Best Crosshair Color Settings in Apex Legends 2023

You can finally change the crosshair color in Apex Legends. Find out exactly how to customize the crosshair color to make your enemies more visible in the Apex games.

Over the years, Apex Legends introduced a lot of quality-of-life improvements for different players with distinct color profiles dedicated to different types of color blindness. Seems like Respawn has decided to give players more options to customize the color of their crosshairs for both colorblind and casual players.

In Season 11’s Raiders collection event update in Apex Legends, Respawn finally added the highly requested crosshair color customization option. As Apex Legends take place in multiple maps with different biomes, it can be difficult to track your opponents while using the default colored crosshair settings.
