Valorant is a game where skill and aim are key. To get better at it, you need to know how to aim and change some settings. Good aim helps you win in tough matches. But it’s not just about how much you play. Your settings matter a lot.
Your game settings affect how well you see targets, hold your aim steady, and hit your shots. Good settings give you:
A steady aim.
Less tiredness when you play long.
Better comfort and quick reactions.
Mouse DPI (Dots Per Inch) shows how fast your mouse moves.
Effective DPI (eDPI) is found by DPI times in-game sensitivity.
Most Valorant players have an eDPI of 200 to 400.
Low sensitivity helps with tiny moves.
High sensitivity lets you react fast but may hurt your aim.
Pro Tip: Pick a sensitivity that feels right and lets you move your aim smoothly.
Mouse Settings for Aim
Use a mouse with a 1000 Hz polling rate for quick response.
Turn on “Raw Input Buffer” in settings to lower input delay and keep aim steady.
Crosshair Settings: The Best Visual Cue
A small and still crosshair helps with aiming.
Turn off moving crosshair for steady aim.
Pick a color that stands out against the map, like cyan or bright green.
Stay away from super bright or noisy colors.
Many pro players share their crosshair codes. Find one you like and change it if you need.
Graphics Settings for Better Play
Keep your monitor’s native resolution for a clear view.
Limit your FPS to just below your monitor’s refresh rate for a stable game.
A high-refresh-rate monitor (144 Hz or more) helps cut down input lag.
Turn all graphics settings to low or off, except for Texture Quality (medium or high for clear view).
Make keybinds fit how your hands hold the mouse naturally.
Map keys for abilities that need small finger moves.
Try palm, claw, or fingertip grips to see what feels best for aiming.
Use stereo headphones for clear sound cues.
Set the main volume loud enough to hear soft sounds, like feet.
Lower music volume to stay focused.
Practice to Get Better
Programs like Kovaak’s or Aim Lab are great for training.
Use the shooting range to work on flicks, tracking, and who to aim for every day.
Get a big mousepad for low sensitivity.
A high-refresh-rate monitor (240 Hz) keeps your game smooth and cuts down blur.
Pro Settings to Copy
Many pros share their Valorant settings. Some worth noting are:
TenZ: Known for low sensitivity and a small crosshair.
ScreaM: Uses settings for headshot hits.
Yay: Likes simple and comfy settings.
Getting your Valorant settings right is key for good aim, but practice and being steady will get you far. Try the settings above, keep track of how you do, and adjust as needed to make the best play style for you.
