Complete guide to improving aim in VALORANT covering sensitivity, crosshair placement, shooting techniques, and daily practice routines
Master your aim in VALORANT with this comprehensive guide covering sensitivity setup, crosshair placement, shooting techniques (tapping, bursting, spraying), strafing, peak techniques, and a daily aim routine for consistent improvement.
Go to the practice range. Pro players typically use 0.35 in-game sensitivity at 800 DPI, 0.175 at 1600 DPI, or 0.7 at 400 DPI. Test different settings and aim for one that lets you use arm movement rather than just wrist movement.
0Try to do a 180-degree turn with a full mouse swipe. Then track bot heads while holding A or D - if you can keep up decently, your sensitivity is good.
Keep your crosshair at head level at all times. Aim slightly under the tops of boxes around maps (like on Haven) to find head level. Good placement means enemies walk into your crosshair.
Predict where enemies will be before peaking corners. Go into custom lobbies and practice pre-aiming common angles on all maps.
Shoot one bullet at a time paired with strafing between shots. Best for long-range engagements.
Shoot 2-3 bullets then reset with a strafe. Best for medium-range combat.
Move with A/D then press opposite key. There's a small window where your gun is fully accurate while moving. Practice tap and burst strafing in the range.
Wide swing (go wide pre-aiming common spots), jiggle peak (peek minimally for info), and jump peak (jump and strafe back for free info).
Practice micro flicks on elevated boxes (5 min), kill bots while gliding with Jett's ultimate (5 min), rampage standing bots flicking 360 degrees (5 min normal, 5 min strafing), then use ISO to flick between orbs.
Play at least 3 DMs daily. First two with Vandals practicing range techniques. Third DM sheriff-only to train headshots and stop spraying.
Watch replay footage of your deaths and kills. Identify mistakes like crouch-spraying at long range or flick accuracy issues to constantly improve.
