If you’ve played any FPS game in recent years, you’re familiar with what a crosshair is. It’s the dot in the center of your screen and it shows you where your bullets are supposed to go. Simple.

But unlike other games, in VALORANT you can customize your crosshair endlessly, and a lot of players do just that. But why? Why is it so important to know how to customize your crosshairs, and what are the best crosshairs?

The answer to the first question is simple. Knowing how to customize your crosshair can make help you with making a crosshair that fits your specific needs. You can make your crosshair bigger and easier to see, you can make it smaller and more accurate, or you can make specific crosshairs that help you with your lineups. The usefulness of a well-customized crosshair can not be understated.

And with that out of the way, let’s see some great crosshairs used by pros!
