Best Pro Settings for VALORANT

Almost all VALORANT pro game settings are the same, as at the highest level, the gaming equipment used is often standardized and best on the market. While the best VALORANT players can all use the highest settings, they almost always try to restrict their in-game settings to give them maximum performance.

• Resolution – Desktop Native and Full Screen
• Crosshair – Cyan and Minimal Center Dot
• Key Binds – ASWD & User Preference
• Sensitivity – Lower for Beginners & User preference for Experts

VALORANT Pro Settings – Resolution

Playing on Full Screen gives the maximum frame rate and information instead of Windowed or Full Screen Windowed.

If you have an older PC, it is recommended that you cap your frame rate to prevent huge variations in FPS, which can negatively impact your gameplay. However, pros uncap their frame rate, as their top-of-the-line equipment will continuously perform at the highest levels.

Playing with all quality settings to low aims to maximize the game’s performance by getting a higher frame rate, allowing you to react milliseconds quicker, which in pro play makes a huge difference. However, playing in medium-quality settings is generally the way for newer players, as there is only a small difference in frame rate for a trade-off of playing a nicer-looking game.

VALORANT Pro Settings – Crosshair

Your VALORANT crosshair is highly customizable, changing almost every aspect from inner lines, outer lines, dots, size, thickness, firing error, movement error, and many more. Crosshair settings and options may be confusing, especially for new or casual players. This is why we have covered some of the best VCT crosshairs in VALORANT.

While some pro players use unique crosshairs, most have very similar ones. While these crosshairs are still visible, they have settings that will not block the player’s vision, giving them the best information to land their shots.

1. Cyan is one of the better VALORANT crosshair colors to choose, as there are not many areas in the game that have the same or even similar color. This means the crosshair stands out, allowing you to judge the center of your screen better and, ultimately, where you are aiming.
2. Inner lines are set to give a more compact crosshair. These numbers are generally low to compact the crosshair further and minimize distractions. Outer lines are turned off as they are widely considered to be unnecessary indicators that serve as a distraction.
3. Center dot being turned on or off is entirely up to preference. However, many pros, like TenZ, prefer the center of their cross hair to be left open, as they can more precisely see where they are aiming, especially when trying to land long range head shots.

Popular Crosshair Styles

Dot/Box

The dot crosshair VALORANT is primarily used by those who pursue a higher headshot rate, as getting a first shot accurate with a single focal point is easier.

Fun (Instagram)

With the various settings you can play with, making funny VALORANT crosshairs is entirely possible. This even includes making a crosshair representing the Instagram logo. While you will never see this in a VALORANT pro player setting in professional play, as it may be distracting in competitive play, they are fun to use, with Hiko popularizing its use on his Twitch stream.

VALORANT Pro Settings – Key Binds

Keys binds are completely personal, and is based not of only preference, but a player’s physical equipment. This is especially so for mouse binds, where mouses have varying amounts of buttons at equally varying placements.

Generally, starting with the default key bindings is all right. However, if you feel uncomfortable reaching some keys, you can easily rebind the associated command with any other key.

VALORANT Pro Sensitivity Settings

There are two extremes: low- and high-sensitivity players. Most pros play low-sense to get more precise shots. However, a few pros play high sensitivity to maximize reaction time. Playing low-sense, like Tenz’s VALORANT pro player settings, requires a large mousepad and desk space, which may be out of reach for some casual players.
