It seems that Overkill left some incomplete code for the crosshair inside the Payday 2 source file. I really don't know why they tried to completely delete almost all the code for it. It took me a while to reconstruct the code for crosshairs entirely but I got it to finally work! :D

If you haven't played PD:TH, it dynamically grows and shrinks based on movement. In addition, I've made the mod so that the crosshair color changes based on what you're aiming. (Red for enemies and green for civilians)

Advanced Crosshairs, Hitsounds, and Hitmarkers (also known as: "Advanced Crosshairs and Hitmarkers", "Advanced Crosshairs", or simply "ACH") is a mod that adds the capability to display custom reticles, and visual/auditory feedback upon hitting an enemy, as well as making it relatively simple for users to add their own crosshairs, hitmarkers, and hitsounds.

Please feel free to leave a comment on this mod page, or contact me in the ModWorkshop Discord, if you would like to report a bug, give feedback, or request help either with this mod or with creating or installing addons for this mod.

I love that we can change UI colors now, it's amazing! Would it be possible to add the ability to change the color of the reticle while piloting/in a turret on the railjack as well? I'm pretty sure I looked through the whole list several times and tested with just changing the color of the normal reticle, but it stays default in Railjack. White is really hard to keep track of in the middle of big fights. :)

A random Payday 2 reticle mod had a good idea. It had a standard white reticle and another black reticle rotated at 45 degrees. No matter the background, you'd always see at least one of the two. Area too dark? Black reticle is hard to see, white one stands out. Are too bright? White reticle washes out, black reticle stands out. I'm surprised no other games use this - none that I know, anyway.

Or at least give it the Vulkar treatment, if anyone remembers how that used to be (center dot surrounded by four, and all of them yellow). This RJ reticle needs more contrast or different colours, as well.

Reticles in this game are generally somewhat poor, and the lack of customisation options is kinda weird in a game that puts so much focus on cosmetics. I don't much care for the fading and colour changing behaviour of the standard reticle, either, to be honest.

I often find myself "guessing" where my crosshair is during the corpus missions, with just my remembering ABOUT how fast I'm turning vs where my cursor would have normally been.

I keep looking and am not finding anything :(

Or you can make due. This is the initial 3rd person nerf all over. Loads of people complained (mostly the PvP tryhards) but in the end they made due. Would it be heard to implement, no. Would it matter all that much, also no.

@MediumPlayer The actual spread is the same as before. The difference is that the crosshair shows you the real spread. Previously it appeared as if the accuracy got significantly better while aiming the shotgun.

Maybe there is a way to make it look like the spread is better than it really is, again, like it used to be? I could imagine people using third-party software to negate for a very wide crosshair on shotguns.

Fortunately, the sweeping legislative package known as the For the People Act (H.R. 1) contains ethics, campaign finance and voting rights reforms that are essential to make our government work effectively and fairly. The legislation would enact:

To illustrate the need for reforms that reduce corporate influence and redistribute power to the people, Public Citizen compiled stories of five regular Americans whose lives have been impacted by corporate political power.

In 2003, Sanders Fabares was seeking to break into the film industry and wanted to get trained on how to use digital video production equipment. While looking at job ads, he saw an advertisement for an open house and barbecue event at the Art Institutes of California in San Diego.

Fabares, now 39, and his wife, Jay, 36, met in a drawing class at the Art Institutes. They graduated with combined debt of about $96,000. They have made consistent payments but have only been able to cut their debt down to about $73,000 over the past 13 years, taking intermittent art jobs in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area before moving back to San Diego.

For-profit colleges that saddle students with mountains of debt and worthless degrees have successfully lobbied Congress and the Education Department to block or weaken rules that protect students. As a result, millions of students and graduates around the country are burdened with debt and disillusioned.

Starting about a decade ago, Wayne Wright, 59, of Jacksonville, Fla., started using payday loans. He had already drained his savings and destroyed his credit score after being laid off from a computer programming job.

Wright, who was living in Nashville, Tenn. at the time, took out loans from storefront and internet lenders to make it from one month to the next, but quickly found himself stuck in a debt trap, repeatedly borrowing money to pay back the last loan, plus fees.

These days, Wright works as a home health care nurse in Florida and is on far more solid ground financially. He was able to get out of the payday loan cycle after his sister loaned him $2,600 and let him pay back that money gradually.

Republicans and Democrats alike have been recipients of payday industry donations, and have both used their positions of power to benefit the industry. Former Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-Kan.) received nearly $324,000 from individuals and political action committees tied to the industry over his career. Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), the former chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, has received more than $218,000 in payday contributions. Former Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), the former chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, received $202,000. Other notable recipients of payday contributions include Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.), Rep Steve Stivers (R-Ohio.) Former Rep. Mick Mulvaney, the current acting White House chief of staff and budget director who also served as acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, received nearly $63,000 from payday lenders during his congressional races. As acting director of the CFPB, Mulvaney ended multiple investigations into high-cost lenders, including one involving World Acceptance Corp., a lender from which Mulvaney had received campaign donations.

With more than six years of experience working for oil and gas businesses, Ron Gulla thought he understood the industry. In 2002, he signed a lease to allow drilling on his farm. That lease would later be acquired by Range Resources, a major fracking corporation based in Texas. When drilling began in 2005, Gulla found himself mired in a toxic mess.

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, involves in drilling deep into the earth and injecting the wells with millions of gallons of water, sand and other chemicals to break apart underground shale rock and release the gas.

The oil and gas industry uses its political influence to secure policies to block environmental and public protections and suppress development of the renewable energy sources that are essential for averting catastrophic climate change.

Top Senate recipients of oil and gas contributions include U.S. senators from Texas, Ted Cruz and John Cornyn (more than $3 million each over the course of their careers). Former Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) each received more than $2 million from the industry. In the House, former Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), who served as chair of the Energy and Commerce Committee and infamously apologized to BP for how the government treated the oil giant after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster, received more than $2 million from the industry, more than any other House member.

In 2016, Alec was promoted to be manager at the small, family-owned restaurant where he worked. He was eager for experience that could lead to a better job. But because the restaurant did not offer insurance coverage to employee, he and his mother were anxious.

The pharmaceutical industry uses its political influence to block even the most modest reforms to rein in prescription drug prices and to undermine regulations that protect the public from unsafe medicines.

In 2003, President George W. Bush signed the Medicare Modernization Act, which expanded Medicare to cover prescription drugs but prohibited the government from using its bulk purchasing power to negotiate prices.

A New York City native and graduate of Howard University, Coleman worked as an information technology specialist for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. After going through a divorce, Coleman was skeptical about his ability to qualify for a loan. A friend connected him with a mortgage broker. Before he knew it, he was a homeowner.

At HUD, Coleman earned a six-figure salary. But after both his father and his sister became ill, Coleman wound up traveling back and forth between Washington and New York to take care of them. Coleman missed a lot of time at work and ultimately resigned from his position so he could take care of his family members, both of whom have since died.

With the assistance of lawyers from the Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia, Coleman received a loan modification, but has not been able to restore his prior income. He now works as a customer support representative for a contractor that provides building services to an international development organization, where he earns about $45,000 a year.

The mortgage crisis could have been prevented. Despite numerous warnings about rampant predatory practices in the mortgage industry, lawmakers and bank regulators failed to crack down on predatory lending due an intense pushback from lenders.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s several lawmakers in Congress tried to stop subprime lending abuses but these reforms stalled. At the state level, tough predatory lending legislation in Georgia passed in 2002 but was rolled back a few months later amid an industry outcry. Corporate-friendly bank regulators appointed by the Bush administration failed to crack down on predatory lending. Several of the most-troubled institutions, including Countrywide Financial, IndyMac Bancorp and Washington Mutual, were supervised by the federal Office of Thrift Supervision, which failed to regulate those lenders and wound up being merged into another bank regulator. Federal regulators who tried to sound the alarm bell found themselves stymied.
