Valorant Crosshair Codes and How to Import Them

Valorant crosshair codes are short lines of text that hold every crosshair setting, so a crosshair can travel from one player to another with a copy and a paste. To use one, open Settings, go to the Crosshair tab, click the import button beside the profile list, paste the code and confirm. Import is a normal part of the game and costs nothing.

What Valorant crosshair codes are

A code looks like a row of letters and numbers separated by semicolons, starting with a zero. Each pair stands for one setting: the color, the length and thickness of the lines, the gap in the middle, whether there is a center dot, and so on. The game writes the code and reads it back, so you never have to understand it.

Codes come from three places: a friend who exports their crosshair for you, players and streamers who post theirs, and community pages that collect hundreds of them. Whatever the source, a code can only change how your crosshair looks. It cannot touch anything else in your game.

How to import a crosshair code in Valorant

1. Copy the full code, from its first character to its last.
2. In Valorant, open Settings (the gear icon at the top of the screen, or Esc during a match) and go to the Crosshair tab.
3. Next to the Crosshair Profile list, click the import icon, the arrow that points down.
4. Paste the code into the box with Ctrl+V and confirm.
5. The crosshair is added to your list as a new profile. Select it and give it a name you will recognize.

If the game does not accept the code, it is almost always a copy problem: a piece is missing at the end, or a space or a line break came along with it. Go back to the source and copy it again. If your profile list is full, delete a profile you no longer use.

Before you queue, take the new crosshair to the Range. Shoot bots at different distances and in front of different walls, and check that you can always see it.

Copy a player's crosshair, and share your own

You do not need a code to take a crosshair you like during a match. While you are spectating a player, for example a teammate after you die, type /crosshair copy in the chat, or the short form /cc. The crosshair of the player you are watching is saved to your profiles. For most people who ask how to copy a crosshair in Valorant, this command is the whole answer.

Sharing works the other way round. Select your profile in the Crosshair tab and click the export icon, the arrow that points up. The code is now on your clipboard, and you can paste it into any chat for a friend to import.

Build the popular crosshairs yourself

Most shared codes are small variations of three styles. Each can be made by hand in the Primary part of the Crosshair tab.

Small static cross. The most common choice in competitive play. Center dot off, outer lines off, inner lines on with opacity 1, length 4, thickness 2 and offset 2. Turn Movement Error and Firing Error off so it never changes size.

Dot. Center dot on with thickness 2 or 3, inner and outer lines off, outlines on so the dot does not vanish on bright surfaces. It is precise for single shots at heads, but easy to lose in a crowded fight.

Learning cross. The small cross again, with Firing Error left on. The lines open while your spray becomes inaccurate, which teaches you when to stop shooting and reset. Move to the static version once the habit is there.

There are also joke crosshairs shaped like flowers, smiley faces or boxes. They are fun in unrated games, but they hide the head you are aiming at.

What makes a crosshair good

Color. Pick one that does not appear on the maps or on enemies. Cyan and green are popular for exactly that reason, and the game also accepts a custom color. If you play with the yellow enemy highlight, do not use a yellow crosshair.

Size. Small enough to see a head behind it at long range, large enough that you still find it when abilities fill the screen.

Stillness. A static crosshair shows the same picture in every fight, and that is what your hand learns from.

Then give it time. Changing your crosshair every evening feels like progress, but aim comes from seeing the same picture many times. Choose one, keep it for two weeks, and judge it after that.

A crosshair copied from a professional player does not come with their aim. It only removes one excuse.

A crosshair is also only one part of winning rounds. Positioning, trading kills and buying with your team matter more, and we cover them in our tips for ranking up in Valorant solo queue.

Frequent questions about crosshair codes

Are crosshair codes allowed in Valorant?

Yes. Import, export and the copy command were built into the game by Riot, so using them carries no risk for your account.

What is the best crosshair for beginners?

A small static cross in cyan or green, or the learning cross described above if you still spray too long. Avoid very large crosshairs: they feel safe but hide the target.

Does the crosshair change when I aim down sights?

Only if you want it to. The crosshair settings let aiming down sights copy your primary crosshair or use its own, and a separate section controls the center dot of sniper scopes.

Do crosshair codes cost Valorant Points?

No. Crosshairs are free for every player. Valorant Points are for cosmetics such as weapon skins.

Skins are the part that needs VP

Your crosshair is free, and so is everything else that helps you aim. What costs Valorant Points is how your weapons look. Mas4Games sells Valorant VP codes for accounts of the Türkiye region, and a code only works in the region it was issued for, so check your account's region first.
