Crosshair style can vary from player to player and just because you copy Shroud Valorant Crosshair Settings, does not mean that you’ll instantly start to hit shots like him. However, there is an argument to be made that certain aspects of the best Valorant player’s crosshairs all share similarities that have some benefits.
A smaller crosshair for example will help you be more accurate when aiming as less of the target will be blocked by the crosshair itself. It is also a good idea to change the color of the crosshair so that it contrasts enemies and objects on the maps.
If you are playing a character that has a lot of lineups you might want to have a crosshair color that contrasts blue as you may be looking at the sky a lot and will want to be as accurate and quick when lining up as possible.
This is the crosshair profile that Shroud uses:

Here are the graphics settings that Shroud uses for Valorant:
The settings in the ‘General’ category that Shroud uses are fairly standard and will be set to your monitor. Some players will change aspect ratio to something like 4:3 or 16:10 and then use a stretched resolution but these settings are all personal preference.
Whilst some settings in ‘Graphics Quality’ will change depending on the strength of your PC, others are switched on or off because of their impact ingame.
Shroud has ‘Bloom’ and ‘Distortion’ turned off for example because they can cause distractions. The setting ‘Improve Clarity’ is switched on so that it sharpens images and makes enemies clearer. This will be a benefit in Valorant as there will be fewer distractions on the screen. As a result this setting will also improve your fps. For this same reason ‘Detail Quality’ can be set to low as it can remove distractions and boost performance as the game renders objects more simply. This is one of the best Valorant settings.
Having the Valorant Pro settings in so many aspects of a setup will impact what you use as personal preference when it comes to things like your crosshair. However, there’s definitely settings that can be changed to improve the performance of your setup, and also give you an advantage in-game.
