Getting the perfect crosshair in VALORANT has always been a process for players. There are tons of settings that may be unfamiliar to newer or even experienced players, and if you saw a crosshair you liked from a pro or streamer, you’d have to find their settings and enter them manually.
But a new system for exporting and importing crosshair settings via auto-generated codes was introduced to the game as of Patch 4.05, which should expedite the process of sharing and borrowing crosshairs to and from other players. Codes take every aspect of a crosshair and compress it into an easily shareable code.
Looking to import someone else’s crosshair, or export your own to a friend? Here’s how.
How to import crosshair settings in VALORANT
Here are the steps for importing a crosshair code in VALORANT.
- Open VALORANT and go to Settings.
- Select the Crosshair tab on top of the Settings page.
- Select the Import button: the third button to the right of “Crosshair Profile” with an arrow-pointed-down arrow.
- Copy the crosshair code into the box and select Import.

You should see the crosshair change in the preview name. Make sure to name your new Crosshair Profile so it saves.
After importing the code and saving it, you can select the Primary tab to make any alterations you want.
