Overwatch 2 Season 9 introduces significant updates to the game's competitive aspect, with the addition of new crosshairs being a default expectation. Below, I will provide information about the new crosshair reticles, colors, and styles in Overwatch 2 Season 9.

New crosshair styles, colors, and reticles in Overwatch 2 Season 9

Overwatch 2 Season 9 brings you five new crosshair reticle types, reticle dots, and six new reticle color options.

While I typically prefer the traditional crosshair, the box, triwing, square, and line reticle types are good choices which will not hinder your gameplay. When it comes to crosshair dots, you can't go wrong with any of them, so you can go ahead and customize them to your liking.

How to use the Overwatch 2 Season 9 heart crosshair

The heart crosshair dot is one of the most popular choices among the Overwatch 2 community. While it may initially appear as a humorous new Easter egg in Overwatch 2 Season 9, the heart crosshair in Overwatch 2 is actually quite practical.

You can use it instead of any dot-sized or smaller scaled crosshairs, and you will find it quite effective. I prefer the heart crosshair with lines or triwing crosshair styles.

So, in the end, it comes down to your personal preference. If you enjoy streaming your gameplay, you can go ahead and use the heart reticle dot to showcase your playful side. One thing I highly recommend is to stick to higher-contrast colors. In a colorful game like Overwatch 2, it's important to always have a clear view of your crosshair.
