Copy your crosshair code from the settings menu
Valorant stores your crosshair settings as a single code string that you can copy, share, and paste into another account. To find and copy this code, open Valorant and go to Settings (the gear icon in the top right). Select Crosshair from the left menu. At the bottom of the crosshair customization panel, you will see a long string of text starting with a dash — this is your crosshair code. Click the copy button next to it (usually a small icon to the right of the text field).
The code itself is just numbers and letters. It does not matter if you do not understand what each part means — Valorant reads the entire string as instructions for how to draw your crosshair. You can copy this code whether you customized your crosshair from scratch or started with one of Valorant's built-in presets.
If you are copying a crosshair from another player or from a website, the code will look the same way: a long string of characters. You do not need to type it manually. Copy the code exactly as it appears.
Key Takeaways
- Your crosshair code lives in Settings > Crosshair at the bottom of the panel, next to a copy button.
- Paste the code into another account by opening that account's Settings > Crosshair and clicking the paste button in the same location.
- The code works across all game modes and maps — pasting it once applies the crosshair to your entire account.
- You can share your crosshair code with other players, and they can use the exact same settings by pasting it into their own account.
Paste the code into your account or a new account
To use a crosshair code you have copied, log into the Valorant account where you want the crosshair to appear. Open Settings, then select Crosshair from the left menu. Scroll to the bottom of the crosshair panel. You will see the same text field where your current code appears. Click the paste button next to it (the icon to the right of the text field), and the new code will replace your old one when ready.
Valorant updates your crosshair in real time — you do not need to restart the game or confirm the change. If you are in the practice range or in a match, your crosshair will change the moment you paste. This makes it straightforward to test a crosshair code before committing to it in a real game.
If the paste does not work, make sure the code is fully copied to your clipboard. Some websites or Discord messages may add extra spaces or line breaks that break the code. Copy the code again directly from the source, and try pasting once more.
Where to find crosshair codes from other players
Professional Valorant players and content creators often share their crosshair codes on social media, YouTube, and community Discord servers. The most common places to find them are Reddit communities like r/Valorant, YouTube videos from pro players, and Valorant-focused Discord servers. When you find a code you want to try, copy it exactly as written — do not add or remove any characters.
Some websites collect crosshair codes from popular players and organize them by role (Duelist, Controller, Sentinel, Initiator) or by player name. These sites make it straightforward to browse and copy codes without hunting through videos or social media. The code itself is always the same format, regardless of where you find it.
You can also create your own crosshair from scratch in the Settings menu by adjusting the size, color, opacity, and other properties. Once you have a crosshair you like, copy the code and save it somewhere safe — a notes app, a Discord server, or a document — so you can paste it back if you ever reset your settings or switch accounts.
What happens when you paste a crosshair code
When you paste a crosshair code, Valorant reads every setting encoded in that string: the size of the center dot, the length of the lines extending outward, the color, the transparency, whether the lines appear when you move, and dozens of other small details. All of these settings explore at once. You cannot paste only part of a code — it is all or nothing.
The crosshair code does not change anything else in your account. Your sensitivity, your keybinds, your audio settings, and your game performance remain exactly the same. The code only affects how your crosshair looks on your screen.
If you paste a code and decide you do not like it, you can always paste a different code or go back to your old one if you saved it. You can also manually adjust any part of the crosshair after pasting — the code is just a starting point.
Crosshair codes work the same way across all game modes
Whether you play Unrated, Competitive, Deathmatch, or custom games, the same crosshair code applies everywhere. You do not need separate codes for different modes. Once you paste a code into your account, that crosshair appears in every game you play until you change it again.
The crosshair also stays the same across all maps and all agents. You cannot set up different crosshairs for different agents or different parts of the map — Valorant uses one crosshair for your entire account. If you want to switch crosshairs, you have to manually paste a new code.
Troubleshooting when a code will not paste
If you try to paste a crosshair code and nothing happens, the code may have been corrupted or altered when you copied it. Crosshair codes are sensitive — even a single missing character will prevent them from working. Copy the code again from the original source, making sure you capture the entire string from the first character to the last.
If you are copying from a website or a social media post, check that the code does not have extra spaces, line breaks, or formatting. Some websites add invisible characters that break the code. Try copying directly from the source instead of copying from a screenshot or a repost.
If the paste button does not appear or is grayed out, make sure you are in the Crosshair settings menu and not somewhere else in Settings. Close and reopen the Settings window if you are unsure. You should always see the copy and paste buttons at the bottom of the Crosshair panel.
Saving and backing up your favorite crosshair codes
If you have spent time customizing a crosshair and you want to keep it safe, copy the code and paste it into a notes app, a text file, or a private Discord channel. This way, if you accidentally paste over it or reset your settings, you can always find the code again and restore your crosshair.
Many players keep a list of crosshair codes they like, organized by name or by the agent they use it with. You might have one code for aim training in the practice range and a different one for competitive matches. Saving these codes means you can switch between them quickly without having to remember the settings or recreate them from scratch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a pro player's crosshair code?
Yes. Professional players share their crosshair codes publicly, and you can copy and paste them into your own account. The code works exactly the same way in your account as it does in theirs. Keep in mind that a pro player's crosshair is only one small part of their skill — your sensitivity, your practice, and your game sense matter much more.
Will copying a crosshair code change my sensitivity or my keybinds?
No. A crosshair code only changes how your crosshair looks. Your mouse sensitivity, your keybinds, your audio settings, and every other part of your account stays the same. You can safely paste any crosshair code without affecting your gameplay settings.
What if I paste a code and I do not like it?
Paste a different code, or manually adjust the crosshair settings in the Crosshair menu. You can change the size, color, opacity, and other properties one at a time. If you saved your old crosshair code, you can paste it back to restore your previous settings.
Do I need a different crosshair code for each agent?
No. Valorant uses one crosshair for your entire account, regardless of which agent you play. If you want to switch crosshairs, you have to manually paste a new code. You cannot set up different crosshairs for different agents or different situations.
Can I share my crosshair code with other players?
Yes. Your crosshair code is just a string of text with no personal information. You can share it on social media, in Discord, or anywhere else. Other players can copy it and paste it into their own accounts to use the exact same crosshair.
