What Color Reticle Are You Using?
Hmmm?
Forum Discussion
@Lord_Scorpion34 Sorry lol 😅
I just came from a 24 hour bender on Apex when I made that comment so had no sleep and was borderline in zombie mode...was happening a lot at the time as I had a lot of free time around then. My filters were all screwed up. All I meant was test things and see - I sometimes see a lot of bad advice with a lot of upvotes on certain comments. Sometimes...not always so keep that in mind.
Teal is imo the best color as it reasonably stands out against most things. Yellow / red for eg can melt into the ring at times a lil too much to my liking. Green goes into the background too easily sometimes. Teal I feel is a good balanced middle ground considering skins / background / ring colors. It just works for me, not 100%, but better then the rest at least - ymmv. But like I said, test and see. Another thing that might make a big difference to your experience are the color blind modes, some make the game look like crap but helps a lot with aim when coupled with the right reticle color.

@Sand_spitter I have not found a spot where yellow doesn't work for me but I always wanted the streamer bright blue but couldn't do it on console.
What settings do you use for teal?
What settings do you use for teal?
- @hayhor I'll get back to you, been upgrading my pc recently so wasn't paying much attention to console or Apex. Update is running currently. If you want I can give you my sens settings too - they are freaking murderous compared to my old settings in terms of accuracy once you get used to it 🙂
I use the bright yellow because, while not color blind, my color acuity is pretty bad. A lot of the popular colors like pink and teal blend into far too many things for me.
@pandareno1999pink/purple/dark blue is just terrible no matter how you look at it. You'll be concentrating so hard just to track it that every other aspect of the game just seems irrelevant. The colors in Apex are truly bad.
Edit - easiest fix is just a crosshair on your monitor tbh - sticky tape and a sharpie with a dot - Apex isn't doing much to improve it imo.
- @hayhor Ok so the mode I was using is protanopia. And the color on the reticle was simply the teal on the right hand side when selecting the option to change it. This mode will depend on individual preference so - test it, along with the others.
Cool thing also about protanopia is that it makes everything through the digi sight blue - which I love.
If you are struggling with color more than Apex adds I suspect your tv was never calibrated. Try RTings to see the optimal settings for your TV model during their tests. I usually use it as a starting point and make micro adjustments based on their settings and what I prefer. Any enhancement setting should be disabled - just read what they suggest. Another thing is turn any power saving mode off and backlight to 100% and obviously if you have a game mode to turn it on. Many people just plug and play....- @Sand_spitter So you use a color blind mode? I don't have an issue with colors really so I don't want to change the rest of the game. It bugs the crap out of me when streamers see the wrong colors for shields and health. I assumed you were changing your rgb for your reticle.
I used tritanopia for a long time, until it got messed up and you couldn't tell gold shield damage from flesh damage. It did help a bit with spotting colors at a distance. I liked what it looked like, but I got used to the default colors after a while and I prefer it now even though they eventually did fix tritanopia. The first time I watched someone playing on protanopia, that blue freaked me out!
