Bullet Counter — Three Modes
Track your ammo without taking your eyes off the action. Choose the display style that fits your game and crosshair.
Numeric
Clean digital display with a rounded frame. Shows current ammo count (e.g. "30", "--9", "---" when empty). Fixed-width digits for stable rendering.
Circular
A ring of ticks around your crosshair — one tick per bullet, up to 100. As you fire, ticks fade out, giving you a glanceable visual indicator.
Linear
Horizontal row of ticks with configurable rotation. One tick per bullet, up to 100. Rotate from 0° to 360° to position it anywhere around your crosshair.
Configurable shot delay, reload delay, magazine size (up to 999), per-mode colors, opacity, and scale. Works through pure passive key polling — no hooks, no injection, completely safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CrosshairEDGE?
CrosshairEDGE is a custom crosshair overlay for Windows games. It lets you create layered crosshairs, customize shapes, colors, outlines, opacity, scale, and position, save multiple presets, use a live Bullet Counter, and share designs through Steam Workshop.
Is CrosshairEDGE safe to use with games?
CrosshairEDGE is designed as an overlay-only app. It draws its own transparent overlay on your screen and does not modify your games.
Does CrosshairEDGE inject into games or read game memory?
No. CrosshairEDGE does not inject code into games, does not read or write game memory, does not modify game files, and does not patch game processes. It only manages its own Windows overlay.
Does CrosshairEDGE work with all games?
CrosshairEDGE is designed to work with most Windows games that support borderless fullscreen or windowed fullscreen mode. It does not need game integration and does not modify game files, but some games using exclusive fullscreen or restrictive anti-cheat systems may block normal overlays. If the crosshair does not appear, switch the game to borderless fullscreen or windowed fullscreen first.
Will CrosshairEDGE work in fullscreen games?
CrosshairEDGE is designed to work best with borderless fullscreen or windowed fullscreen mode. Some games using exclusive fullscreen may block normal Windows overlays or hide them behind the game.
Why is borderless fullscreen recommended?
Borderless fullscreen allows Windows overlays to appear above the game more reliably. If your crosshair does not appear in-game, switching the game from exclusive fullscreen to borderless fullscreen is usually the first thing to try.
What should I do if the crosshair does not appear in-game?
First, make sure your game is running in borderless fullscreen or windowed fullscreen mode. Also check that the crosshair is enabled, the opacity is not set to zero, the selected preset has visible segments, and the app is running on the correct monitor.
Can I use CrosshairEDGE with Steam games?
Yes. CrosshairEDGE is coming to Steam and is designed for Windows gamers who want a customizable crosshair overlay for their games. The app also supports Steam features such as Steam Workshop and Steam Cloud.
Does CrosshairEDGE support Steam Workshop presets?
Yes. CrosshairEDGE supports Steam Workshop, so users can browse, download, subscribe to, vote on, and share crosshair presets with the community. It also includes a creator leaderboard for discovering popular preset creators.
Can I create and switch between multiple crosshair presets?
Yes. CrosshairEDGE includes 20 preset slots. Each preset can store crosshair layers, shapes, colors, slider settings, positions, global scale, Bullet Counter settings, Right-Click Hide, and Game Auto-Switch bindings.
What is Game Auto-Switch?
Game Auto-Switch lets you bind a game executable file to a specific preset. When that game is running, CrosshairEDGE can automatically switch to the matching preset, then switch back when the game closes.
What is the Bullet Counter?
The Bullet Counter is an optional ammo-style overlay built into CrosshairEDGE. It can show ammo as numbers, a circular tick ring, or a linear tick row. You can customize the magazine size, reload key, shot delay, colors, thickness, opacity, scale, and position.
Will CrosshairEDGE affect FPS or input lag?
CrosshairEDGE is designed to be lightweight and overlay-only. Performance impact should be minimal on modern Windows gaming PCs, but actual results can vary depending on your system, display setup, game, and other overlays running at the same time.
Does CrosshairEDGE support Steam Cloud?
Yes. CrosshairEDGE supports Steam Cloud sync for presets, hotkeys, and configuration data, so your setup can follow you across supported PCs using the same Steam account.
What platforms does CrosshairEDGE support?
CrosshairEDGE is built for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It is distributed through Steam and is designed for 64-bit Windows systems.
How much will CrosshairEDGE cost?
CrosshairEDGE is planned to launch on Steam for $5.99 USD.
