Best colors for dot crosshairs in VALORANT

Когда дело доходит до вашего ВАЛОРАНТ crosshair color, you want something that will not blend into most backgrounds. Avoid white or yellow и green (or green yellow), cyan, or red—unless you are on Icebox, where cyan might blend in too much. Icebox’s white backdrop calls for brighter colors like green and red, which makes it easier to recognise and hover over an enemy’s hitbox and react before they can attack you.

Why is the dot crosshair so popular in VALORANT?

A dot’s minimalistic design lets you focus on the crucial parts of an enemy hitbox—mainly the head—enabling excellent precision. In a game where every pixel-perfect precision can make all the difference, players naturally prefer crosshairs that take up less screen space. Tapping is more prevalent in ВАЛОРАНТ чем в его Counter-Strike competitor, so smaller and less noisy reticles like dots, squares, and circles make more sense than a plus.

There’s a ton of variety when it comes to ВАЛОРАНТ crosshairs. The devs graciously allow players to get creative and even let gamers steal teammates’ hard work for their benefit. The crosshair stealing practice has only become more popular and more accessible since the implementation of crosshair codes and the /cc command, which allows you to instantly copy the crosshair of a teammate without having to tinker with settings.
