Crosshair is quite important as a factor in every First Person Shooter game, you basically can't just play without a Crosshair and you can't improve if you are not playing with a Crosshair that meets with your preference. As Valorant is also an FPS game choosing the right Crosshair is very essential.

There are lots of things you can edit and play within crosshair settings. The final look of your crosshair depends on how you adjust those settings. Before adjusting your settings, you need to understand the explanation of every setting possible.
There are a variety of colors you could choose from, in Valorant or FPS games in general, you shouldn't choose a color only because it is your favorite color, you should choose a color that is suitable for the map you're playing and need to make sure that the color does not blend with the map. As Valorant has colorful maps, try to pick a color that contrasts with the map design. For example, in map Icebox, choosing Cyan color there is not very ideal as you won't be comfortable aiming with that certain color in the map. So our summary here is to pick a color that goes well with the design of the map.
The outlines are crosshair's outer edges highlighted in black. It usually helps with the problem of the crosshair blends with the map design, you can try it and see if you go along with it. You can also edit its opacity and thickness.
This is a dot that appears in the middle of your crosshair when enabled. Some players like to have it on when they play with gapped crosshairs to line up their headshots. You can also adjust the opacity and thickness of your center dot.
When this option is enabled, the top of your crosshair will fade if you spray way too much at once and you're firing goes out of control. For newer players we think that this is a good option to turn on so that you know when you should stop spraying, but when you get used to knowing you should stop spraying and could do it on your own without the help of the option, you should turn it off as it might distract you at some point.
Those lines are the heart of your crosshair. Adjusting the Inner and Outer lines actually creates your crosshair. In this option, you can adjust the opacity, length, thickness, and distance to build your crosshair.
It is very important to have a crosshair that you're comfortable with, so choosing a crosshair is very essential to get better at the game. If you're struggling with which crosshair you should create, we have collected some Professional players' crosshairs so you could choose between them easily.
