Riot Games released new quality of life (QOL) changes to crosshair and crosshair settings in Valorant via Patch 5.04 after listening to player feedback and opinions. Riot has brought in a tonne of crosshair customization options in Valorant Episode 5 Act II. Thanks to the new update, Valorant players are showing off their artistic flair by creating unique and funny crosshairs. Crosshairs are a vital part of FPS (First Person Shooter) games and they add to the effectiveness of shooting but can also put a smile on your teammates’ faces in the middle of a tense game.
Let us first have a look at some of the changes that the company brought forth in patch 5.04:
Custom crosshair color
Ability to independently tune horizontal and vertical crosshair lines.
Ability to copy spectating players' crosshairs.
Available crosshair profiles have been increased from 10 to 15.
Creative, funny crosshair creations in Valorant
Team SoloMid (TSM) X player Mirna "athxna" Noureldin chimed in on the new crosshairs and wrote, “These new crosshairs are like a f**** zoo out there last night in my ranked game someone had 2 vertical lines as their crosshair and when I asked why he said ‘so I can pause the game’ I’m just at a loss for words.”
Some of the new designs that players are experimenting with are as follows -
The Nerd
Twitter user Jioon came up with the idea for the “Nerd” crosshair that resembles spectacles. All you need to do is import the following code in-game in your settings:
0;s;1;P;c;8;t;2;o;1;d;1;b;1;a;0.462;f;0;0t;10;0l;14;0v;0;0g;1;0o;5;0a;0.308;0f;0;1t;1;1l;6;1v;0;1g;1;1o;18;1a;0;1m;0;1f;0;S;d;0
The video posted by Jioon currently has 64K likes and 7.9K retweets. Notably, Valorant streamer and Youtuber schrodingerlee also used the Nerd crosshair in his game.
The God crosshair
“By the power of Christ, I will one tap. Amen!,” said Valorant caster and streamer Priya aka CozyJozie. The crosshair looks like a cross with a long vertical line and a shorter horizontal one. CozyJozie’s God CROSShair video on Twitter had amassed 11.1K likes at the time of writing.
The code for the God crosshair is: 0;p;0;P;u;000000FF;h;0;f;0;0t;5;0v;13;0g;1;0o;0;0a;1;0f;0;1b;0
Valorant Champions logo
Twitter user nsjpeg made a topical design. With Valorant Champions just around the corner, the player chose to mimic the Valorant Champions trophy in-game. The crosshair resembles the hourglass shape of the Champions Trophy and is in gold color.
The crosshair code is: 0;P;c;4;h;0;d;1;z;3;0t;5;0l;0;0v;1;0g;1;0o;1;0a;1;0f;0;1t;7;1l;0;1g;1;1o;2;1a;1;1m;0;1f;0
Jokes and fun aside, the new QOL updates have made it possible for players to have wide crosshairs while still playing on 1920x1080 resolution. FunPlus Phoenix’s Valorant player Dmitry "SUYGETSU" Ilyushin said, “I just noticed that now you can play on 1920x1080 with a wide crosshair. Looks insane. Thoughts?”
The code for this wide crosshair is: 0;P;h;0;f;0;s;0;0l;4;0v;3;0g;1;0o;2;0a;1;0f;0;1b;0
Having the right crosshair is important while playing FPS games. However, if your aim is immaculate and you want to have a little fun in the game, you can play around and sport these, funny creative Valorant crosshairs.
