Vandal vs Phantom crosshair settings

The Vandal and Phantom reward the same basic habit: place your crosshair at head height before the fight begins. The difference is how much visual room you want around the first bullet and how much feedback you need while spraying. The crosshair should support that habit rather than compensate for poor placement.

Vandal: protect the first shot

Vandal players often prefer a tight, static cross because long-range taps are easier to read when the center is not crowded. Try inner length 3 or 4, offset 1 or 2, and thickness 1. A dot can work for disciplined taps, but short lines provide more spatial reference when clearing angles.

Phantom: keep the center readable during bursts

Phantom players may benefit from a slightly more open shape when controlling a burst or transferring between nearby targets. A small outer ring or a larger offset can make the center easier to find, but too much structure will cover heads at medium range. Test the profile while spraying at 15 to 25 meters, then retest with taps.

Shared rifle recommendations

• Use a static crosshair for ranked matches unless movement feedback is part of a deliberate training exercise.
• Choose a color that separates from common map backgrounds. Cyan, green, yellow, and red are useful starting points.
• Lower line length before lowering visibility. A crosshair that disappears cannot help your placement.
• Keep a second profile for the other rifle if you switch weapons often, then compare both using the same drill.
