How to change optic color in Rainbow Six Siege

Although changing the color of your optic might sound silly or useless, some people believe bright colors can give you the upper hand in gunfights. 

In case you want to try out new colors, you can explore your options by heading to the Options menu. Once you are there, click on Accessibility. From there, you will be able to choose from 13 different reticle color options. You can also change the Optic Opacity.
