What settings do Valorant pros use?

One of the biggest things that separates Valorant pros from your average gamer is their unbelievable gunskill. Simply put, they don’t miss. Of course, raw natural talent and countless hours of practice are the key factors behind this ability, but it is still interesting to see what settings they prefer.

As we look at the different set-ups of four top Valorant stars, remember that sensitivity especially is a personal preference. Copying someone’s sens won’t make you shoot like them, but at the same time, if you are struggling with your accuracy then there’s no harm experimenting.

All sensitivity data is recently updated and taken from fortsettings.com

First up is one of the most successful players so far, TSM’s Matthew “Wardell” Yu.

As we go further through the list, you will notice that Wardell’s settings are pretty standard. When comparing sensitivities between players, the key stat to pay attention to is their eDPI. You can calculate your eDPI by multiplying your in-game sensitivity by your DPI.

Sentinels slayer Hunter “SicK” Mims is the lowest sens player of the four. Like Wardell, SicK came to Valorant from CS:GO and probably chose settings that felt similar and comfortable.

A quick note on crosshair colours: Of the pros we looked at, Wardell is the only one who opts for a white crosshair. The others all use something a bit bolder like green or yellow.

Victor “food” Wong was the first person to reach Radiant rank in Valorant. He has been one of T1’s most valuable assets in the Ignition Series and plays on a fairly average eDPI.

Interestingly, food is also the only one of the four who doesn’t use the Logitech Pro Wireless mouse. Instead, he clicks heads with the cheaper G703 model, which to be fair, isn’t a whole lot different.

Finally, here’s someone who isn’t a CS:GO vet. Fans questioned whether Overwatch legend Jay “Sinatraa” Won would be able to hack it in Valorant. Well, Sentinels had faith in 20-year old and he is already proving his worth.

Whilst Sinatraa does have the highest sens on this list, it’s nothing crazy. There are plenty of pros who like something a little higher, Hiko for example uses an eDPI of 576.

When it comes to sensitivity, the most important thing is being comfortable. There’s no point making huge changes and messing your aim up, try smaller adjustments to gradually find the settings that suit you.
