How to Install

  1. Extract the ZIP archive to a temporary location, using a program such as 7-Zip (free, open-source) or Bandizip (free, not open-source, but nicer UI)
  2. Move the "descendent.hud.reticle" folder extracted from the ZIP archive into the "Data\Gui\Custom\Flash" folder under your Secret World Legends folder (e.g.: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Funcom\Secret World Legends")
  3. Under your Secret World Legends folder, there should now be a "Data\Gui\Custom\Flash\descendent.hud.reticle\Modules.xml" file (alongside some other files)
