Frequently asked questions

How do I open the Enhanced Attack Indicator settings?
Open the mod list from the pause menu, select Enhanced Attack Indicator, and click the config button. You can also reach the same settings screen through the Mods menu on the title screen.
Why is my attack indicator not showing up at all?
The indicator only appears when a valid attack target is in range and your attack is charging, so it stays hidden while you are just walking around. Check that the display mode is not set to a style that only shows during cooldown, and confirm the indicator is not disabled in the config.
What is the difference between the attack indicator styles?
Each style draws the charge differently, such as a bar, a crosshair overlay, or a ring around the crosshair. Pick whichever one you can read fastest during a fight, since they all show the same attack charge timing.
Does Enhanced Attack Indicator work on servers?
Yes, it is client-side, so it works on any server without needing to be installed server-side. Other players will not see your indicator, and it will not get you kicked for having it.
