Crosshair

From the thread "Прицел" ("Crosshair", 2011), where players looked for a crosshair in KF1:

  • Many spent a long time searching the settings for a crosshair, then got used to shooting without one, from the hip, and considered that an advantage.
  • The "complex scope" and "simple scope" options in the settings, according to a reply in the thread, apply to the crossbow scope.
  • For distant targets, bind ironsights to a convenient key. With the Deagle, a very short right-click tap is enough to correct your "own eye".
  • The head hitbox is forgiving: you do not have to aim strictly inside the head outline; being in front of the zed and shooting straight is enough.
  • Third-party programs draw a dot in the center of the screen (ARDDS and AIM were mentioned), but part of the forum considered a crosshair for KF a hack and did not trust the "crosshair" file packs.

Windows Settings
