Crosshair App for Fortnite: First-Shot Reference

Use a free Fortnite custom crosshair overlay for weapons with no sight: shotguns, SMGs, and hip-fired rifles in box fights.

Does the overlay work in Fortnite?

Yes. Epic Crosshair is a system-level overlay and is game-agnostic: it draws on top of the screen regardless of what runs underneath. Launch the app, choose a dot or small-cross loadout, set Fortnite to Windowed Fullscreen, and the marker stays visible through drops, rotations, and endgame chaos.

Fortnite updates frequently, but because the overlay never hooks into the game, new seasons and weapon pools don’t affect it. Your settings carry over untouched.

Anti-cheat note for Fortnite players

Fortnite runs Easy Anti-Cheat, which scans for software that modifies the game or reads its memory. Epic Crosshair does neither — no file changes, no memory access, no injected input. That keeps it outside what EAC flags. Competitive play (cash cups, FNCS) has stricter rules than pubs, so verify the current tournament policy before competing.

White (#ffffff) with dark outline

Fortnite's island is bright — sky, sand, and neon builds. A white marker with a thin dark outline stays readable against both skyboxes and wooden builds.

Run Fortnite in Windowed Fullscreen mode so the overlay stays visible.

Fortnite questions

  • Does the overlay show in Fortnite's fullscreen mode?

    Set Fortnite to Windowed Fullscreen. The overlay draws over borderless windows; exclusive fullscreen gives the display to the game and hides outside markers.

  • Is an overlay safe with Easy Anti-Cheat?

    Epic Crosshair is overlay-only: it draws on the finished frame and never reads or writes game memory, files, or processes. Easy Anti-Cheat looks for tampering tools, but policies change, so check Epic's current rules before tournaments.

  • Which weapons benefit most from an overlay?

    Hip-fired shotguns, SMGs, and rifles without sights. Scoped and ADS weapons already draw their own reticle, so the overlay matters most for close box fights.
