    @Zelus71   I think you're referring to your FOV (field of view).

    Go to options, display, video and then field of view. Then lower your FOV and your crosshair will get bigger. 

    The following pics are the difference between 89 (which is the FOV I run at and 50 FOV (lowest setting)  

    Its important to remember a lower FOV like 50 will have much more perceived recoil than a higher number.

    Can't be FOV because my friend i play with has a way bigger crosshair than mine even with the same FOV as well as people on twitch/youtube.

    @Zelus71Are you comparing the same shotguns? All 3 have different crosshair size. 880MCS having the smallest circle out of the 3 shotguns.

    Also resolution matters. Comparing 1080p vs 1440p vs 4k can have an impact on UI sizing.

    Just have your friend send you a screenshot and we can compare to that.

    @Zelus71 Cross hair size also changes with the ammunition set. Buckshot is a large circle, slugs are a small dot. Different ammo will dictate your crosshairs, are you and your buddy using the same shotty and same ammo?
  • Everything is the complete same as they live with me and we use same monitor and the resolutions are the same in game and in windows. I mentioned before even with 0 attachments or the same attachments the problem still persists. I have also noticed another problem today since we both tried the thermal scope that my thermal scope is grainy and his is very clear to see enemies so i wonder if the two are linked?

    I never used shotguns because the crosshair was so small, but looking at footage on Youtube, I think all my crosshairs are smaller.

    I am playing on 1080p, don't use DLSS and with an FOV of 82. I tried changing most settings, bot nothing seems to help.

    Changing the FOV to 50 makes the crosshair a little bit bigger but not by much.

    Honestly, I would love to have a smaller crosshair because it doesn't cover everything and makes it easier to see the target. That said it seem weird that some have this issue while others don't.

  • It barley changes while moving. Watching more stuff on Youtube, I think for everything except shotguns my smaller crosshair is preferable, so I am not sure if I even want it fixed :D

    Weird that I never noticed it, since it has been like that since launch.

    @AlphaNUSSSo I've tried re-creating that screenshot on Redacted as close as possible. But I'm playing on a totally different resolution/aspect ratio. Its 3840x1600p 21:9 vs standard 1080p 16:9. Same "FOV".

    Here are the screenshots side by side. It's hard to tell really. My does appear to look "bigger" judging by the area circle takes, but it can be anything from aspect ratio to actual resolution shrinking things that are further away.
