To change your crosshair in Counter Blox, open the game menu by pressing N or locating the gear icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen, then select the Crosshair tab along the top navigation bar. Alternatively, pressing the apostrophe key on your keyboard while in a match brings up the crosshair editor directly. From this interface, you can manually modify slider values, toggle dynamic reticle behavior, or paste numeric Roblox Decal IDs to display custom designs.
How to Open the Crosshair Menu
Counter Blox provides two primary ways to access the crosshair customization interface on PC:
- Via the Settings Menu: Press N to display the main interface, click the gear icon in the bottom-right corner to open Settings, and click the Crosshair tab at the top of the menu.
- Via Keyboard Shortcut: Press the apostrophe key (or quote key) during a match to immediately open the crosshair customization overlay without clicking through side menus.
If you are navigating through the HUD settings menu, crosshair parameters can also be accessed at the bottom of the HUD customization screen.
Every Crosshair Setting Explained
The crosshair menu allows players to tune individual parameters or switch between standard procedural reticles and texture decals.
| Setting | Function in Counter Blox | Recommended Competitive Value |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic | Controls reticle expansion. Has three modes: Off (static), On (movement and firing error), and Hybrid (firing error only). | Off (Static) |
| Dot / Center Dot | Adds or removes a dot directly at the center of the screen. In standard crosshairs, its size scales with thickness. | Off (Personal preference) |
| Length | Adjusts the length of the crosshair lines. This setting does not affect center dots. | 1 – 4.5 |
| Thickness | Adjusts the line thickness for regular crosshairs, or scales the dot size if using a dot-only setup. | 0.0 – 0.5 |
| Gap | Adjusts the distance between the center screen and the inner edges of the crosshair lines (range 0 to 20). | 0.0 – 2.5 |
| Outline | Adds a black border around the crosshair lines. Setting this to 0 completely removes the border. | 0 (Off) or 0.5 |
| T Style | Removes the top vertical line of the crosshair, leaving a three-line T shape. | Off |
| Transparency | Controls reticle visibility. 0 is completely opaque (most visible), while 1 makes the reticle fully invisible. | 0 |
| R / G / B Sliders | Sets the exact color palette using RGB values ranging from 0 to 255. | Cyan (0, 255, 255) or Green (0, 255, 0) |
| Decal ID | An input box where you paste a numeric Roblox asset ID to use a custom texture instead of standard lines. | Optional (Leave empty for default lines) |
When using a Decal ID, the gap and thickness settings function differently: rather than altering individual crosshair lines, both sliders scale the physical dimensions of the imported decal texture.
How to Use Decal IDs for Custom Reticles
If you prefer custom reticle designs—such as circles, pre-made dots, or modified tactical reticles—you can apply Roblox image assets directly in the editor:
- Open the crosshair editor using the apostrophe key or through Settings.
- Click the Decal ID input field at the bottom of the crosshair panel.
- Paste a verified numeric Decal ID into the field and press Enter.
- Adjust the Gap or Thickness sliders to resize the decal to your preferred scale.
- Set Transparency to 0 to ensure the texture renders clearly.
- Close the settings menu to save the new reticle.
To revert back to the default procedural crosshair, change the Decal ID value back to 0.

Troubleshooting Crosshair Problems
- Crosshair is Invisible: Check the Transparency slider. If the field is blank or set to 1, the reticle will not render on screen. Make sure Transparency is manually set to 0.
- Decal Appears Distorted or Misaligned: Counter Blox engine patches (such as update v1.5.9.7) rewritten the crosshair renderer. When using custom decals after an update, you may need to re-adjust the Length, Thickness, and Gap sliders to restore the texture to its correct proportions.
- Reticle Moves While Walking: Set the Dynamic setting to Off. In update v1.5.9.6, a Hybrid mode was introduced which only shows recoil spread when firing; choose Off if you require a completely static sight picture.
- T Style Appears Upside Down: T-style reversal issues were patched in v1.5.9.7. Ensure your client is running on the latest live build if the top line fails to toggle properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my crosshair color using RGB numbers?
Yes. Counter Blox features Red, Green, and Blue sliders ranging from 0 to 255. For instance, setting Red to 255, Green to 0, and Blue to 255 produces a magenta crosshair, while setting Green to 255 with Red and Blue at 0 creates a bright green crosshair.
What is the difference between Dynamic and Hybrid crosshair modes?
Dynamic On expands your crosshair both when moving and when firing. Hybrid mode keeps the crosshair static while moving, only expanding the gap to reflect weapon inaccuracy when you fire your gun. Dynamic Off keeps the crosshair completely locked in place regardless of action.
Why does my Decal ID not load?
If entering a Decal ID does not change your crosshair, the Roblox asset ID may be deleted, made private by the creator, or entered incorrectly. Ensure the Decal ID contains numbers only, confirm your Transparency slider is set to 0, and verify that the asset is publicly accessible in Roblox.
