Valorant Crosshair: Settings & Guide

The crosshair is one of the most personal and at the same time most important tools in Valorant: it helps determine how precisely you aim and how clearly you see your aim point. The best part – you can adopt any pro's crosshair with a single code. In this guide you'll find the best pro crosshair codes to copy (from TenZ to Demon1), instructions for importing them, and an easy-to-understand explanation of every key setting. All codes come from real pros in the competitive scene.

Crosshair styles at a glance

Broadly, there are three popular basic shapes. Here is a simple preview so you can picture them:

The dot is minimalist and barely blocks anything – ideal for precise players. The classic cross is the standard and most comfortable for most people. The cross with a center dot combines both and helps you hit the exact aim point.

The best pro crosshair codes to copy

Here are the crosshair codes of well-known pros. Just click "Copy code" and paste it in-game – and you play with the same crosshair as the stars of the scene:

How to import a crosshair code

1. Copy the code you want (the "Copy code" button).
2. In Valorant, open Settings and the Crosshair tab.
3. Click "Import Profile Code" at the top.
4. Paste the code and confirm – the crosshair is applied instantly.
5. With "Export Profile Code" you can share your own crosshair anytime.

Every crosshair setting explained

If you want to fine-tune your crosshair yourself, it helps to know the most important sliders:

• Color: pick a color that clearly stands out from the background. Cyan, green and yellow are especially popular because they are visible almost everywhere.
• Outline: a thin border around the lines keeps the crosshair visible on bright surfaces – but costs a bit of clarity.
• Center Dot: a small dot in the middle helps with precise aiming. Some like it, others find it distracting.
• Inner lines: length, thickness, offset and opacity define the look of the classic cross. Short, thin lines feel more precise.
• Outer lines: optional second lines; many players disable them for a cleaner look.
• Movement and firing error: the crosshair can expand when you move or shoot to show inaccuracy. Many pros turn this off because they already know the recoil.

What do the values in the crosshair code mean?

A crosshair code looks cryptic at first glance but follows a clear pattern. It consists of sections introduced by letters: P stands for the primary crosshair, A for the aim-down-sights crosshair, and S for the sniper crosshair (Operator). Within each section, abbreviations stand for individual settings – for example c for color, h for outline, d for the center dot, and combinations like 0l (length of the inner lines) or 0o (their offset). You don't have to memorize this: it's enough to know that each value mirrors a slider in the settings menu. So if you like, you can easily keep tweaking a copied code in-game.

A separate crosshair for the Operator

Many players overlook that Valorant allows a separate sniper crosshair for the Operator. When you scope in with the Operator a dedicated aim point appears anyway – additionally you can set how the crosshair looks when zoomed out. A small, clear dot is usually plenty here. The benefit: you can optimize your normal crosshair for rifle play and still keep a calm, minimal aim point on the sniper. Many pro codes already include this sniper part (the S section).

Crosshair generators and databases

Besides importing directly by code, there are websites where you can click a crosshair together and export it as a code, plus databases with hundreds of pro settings. Such tools are handy for gathering ideas – our crosshair generator and the pro crosshair database with 237 codes run right here on this site. In the end, though, the in-game test always counts: a crosshair that looks good on screen doesn't necessarily feel good in a real duel. So use generators for inspiration and finalize your crosshair in the practice range, where you directly see how it behaves while aiming.

Crosshair and resolution

Your crosshair looks slightly different depending on screen resolution and field of view. On a larger, higher-resolution monitor the same crosshair tends to appear finer. So if you copy a pro's code and it seems too small or too large, that's often down to resolution – just adjust the length and thickness of the lines a little. What matters in the end isn't that the numbers exactly match the pro's, but that the result looks clear and comfortable on your screen.

How do I find my perfect crosshair?

1. Copy a pro crosshair from the list above as a starting point.
2. Go into the practice range and shoot at bots for a while.
3. Change only one setting at a time and observe the effect.
4. Watch whether you always clearly recognize the aim point – even while moving.
5. Stick with your choice for a few days before tweaking further.

With this approach you quickly find a crosshair that truly fits you – instead of changing values aimlessly.

Common questions about crosshairs

Many beginners wonder whether a particular crosshair counts as "cheating" – it doesn't. All settings shown here are official, built-in options of the game and fully within the rules. Others ask whether a static or a dynamic crosshair is better. Static (motionless) is the standard among most pros because it stays calm and predictable. A dynamic crosshair that expands while running and shooting can help beginners get a feel for inaccuracy – experienced players usually turn it off. Try both and decide which gives you more confidence.

Why optimize the crosshair at all?

It sounds like a small thing, but the crosshair is the point you look at every single second. A clearly visible, familiar crosshair unconsciously takes work off your shoulders: you find the aim point faster, hold head level more easily and make decisions more calmly. Precisely because it's so easy to set up, the crosshair is one of the most rewarding "quick wins" for your game – a few minutes of effort that stay with you over thousands of rounds.

Which crosshair color is best?

There's no universal answer – it depends on what your eyes respond to best. Still, a few pointers: Cyan is the classic choice of many pros because it stands out on almost every map. Green is considered especially easy on the eyes. Yellow or white are highly visible but can get lost on bright surfaces – an outline helps here. Try two or three colors in the practice range and stick with the one you find your aim point fastest with.

Which crosshair suits me?

The choice depends on your playstyle. Aggressive players who take a lot of close-range fights often do well with a small, compact cross. Those who play more precisely at range may like an extra center dot. Some swear by a pure dot because it barely blocks the view. There is no "right" – all that matters is that you always clearly recognize your aim point. Take a pro crosshair as a starting point and adjust it step by step.

Should I change my crosshair often?

Short answer: no. As tempting as it is to constantly try new crosshairs – your aim gets used to a specific crosshair. Frequent switching prevents exactly that adaptation. It's better to commit to one crosshair, play it consistently for a few weeks and only gently tweak small things. Your brain then learns to hit the aim point automatically – and that is exactly what makes you more precise.

Common crosshair mistakes

• Too big: a huge crosshair blocks exactly what you want to hit.
• Too subtle: a crosshair that is too thin or pale gets lost in the heat of battle.
• Constant switching: prevents your aim from settling in.
• Firing error on despite being distracting: the expansion while shooting distracts some players – test whether it helps you or not.

Crosshair and your aim training

A good crosshair doesn't replace training, but it supports it. When practicing, make sure to always keep your crosshair at head level – most duels are decided by who gets their aim point onto the enemy's head faster. A clearly visible, familiar crosshair helps you hold that head level intuitively. Combine this with regular aim training and you'll notice a clear difference over the weeks.

Do I really have to use a pro crosshair?

No. Pro crosshairs are an excellent starting point because they are well thought out and battle-tested – but they aren't a magic bullet. The best aim point is the one you feel comfortable with and hit best with. Use the codes above for inspiration, copy one you like, and refine it until it feels right for you. That's exactly the appeal: in the end your crosshair is as individual as your playstyle.

What the pro crosshairs have in common

Looking at the pros' codes above, a few things stand out in common. Almost all rely on a small, compact crosshair that barely blocks the view. Most skip the firing error indicator because they already know their weapons' recoil and prefer a calm image. It's also striking how many go for cyan or green – colors that stand out well from the background on nearly every map. Some use an extra center dot, others a pure cross. This shows: there isn't one perfect crosshair, but clear principles – small, clearly visible and calm. If you align your own crosshair with these principles, you can hardly go wrong.

Crosshair trends in the community

Over the years, certain preferences have emerged in the Valorant community. The trend clearly leans toward minimalist crosshairs: small crosses or pure dots, often in cyan. Large, flashy crosshairs with many lines are rarely seen at a high level because they block more than they help. At the same time, many players experiment with a dot ever since well-known pros made it popular. In the end, though, such trends are only suggestions – your crosshair has to fit your eyes and your playstyle, not a fashion. Use the trends as a starting point, but dare to deviate if something else suits you better.

Save and share crosshair settings

Once you have found your perfect crosshair, you should note down or save the export code. That way you can restore it instantly after reinstalling the game or on another PC – and easily pass it on to friends. Just as you grab the pros' codes here, others can benefit from yours. A quick screenshot of the code or an entry in your notes is enough so your favourite crosshair is never lost.

Setting the crosshair on console

If you play Valorant on console, the crosshair works exactly like on PC: you find the settings in the same menu and can import the same codes. Because you aim with a controller on console, many players prefer a slightly larger, clearly visible crosshair that shows the aim point clearly even during fast movements. Feel free to try a pro crosshair from PC and enlarge it slightly if needed – the import path is identical.

Crosshair and colour blindness

Not everyone perceives colours the same way. For those with red-green deficiency, cyan, white or yellow are often more recognisable than green or red. Valorant offers a whole range of crosshair colours, so you can find a clearly visible option regardless of your colour perception. Take a moment to test different colours against different backgrounds in practice mode. A crosshair you see instantly on every map is worth more than one that only looks "cool" on paper.

Conclusion

A good crosshair is set up quickly and makes a noticeable difference. Thanks to the code function you can adopt any pro's crosshair with one click – from TenZ to Demon1. Start with one of the codes above, keep it small and clear, and adjust colour and size to your feel. And then: stick with it instead of constantly switching. That way your crosshair becomes a reliable tool that helps you hit more precisely round after round.
