Copying a crosshair in Valorant is done by importing a crosshair profile code — a short alphanumeric string that encodes every crosshair setting at once. You find a code from a pro player or community source, open the Crosshair tab in Settings, paste the code, and hit Import. The whole process takes about 30 seconds and requires no manual slider adjustments.
Before you start, you need Valorant installed and a crosshair code ready to paste. Codes look like 0;s;1;P;c;1;h;0;m;1;0;l;4;o;1;d;1;z;3;f;0;s;0 — a series of semicolon-separated values that Valorant reads as a complete crosshair profile. You can find codes for free on community databases and from pro players themselves.
How to Copy a Crosshair in Valorant
-
Step 1: Find a Crosshair Code
The first step is getting hold of a code worth copying. Pro players and content creators regularly share their crosshair profile codes on stream, in social posts, and via community databases. Reliable places to look include:
- Twitch and YouTube streams — many pros display their code on stream or respond to a !crosshair chat command.
- ProSettings.net and Tracker.gg — both maintain up-to-date pro player setting databases with shareable crosshair codes.
- Reddit r/VALORANT — the community regularly runs crosshair-sharing threads.
- Twitter / X — pros often post their codes after patch updates or gear changes.
Copy the entire code string, including all characters and semicolons, exactly as shown. Even a single missing character will produce the wrong result.
Find a crosshair code from streams, pro databases, or community sharing posts, then copy the full string. -
Step 2: Open Valorant Settings
Launch Valorant and open the Settings menu. From the main lobby, click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the screen. If you are already in a match, press Escape to open the in-game menu, then select Settings. Either route takes you to the same full Settings window.
Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the Valorant lobby, or press Escape during a match and choose Settings. -
Step 3: Navigate to the Crosshair Tab
Inside Settings, find and click the Crosshair tab in the left sidebar. The tab list includes General, Controls, Video, Audio, Crosshair, Minimap, and more. Clicking Crosshair opens the crosshair customization panel on the right side, where you will see a Profile row at the top with two buttons: Import Profile and Copy Profile Code.
Select the Crosshair tab in the left sidebar, then click "Import Profile" at the top of the page. -
Step 4: Paste the Code and Click Import
Click the Import Profile button. A dialog box appears with a text field labeled for your crosshair code. Click inside the field and paste the code you copied earlier — use Ctrl + V on PC (or Command + V on Mac). Double-check that the full string is in the field, then click the Import button to apply it.
Paste the full code into the Import Crosshair Profile dialog, then click Import to apply it instantly. -
Step 5: Preview and Save Your Crosshair
After importing, the Crosshair tab updates immediately to show the new crosshair in the Preview panel. Check that it looks the way you expected. If you want to tweak anything — color, opacity, line length, or gap — you can adjust individual settings below the preview without losing the base shape. When you are happy, your settings are saved automatically. You can also click Copy Profile Code at any time to export your crosshair and share it with others.
The preview panel shows your new crosshair immediately after import. Fine-tune individual settings or use Copy Profile Code to share it.
Tips for Picking the Right Crosshair
- Small and static beats large and dynamic. Most high-ranked players use small, gap-based crosshairs with no firing error enabled, because dynamic crosshairs grow during movement and can obscure targets.
- Color matters for visibility. Cyan and green tend to stand out against most Valorant maps, which lean toward browns, grays, and blues. Red can blend into some character abilities.
- Try a few before committing. Import codes are quick to swap, so test two or three crosshairs over a few games in The Range before deciding which feels right for your aim style.
- You can save up to 10 profiles. Name each one so you can switch between them for different agents or play styles.
Troubleshooting
The Import button is grayed out or missing
Make sure you are on the Crosshair tab specifically, not the General or Controls tab. The Import Profile button only appears in the Crosshair section.
I pasted the code but nothing changed
Check that you copied the code in full — some sources wrap codes in quotes or extra spaces that should not be included. Paste into a plain-text editor first to verify the string, then copy it again and import.
The crosshair looks different from what I expected
Some older profile codes were created on a previous game version and may not translate perfectly to current settings. Import the code as a starting point and use the individual sliders to bring it closer to what you saw on screen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find Valorant crosshair codes for pro players?
Pro crosshair codes are available on databases like ProSettings.net and Tracker.gg, which are regularly updated. You can also find them by watching a pro's stream or checking their social media — many pros post their codes after changing settings.
Can I use the same crosshair code on all agents?
Yes. Crosshair profile codes apply across all agents and all game modes. The crosshair you import will be your active crosshair regardless of which agent you pick.
How do I share my own Valorant crosshair with someone?
In the Crosshair tab, click Copy Profile Code. This copies your current crosshair as a code string to your clipboard. You can then paste it anywhere — a chat message, a tweet, or a Discord post — and anyone can import it directly into their own game.
Can I have multiple crosshair profiles saved?
Yes. Valorant lets you save up to 10 named crosshair profiles. Click the profile name field next to the Import and Copy buttons to rename or switch between profiles at any time.
Do crosshair codes work on consoles?
Valorant on PS5 and Xbox supports the same crosshair customization features. Navigate to Settings, then the Crosshair tab using the controller, and look for the import option in the Profile row.
Wrapping Up
Copying a crosshair in Valorant is one of the quickest ways to experiment with your setup. Find a profile code you like, open Settings, head to the Crosshair tab, paste it into the Import dialog, and you are done. From there you can preview the result, fine-tune individual settings, or export your own code to share. For more information on Valorant's settings and features, visit the official Valorant website.
