The BEST PRO Crosshair Settings for Valorant

hey everyone and welcome to skillcap's guide on the best pro crosshair settings in this guide you'll learn what kind of crosshair you should be using to help increase your accuracy as well as what crosshairs the best pro players in valorem are using to gain an edge on the opponent these are your favorite pro players like hiko tens brax asus skadoodle sinatra shazam mixwell you get the idea these are the best of the best in valorant right now and you may be surprised you find that a lot of them actually use a very similar crosshair to one another and we'll be explaining exactly why at the same time if you're new to the game just copying what the pros do may not be the fastest way to improve so make sure you stay until the end as we'll be showing you the best crosshair settings to use if you're new to the game as it's actually a lot different and there are some hidden secret tricks now there are actually quite a few settings when it comes to adjusting your crosshair in ballerin and for most players this can be pretty overwhelming don't worry it's actually simpler than you think and we'll be going through each of these settings one by one first let's start with the color of your crosshair when it comes to the top pros 54 of them are using a green crosshair 31 of them are using a white crosshair and 15 of them are using a cyan crosshair which is a greenish blue color so what's the deal here well when it comes to selecting the color of your crosshair it mainly has to do with having it stand out against the background and enemy character models this makes sense why a lot of people choose a green crosshair as if you go around the maps you'll notice there simply isn't a lot of green background on the map split it's very white gray and brown on bind we see a lot of brown red tan and some blue paint and if we go to the map haven we see the same thing a lot of grey brown and tan backgrounds riot has designed it this way on purpose to help enemy models stand out more and it makes sense that so many pros pick green as this is one color that clashes the least with the background however that doesn't explain why 31 of the pros are using a white crosshair doesn't this go against what we just said given that it would blend a lot with the gray backgrounds well yes and i would say for the vast majority of players a white crosshair is one of the worst to go with that being said once you understand how pros are aiming you can begin to realize why they can use a white crosshair you see the average player actually uses their crosshair to aim surprising i know the focus of their eyes are often on the crosshair itself while their peripheral vision scans for enemies once they see an enemy in their peripheral vision they then continue to focus on their crosshair and drag it on top of the enemy and then shoot this is the opposite of what pro players do they are not focused on their crosshair and instead are scanning their entire environment around the crosshair once they see an enemy they then focus their vision on that enemy and then use their peripheral vision and muscle memory to drag their crosshair onto that enemy and because of how much training and practice they have when it comes to doing this they have an instinctual idea of where the center of their monitor is so for many pros they'd rather have their crosshair take up less of the screen and be less visible so their vision is less obstructed and they can scan their monitor for enemies and rely on their muscle memory to flick onto them there are a couple of other exceptions when it comes to crosshair color for example if you play a lot of viper well then a green crosshair probably isn't the best choice given that it will blend in with her poison and get lost in her ultimate at the same time take into consideration the enemy highlight color that you've chosen if enemies are highlighted red well then picking a red colored crosshair is not the right choice since they will blend together overall we highly recommend you just go with green as that's what the majority of the pros go with and there's logical reasons to back it up however if you're going to go with a different color just make sure it doesn't blend in with the environment enemy highlight colors or your main agent's abilities next we have arguably the most important crosshair setting in valerian the inner lines this makes up the main body of the crosshair and will determine the shape of it inner lines has four settings associated with it the first being inner line opacity this determines how transparent your crosshair will be and 100 of top pros all have this set to one which means it's the most solid it can be this makes sense as having a transparent crosshair will make keeping track of it much more difficult and essentially start making it invisible next we have line length which will determine how long the inner lines of your crosshair will be 46 of pros have this set to 4 23 have it set to 5 and the rest is spread out evenly among the other options 4 seems to be that sweet spot where it isn't so long that it's distracting and takes too much of your screen while it isn't so small that you can barely see it then we have inner line thickness which will determine how thick the inner lines will be 69 of pros have this set to two fifteen percent have it set to one and the remainder is spread out evenly among the other options when you experiment with the setting yourself you will also find anything higher than 2 makes it way too thick while having it lower than 2 makes it hard to see so it becomes obvious why the majority of pros have it set to 2. and lastly we have inner line offset which will determine how much empty space you have between the inner lines thirty eight percent of pros have this set to two twenty three percent have it set to four fifteen percent have it set to two as well as five and scream is the outlier that has it set to zero since he plays only with a dot i think this comes down the most to personal preference where 2 is the standard keeping your crosshairs small but still visible whereas pro players who put it higher than 2 want that extra space in the middle of their crosshair to clearly see what they're aiming at okay so what does all of this mean well the most popular crosshair among the pros is a line opacity of one line length of four line thickness of two and line offset of two for example shazam tens and zooms all have this exact crosshair while other notable pros have a slight variation of this one four two two theme for example sinatra is one four two three brax is one five two two and heco is one four two four basically what you should be doing is starting with one four two two as your base crosshair with line opacity always set to one and line thickness always set to two you can then change your line length from four and line offset from two but keep within a 2 point variance of these benchmarks as almost no pro player exceeds them alright the next crosshair setting is outlines and what this does is draw a black border around the inner lines to help highlight them 69 of top pros have this turned off while 31 have it enabled it makes sense as to why a lot of pros have this disabled since it indirectly makes your crosshair bigger taking more of your screen and for many of the black outlines might not even effectively highlight their crosshair for them on the other hand for the pros that do have it enabled every single one of them has the opacity set to 1 and thickness set to 1. really what this comes down to is whether you find the black borders help you keep track of your crosshair or not keep in mind that previous situation we mentioned earlier of having a green crosshair when playing viper while those black borders now help us keep track of our crosshair a little bit better when aiming on top of her green abilities this is the main advantage of having it enabled if you're a more advanced player then you probably don't need the extra help from the black border whereas if you're newer or have difficulty keeping track of your crosshair then having outlines set to 1 in opacity and thickness should be what you're doing moving on we have the infamous center dot 85 of the top pros don't use a center dot in their crosshair while 15 do overall having a center dot is definitely the exception to the rule and it makes sense why most pros play with their inner line offset set to 2 as we showed you in the previous section this causes them to be so close together that there isn't really room for a dot if they did add a dot it would basically just fill in the whole crosshair hiko is one player that uses a center dot however hiko actually plays with his inner lines much further away than most pros set to 4 instead of 2 and this gives him the space needed to actually use a center dot an even bigger exception is scream who only uses a dot with opacity set to 1 and thickness set to 2. alright moving on our next settings are outer lines which is a crosshair setting somewhat unique to valerian these will create lines that are outside of your inner lines 100 of the top pros have these turned off the main use of outer lines is that you can use them as sort of training wheels to enable movement error and firing error so that the outer lines expand when you're inaccurate while retaining the inner crosshair this is a concept we'll be diving into more detail in later on in the guide when we go over the best beginner crosshair for now all you need to know is that it's something to be used for newer players that you eventually get rid of since it will only serve to create more visual clutter on your screen next we have a crosshair setting i bet more than 90 of you didn't even know existed in the game and that's fade crosshair with firing error when this is turned on it will cause the top line in your crosshair to eventually fade away the more you spray your gun 100 of pros have this turned off and for good reason you want your crosshair to be static not making constant minute changes between every bullet as it will make it harder to have consistent accuracy and lastly we have movement error and firing error what these two settings do is cause your crosshair to expand when you move or fire your gun for example let's say we have movement error enabled now every time we move our crosshair expands and every time we stand still it goes back to normal what the expansion of the crosshair represents is how inaccurate your bullets will be the more spread out your crosshair becomes the more inaccurate you'll notice when we're standing still we're very accurate when we walk it expands only a little so we're still somewhat accurate then when we run our bullets become wildly inaccurate you'll also notice that different guns can have worse or better accuracy in different movement states for example the operator is so much more inaccurate when moving than the phantom for beginners having this enabled can be very useful since it gives you visual feedback on when you're being inaccurate basically if you're someone who finds themselves constantly shooting while moving well then you want movement error enabled so that you can see when you're accurate or not firing error does the exact same thing except it shows you how inaccurate you're being while shooting if you shoot in small bursts your crosshair barely expands as you're fairly accurate however if you spray your gun the crosshair expands a ton representing how inaccurate your bullets are in short turning on movement and a firing error is great for beginners as they act like training wheels a constant reminder of when you're being inaccurate and why your bullets aren't going where you want them to that being said 100 of pros have this turned off this is because they've already developed the muscle memory to know when they're inaccurate due to moving or firing and so they don't need the visual reminder of their crosshair expanding alright so let's get down to it here's the most popular crosshair among the top pros crosshair color is green outlines turned off center dot turned off fade when firing turned off inner line opacity set to 1 inner line length set to 4 inner line thickness set to 2 and inner line offset set to 2. movement error is turned off firing air is turned off and the outer lines are completely turned off if you're unsure of what crosshair you should be using then you really can't go wrong with this one as the majority of the top pros are currently using it however we already know some of you will be asking in the comment section for your favorite pro players crosshair settings so we decided to do you a solid and quickly show you some pros that have unique crosshairs that vary from the standard theme pause the video if you want to copy them all right lastly let's talk about the best beginner crosshair we put a lot of research into this and consulted with some of the best valorem coaches to come up with two versions of what we think are the best beginner crosshairs the first version is most similar to the pro crosshair this will make it easier for you to transition from the beginner crosshair to a pro cross air once you get better at the game we essentially keep the same setup as the pro crosshair crosshair is green and the inner lines follow the familiar 1422 pattern however we have movement error and firing error enabled this will give you visual feedback when your bullets are inaccurate we've also turned on outlines with the opacity and thickness set to one this will create a black border around your crosshair making it easier to keep track of and finally we have the center dot turned on with the opacity set to 1 and thickness set to 2. the center dot is very important as with movement and firing error turned on our inner lines will constantly be expanding the center dot will help you stay accurate while learning how bullet accuracy works in valorem just to be clear this crosshair is for beginners to get used to the movement and firing and accuracy in valorin eventually once you've mastered that we recommend you use the second beginner crosshair to help master spraying and bullet spread in valorem we use the exact same setup as the pro crosshair crosshair is green and the inner lines have the one four two two pattern however we have a movement error and firing error disabled we have outlines turned on with opacity and thickness set to 1 but we then have the center dot turned off from here we enable the outer lines with opacity set to 1 length set to 2 thickness set to 2 and most importantly offset set to 40. we then disable movement error and firing error for the outer lines what this does is have the standard pro crosshair but without our lines around it what's awesome is that the top outer line can be used for knowing how to aim your crosshair when you fully spray a vandal or phantom as this is where bullets will go after your ninth bullet watch as i spray the phantom the bullets go up until eventually maxing out and staying on top of the outer line of the crosshair this allows you to use the inner crosshair for one tapping and bursting while then using the top of the outer crosshair to aim when you're spraying alright we here at skillcap put a ton of work into this guide making sure we provided you with the most up-to-date accurate information that you won't find anywhere else but none of this would be possible
