Best Valorant Crosshairs For Beginners

As a beginner, stepping into the competitive world of Valorant is a challenging task and mastering your crosshair placement is a recipe for success.

Accuracy and reliable aim are paramount in Valorant since your potency relies on landing consistent headshots. 

However, to improve your aim, you first must find the perfect crosshair that is appropriate for your skill level and fits your playstyle as well.

This crosshair is an improved version of the default crosshair with a few key features targeted at helping beginners.

The main difference is the color and the size of the crosshair, aiming to help beginners improve their crosshair positioning as well as provide higher visual clarity overall.

Additionally, unlike the default crosshair, our adjusted crosshair enables movement and firing error, as well as the override firing error offset feature. These features are enabled with the intent to help beginners better understand their accuracy and aim when moving.

The Green Traditional

This Valorant crosshair setting is perfect if you’re still a beginner, but have a decent understanding of how aim and movement work in the game.

The color of choice is green as it’s a very popular one that stands out against the background, with a slightly smaller inner line length that allows you to take precise long-range shots.

Crosshair options similar to this are very commonly used because they’re similar to the default crosshair in CS:GO which is a game that many players used to play before they transitioned to Valorant.

Crimson Spray Control

Code (copy-paste): 

0;P;c;8;b;1;t;2;o;0.55;z;2;a;1;0t;2;0l;6;0v;6;0o;7;0a;1;0s;1;0e;1;1t;2;1l;2;1v;2;1o;10;1a;0.35;1s;1;1e;1;u;D0021BFF;d;0;h;1;0g;0;1g;0;0f;0;1f;1;0m;0;1m;1;0b;1;1b;0;m;1

This crosshair is slightly less focused on helping you with precision as it’s adjusted to have a large gap in the middle. Its design focuses on improving your spray aim in close-range combat while giving up some of the precision in long-range shootouts.

While sacrificing a bit of your aim, this crosshair is perfect for beginners as it should help you understand the spray patterns of the weapons in the game better over time. 

Snowy Stretcher

Code (copy-paste): 0;P;c;8;b;1;t;2;o;0.9;z;2;a;1;0t;2;0l;10;0v;5;0o;1;0a;0.55;0s;1;0e;1;1t;2;1l;2;1v;2;1o;10;1a;0.35;1s;1;1e;1;u;FFFFFF;d;0;h;1;0g;1;1g;0;0f;1;1f;1;0m;1;1m;1;0b;1;1b;0;m;0

This variant of the cross-shaped crosshair mostly helps players who have very stretched resolution monitors, mainly because of its inner line length settings.

Apart from that, this crosshair is a very safe pick for any beginner because of its thickness and color, making it very easy to follow along and distinct from the background. 

White Widow

Code (copypaste): 0;P;c;8;b;1;t;1;o;0.5;z;2;a;1;0t;1;0l;6;0v;6;0o;0;0a;1;0s;1;0e;1;1t;2;1l;2;1v;2;1o;10;1a;0.35;1s;1;1e;1;u;FFFFFF;d;0;h;1;0g;0;1g;0;0f;0;1f;1;0m;0;1m;1;0b;1;1b;0;m;0

The variations of this white cross are very popular among the player base and they’ve been used by almost every professional player out there.

By using a crosshair like this, you will start relying on your accuracy and positioning if you want to land tricky shots which will be skill-intense and rewarding.

While being a solid choice, it is somewhat more demanding than the larger, more transparent crosshairs we’ve already mentioned.

What makes a good crosshair for beginners

Crosshair color

A well-chosen crosshair color is important for several reasons, mainly because it can increase visibility and clarity when you’re aiming 

Nothing feels worse than losing track of your crosshair because it blends with the background while you’re spraying.

For this reason, it’s recommended to choose a bright color which contrasts with the commonly used color schemes of the maps in the game.

Another advantage of bright crosshairs is in low-light combat which can occur in small rooms or in nighttime settings.

A bright and contrasting crosshair is an advantageous choice in this situation as it stands out more against darker backgrounds

All of this results in cyan being the best and most commonly used crosshair color, given that there are almost no blue/cyan objects on the map.

It’s closely followed by green and red which are also commonly used and are solid choices overall.

Crosshair shape

When it comes to the shape of your crosshair, personal preference is the key to making the right choice as different crosshairs excel on different weapon types.

If you’re a complete beginner to FPS games in general, your best choice is to try a large dynamic crosshair that will help you improve your aim.

Even though pro players use it, newbies should certainly avoid dot crosshairs as it’s quite difficult to track your movement at first.

On top of that, the usual cross-shaped crosshairs use horizontal and vertical lines to help you see your target, which the dot naturally lacks.

Dynamic vs static crosshairs

Static and dynamic crosshairs differ based on their shape and appearance when you shoot. Static crosshairs, much like the name suggests, always keep their original shape, while dynamic crosshairs change when you’re shooting.

For complete beginners, dynamic crosshairs are a good choice for several reasons.

The main advantage of dynamic crosshairs is that they help you improve your aim over time.

That’s because dynamic crosshairs get wider as you move and spray, indicating that your accuracy has significantly reduced and that you need to stop shooting.

These useful visual cues act like real-time feedback on your accuracy, allowing you to understand how movement impacts your aim intuitively

All in all, crosshair choice comes down to personal preference and finding the best crosshair settings as a beginner involves experimentation and adaptation to your playstyle.

Test out several crosshair options and see which ones you prefer in practice instead of just shooting in practice range, as you will able to see practical implications with different weapon types.
