Valorant’s crosshair editor has always been a playground for creativity. Beyond the standard dots and lines used by pros, players have discovered ways to turn their reticle into fun shapes — including the ever-popular heart crosshair.
While it’s more of a novelty than a competitive advantage, setting one up is quick, easy, and perfect for showing a little flair (or love) on the battlefield.
Two Easy Methods
There are two main ways to create a heart-shaped crosshair: importing a code or manually customizing the settings.
1. Import a Code
The fastest method is simply copying a premade string of settings.
- Open Settings → Crosshair → General subsection
- Click Import Crosshair
- Paste one of the codes below and confirm
Popular Heart Crosshair Codes (Examples):
- Pink Heart0;P;c;7;o;0.1;d;1;z;1;a;0;m;1;0t;10;0l;5;0a;1;0f;0;1t;4;1l;10;1o;1;1a;1;1m;0;1f;0
- Red Heart0;P;c;7;u;F97AC0FF;o;0.1;m;1;0t;5;0l;3;0o;1;0a;0.7;0f;0;1t;1;1l;5;1o;0;1a;0.7;1m;0;1f;0
Paste, apply, and you’ll instantly see your new heart-shaped crosshair.
2. Manual Setup
If you’d rather build it yourself, you can fine-tune the crosshair editor:
- Color: Pink or Red
- Outlines: On (Opacity 0.1, Thickness 1)
- Center Dot: Optional (personal preference)
- Inner Lines: Length 5–10, Thickness 5–10, Offset 3, Opacity 1
- Outer Lines: Length 5–10, Thickness 1–4, Offset 1, Opacity 1
- Movement/Firing Error: Off
- Override Firing Error Offset: On
These adjustments combine to form the curved “heart” shape that fans use in-game.
Tips and Cautions
- Purely Decorative: The heart design looks fun but isn’t optimized for accuracy. Many players enjoy it in casual or custom lobbies, but it can feel distracting in competitive play.
- Code Variations: Some versions of the heart crosshair only appear after pistol sprays because of movement/firing error settings. If yours looks off, try toggling those settings.
- Experiment Freely: With Valorant’s code-sharing feature, it’s easy to swap between serious competitive crosshairs and fun ones like the heart or even flower patterns.
Step-By-Step Summary
- Launch Valorant and open Settings → Crosshair
- Either:
- Click Import Crosshair and paste a code, or
- Manually adjust settings as outlined above
- Save your changes and jump into a match to try out your new heart reticle
Love in the Crosshairs
The heart crosshair may not give you the sharpest aim, but it embodies what makes Valorant’s customization system special: the ability to mix personality with performance. Whether you’re flexing it in unrated matches, showing it off to friends, or streaming with a unique overlay, the heart design is a lighthearted way to bring romance to a tactical shooter.
In the end, it’s proof that Valorant isn’t just about precision — it’s about expression, too.
