Overwatch 2 Crosshairs: How to Customise Yours

1 min read

A crosshair that is too thick can hide a small target. Here is where the customisation options live and how per-hero profiles work.

Overwatch 2 crosshairs are fully customisable from the settings menu, and getting them right matters more than most players give it credit for — a crosshair that's too thick can hide small targets.

Where to change them

Open Options → Controls and find the crosshair section. From there you can adjust:

  • Colour — including a custom colour picker, not just presets.
  • Size and thickness — separate sliders, so a thin crosshair doesn't have to be tiny.
  • Centre dot — on/off, with its own size and opacity.
  • Outline — a black or coloured border that helps a crosshair stand out against bright maps.
  • Opacity — useful if you want something visible but not distracting.

Per-hero profiles

You can save different crosshair setups per hero, which matters more for some heroes than others — a hitscan pick like Ashe or Widowmaker benefits from a tighter, more precise crosshair than a projectile hero where you're leading shots anyway.

Copying a pro's settings

Codes and shared presets floating around online only cover colour and shape — sensitivity is a separate setting entirely, so copying a crosshair alone won't copy someone's aim.
