How should I set up the ESP overlay for the first time?

Guide Q&A

Use the ESP setup guide to load a conservative preset, pick readable team colors, and check that boxes do not cover your crosshair or hotbar.

Test your layout on a low-pop official server before wipe night. A simple configuration is easier to trust than turning on every category immediately.

Saved this before wipe night—exactly the workflow I needed on official.

Linking back to the guide helps more than random Discord paste configs.

Anyone else test on low pop first? This thread matches what support told me.

Start with portal presets, confirm the overlay in a low-pop server, then adjust one setting at a time.

If the screen feels crowded, reduce loot categories before changing box size or max distance.

Stick to getrustcheats.org and the linked article for module lists—avoid third-party download links.
