Run the crosshair your pro runs.

There is no single "best" — the most-copied pro setups in 2026 are TenZ's small cyan dot, Aspas's tight green plus, Demon1's classic white cross, and yay's static outline. Ascend's gallery surfaces each pro's exact import code so you can test them against your own playstyle.

Search the player's name on Ascend's /crosshairs gallery — verified pro entries include the exact import code, source, and date last updated. Codes also exist on VLR.gg and player Twitter handles but Ascend mirrors them in a copy-one-click format with a live preview.

Visual clarity matters more than the specific shape — pros consistently choose small, high-contrast crosshairs (1-2 px outlines, cyan or white) because they don't obscure the target's head at engagement range. Switching crosshairs frequently hurts more than any single choice helps, so pick one and stick with it for at least a week.

No — crosshair import codes are an official Riot feature built into the client. Every code on Ascend uses standard in-game crosshair settings only, with no third-party software, overlays, or modifications.

The code is a semicolon-separated list of settings: 'P' = primary profile, 'c' = color, 'o' = outline, 'd' = dot, '0t/0l/0v/0h' = inner-line thickness/length/offset/show, '1t/1l/...' = outer-line equivalents. Ascend's gallery decodes each code visually so you can see the result before importing.

Yes — sign in with Discord on /crosshairs, paste your import code, give it a title, and Ascend generates a shareable link with a live preview image. Other players can copy your code with one click and import it into VALORANT.

In-game crosshairs scale with your resolution and FOV — Ascend's preview renders at a fixed 1080p reference so the relative size matches what most pros see. If yours appears thicker, check that 'Use Advanced Options' is enabled in VALORANT settings.

A dot crosshair is a single 1-4 px center pixel — favoured by flick-heavy duelists (TenZ, yay) for unobstructed target visibility. A plus is the classic four-line cross used by most pros, tuned tight to keep the head visible at distance. Outline crosshairs add a 1 px black border so the inner color stays readable on bright maps like Breeze and Sunset.

Cyan (color 1) and green (color 2) are the most-picked because they contrast cleanly against VALORANT's warm map palettes and most agent abilities. White (color 0) is the next most common — pros pick it when they want a single neutral that reads on every map without retraining the eye.
