Best Valorant crosshair – pro settings and more The Loadout The Loadout Best Valorant crosshair – pro settings and more If you're trying to find the best Valorant crosshair for competitive play, from bespoke Valorant crosshairs to Valorant pro crosshairs we've got you covered Jess Wells Updated: Oct 7, 2022 07:01 ET Valorant Any veteran first-person shooter player worth their salt will know the first step to mastering a competitive shooter is to fiddle around with your settings. While mouse sensitivity is key to clicking heads, so is the Valorant crosshair you use. Switching it up might be the secret to success when climbing the Valorant ranks. All the new Valorant players are given a default dynamic crosshair that takes up a fair amount of space in the centre of the screen. While this might be adequate for casual players, it's safe to say that it's not one of the best Valorant crosshair options available. It's no good for competitive play and making it smaller will give way to better aim. Stick with us as we guide you through many of the Valorant crosshairs used by some of the biggest Twitch streamers and some of the best esports teams in the world. If you've just switched over from CS:GO, we'd recommend checking out our CS:GO to Valorant sens guide first. How to set up your Valorant crosshair When it comes to tailoring your Valorant crosshair in the settings, you'll be met with several different options and sliders. Each do different things and are explained as follows: Crosshair colour: There are eight colours here to choose from. Ideally you want a bright, vibrant colour so it doesn't blend with the map design. Outlines: The outer edges of your Valorant crosshair are highlighted in black. This helps your crosshair stand out from any similarly coloured objects, but you can turn this off if you want. If you keep this on, you can change the opacity of these lines, as well as the thickness. Center dot: This gives you the option to have a dot in the middle of your crosshair. While this isn't necessary, those who prefer bigger crosshairs will like having a center point for lining up headshots. Like outlines, you'll be able to change the opacity and the thickness of the dot if you have it enabled. Fade crosshair with firing error: If this is on, the top half of your crosshair will fade if the spray of the automatic weapon you're firing is off. This line will return when you stop firing. This setting can be useful as a visual reminder to watch the recoil pattern of guns as a new player. Show spectated player's crosshair: Fancy doing some window shopping? This setting will allow you to look at your teammates crosshairs during a match. If you like theirs better, you can tweak it in the settings. Inner and outer lines: Further down the crosshair settings menu, you'll see a number of sliders for both inner and outer lines. Here you can adjust the opacity, length, thickness, and distance to really make the crosshair your own. You can also choose to set each to dynamically adjust to both movement and firing. best Valorant crosshair Creating the best Valorant crosshair can take time. If you're struggling for inspiration, looking at what the best Valorant players out there are using can serve as solid inspiration. Here are some of the best Valorant crosshairs: Shroud Valorant crosshair Many players looking to attain crispy aim have turned to Michael 'shroud' Grzesiek's in-game settings before. Fortunately for you, the former professional CS:GO player's Valorant crosshair doesn't stray to far from the default one used by many of the world's best players Shroud often switches up his crosshair, but this is the one most commonly used by the former Cloud9 man, and the one offered up when using the '!crosshair' command in his Twitch chat.

You might if you squint. This Valorant crosshair is for the minimalists. If you're one of those players who prefers having only a center dot, then Adil 'Scream' Benrlitom's crosshair might be the one for you. Scream's center dot is quite small for pinpoint accuracy, but it's easy to make it bigger if you need to.

This will do just enough to help you hone in on the silhouettes of your enemies while keeping your crosshair visible in the nosiest of environments, without it adding too much extra visual clutter to your crosshair. Note that Hiko has also opted to turn firing error on with this crosshair, which should help you master spray patterns of Valorant's many guns. Like Shroud, Hiko switches things up often, but this is the crosshair he uses most often.
