    Anything that creates an overlay on top of your game could be bannable if it's not explicitly permitted.

    @d3adst1ck Plenty of gaming monitors have a crosshair option. How is that any different?

    @jmx1258 One is hardware and the other one hooks into the game render pipeline through software.

    Anyways, you asked a question and I answered it. It doesn't matter what you think is the same or different or should be allowed. The answer is that having an overlay hooking into the game is potentially bannable.

    @d3adst1ck Well thanks for your feedback. I was asking a question and I wasn't saying whether I not I thought they were the same. I was asking another question....

    Crosshairs are against ToS, as are macros because they are 3rd party programs.

    @jmx1258 my best advice is to open a support ticket and ask there. There are way too many different apps to post a list about each one for each game from a company.

    My vote would be those are just fine, it doesn't touch the game program, memory, network communication, or game inputs.

    That being said, Rare support will give you the best and only answer that really matters.

    I wouldn't use it for better safe than sorry account purposes but also because it's not very sportsmanlike imo

    Personally I play in hard mode where I get these little specks on my screen of dust or dirt that make me see birds that aren't there and make even worse shots than I already do

    My advice to you is do not use macros or cross hairs. You shouldn't need them anyway.

    Omg you too?!

    If there's one thing SoT is very good at, is letting me know if I need to wipe down my monitor.

    Get some poster sticky or a little bit of silly putty put it where the cross hairs would go 😜

    Way I see it. If you have to ask about allowing the use of a program that “helps” you compare o others who don’t use it. When the game itself doesn’t already have it.

    Don’t use it.

    If your monitor has crosshair, you can use it. Is not a 3rd program and nobody can check if you are using it or not unless you are streaming.

    Well, the way I see it is that unless Rare said it’s not allowed it would be fine. Crosshairs X is a widget for the Xbox Game Bar on PC. It doesn’t interact with the game at all, it just puts a dot or an x wherever you want on your monitor.

    I think the only thing a crosshair would be helpful for is harpoon.

    Ahoy!

    Dropping anchor here. Let's not encourage others to break ToS.

    Anything that gives you an advantage in-game CAN get you reported and moderation action can be taken against your account.

    TLDR: Better not to risk it.

    Thanks,
