Customizing your Marvel Rivals crosshairs can be quite important if you want to improve your aim with certain characters. With every hero having such different weapons and abilities - guns, lasers, claws, fists, webs, magic, and more - the default crosshairs don't always cut it. Thankfully, Marvel Rivals has extremely thorough reticle customization options, letting you create your own crosshairs for each character or can import some made by other players.

Changing your crosshair isn't going to lead to a night-and-day skill difference that gets you all the way to Celestial or Eternity in ranked, but it might act as a personal quality-of-life improvement for your main or a character you're trying to improve with - you might have also heard Marvel Rivals mouse acceleration complicating things too. To help you find an option that suits you, here’s how you can edit your crosshair in Marvel Rivals and import others.

Changing your Marvel Rivals crosshair is relatively easy to do with the options located under the Keyboard tab in Settings. Look for the HUD section, where the first set of options revolve around customizing your crosshair.

The shape you want to build on is probably the most important decision you’ll make so to choose that, select the Reticle Type drop-down menu. This will let you choose between Circle, Crosshairs, Dot, and Circle and Crosshairs - try them all and figure out which one you like.

From here you'll be able to mold the crosshair further. There are options to adjust width, outline width, opacity, outline opacity, blur, center gap, circle radius, crosshair length, crosshair angle, and color.

Obviously there is a lot of choice here, so it's best to play with all the options outside of a game so you're not AFK while other people are playing. Instead, make adjustments in the practice range so you can try everything out without impacting other players.

If you'd rather use a Marvel Rivals crosshair created by someone else, you can import a crosshair style by entering the shareable code. Note that this feature is available only to PC players - PS5 and Xbox Series X players must instead manually recreate a custom crosshair by copying the parameters and slider settings. Here's how you import Marvel Rivals crosshairs:

  1. Open Settings > Keyboard > Combat.
  2. Scroll down to the HUD section and click the 'Import Save' icon on the Reticle Save option. This brings up the Import Reticle text box.
  3. Type or paste in a reticle code. This will be a long line of characters and numbers that configure the crosshairs to replicate someone else’s settings.
  4. Click confirm to recreate the custom reticle. It'll automatically be saved as one of your reticle options under the reticle dropdown list.

Conveniently, you can set different crosshairs for different heroes as well. To do so, at the top left of the settings, you will see a button that says ‘All Heroes’, but you can click this to change to any other character, affecting settings only for them, which includes crosshairs.

Not every character has the same aiming needs, so this is excellent for optimizing your crosshairs for certain characters. For example, having a dot is useful on a sniper character like Black Widow or Hawkeye where you want to aim for a character’s head. However, that may be a little small when you want to spray with Jeff the Land Shark, or shoot in cones like Star-Lord, where a circle might be of more use. Lastly, for melee characters, such as Iron Fist, Hulk, and Magik, you might want an even larger crosshair that more accurately reflects their damage hitboxes.
