VALORANT / PRACTICAL LESSON

Crosshair placement and movement

Aim

Make accurate shots easier by preparing your crosshair before the enemy appears.

STEP BY STEP

Try this in your next match

01

Keep your crosshair near typical head height at the angle you expect an opponent to use.

02

Stop or stabilize movement before important rifle shots.

03

Clear one angle at a time rather than exposing yourself to several positions simultaneously.

04

Train short controlled bursts before forcing long recoil patterns.

Common mistake

Shooting while continuously moving with a rifle makes otherwise simple engagements unreliable.
