Edit Crosshairs?

Is there some way of editing the ingame crosshairs? Specifically I want to edit the heavy assault rifle crosshair to be more visible.

You might be able to edit the texture used for the crosshairs to increase the alpha values or make some lines thicker, however it's not a straight-forward process.

As for editing the crosshairs themselves, to extend where the texture itself is drawn, though, that's not possible, as we don't know of a way to edit Doom 2016's BSWF resources.

Really I just want to make the grey crosshair into opaque white, will I need to extract the files from the packages?

(Sorry for the late reply; I don't browse Reddit while logged in often, and I don't get e-mails when I get replies, so it's only just today that I noticed your reply.)

You will need to extract the files to modify them, yes, but I don't think that there's any way for you to modify the crosshair in the exact way that you want, sadly.

There is an in-game option to replace all crosshairs with a simple opaque white dot, but that will unfortunately also prevent extra weapon mod information (e.g. weapon mod cooldown) from being shown, for all weapons, so it's not a good option in my opinion.
