    Crosshairs/Reticle Overlay Variety Pack || Take my money plz $£$£

    Would honestly pay for any of these over the LMG reticle:

    Or these on AR/SMG:
    (Without all of the outer rings to avoid clutter)

    If a couple were lootable and a couple were paid.
    I'm down for sure.

    Anybody?

    Take a look anyway 👀


    In the form of Contact lenses or something

    I would be open to pretty much any minor HUD customization through these means.

    Pay so when you aim it looks different?
    That's a huge negative Ramos for me.

    Seems like a waste, don't you think? I understand its appeal in first person shooters, but third person shooters? Idk...

    Why though?

    I don't see how having 3-4 different reticles for each gun archetype is a problem.

    If anything, it's kind of strange that every gun has the same one.

    I didn't want to mess with that though.

    Just offer alternatives to a market that might want it.

    We currently pay/loot for every other cosmetic aspect of the game right now.

    Did alternative jackets cause a problem for you as well? Or are you implying they would grant edge somehow?

    That's not a fair comparison.
    It'd be more like paying for different colour shoe laces; or maybe just the tips of the laces.

    My opinion,
    I don't see myself ever caring about a different shape reticle.
    And paying for one? That's a Massive no thanks.

    The paid aspect is to offset production cost of each animation.
    Not to lock them behind a pay-wall.

    Just like all of the stuff right now man.

    It's fine that you don't want them personally.
    More power to you.

    I was hoping you would defend your position with something substantive though.

    People pay for all of the examples you just gave.
    IRL and in game some times, people buy a shoe for the laces on said shoes/the way the two are combined.

    I'm not saying it's logical. I'm just saying that the market is undeniably there.


    This however is something that might make some people feel more connected to their weapon and play more or feel happier about their experience while doing so.

    (Continuing from your shoe analogy, you can't even see the character's shoes in heavy gameplay but people buy all of them.

    The market for something in the middle of your screen ad-infinitum?)


    One could definitely argue that pink guns was a frivolous investment of time as well but for some people there is nothing better than being able to make your gun all the colours.

    I'm all in for customizable crosshairs, especially as some of them value aesthetics over function way too much (looking at you, pistol, lmb and sniper reticles).

    At the very least players should be able to use a single reticle regardless of weapon type.

    This ^^

    Coyote and OP are right.

    Plus, IMO, after 1000+ hours in it would be really nice to change every once in a while.

    May be biased as I'm currently running the Smiley-Smirk pink skin 😂...but there is a lot of objectively factual info in this thread as well.

    Deff see a couple I fancy already.

    I thought about this for a while but wasn't sure if the application of Semi-auto Lenses to Full Autos would translate well.

    Also
    I figured 3 Lenses per gun type would allow them to avoid having to code duplicates of each existing reticle for each different weapon.

    Thus saving a bit of work while still giving us the options.

    I don't mind though. Just saying why I didn't suggest it myself.

    See any you like though?
    Link me, I love this stuff.
