If you couldn’t import the code in VALORANT for any reason. You can manually build a Dot crosshair by configuring it according to these settings.

Centre Dot Thickness: 0

We generally advise using a green color crosshair as it’s easily visible in front of almost all the surfaces, and it’s less distracting compared to the other options. To apply these settings, head over to the Settings icon on the top right of the Home Screen, navigate to the Crosshair tab, and set up a new crosshair profile from the General tab.

Copy someone’s Dot crosshair

To get a Dot crosshair in VALORANT, you can use a simple but unreliable method. You have to enter the command “/cc” when spectating another player with the Dot crosshair. This will copy their crosshair to yours. It doesn’t matter if you know them or not. The problem is that few players use the Dot crosshair, so you might not find one easily.

How to adjust Dot crosshair size and color in VALORANT

Changing Dot crosshair color:

To change your Dot crosshair color, go to Settings and use the drop-down menu. Pick the “Custom” option and type in a Hexadecimal code of the color you want. To do this, start VALORANT, click on the gear icon in the top right corner, open Settings, go to the Crosshair tab, select the Primary tab, and choose the Custom option. Next, type in the hexadecimal VALORANT crosshair color code that you prefer.

Changing Dot crosshair size:

To reduce the size of your Dot crosshair in VALORANT, you can adjust the inner line settings by making the length, thickness, and offset smaller. This enables you to reduce the crosshair size while keeping its appearance. Also, you can reduce the size of your crosshair by adjusting the outer line settings, concentrating on making the outer line thickness, length, and offset smaller. These settings directly influence the size of your crosshair.

Pros and Cons of using Dot crosshair in VALORANT

A dot crosshair in VALORANT has both positive and negative aspects. It can help players to be more precise and focused, making it easier to hit headshots and win long-distance fights. Therefore, it’s a common choice for players who want to avoid any distractions on their screens that could affect their visibility. It also helps them get better aim in VALORANT, which can be ideal for those who want to deliver multiple headshots to the opposing team.

However, it can also hinder players’ ability to spray and switch targets, so some players may struggle to keep track of a dot crosshair, especially if it has no outlines. They may prefer a simple static plus crosshair that helps them with their aim placement.
