Reception

Jeff Cisneros reviewed Crosshairs in White Wolf #40 (1994), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "This supplement is a valuable addition to any Shatterzone judge's campaign. The price is fair, and the amount of information imparted is worth the price. This supplement gets its primary value from the atmosphere it generates. I recommend this for all Runners who want to get a feel for the game universe."^[3]

In the March 1994 edition of Dragon (Issue #203), Rick Swan was complimentary, giving it a rating of 3.5 stars out of 6 and saying, "Of the first batch of [Shatterzone] supplements, Crosshairs is the stand-out."^[1]
