Dot – Single dot reticle

Try each type to see which you prefer. Circle and Dot styles are popular for precision.

Customizing Your Crosshair

Under Advanced Reticle Settings you can customize:

Color – Make it easier to see against backgrounds
Thickness – Thinner crosshairs allow clearer target view
Length – Shorter is better for accuracy
Gap – Wider gaps suit explosive weapons
Opacity – Lower opacity prevents visual clutter

Experiment to find your ideal settings. Bright neon colors often work best.

Crosshairs for Each Hero

You can set different crosshairs for each hero in Overwatch 2:

Select the orange “Change Hero” box at the top right of the Reticle screen
Choose a hero to customize their crosshair specifically

Tweak crosshairs to suit each hero’s weapon and playstyle.

Aiming Accuracy Setting

Enabling “Show Accuracy” makes your crosshair expand when firing less accurately. This can be useful for learning weapon spread patterns.

However, most players leave this disabled as the changing crosshair can be visually distracting.

Best Crosshair Recommendations

Some top crosshair settings include:

Dot – Precise, no clutter
Small Circle – Clear view of targets
Circle + Dot – Good for Zarya, Mei, Moira
Crosshairs – Easy to aim, versatile

Go with smaller crosshairs for heroes like Widowmaker, Ana, or Hanzo who need pinpoint accuracy. Larger crosshairs suit heroes with explosive weapons like Pharah or Junkrat.

Testing Your Crosshair

Before playing competitively with a new crosshair, test it out against bots or in the practice range to get used to it. Make minor tweaks until you find your ideal settings.

Conclusion

Customizing your crosshair to suit your playstyle and hero choices can really improve your accuracy. Don’t be afraid to experiment until you discover your perfect crosshair!
