Tips

Static crosshairs (style 4) are preferred by most competitive players because they provide consistent visual reference
A smaller crosshair improves precision for headshots at longer ranges
Green or cyan colors offer the best visibility on most map surfaces
Outlines help the crosshair stand out against varying backgrounds
Enable cl_crosshair_friendly_warning to see when your crosshair is on a teammate
