The '''HUD''', or '''heads-up display''', are the in-game element such as health and ammo indicators, the killfeed, etc. Custom HUDs are very important to the competitive scene because they usually focus more on usability. Many competitive players prefer custom HUDs over the default one as they clutter the screen less and show more relevant information to the player.

==How to install==
Since the Steampipe update, custom files are much more easily installed and managed.

'''To install any custom HUD you should follow the steps below:'''
# Extract the main contents of the HUD package you downloaded (usually HUDs come in .zip or .rar format), they should contain a resource, scripts and/or materials folders.
# Go to the '''Steam/steamapps/common/team fortress 2/tf2/custom''' directory on your hard drive
# Create a folder and name it to your liking (eg: mycustomhud)
# Copy the extracted folders into the folder you created in the custom directory
# Start the game and test the HUD you installed

'''Note:''' The game should be closed while you do this.

==How to create custom HUDs==

For most HUD editing tasks only a text processor is needed, this makes it very easy to create and edit custom huds.

There are some guides/tutorials created by various members of the community on the subject, which can be seen below:
