How to get the "X marks the spot" crosshair in Valorant

Valorant has emerged as one of the biggest FPS games, taking over a lot of other popular titles. Many streamers and professional players migrated to Valorant after its release and some even chose to play it professionally.

Some live and breathe the game, discovering new bizarre crosshair and their settings. However, changing the standard reticle design is not for the faint-hearted as they can be so distracting that players will miss enemies walking up to them.

Players in Valorant can now copy the crosshair profile of a teammate whom they spectate in a match. If they see "X marks the spot" crosshair in-game, they should use the in-text command "/cc" to copy their reticle profile while spectating them. It is a true quality-of-life change that has removed the hassle of changing settings in-game.

It should always be remembered that these crosshair profiles do not improve the players` performance in any way nor do they affect their mechanical ability. Gamers who play to ascend to higher ranks should opt for small and least distracting crosshair designs, which should stay distinct at all times.

Valorant has several types of players; they can be broadly divided into two distinct categories.

One contains the players who have a thirst for attaining higher ranks and are always trying to improve. The second category contains those who love playing the game. Be it with their friends or going solo, they play Valorant and treat it as a recreational excercise.
