How to select a suitable crosshair in Valorant

Apart from your aim and game sense, one of the vital factors required for ideal performance in Valorant is a good crosshair. While most people tend to copy the crosshairs of professional players, it is not the best practice. This is mainly because the crosshairs are made by pros to suit their gameplay style, agent selection, and combat range. Thus, merely copying the crosshair will not benefit anyone in any way.

How to pick a good crosshair in Valorant - Tips and Tricks 

If you are a beginner player trying to pick a suitable crosshair and do not know any guidelines, consider the following factors:

1. Range of combat: The essential criterion everyone should keep in mind while making a crosshair is the combat range distance. If you are a close-range player, you should try to use a big crosshair. But on the other, if you are a medium or long-range player like a sniper, try to use a small crosshair to swap faster.
2. Color of the crosshair: Always try to pick a color that allows you to identify enemies in any map type, let be a dark map like a fracture or something as vibrant/light as Breeze. Your crosshair color should be able to perform under any conditions. Some of the best colors that would excel in any situation include Purple(#800080), Turquoise(#40E0D0), and Cardinal Red (#C41E3A).

3. Design of the crosshair: While creating a crosshair, try to make one with a minimum design pattern instead of using all the features in the crosshair maker. Making a simple crosshair allows you to focus on enemies and play much better instead of getting distracted by your crosshair on the screen. Due to this, we highly recommend players stay away from weird or funny crosshairs like Kitty, Smiley, or BTS.
4. Shooting Mechanic: The way you shoot also plays a vital role in selecting your crosshair. If you are the type of guy who likes to spray a lot, try to have a crosshair with inner/outlines so that you can control your recoil using the edges of the lines. But on the other hand, if you like to burst fire, a crosshair with a single dot like Shuriken, Circle, or Dot crosshair can do wonders.
