Huntress Mains and Crosshairs

There are some cross hair tools on steam that have it in their description that they are white listed with EAC so they are not cheating, also some monitors have a feature to make a dot appear, I think they are somewhat annoying to get used to because you cannot rely on them too much because for hatchets you need to look up and down for distance so if you focus too much on the spoz you will hit the ground a lot more than necessary...

I mean I wouldn’t consider it cheating but it certainly won’t help to learning huntress without a crosshair.

Anything that's non-vanilla is cheating. It hurts others experience if games aren't played the way they are supposed to be played.

Unless you are changing the game files or something, it's not really cheating. A piece of tape on my screen is no more of a cheat than a golfball on a survivor's W key.

Among Us

I like using a crosshair. It's not cheating nor considered cheating in the game. Just helps to see the centre of the screen with anything aiming, most games have a crosshair built in for stuff like that, deathslinger basically has one built in as it zooms in and centres your weapon when using it, unlike huntress or trickster.

Ofc if you care about using huntress without a cross hair then there's no use in using the cross hair as you'll kinda depend on it. I only play on pc and don't care about relying on crosshair for her.

If this is about tournaments then that makes sense but general gameplay it isn't cheating lol, I'm pretty sure devs have confirmed this and you will not be banned for using a crosshair lolll, I think even EAC has whitelisted some crosshairs or isn't listed as a prohibited program.

The devs have stated that a crosshair wont get you banned as it doesn't actually modify game files in your favor. Are people going to complain that its cheating? Sure, a sore loser is gonna attack whatever they can to shift the responsibility of their loss. I know there's quite a few Huntress Mains that use a crosshair or something taped to their screen. (I'm pretty sure I remember someone saying there's a Huntress Main who has a cheerio taped to their monitor.)

A crosshair doesn't throw the hatchet for you, and you're still going to miss many many hatchets. But its nice to have a reference to line up snipes and tight shots, and is useful in learning what hatchet trajectory looks like because it is not a straight line and it certainly doesn't travel infinitely.

A crosshair just shows you what exactly what direction the hatchet is going to fly. You still need to know how to hit the target on your own. You still need to account for the distance between you and your target, LOS blockers, Survivor pathing and speed, Hatchet trajectory and hatchet speed. Unless the survivor is pretty much point blank aiming the crosshair at the survivor is most likely not going to result in a hit, because you have to predict where the survivor is going when throwing, not where they are currently.

Long story short, if you want to use it, use it. People who want to complain are going to complain regardless, you're better off not concerning yourself with what they have to say.

Also just a general thing, usually it goes the way of everything that is not forbidden is allowed and not the other way around.

Some monitors come with crosshair options.

If you want to go really low tech, when navigating screens, the circle cursor will always reset to the dead center of the screen, and I've heard some folks will stick a little paper dot or something right in the middle of it for a makeshift aim assist.

Is it cheating? I don't think so. Is it even an "unfair" advantage? Probably not. Is it kind of a "training wheels" crutch that will keep you from getting better? For sure.

That said, aiming with a controller is kind of an exercise in frustration, so I can almost forgive it on console.

I assure you my ol' ass tv does not boast such options! 😂🤣

I play Huntress exclusively and I can tell you Hawkins makes me want to jump out of a window. Rooms on Hawkins are too small, so while there are some spots that you can thread, mostly your just a 110 M1 killer because you can't get proper angles to throw a hatchet unless the survivor is running in a straight line in a long hallway. Lery's and RPD are tied for my favorite indoor maps, what both maps lack in clear hatchet lineups they make up with threading potential, and pulling off sneaky shots survivors aren't expecting is so much fun and not to mention powerful. Blocking LOS isn't just counter play for Huntress, you can use it against survivors as well. Lery's Midwich, and RPD all have Orbital potential on top of this, and let's face it most people don't remember they also need to look up against Huntress on outdoor maps, even less know they need to look up on indoor maps. RPD is the best for orbitals, all outside gens and hooks can be hit with an Orbital and depending on which wing you're on one or both exit gates can be as well.

I guess long story short, indoor maps don't have to be game over. The best advice I can give is load up some custom matches on indoor maps and just throw hatchets at things. Is there a banister? Try throwing a hatchet through it. Window with boards or broken glass? Throw a hatchet. Hole in the wall? Weird gap in a loop? Hatchet. If you have a friend who will let you play target practice with them even better so you can take your time without the bots rushing you, and bonus if they have Huntress experience and know some of the shots on those maps.

I don't see why this is not part of the game, honestly. They don't ban you for using a crosshair and it only serves as another disadvantage for console players that can't set up a crosshair from what I can tell. The best Huntress mains use it anyway.
