Valorant Aim Trainer

How the trainer plays like Valorant

In Valorant most fights are decided by the first bullet. You hold an angle with your crosshair at head height, stop moving, and click once. Aim training for Valorant should practise exactly that, not endless tracking.

Aim Trainer copies Valorant's rules. Moving while you shoot throws your bullets off, so you learn to stop first. The rifle's first shot is accurate, the spray climbs and then sways, and a headshot kills in one bullet.

• Sensitivity

  Type in your Valorant sensitivity and the trainer turns exactly as far as Valorant for the same mouse movement. A 360° check confirms it.

• Rifle: VX-9 Tactical

  Tap-fire rifle: tight first shot, climbs then sways randomly. Heavy run-and-gun penalty; fires 10% slower aimed in. 1-tap headshot.

• Enemies

  Enemies have 100 health plus 50 armour, show a red outline like Valorant's enemy highlight, and give no damage numbers.

• Map

  The Auto map setting picks Sunset Bazaar for Valorant. Cover blocks your shots, and bots shoot back from Tier III.

Best aim drills for Valorant

Crosshair placement, counter-strafing and quick, small flicks onto heads matter far more in Valorant than long tracking. Spray control matters for the first five to ten bullets, not a full magazine.

• Corner Peek

  Enemies swing out from cover. Keep your crosshair where the head will appear and you barely need to flick.

• Counter-Strafe

  Move with A and D, tap the opposite key to stop, then shoot. Shots taken while moving spread out, just like in Valorant.

• Headshot DM

  Only headshots count. Builds the habit of aiming at head height instead of the chest.

• Microflick

  Small, fast corrections onto close targets: the flick you use after a slightly-off pre-aim.

• Spray Control

  Learn the first ten bullets of the rifle's spray and when to stop and reset.

• Duel Angles

  Clear a doorway, box, stairs and corner one angle at a time while moving with WASD.

Do this before you queue. Play each drill at the tier where you hit most of your shots, and move up a tier when you reach Gold.

How to improve your aim in Valorant

• Keep your crosshair at head height

  Walk around maps with your crosshair where an enemy's head would appear: at door edges, box corners and the top of stairs. If it's already there, you only need a tiny correction.

• Stop before you shoot

  Valorant's moving inaccuracy is brutal. Tap the opposite strafe key, then shoot. Counter-Strafe drills train the timing until it's automatic.

• Tap and burst at range

  The first bullets are the accurate ones. At range, tap or burst two or three shots, then let the recoil reset.

• Warm up before ranked

  Ten minutes in an aim trainer, then a deathmatch, is a common pro routine. It wakes up your flicks without tiring your arm.

Valorant sensitivity in cm/360

cm/360 is how far you move your mouse to turn a full circle. It is the one number that means the same thing in every game. A common Valorant range is an eDPI (sensitivity × DPI) of 200 to 400, which is 0.25 to 0.5 at 800 DPI.
