How to Get a Custom Crosshair in Rust (3 Best Legal Ways)

Playing Rust without a crosshair can be quite difficult for some players, especially when suddenly there is an enemy next to you, it is very difficult to shoot without a crosshair or without seeing your crosshair. After the latest updates to Rust, the game has its own crosshair setting, but this crosshair can be difficult to see for some players who are color-blind or have eye disorders.

So thanks to this article you will be able to use the best custom crosshairs while using your best weapons in Rust and completely legally.

Way #1: Get Custom Crosshair with Cursor.CC

Cursor.CC is actually a mouse cursor modification site and is very easy to use. We are going to exploit this site a bit and customize our cursor as a custom crosshair and create a crosshair by sticking our mouse cursor in Rust.

Here are the steps you need to follow to apply this method.

  1. Starting from the middle of the canvas, we draw our crosshair in a color that we can easily see in the game and then select Download Cursor.

1

  1. Then open the Windows search bar, type Mouse Settings, and in the window that opens go to Additional Mouse Settings.

2

  1. In the Pointers section, select Browse and choose the file you downloaded.

3

  1. Now enter Rust and you will notice that you cannot see your crosshair without opening your inventory. In order for it to appear, we need to bug our mouse cursor. To do this, open your Discord Overlay or the NVIDIA overlay by pressing Alt + Z and hit ALT + TAB to lower the game.

  1. Then when you bring the game back up you will see that your mouse is stuck and you can see your crosshair.

It's not a perfect method, but it was the most used crosshair setting before the crosshair setting came to Rust. The best thing about using Cursor.CC is that you can quickly create a crosshair as you want, the downside is that you will have to deal with throwing the game to ALT + TAB every time.

Way #2: Get Custom Crosshair with Crosshair V2

This custom crosshair app is the free version of the paid Crosshair X. If you want to get the job done without paying for crosshair, this option is for you.

Crosshair V2 is a whitelist application and there is no possibility of getting banned so it can be used with peace of mind. There are many different custom crosshairs and different color options. You can use this application not only in Rust but also in many other games.

Here are the steps you need to follow to apply this method.

  1. Enter the Microsoft Store and search for Crosshair V2 and download the app.

  1. When you open the app, your crosshair will appear in the center of your monitor, and on the top right, you will have options to change Color, Size, and Crosshair shape you can customize it according to your needs.

6

That's how easy Crosshair V2 is to install and use, and it works in many games other than Rust.

Way #3: Get Custom Crosshair with Crosshair X

Crosshair X is the paid version of Crosshair V2. This version will be a great option for players who want more control and customization on their crosshairs. Unlike Crosshair V2, in this app, you can customize your crosshair in much more detail. Even better, you can get Crosshair X from the Microsoft Store or Steam. The Steam price of the app is $7.99.

Here are the steps you need to follow to apply this method.

  1. Buy the app from Steam or Microsoft Store.
  2. And customize your beautiful crosshair as you like.

It's as simple as that. The biggest advantage of using Crosshair X is that you can customize your crosshairs much better than other apps, and it's right at your fingertips on Steam.

Thanks to these beautiful crosshairs, you will maximize your PvP experience, and win many fights that you normally cannot win, and your best Crossbow skins in Rust will no longer be wasted because even your primitive weapon skills will improve.
