Crosshair Suitable for High Mobility Heroes

A Dot Crosshair is Recommended for Snipers
When using a sniper, it is recommended to change the crosshair to a dot. For snipers aiming for headshots, crosshairs like crosses or circles can be distracting, so it's better to change it to a dot that doesn't show unnecessary elements.

How to Change Crosshair
Changeable from the Options Menu
You can change the crosshair by opening the Options menu and selecting the Control Settings. If you haven't set it, the default crosshair will be displayed, which varies depending on the character.
Recommended to set in the practice range
It is recommended to set the crosshair while observing actual shooting to make it easier to judge. Also, note that some characters may not have a changing crosshair, so make sure to check the display with multiple characters.

Features of Crosshair
Different display methods depending on the settings
Changing the settings of the crosshair will change the aiming display for shooting. With "Aiming" or "Circle" settings, the crosshair opens up depending on the spread of automatic weapons, allowing you to see the spread rate. With the "Dot" setting, the crosshair remains unchanged during shooting, but some people find it easier to see due to its minimalistic design.
