Valorant crosshair checker: find your crosshair twin

Valorant crosshair checker: how the crosshair twin finds your pro match

If you have ever tried to compare a crosshair code against pro setups, you know the drill: scroll through a long list, squint at tiny previews and guess which one looks closest to yours. Our Valorant crosshair checker flips that around. You start with your own code, and the tool searches our database for the pros whose settings line up best with it. So the question “Which pro has my crosshair?” gets a real answer – with a name, a percentage and an honest breakdown of what is different.

The process is short on purpose, so you should have a result in under a minute:

1. Copy your code: Open Settings in Valorant, switch to the Crosshair tab and click the export icon. That copies the code of your active profile to your clipboard.
2. Paste it: Drop the code into the input field above. No code handy? Load an example instead and see what a result looks like.
3. Check the preview: The tool renders your crosshair large on a dark, light or map background, so you can instantly see whether it stays readable on every surface.
4. Meet your twins: You get the three most similar crosshairs from the database, each with a match percentage and a list of matching and differing traits.
5. Share it: Save the result as an image (PNG) or send it as a link – handy for your Discord server or for friends who want to know whose crosshair you are “running.”

By default, the checker compares against the 84 crosshairs from pros and streamers. If you like, you can add the 137 community codes on top. That is especially useful for flashy designs: a pink cross with a center dot barely has a partner among the pros, but the community often has one.

How to read the match percentage

The percentage is the result of a weighted comparison between each value in your code and the matching value in a pro’s code. It is a formula built by valorant-spind.de, not a number Riot shows anywhere in the game. Treat it as a guide: a high score means your shape and color look very similar. It does not mean you aim like that pro, and it does not mean the crosshair is “better.”

The trait list below the score matters more than the raw number. It tells you at a glance whether the gap comes down to color alone or to something that changes the shape in a way you will actually feel, such as how far the lines sit from the center. Two crosshairs with the same shape but different colors play almost the same in a match. Two crosshairs in the same color but with very different line lengths do not.

Tip: Always look at your top 3 as a group. If all three pros share the same basic shape, you have landed on a popular style. If they are all over the place, your crosshair is closer to a one-off – and the list shows you which direction to tweak it if you want to move closer to a specific pro.

Understanding the crosshair code: what the values mean

At first glance, a Valorant crosshair code looks like random characters. In reality it follows a clear logic: it is a string of key-value pairs separated by semicolons. A key such as c stands for one setting, and the value right after it is that setting’s level. Once you get the idea, you can roughly “read” any code without loading it into the game – which is exactly what you need when you want to compare crosshair codes by hand.

Structure: the P, A and S sections

Every code is split into sections. P is your primary crosshair, the one you see when you shoot normally. A is the crosshair while aiming down sights (ADS), and S is the sniper crosshair. Everything after one of those letters belongs to that section until the next one starts.

The crosshair twin focuses on the shape of the primary crosshair, since that is what sits on your screen most of the time. In our database, 25 of the 84 pro and streamer codes contain their own sniper section, while only 3 have a dedicated ADS section. So most players customize the sniper reticle separately, if they customize anything beyond the primary one at all.

One key detail: not every code contains every key. When a key is missing, Valorant uses its default value for that setting, and the tool handles missing values the same way. That is why some pro codes are surprisingly short – they only include the handful of settings they want to change from the default.

The most important keys at a glance

For the line settings, the digit in front of the letter always tells you whether it refers to the inner lines (0) or the outer lines (1). So 0l;4 means “inner lines, length 4,” and 1o;10 would mean “outer lines, offset 10.” There are more keys as well, for example for movement and firing error (f, m, s). They control whether and how your crosshair reacts when you move or shoot. The twin comparison mainly looks at shape, because that is what defines your crosshair while you are standing still.

A real code from the database, piece by piece

Let’s take the code stored for TenZ in our database: 0;s;1;P;c;5;h;0;m;1;0l;4;0o;2;0a;1;0f;0;1b;0. Broken down, it reads like this:

• 0;s;1 comes before the first section and belongs to the profile’s general settings. The shape starts to matter from P onward.
• c;5 – the color is cyan.
• h;0 – outlines are turned off.
• m;1 and 0f;0 belong to the additional keys that deal with behavior while moving and firing.
• 0l;4 – the inner lines have a length of 4.
• 0o;2 – there is an offset of 2 between the center and the lines.
• 0a;1 – the inner lines are fully opaque.
• 1b;0 – the outer lines are off.

What is missing tells you just as much: there is no key for line thickness (0t) and none for the center dot (d), so both run on Valorant’s defaults. What you end up with is a clean, small cyan cross with no border – a style that shows up constantly in the pro scene, as the numbers further down prove.

Crosshair types: dot, cross, old-school and more

Besides finding your twin, the tool assigns your crosshair a type and adds a casual description of it. The type depends on how the center dot, the inner lines, the outer lines and their lengths are combined. Roughly speaking, there are five basic shapes:

• Dot: Only the center dot is visible and the lines are off. Minimal, hides almost nothing of your target and forces you to aim very precisely with that single point.
• Mini cross: A cross made of very short inner lines. It looks almost like a dot, but the four tiny ticks give you a little more orientation.
• Classic cross: Medium-length inner lines with a small gap in the middle. This is the style most pros in our database use.
• Cross with dot: A cross plus an active center dot. Popular with players who want the lines for orientation and the dot as a precise aim point.
• Old-school: The outer lines are switched on in addition to the inner ones. It feels like the reticle from a classic shooter and looks noticeably “busier.”

In our database, every entry is tagged with one of three style labels: cross, dot or cross with dot. Comparing pros with the community reveals a clear difference in taste:

Five out of six pro crosshairs are plain crosses. The cross-plus-dot combo, which makes up almost a third of the community codes, is used by just five of the 84 pros and streamers. Pure dots, on the other hand, are more common among pros than in the community. Our take: pros lean toward clean, stripped-down shapes that cover as little of the enemy as possible, while many community players like having “more” crosshair on screen.

Which type suits you depends heavily on how you play. If you are not sure, build a few variations in the crosshair generator and test them one after another. For the basics of every option in the settings menu, check out our crosshair guide.

What pros actually use: numbers from the database

As of September 2026, our pro crosshair database holds 237 codes in total: 76 from VCT pros, 8 from streamers, 137 from the community and 16 of our own templates. For the numbers below, we decoded the 84 pro and streamer codes ourselves and went through them key by key. When a key is missing, we do not count it as a value – we list it as “default,” because the value the player actually sees is then decided by Valorant.

A quick caveat before we dive in: team tags come from the Riot ID prefix at the time the code was submitted. Pros switch teams and tweak their crosshairs all the time, so some entries may be out of date. These numbers describe the state of the database, not necessarily what a player is running in their latest match.

Pro crosshair colors

White, cyan and green cover 80 of the 84 crosshairs. Red and pink do not appear at all among the pros in our database. How those colors end up in the code is interesting, too: 35 of the 84 codes contain no color key c at all and are listed as white in the database. 23 use c;5 for cyan, 19 use c;1 for green and 3 use c;4 for yellow. Only 4 of the 84 codes set a custom hex color with c;8.

The community is a completely different story: 101 of the 137 community codes use a custom color via c;8, which works out to 73.7 percent. That explains the 45 entries under “other” – purple, blue, orange and plenty of shades you will not find among the presets.

Outlines, center dot and lines

The most striking thing pros have in common is the border: 43 of 84 codes turn outlines off, explicitly, with h;0. The remaining 41 do not include the key and therefore run the default. Not a single one of the 84 codes explicitly turns outlines on with h;1. For comparison, 82 of the 137 community codes switch outlines off and 33 explicitly switch them on.

The center dot looks like this: 14 of the 84 pro and streamer codes enable it with d;1, which is 16.7 percent. 4 explicitly turn it off, and 66 leave the key out. In the community, 49 of 137 codes enable the dot – a bit more than a third.

For the inner lines, the length 0l is worth a closer look. 72 of the 84 codes set it explicitly. The most common value is 4 (27 times), followed by 3 (19 times) and 2 (13 times). The median is 3, and 59 of those 72 values fall between 2 and 4. For the offset 0o, the value 2 dominates (34 times), followed by 0 (14 times) and 1 (11 times). Only 35 codes set the thickness 0t explicitly, and 27 of them use 1. The most common pairing of length and offset is 4 and 2, found in 15 of the 84 codes.

Opacity is just as clear-cut: 71 codes set the inner lines to full opacity with 0a;1. And for the outer lines, 38 codes explicitly disable them with 1b;0, while none explicitly enable them with 1b;1. In short, the typical pro runs a small, solid cross with no border and no second row of lines.

Which pros share the same crosshair

83 of the 84 codes are unique. Only Cryo and Aspas have the exact same code stored in the database. But if you look at shape alone – ignoring color and the keys for movement and firing error – the 84 codes boil down to 59 distinct shapes. Two of those shapes are shared by six players each:

• Shape A (length 4, offset 2, outlines off, outer lines off): TenZ, Crashies, AYRIN, Mazino, KiNgg and Wardell. Only the colors differ here – four of them run cyan, one green and one white.
• Shape B (length 4, offset 0, outlines off, outer lines off): Yay, Cryo, Aspas, Sacy, Enzo and neT – all six in white.

These are exactly the kinds of groups the crosshair twin surfaces for you. If your code matches one of these shapes, several pros will show up in your top 3 with a very high score. By the way, the only difference between shape A and shape B is the offset: with shape B, the lines almost touch in the middle, while shape A leaves a small gap.

Pros vs. community: the big split

Put it all together and the data shows two clearly different philosophies. Pros stick to preset colors, short to medium inner lines, no outlines and no outer lines. Only 4.8 percent of pros use a custom color. The community experiments a lot more: custom shades, center dots more often, active outlines more often. Neither approach is right or wrong – your crosshair has to look good to you and be easy for you to read. But if you specifically want to play “like a pro,” these numbers show you where the pros agree.

Your crosshair is only one part of your setup, of course. For the sensitivity, resolution and mouse pros use, head over to our overview of pro settings.

Which crosshair color is right for you?

Color is the setting you change fastest – and the one you regret most often when it disappears on certain maps. There are no official recommendations, so here is our take on the colors that show up among pros:

• White: The most common color in our pro database. It looks neutral and clean, but can be harder to spot against bright walls or the sky. The background preview in the tool helps you check that.
• Cyan: The second most common color among pros. It stands out from a lot of map textures without looking garish.
• Green: Just under a quarter of pros play green. Our take: it has strong contrast on most backgrounds.
• Yellow: Rare among pros, but an option if green and cyan do not work for you.

Why red and pink do not show up among the pros in our database is not something the codes alone can answer. One obvious guess is that red tones could get mixed up with in-game effects. That is not confirmed, though – when in doubt, test whether a color works for you.

Tip: Switch the preview between the dark, light and map backgrounds. If your crosshair stays easy to see on all three, the color is a safe pick. If it blurs into one of them, try a different color or turn on outlines.

From twin to your own crosshair: how to tweak values

Your twin is a starting point, not a finish line. The idea is not to copy a pro’s code blindly but to understand which knobs you can turn. Using the trait list from the tool, this approach works best:

1. One change at a time: Pick exactly one trait where you differ from your twin, for example the offset, and change only that value.
2. Test it in the Range: Shoot bots for a few minutes and pay attention to whether you see your target better or worse. A crosshair that covers the enemy’s head is too big.
3. Check it in a match: Play at least a few rounds with the new setting before you judge it. Habit plays a huge role.
4. Compare the new code: Export your updated code and run it through the twin again. You will see how your top 3 shift.

A few rules of thumb from our side: if you tap and burst a lot, a small cross without movement error can help because it stays steady. If you struggle to find your crosshair on bright maps, outlines are a solid fix, even though many pros turn them off. And if you want a crosshair that gives you feedback while spraying, take a look at the firing error keys.

Obviously, a crosshair alone will not make you hit more shots. A sensitivity you are comfortable with matters at least as much. If you are coming from another shooter, the sensitivity converter translates your value, and the aim trainer lets you test how your new crosshair feels during fast flicks.

How to import and export a code in Valorant

Once you have found a code you like – your twin, a tweaked version or something from the database – getting it into the game takes just a few clicks. Going the other way is just as easy when you want to share your own crosshair.

Importing

1. Copy the full code you want to your clipboard.
2. Open Settings in Valorant and switch to the Crosshair tab.
3. Click the icon for importing a profile.
4. Paste the code and confirm. The crosshair is added as a profile.

Exporting and sharing

To export, click the export icon in the same menu. Valorant copies the code of your current profile to your clipboard. Paste that code into the crosshair twin above or send it straight to your friends. With the tool’s share feature, you can also save your result as a PNG image or create a link that shows your twin result.

Important: Make sure you copy the entire code. If a few characters are missing at the end, the import may fail or your crosshair may look different from what you expected.

Common mistakes when comparing crosshairs

When people compare and copy crosshairs, the same mistakes pop up again and again. Here is what to watch out for:

• Only looking at the percentage: The match score is our own formula. The trait list tells you where the difference really is.
• Pro code equals pro aim: An identical crosshair does nothing for your reaction time, crosshair placement or game sense. It just looks the same.
• Treating old codes as current: Pros change their settings. Our database shows what was submitted at the time, not necessarily the crosshair from their last match.
• Overlooking missing keys: A missing value in a code does not mean “off” – it means “default.” That trips people up especially with outlines and the center dot.
• Color over shape: Two crosshairs in the same color can play completely differently. Length, offset and thickness shape the feel far more.
• Switching constantly: If you try a new pro crosshair every day, you never get used to any of them. Give a setting time.

If you want to tune your whole setup, also calculate your eDPI and compare it with pro values. And for a quick reaction workout in between matches, jump into the reflex arena.

Frequently asked questions about the crosshair twin

How do I find out which pro uses my crosshair?

Copy your code in Valorant with the export icon in the Crosshair menu and paste it above. The crosshair twin compares it with 84 crosshairs from VCT pros and streamers and shows you the three closest ones with a match percentage.

Is the match percentage an official Riot number?

No. The score is calculated with a formula made by valorant-spind.de that compares the values of both codes with different weights. It is meant as a guide and is not a metric from the game.

How many crosshairs is my code compared against?

By default, 84 codes: 76 from VCT pros and 8 from streamers. You can optionally include 137 community codes as well.

What crosshair color do most pros use?

In our database, white is the most common: 36 of the 84 pro and streamer crosshairs. Cyan follows with 25 and green with 19. Yellow appears three times and another color once.

Do pros play with outlines?

At least 43 of the 84 pro and streamer codes explicitly turn outlines off. The other 41 do not include the key and use the default. None of the codes explicitly turns outlines on.

What does it mean when a value is missing from a code?

Then Valorant’s default value applies to that setting. That is why many pro codes are very short – they only contain the values that differ from the default.

What do P, A and S mean in a crosshair code?

They are the sections of the code: P for the primary crosshair, A for the aim-down-sights (ADS) crosshair and S for the sniper crosshair.

How do I import a crosshair code into Valorant?

Go to Settings → Crosshair, click the profile import icon and paste the code. The crosshair is then added as a profile.

Are the pro crosshairs in the database up to date?

The database reflects September 2026. Team tags come from the Riot ID prefix at the time of submission, and pros change both crosshairs and teams, so individual entries may be outdated.

Can I share my result?

Yes. You can save your result as a PNG image or send it as a link, for example to friends or your Discord server.
