Best crosshair for the Ares
The light machine gun. Sustained fire that gets more accurate as it spins up.
Like the Odin, the Ares is about volume rather than precision. You hold angles and chokes with it and let the spray do the work, often through smoke or at a doorway you cannot see clearly into.
A crosshair with outer marks or a wide gap helps you judge the area you are covering without hiding it. Precision on a single pixel is not what this gun is asking of you.
Rendered straight from the code, pixel for pixel, at 4x so the shape is readable. This is Wide Gap Crosshair, the first pick below.
Actual size. One game pixel per screen pixel, so at 1080p this is what you really see. Yes, it is that small.
Codes that suit the Ares
Wide Gap Crosshair
Short green lines pushed a full 10 pixels from the centre. The aim point is completely empty, which suits players who trust their placement and want nothing between them and the target.

Two rings of yellow blocks, one at 4px and one at 8px, with nothing in the middle. The inner ring frames a head at close range and the outer one at distance.

Movement error off, firing error on at the maximum 3x multiplier. The crosshair stays still while you walk and blows open while you spray, which makes it a teaching tool for learning when to stop shooting.
