Red Bull Campus Clutch Qualifier #3
April 24, 2021
Canada
Valorant’s cast of heroes have a slew of powers to one up the enemy, but, at the end of the day, it’s your aim and game sense that will get you through most situations in Riot Games’ team-based, tactical shooter. While hero abilities are a core part of the game, you’ll notice that Valorant has more in common with CS:GO (Counterstrike: Global Offensive) than it does with other hero-based shooters like Overwatch.
So, if you’ve been struggling to get through the narrow chokes on Bind or a late round C long push on Haven, this guide will help you be the one sending opponents to spectate.

1. STACKING THE ODDS: CROSSHAIR PLACEMENT
To see this content you need to update your cookie settings.
Crosshair placement is, without a doubt, the most important aspect of aiming to improve your k/d in Valorant. It means keeping your aim centered on screen, setting your crosshair at perfect head height, as you push or peel over the course of the round. The idea is to minimize the amount of correction you will have to make when you see a player. If your crosshair is at head height, then you only have to cover a (relatively small) horizontal distance. This will take time, and the dedication to break a few bad habits. This goes out to any of you aiming at the floor and those of you with their crosshairs in the clouds: Make the effort to change toward this playstyle and you will see your game improve with discipline. Be warned, there has to be a conscious effort to change your playstyle, but it will help you make a huge leap forward in Valorant.
2. PRACTICE
As the old adage goes: to be an expert in something, you must first put in ten thousand hours of practice. While ten thousand might be a tad… Excessive? You should be dropping into the range before you queue up, practicing your “flick” aiming and tracking, or getting a feel for Valorant’s arsenal of weapons.

Want to pick the Operator? Go ahead, it’s OP, but get used to it. Getting a handle on the ranges, spreads, and strengths of each weapon while figuring out what you're comfortable with will help you as your econ shrivels up and your options start to run out. Be careful not to spend too long in the range and burn yourself out, though. You can start slow, but thirty minute sessions with consistency will show results.
3. SIT STILL

Call of duty and Battlefield have taught us a lot of skills that won’t really be helpful in this game. Sprinting across the map, hip firing a submachine gun is nothing more than a fantasy when you drop into a game of Valorant. Your shots will be noticeably wild and inaccurate while shooting on the go, even if you aim down sight. Take your time with those corners and plant your feet. A vandal can one shot someone with a heavy shield, but only if you click on their head. The steadier hand in Valorant comes out on top just as often as the quickest hand.

4. YOUR CROSSHAIR AND YOU; WHAT YOU’RE DOING WRONG
Some may think this isn’t a big deal, but finding a crosshair that's right for you and your style of play is important. Reducing the spread indicator and picking a colour to stand out against the drab backdrop of Bind will help a lot. It can also give you a more accurate reference to land that flick headshot with increased consistency. It’s all about what's best for you. Once you adjust your crosshair, you’ll be shocked at the improvement. In the simplest terms: your crosshair should be simple, small, non-distracting and consistent. Always choose a static crosshair over a dynamic one that adapts when you fire or move. If your crosshair can’t be consistent, neither will you.
