New Crosshair Tweaks

In case you haven’t seen this yet, one huge improvement this season is the ability to create more refined crosshairs. You can now adjust the thickness, size, length of your crosshairs to a .1 degree. So for example, if you used a size 4 dot before, you can now use a 4.1, 4.2, etc. Same goes for circle thickness, crosshair length, outline thickness and there is also now an “outline shift” function.

Major improvement and very appreciated.

This has been there for a long time… jus sayin.

I don’t think so, some of the options are new.

I’m 100% sure because I tweaked my reticle just a few days ago and some of those options weren’t there.

Ive been using those settings for a long time. All u had to do was hold a key down (i forget what it is on pc- but in ps5 its ‘x’) while u move the slider. If u move the slider without it held it would move from 8 to 7 to 6 etc… but if u hold the button down, there are 5 ticks between each number to further fine tune it.

Im legally blind— my crosshair size/thickness/color matters a great deal-- and i promise you its been there since b4 ow2

Maybe they made it more obvious or something… but its 100% been there.

Im glad you discovered it and its helping u tho =)

Interesting. I didn’t know about that slider thing on PC.

But was the "Outline Shift” option available before? I’ve never seen that and I tweak my reticle quite often.

Like making the outlines thicker or thinner? Yeah it was there… as well as dot sizing… and transparency sliders for dot, thickness and outline… and crosshair lengths too.

Im gonna log back on right now and make sure we are talkin apples to apples tho— i was tweaking it for bap earlier today cuz i havent played him in a while— and i saw nothing new… but ill go in rn and look

The decimal point being visible is new though. I didn’t know holding a key down would show the decimal point in the past. All I saw were whole numbers. Now we can see the decimal point.

Before:

So they def made the fact that there are smaller incriments wayyyy easier to see by adding the decimal point. B4, it would always jus say 5 or 6-- even if u were at 5.2 or 6.4 or whatever.

It also looke they they expanded the thickness threshold as whole. Before it stopped at 10 and it now goes much higher and can be thicker.

Outline shift does appear completly new tho-- i stand corrected on that. I must have had some “change blindness” and look right over it when i was in there earlier.

I cant really tell wtf its changing tho…

Yep i was jus comin in to say that. Its way easier to read now. Before it would always jus say 5… even if u were at 5.2 or 5.4

Yeah, I had no idea! It must be like you are saying, that it was there but that it wasn’t activated or something bc I’m 100% positive it wasn’t there til S5 for me. Meaning, it may have been there, but not active.

But yeah, it’s awesome! So much better.

Yeah, the stuff that I’m certain is “new” for me, or wasn’t previously activated are:

  • adjustments of integers in 10ths, instead of whole integers
  • Outline Thickness - totally new setting that wasn’t there at all previously
  • Outline Shift - same, brand new setting

So I don’t know if maybe I activated it by mistake, or if maybe it just became automatically activated for everyone starting S5

The outline stuff is new. The showing of decimal points are new… but they had em b4 jus were hidden. Its like they were jus rounding it And ahowing rhe round number but each had 5 decimal place available… jus cut that part off and rounded.

If you used the slider before… and held the button i mentioned. U could click through each number 5 times. For a 5, 5.2, 5.4. 5.6. 5.8, 6 type deal---- but it always just said 5 u would jus have to have seen that it was changing. Even tho they didnt actually display it.

Like in the settings it would slide from 5 to 5 to 5 to 5 to 5 to 6 if u held that down. All it ever said was the 5… but each of the steps did make it change in game- even tho it was displayed with the decimal point in the settings. It didnt need to be activated— it was jus hidden due to their lack of actually displayong the decimal.

In hindsight it was pretty ridiculous… seemed notmal to me b4 but now that they actual display the decimal and show ehats happening- its nuts they didnt before.

They also did expand it. Before there were only 5 steps to each level and the highest level was 10. So we had 50 levels… but it has 10 steps to each level (1.1, 1.2,1.3, etc— rather than 1.2,1.4,1.6,etc.) And the level cap is higher on many of the things…

So youre correct they did expand it dramatacilly AS well as actually showing the decimal now so ppl actually realize its there.

So good on them for finally gettin sumthin right i guess

Like i really jus noticed how ridiculous the way that had it b4 was when trying to explain it lol… they were straight up invisible settings in a way.

So much better now that we can see the decimal on the settings screen… and that they expanded it as a whole.

i wish i had a vid of old way i could post or something but i got no time machines kickin around. But i promise the options were there… jus unlabeled. The extra outline option is 100% new tho.
