Finding the best crosshair for newbies in Valorant can be quite tricky. There are many factors and settings that you must tweak to get the one you like. And sometimes what we just like may not be the best compared to other players with our skill set. And if you’re a beginner, facing the professional players’ eyeballs directly may not help you improve yourself. So instead of giving you direct values, we’ll help you create them for yourself through the settings menu in this guide. With that said, let’s take a look at the best Valorant scope settings for beginners that you need to change now.
The best Valorant scope for beginners
If you are a beginner, here are some tips on how to get the best Valorant scope for beginners in your settings:
- Use blue crosshairs
- Change enemy color to yellow
- Enable advanced options
- Enable the display of the spectator’s crosshair
- Use Fade Crosshair with shooting bug
- Change inner liner options
- Change Aiming Aim Settings
- Optimization of sniper scope settings
- Try CSGO style crosshair
Below we will detail a few key points that you need to know.
Use blue crosshairs
If you are a beginner, then the first setting you need to change is the crosshair color. The main goal here is to keep the color of the contract on the map and on the enemies around you. You can start with blue, which is very hard to find on almost all maps in Valorant. If you plan on choosing green, white, or other colors instead, be sure to use the help of the world wheel to find the opposite color.
Change enemy color to yellow
The same crosshair color logic applies to enemy outlines. Even though the default color is red, you should make it yellow to make them easier to select. And since blue is pretty much opposite on the color wheel, they both make a good contract combination. In theory, this should help you spot and simulate your enemies much easier than before.
Enable advanced options
This is important for preparing your first steps towards the best sight. No matter what level you’re at, check it out for yourself, all the different perks you can unlock with this one option.
Enable the display of the spectator’s crosshair
This will allow you to check which scopes other players of your level are currently using. And in spectator mode, you can determine if their crosshair style will be useful to you, depending on their gameplay.
Use Fade Crosshair with shooting bug
Enabling the “Disappearing crosshair on shooting error”feature will allow you to immediately better aim in the game. The idea is that as soon as the recoil of the weapon you are using becomes strong, the top of the crosshair disappears. This is a sign that you need to stop spraying bullets now and pause for a second. This will reset your recoil and allow you to better aim and fire your next burst of bullets. Check it out in the training area to see how it works with different weapons in the game.
Bonus: Try a CSGO-style crosshair
If you come from CSGO, then there are some settings you can change to make your crosshair resemble the one you are familiar with. We will use the help of Sero (YT), whose video this article is mainly based on:
