Valorant Crosshair Settings: A Guide to a Crosshair That Helps You Aim

Your crosshair is the one thing on screen you look at all game, so small settings change a lot. There's no single best crosshair, but there are good principles. Here's what each option does and how to pick yours.

What each setting does

• Colour — pick something that contrasts with every map. Cyan, yellow and green are popular because few backgrounds use them.
• Outline — helps the crosshair stand out on busy backgrounds, at the cost of looking slightly thicker.
• Centre dot — a tiny, precise point; good for tap shooting, can disappear in fights.
• Inner lines — length, thickness and offset decide how much of the target the crosshair covers.
• Movement and firing error — expands the crosshair as you move or shoot. Many players turn these off and learn the spray instead.

Small and static is the safe default

Most competitive players use a small, static crosshair: short inner lines, a small gap, no movement or firing error. It keeps your eye on the head line without hiding the enemy model.

How to test a crosshair

1. 1Load the range and shoot at bots at long, mid and short range.
2. 2Check it on the brightest and darkest map you play.
3. 3Play at least three matches before deciding. Every new crosshair feels wrong for the first game.
