How to Customize Your HUD and UI in Battlefield 6
Battlefield 6 offers hundreds of settings to tailor your gaming experience, including options for graphics, audio, controls, and more. Among these, you’ll find a robust suite of customization options for your HUD (Heads-Up Display) and UI to suit your personal taste, physical needs, or other preferences. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to customize your HUD and UI in Battlefield 6.
Customizing Your Crosshairs
Crosshair customization options are found within the Graphics settings under the Icons & Indicators section. By selecting Edit, you’ll access a screen where you can adjust several settings—most notably, the color of your crosshairs.
This level of detail matters because crosshairs and damage indicators are some of the most frequently seen icons in Battlefield 6. Although the default colors work well for most players, you have a wide range of options to personalize how they appear.
When you open the Crosshair Color palette, you’ll see a large square on the left displaying different shades and saturations of the color selected on the vertical bar to the right. For example, if you want more red, drag the double arrows on the bar upwards or downwards to change the base color. Then, select or drag within the square to pick from a spectrum ranging from bright white to deep black, across all variations of your chosen base color.
Similarly, the Hit Indicator section allows you to customize your hit marker colors using the same palette system. Beyond color, you can also adjust crosshair thickness, opacity, intensity, and even how hit numbers are displayed. Additionally, you can change damage colors for both infantry and vehicle hits, letting you further tailor visual feedback in gameplay.
Customizing Your HUD
There are two main screens where you can modify your HUD’s appearance and functionality:
- Advanced HUD Settings: Found under Graphics > Interface and HUD, this menu offers extensive options for how on-screen elements behave during matches. You can adjust the opacity of map overlays, minimize or enlarge your minimap, control its rotation, and even change your eyesight cone color. The kill feed and other HUD elements also have some dedicated customization options.
Near the bottom of the Advanced HUD Settings, you’ll find color palettes specifically for your vehicle’s on-screen displays. While these options aren’t as granular as other settings, they allow you to modify these visuals quickly to better suit your preferences or needs.
- Main HUD Settings: Also located in the Graphics menu under Interface and HUD, these general settings let you toggle HUD elements on or off. For example, you can disable certain overlays or HUD movement that activates when your character interacts with physics. One unique option here is the SOVIS filter, which affects the visibility of enemy players in matches. It’s generally recommended to keep this filter enabled.
How to Change Color Profiles
Another subtle yet valuable customization feature is the set of color profile options, designed primarily with accessibility in mind.
These options are found under Accessibility > Graphics Quality Settings. Battlefield 6 includes five color profile presets:
- Default
- Deuteranopia (red-green color blindness)
- Tritanopia (blue-yellow color blindness)
- Protanopia (red-green color blindness)
- Custom
The default profile uses the game’s baseline color scheme. The three “-opia” profiles cater to different types of color blindness, improving visibility and recognition for affected players. Selecting Custom opens the same shade and saturation palettes featured elsewhere in the UI, allowing you to fine-tune colors according to your preference.
Final Thoughts
How you customize your HUD and UI is entirely up to you. Some players prefer to keep the default settings to avoid any potential issues with color recognition or distraction, while others find tweaking these options enhances their gameplay experience significantly.
Feel free to explore and experiment with the various customization settings until you find what works best for you. Battlefield 6’s flexibility ensures that you can play the way you want, with a HUD and UI that match your unique needs.
