Crosshair & Sensitivity Settings Guide
How to open the crosshair menu, the recommended sensitivity values, and the color and style choices that keep your aim consistent.
Overview
Your crosshair and sensitivity are the two biggest accuracy levers in the game, and most new players run defaults that are far too twitchy. This guide shows you exactly where the menu is, what values experienced players use, and how to keep your aim consistent across every map.
How to Change Your Crosshair (Full Guide)
This video walks through opening the settings menu, finding the crosshair option on the side bar, and customising colour, style, and toggle. Follow along to match your in-game menu to the steps below.
How to Open and Adjust the Crosshair Menu
The crosshair menu is tucked behind the settings cog, so many players never find it. These four steps take you from default to a custom aim in under a minute.
Find the settings cog
Look near the items button at the top of the screen and select the gear icon to open the settings menu.
Locate the crosshair option
Scroll the side bar until you see the crosshair option, then select it to jump to the customisation panel.
Set color and style
Pick a high-contrast color and a clean style that stays visible against every map's background.
Tune sensitivity
Adjust the sensitivity percentage until tracking feels smooth; lower is usually better for precise sniping.
Recommended Starting Values
These values are a starting point used by many experienced players. Treat them as a baseline and nudge up or down based on how your tracking feels in real matches.
| Setting | Recommended | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity | Low to medium % | Lower for precision, higher for flicking |
| Crosshair style | Small dot or cross | Stays visible at range |
| Crosshair color | Cyan or green | High contrast on most maps |
| Crosshair toggle | On | Never disable it |
| Aim sensitivity | Slightly lower | For scoped steadiness |
Crosshair Style Picks by Playstyle
Different crosshair shapes suit different playstyles. Use this as a quick reference when you are staring at the customisation panel.
Single Dot
Minimal clutter, great for precise one-taps at range.
Small Cross
Balances precision with visibility, the most popular pick.
Circle
Helps visualise spread for newer aimers learning to track.
Color Choice
Cyan or green pops on almost every map background in the game.
Pairing Crosshair With Flicking
Your crosshair setting directly affects how the flicking technique feels. A lower sensitivity with a small crosshair rewards fast, confident flicks, while a high sensitivity makes small corrections harder.
Once your crosshair feels right, spend ten minutes a day on flick drills. Combined with the movement guide, this is the fastest path to a noticeably better aim within a week.
Common Settings Mistakes
Avoid these settings errors that quietly sabotage your aim across every match you play.
- Leaving sensitivity at the default high value and never questioning it
- Choosing a crosshair colour that blends into common map backgrounds
- Turning the crosshair off and relying only on the scope
- Changing settings every match instead of sticking with one for a week
- Ignoring aim sensitivity, which behaves differently from look sensitivity
