, adding more does nothing but take up space. Who are these overlays even for?

I was thinking more of the free software type that just render a custom crosshair over the game image, which is nice if you don't like a given game's crosshair.

Other uses in other games are often for giving guns that don't have a crosshair (like a lot of sniper rifles when unzoomed) a crosshair to have an advantage.

You would still have to disable the in-game crosshair so it doesn't get in the way of the new one, which a lot of games don't let you do without also disabling other HUD elements. Just seems counterintuitive to me.

I would personally just want a standard nice and simple small crosshair WITHOUT bloom. I've never been a fan of big crosshairs and I most certainly do not like bloom, so I guess this is one negative for me with this game.

I wouldnt use it but I also think current crosshairs have room for improvements

Even if you can't turn it off, it's usually not hard to just cover it up.

I don't use them very often myself, unless I really can't stand a specific crosshair.

Typically, my biggest gripe is about opacity, I like my crosshair opaque so it doesn't blend in with the background. I'd use an overlay for DRG, but then you have to run it in windowed fullscreen mode; and it just doesn't seem to run right for me like that.

play without one, way more fun

I prefer to be able hit what I was aiming at...

But yea, I'm currently using Hudsight so I can put a yellow dot on my screen. Makes a lot of difference for me.👍
