There are plenty of benefits to using a dot crosshair in this game, which is why so many professional players tend to use them, like ScreaM. For starters, it's minimally invasive, unlike a typical 'plus' crosshair. This means you can line up your aim with an enemy's head without obscuring your view on either side of the player.
What's more, a dot crosshair just looks cleaner and sleek in VALORANT, so your frag clips will look even more professional when you share them online. Keep reading to learn just how you can obtain a dot crosshair for yourself in the game.
What are dot crosshairs?
There are two main ways to get custom crosshairs in VALORANT: You can use a crosshair code, which will let you use the crosshair of someone else, or you can customise the settings yourself to make a unique crosshair.
Additionally, you can also use a crosshair code as a base before further customising it from there. However, as you're here to learn how to get a dot crosshair in VALORANT - which is one of the most effective reticules for winning gunfights - there are two main types of dot crosshairs: a square dot, and a round dot.
Below, you'll find crosshair codes for each, along with the individual settings for making them.
How to make a dot crosshair
To make a dot crosshair in VALORANT, go to the settings menu and select 'Crosshair'.
- There, you'll find a button at the top of the window that says "Import Profile Code" when you hover over it. Clicking it will allow you to copy the code above into the text field that appears.
- Next, hit 'Import' and you will get the crosshair.

How to get the square dot crosshair
The code for a cyan square dot crosshair is: 0;P;c;5;o;1;d;1;z;4;0b;0;1b;0
If you'd prefer to get the dot crosshair manually, head to the Crosshair settings menu and reset your current one. Next, change the following settings:
- Outline - On
- Centre Dot - On
- Show Inner Lines - Off
- Show Outer Lines - Off
- Outline Opacity - 0.5
- Outline Thickness - 1
- Centre Dot Opacity - 1
- Centre Dot Thickness - 3
This will give you a standard dot crosshair with a slightly visible outline, but make sure to hop into practice to test it out and make any alterations you see fit.
How to get the round dot crosshair
To instead opt for a cyan, round dot crosshair, simply utilise the following code: 0;P;c;5;o;1;0t;3;0l;2;0o;0;0a;1;0f;0;1b;0
As with the square code, this can also be obtained manually with the settings shown below:
- Outline - On

- Show Inner Lines - On
- Show Outer Lines - Off
- Outline Opacity - 0.5
- Outline Thickness - 1
- Inner Line Opacity - 1

Why is the dot crosshair so popular?
The VALORANT dot crosshair is one of the more popular reticules in the game, with many pro players using them, causing players to copy their crosshair codes.
It's particularly useful because it's less invasive and offers less screen obstruction than many of the crosshair types. The dot crosshair also helps with precision because your first bullets will hit exactly where the crosshair is located on your screen - until you begin spraying.
