As subject, how do you know when you’ve gotten a critical hit? Some of the Talents in the talent tree are based off critical hits, so it’s hard to make a decision on which to get if you don’t know hen you get a crit hit. Thanks. ---

Critical hits are indicated by the colour of your aim thingy. It turns red/into a cross when you headshot/critical hit 🙂 ---

I believe there is a sound indication too, at least with some weapons. Check on the target range. ---

pretty sure only headshots change the color of the crosshair. Critical hits are indicated by sound. With arrows and bolts, they also seem to have a red trail as you fire. ---

This, and melee usually got a large orange trail (some charged attack also got the trail, but less large) ---

Weird that no one has mentioned this but the trail of your weapon turns orange on criticals and things like the bolts/arrows from crossbows/bows have an orange trail instead of white on them too Edit: sorry someone did mention this my phone seemed to have just spazzed past the comment xD
