How to Import a Crosshair Code in Valorant

Import a crosshair profile on PC, keep your original settings, and copy a teammate's crosshair while spectating.

On PC, open Settings, find Crosshair Profile, and select the import control beside it. Paste the entire crosshair code and confirm. Valorant saves the imported setup as a profile, so you can test it and switch back to your original without rebuilding each setting.

1. Back up the crosshair you already use

Open the Crosshair section in Settings and check which profile is selected. If you have several profiles with similar names, select the one you actually play with and rename it to something easy to recognize, such as Main Rifle. A clear name helps when you switch back in a hurry between rounds.

Use the export control beside Crosshair Profile. The upward arrow copies the selected profile code to your clipboard. Paste it into a plain text note and label it with the profile name. This gives you a way to recreate the setup even if you delete the profile later. Check that you saved the whole line before copying a different player's code, since the new copy replaces what was in your clipboard.

2. Import the new profile

  1. Copy the full crosshair code from the person or page sharing it. Include every section and separator.
  2. In Valorant, open Settings and go to Crosshair.
  3. Find Crosshair Profile and select the import control beside it. Look for the downward arrow or the import tooltip.
  4. Paste the code into the field and confirm with Import.
  5. Check the profile selector and preview. Select your new profile if another one is still active, then give it a recognizable name.

The preview shows the imported design before you return to play. If a page lists multiple codes, copy them individually and label each profile as you go. For example, you can keep a friend's dot and a second player's four-line crosshair separately, then compare both against your original setup.

3. Copy a teammate's crosshair while spectating

If you're eliminated and watching a teammate whose crosshair you want, open chat while spectating that player and type the command below. Riot also supports the full command, /crosshair copy.

/cc

This saves a profile based on the player you are watching. Check your Crosshair Profile list afterward and rename the copy so you can find it later. If you switch spectator targets before sending the command, you may copy a different teammate's setup. This method works from the spectator view during the match, so use the menu import when you already have a code or are browsing presets outside a game.

4. Test the profile in the Range

Equip a weapon you regularly use and point it at both light and dark surfaces. Check whether the center stays easy to see over the background and whether the lines cover too much of a distant target. Try taking a few single shots, then fire while moving to see whether the crosshair expands. Some profiles use movement or firing error to show when weapon accuracy changes.

Test aimed-down-sights and scoped views if you use them. Those views can behave differently from the primary crosshair. A crosshair that looks right with a rifle at hip fire may be hard to see through a scope. Switch between profiles from the same position with the same weapon if you want a fair comparison. If you edit the imported setup, export it again when you finish so your backup contains those changes.

5. Fix a failed import or a profile that looks wrong

If Valorant rejects the code, copy it again from its original source. A missing section, stray space, or punctuation picked up from a post can cause a paste to fail. If you got the code from a screenshot, ask for the raw text so you can copy every character. Make sure you are pasting into the import field beside Crosshair Profile.

If you have filled your profile slots, export a profile you no longer use before deleting it to make room. Keep the backup in a text note so you can restore it through the import menu later. If the import succeeds but your old crosshair still appears, check which profile is active and whether you're comparing the primary view with the same weapon and zoom state. Those two checks can save you from importing the same code twice.
