View direction ESP — is this actually a big deal

View direction ESP — is this actually a big deal or a gimmick?

Every other ESP element is some version of "here is a person." View direction is the only one that tells you something you can't infer from a box, which is whether the person is looking at you or away from you.

That seems like the single most decision-relevant indicator in the whole player section and it gets mentioned way less than boxes. Am I overrating it?

Not overrating. Someone facing away is a free trade, someone facing you is a duel. That's the whole decision.

@omen_enjoyer

Careful with it though. View direction shows where they're facing, not where they're looking. Crosshair placement and body facing drift apart all the time in this game.

True, people flick. But it's still better than nothing.

It's also the one that matters most post-plant when you're trying to work out which defender is watching the spike.

Only if the indicator is accurate enough to trust in the first place. If it lags at all you'll walk into people.

Player ESP can show location, posture, view direction and details like agent, equipment, health and shields, including player positions obscured by cover.
