Playing Valorant as a beginner can be intimidating and frustrating. Aiming, the most crucial skill in the game, is difficult for newcomers, especially for those unfamiliar with first-person shooters. Assuring that you have an excellent crosshair is the foundation for improvement that every beginner needs. Remember: A bigger crosshair doesn’t mean bigger bullets.
