📋 About This Mod

===================== = Dynamic Crosshair = ===================== A ripped version of Project Nevada\'s Crosshair addition. This plugin adds a dynamically changing crosshair that takes into consideration: Weapon spread, crippled arms, perks and more. It also returns to normal when you holster your weapon(s).

This is just a stand alone version from Project Nevada. This edits the hud_main_menu.xml file. If you use other HUD mods, you may have to edit other files.
