With the latest patch, one can now copy the crosshair profile of a teammate while in the game. If you witness someone using an Xbox to aim at enemies, simply use an in-text command "/cc" to copy their profile while spectating them.

Xbox is unique in terms of crosshair style and hence, isn't common in competitive Valorant. Moreover, it may be detrimental to a player's aiming practices due to its distracting size and color. Nevertheless, many casual gamers like to show off such quirky choices at times.

Alongside Xbox, there are several more unique styles that are available for players to use in Riot's popular shooter title. A crosshair design that has found massive recognition in recent days is the nerd spectacle, which can also be placed on a teammate's face to create a geeky look.

Then again, one must remember that these unique styles lend no weight to the ease of aiming at opponents in a competitive shooter. The ideal crosshair for accurate and quick placement is concise and as little distracting as possible.
