Accuracy in Valorant determines whether you win or lose. You can know the maps perfectly, master the agents’ abilities, but if your shots go wide—your chances of getting top frags are practically zero. Let’s figure out how to improve your shooting accuracy and which crosshair settings will help you rival the skill of professional players.
The foundation of accurate shooting
Stop, don’t run!

Unlike other shooters, accuracy in Valorant drops dramatically if you shoot while moving. If you want precise hits, stop before you fire. The best technique is "strafe-shooting": take a step to the side, come to a complete stop, and then shoot.
Control the recoil

Every weapon in the game has its own recoil pattern, but there’s a general rule: the first 2–3 bullets go exactly where you aim, then the barrel starts to move up and to the sides. To compensate for this, pull your mouse down and in the opposite direction of the spread.
Aim for the head

Most weapons in Valorant can kill with a single headshot. Train your “headshot mindset” by keeping your crosshair at the enemy’s head level instead of shooting at the legs or chest.
Play with low sensitivity
The lower your mouse sensitivity, the easier it is to make precise movements. Top players use a DPI around 400–800 and an in-game sensitivity from 0.2 to 0.5. Experiment to find your perfect balance.
