The dot crosshair is one of the more popular options amongst Valorant players. With a dot crosshair you gain the precision needed for one taps and transfers. Dot crosshairs are naturally small giving you more visibility. This makes it great for adjusting spray control.
Dot Crosshair
The standard dot crosshair is a small circle that is easily visible. This dot crosshair is slightly larger than the dots you may be used to seeing pros use. However, it is a great starting point for anyone trying to perfect the art of one taps. After getting used to the standard dot you can always move to a smaller dot crosshair to perfect your aim.

Small Dot Crosshair
A small dot crosshair is a great alternative if you find the standard dot too big. For some players, the small dot might be a little difficult to see. As a result, you may want to use a vibrant color that stands out from the background. Due to the small size, the crosshair works fairly well when aiming down sight.

Circle Crosshair
A circle crosshair is a hollowed-out version of the standard dot. While it isn’t a perfect circle, it does give the appearance of one. The hollow center gives better visibility when aiming for heads. As a result, the circle crosshair is better for one taps than spraying.

Square Dot Crosshair
If you’re not a fan of circles then you might like the square dot crosshair. While most people prefer a round dot, the square dot is also a viable option. Because of the settings used for a square dot it is easy to customize the size as needed.

Advanced Crosshair Options
When creating your Valorant crosshair you can turn on the advanced crosshair options. With the option enabled you will have two extra crosshair options. In addition to the primary crosshair, you will also get aim down sights and sniper scope crosshair options.
The aim down sight crosshair has all the same settings as the primary crosshair. This allows you to create a different dot for when you aim in. However, the sniper crosshair only has limited settings. With the sniper scope you can only adjust the color, opacity, and thickness. Fortunately, the sniper crosshair is already a dot by default.
Best Color for a Dot Crosshair
While there isn’t a specific best color for a dot crosshair, most players use cyan and white. You will want to use whatever color you like the most for your crosshair. We recommend using a color that is different from your enemy’s highlight color. This will make it easier to differentiate between your crosshair and the edges of an enemy for better accuracy.
How to Use Valorant Crosshair Profiles
In order to help players set up and share their crosshairs easier, Riot added profiles to Valorant. Profiles allow you to save crosshair settings to your account. You can also export the settings into a profile code. The profile code can then be used by anyone to load your selected settings. You can find all of the profile options above the crosshair settings.
Import Crosshair Profiles
- Open the Valorant crosshair settings.
- Click the import profile button.
- Copy-paste in the crosshair code you want to use.
- Click “Import”.
- Click “Okay”.
Export Crosshair Profiles

- Click the export profile code button to copy it to your clipboard.
- Paste the code to share it with friends.
Final Thoughts
Valorant crosshair settings give you a range of options. This allows you to customize any crosshair to your liking. While dot crosshairs are limiting, the ability to change the color and size is all you need. If you are used to a larger crosshair then starting with a larger dot is recommended.
