Your teammate just landed three headshots in a row. You glance at their crosshair. It looks clean. It looks fast. You want it right now.
Good news. Valorant lets you copy any crosshair in seconds. No screenshots. No guesswork. No typing out dozens of settings by hand.
This guide shows you exactly how to copy a crosshair in Valorant, whether you are spectating a teammate mid-match or grabbing a crosshair code from your favorite pro player. Every step below uses simple, 5th-grade-level language, so you can follow along even if this is your first time changing a setting in the game.
What Is a Valorant Crosshair Code?
A Valorant crosshair code is a short string of letters and numbers. It looks confusing at first, but it is really just a save file for one crosshair.
Every detail lives inside that code. Color. Size. Outline. Center dot. Even the tiny gap between the lines. When you copy a Valorant-style crosshair, you are really just copying this one code and dropping it into your own settings.
This is why crosshair copy-paste works so well. You never have to rebuild a setup piece by piece. You just paste the whole code, and Valorant does the rest.
Why Copy a Pro Player's Crosshair?
-
Pro players test dozens of setups before picking one, so their crosshair is already proven.
-
A clean crosshair can be easier to see on busy maps like Bind or Lotus.
-
Matching a pro's setup can help you learn faster, since you see the game the way they do.
-
It saves time. You skip weeks of trial and error.
How to Copy Crosshair in Valorant While Spectating
This method works when you are watching a teammate play, either after you die or during a replay.
Follow these steps:
-
Start spectating the teammate whose crosshair you like. It must be a living teammate, not an enemy.
-
Press Enter to open the in-game chat box.
-
Type /crosshair copy, or use the short version, /cc.
-
Press Enter again to send the command.
-
Valorant automatically saves the crosshair to the next available profile slot.
There is one key restriction. You can only copy a crosshair in Valorant from someone you are actively spectating, and only teammates appear in your spectate list. You can never grab an enemy's crosshair this way.
How to Import Crosshair from a Share Code (Valorant Copy-Paste)
This method works anytime, even outside of a match. It is the best way to import a crosshair from a share code when a pro player or streamer posts theirs online.
Follow these steps:
-
Find the crosshair code you want. Pros and streamers often post these on social media or in video descriptions.
-
Open Valorant and go to Settings.
-
Click the Crosshair tab.
-
Find the Import button, usually shown as a downward arrow icon.
-
Paste the full code into the text box.
-
Click Import again to confirm.
Your new crosshair now sits in your profile list. You can rename it, tweak the color, or switch back to an old one at any time.
How to Export and Share Your Own Crosshair
Sharing works the same way, just in reverse. Open Crosshair Settings, then the Crosshair tab. Pick the profile you want to share. Click Export, shown as an upward arrow icon. Valorant generates a code. Copy that code and send it to a friend so they can paste it using the import steps above.
Crosshair Profile Slots: What You Need to Know
Valorant only gives you 15 crosshair profile slots. Once they fill up, you need to delete an old one before you can copy or import a new crosshair.
To free up space, open the Crosshair tab, find the profile you no longer use, and click the trash can icon next to it. This takes only a few seconds and keeps your list organized.

Common Mistakes When You Copy Crosshair Valorant
-
Trying to spectate an enemy. This never works, since enemies are hidden from your spectator camera.
-
Pasting an incomplete code. Missing even one character can break the import.
-
Forgetting to click Import a second time after pasting the code.
-
Running out of profile slots and not realizing why a new crosshair will not save.
-
Mixing up the Export and Import icons, since both use simple arrow symbols.

Final Thoughts
Copying a crosshair in Valorant takes less than a minute once you know the steps. Spectate a teammate and type /cc for a quick in-match grab, or import a full crosshair code to use a pro player's exact setup. Either way, you get a proven, ready-made crosshair without any manual guesswork. Try it in your next match, and see how a new crosshair changes the way you aim.
