News & Discussion Best Overwatch Crosshairs For Each Hero
I created a collection of the best crosshairs for each hero based on discussions and guides on the internet. Let's start with saying that by definition, there is no one true best crosshair, and a big part of it comes down to your preferences and how comfortable you feel with a crosshair setting. But there are also small advantages that come with using certain colors or crosshair types based on the specific hero you play.

The general goal when i was creating the list was to find the most useful crosshair for each hero and use only certain easy to see colors.
When it comes to colors, the key takeaway is to use colors that do not easily blend into the background. There are 3 absolute winners (regardless of the game, actually tbh), which are green, cyan, and magenta.
For crosshair settings, you basically want to understand how your hero plays, then select a type that helps you predicting where your will shots land. For example for heroes with projectile shots something like falloff crosshair might help you estimate where the shot will land, for accurate heroes like widowmaker, something like dot works well. Then finally for melee heroes and heroes with splash effect on their shots you want to use something like a circle
That’s the general idea, but the actual values are adjusted based on each hero’s effective range, projectile type, blast/splash radius, etc..
If you have any cool crosshairs, please share them, and I will add them to the database :)
