1. Get a standard crosshair 2. Try out the average pro sense of .35 at 800dpi and play around in the range of 50-200% of that sense 3. play dm to learn crosshair placement 4. practice standing still when shooting, move with a and d - use the "practice" mode in the range to learn strafing accuracy - go back and forth and try to hit heads right when youre switching directions 5. deny the enemy information with shift-walking 6. learn about when to buy, when to eco, when to bonus and when to force (but more importantly, if youre lazy, just buy in sync with the majority of your team) 7. learn how to use the voicechats - learn common callouts on the maps - typical callout for enemy position: "[name] [location], hit [damage]" eg. "cypher u-hall, hit 40" (keeps it short and unobtrusive) - communicate macro strategies in the 30 secs before round - communicate/coordinate utility to setup micro strats (eg. "raze, i will flash out and you can satchel site" as skye or kay/o) - keep team morale up, have some common decency when talking to mates, they are human beings too - bonus tip: don't copy the habit of complaining about teammates from the pros you watch. you likely dont know what youre talking about if youre below immortal! 8. stick to one or two agents in the beginning - google "[agent name] tech" to find some common ways to use their util - dont try to "master" an agent too early, but also dont switch agents every week - focus on really dialing in the above steps, just pick an agent, learn the basics and forget about it until you feel like you have nothing else to improve When you made it till here (and that is when you implemented every step that came before) you can start improving the details (you should be platinum if youve mastered all the above) 9. learn an agent you like (or a role) in-depth by watching VODs and tutorials on it - take notes of how pros play this agent and compare it to your own games - learn tech like line-ups and utility order 10. improve your overall decisionmaking by limit testing - limit testing is basically like interval nesting in maths - start from one extreme (like always pushing as hard as you can when playing duelist) and take note of the situations in which it works and in which not - oversteer to the other extreme and take note of what you can and cant do again - find a golden middle over time 11. VOD review your own games, take notes, compare them to pro VODS, take notes on the differences and focus on detailed points in every game 12. congrats, youre radiant
@@Goner_Requiem yeah, its slow sense, but i compiled the first 100 entries on prosettings, and looked at the range of the data, so should be realistic. You may need a full size mousepad though, buying one of those you also put under the keyboard has skyrocketed my aim tbh
Want to say thanks for your videos I’ve watched maybe 4 hours of your content and watched some pro players playing and put your words to there actions and I’m new to pc after being a console player for 12 years got my pc 2 months ago this is my first pc shooter, after two weeks of your videos I’ve taken myself from averaging under 10 kills to averaging 20 and got my first ace today and 30 kill game thanks for your vids man
@@chandlerbroc honedtly brother this gameplay and vids are so wise about positioning etc has brought me from a iron 2 to silver 3 in 2 months I feel game sense is what I need to practice more now
warm up: at range shoot bots then set them to strafe and shoot death match bursting then strafing sensitivity 0.35 dpi 800 keep head level short range spray, mid range burst, long range tap jiggle and jump peaking at walls first round just classic pistol and light shield, if poor get shorty, if rich, get vandal, buy together as a team
As a beginner, thank you for this guide. I could finally open up Valorant a month ago since I got a better PC (my account has existed since the twitch drops for the beta) and now I'm learning it. It's been a blast. Something that has worked for me, and I think will work for others: before learning about the nuances of the game, like economy, lineups, strategies, learn how to kill people first. Learning how to gunfight alone will improve your chances at winning in the lower ranks, or normals. After that you can refine your gameplay with the rest of the concepts laid out in this video.
i haven’t played valorant yet (i really want to) but im scared because i have anxiety, thus i feel like the players are going to talk bad about me. It’s even worse if there’s friendly fire. Already happened in one of my Rainbow 6 gameplays. I’ve even gotten voted out just for being a beginner and i wasn’t even disturbing our team at all, i was doing more decent than anything.
Friendly fire doesn't exist in Valorant, luckily. Play with someone the first couple of games and then get into swiftplay. Great way to get started. Just got started playing last month and doing that worked for me.
I’m also new to valorant, lucky for me tho I am use to playing a variety of shooting games but valorant is very different than most games. People will talk just ignore them and have fun. Best way to improve
I was about to try it as well and as an introvert that was quite scary😢 my hand would start shaking especially when mess up..i would feel really bad for my teammates 😭
I come from fps games where LMGs are king and you can just brute force shut enemies down. but here even a single headshot from Assault rifles can kill even at full shields. that at first was very new for me but since past week when I started I adopted to just wait and let the enemy make the first move that definitely helped me a lot. I started synergizing with my team more and it helped a ton
For a fresh player like me, this video tutorial is way too informative! Appreciate you for taking your time in laying out almost all of the basics in this game! Will definitely try those tips you've shared! Keep on doing what you're doing as it helps! 😊
Thanks for making this video!!! I really want to start streaming valorant on youtube or twitch but I'm really bad at the game and this video has really helped me. Thanks for all the time and effort your placed into this video. 10/10 Lots of thorough explanation and even good tips for improvement.
Same here. But you can make it a funny montage if you're having a bad game. Not every day is a good game in valorant. Sometimes, you get good teammates, and sometimes not really.
My friend got me to try valorant today and on my second game i had a 1v4 clutch and some guy asked "what's sova's sense bro?" "It's insane"😭. I hope i can get good at the game cuz it seems fun asf. And this video seems really useful so thank you
Wow time travel agent here - I haven't played any shooter in ages. I'm 37, back in my days it was CS and UT. This reminds me a lot of the first one. But a good deal more complicated through the different characters. Looks exciting. Maybe I'll watch some pros now.
I just started off playing deathmatch after i was dropping 30-40 kills i moved to unrated. Takes time to learn the map, character skills, knowing where to have your crosshair. Ect.. Thats the fun part for me
I’m so new to fps, and I’ve been really wanting to get into Valorant after my ex introduced me to it a while back. I went from strictly playing Minecraft and The Sims to RPGs lately, I’m scared to get into fps because of the toxicity so I’m stalling getting into an actual match 💀 Watching vids like this helps a lot, not only with knowledge but also confidence so thank you for that !!
Youve got this! The community can actually be really nice at times too, its not all bad!! Try some swiftplays first, there are so many great people in swift play that you can meet and theyll help you out :)
I'm glad I checked this video out before installing. Made the decision the game wasn't for me pretty quickly. Thanks for the tips you laid out, seems like a very useful video. But after reading some of the comments about new peoples experiences with toxicity, I'll look for something else to play.
I haven't played valorant yet but i went through the practice session and it seems fun..i hope i get better at this game..and this video was really useful..thank you so much😅
So to get better, you study, revise your games, and watch pro games... Thats basically like getting better at chess. Seriously though, this helps a lot for a noob like myself, so thanks.
are you not suppose to be able to do a 180º turn with the selected mouse sens? that sens looks way too low, It seems everybody plays using the whole dinner table as a mouse pad or there is something I am missing... Can any body clarify pls?
My sensitivity is lower than the mentioned eDpi and i can do a full 180. I use a normal Large size mousepad (gsr se rouge) The pros can also obviously do 180s as well as is evident from their gameplay and they also just use normal large sized mousepads in tournaments
so you say .35 in game sense, but there’s other sensitivity options. so i’m confused what all of them should be at?? there’s like 3 or 4 different sense controls
Been pretty lucky getting a team right away. My first three matches I played solo I was able to friend a couple good players. Think I had two people total tell me I’m bad and I only been playing for a couple days.
For myself: 6:51 Pistol round: Keep classic + light shield or buy frenzy or ghost if you want to be precise. If you don't have much money: Shorty, Sherrif (Pistol); Stinger (SMG), Marshal (Sniper) If you have money: Phantom (Rifle), Vandal (Rifle)
My first game in valorant I chatted to my team that I'm new then someone said me too then he voice chat and said hi mate how u doing? That time I didn't know how to voice chat so I just jump and crouch😅
Well shit. Having finally quit WoW after nearly 20yrs I decided to pick up a non-Blizz game - Valorant. Come to YT to find a quick beginner guide, click the first video I see.... Hmmm, I know that voice veRY WELL OH GOD DAMN IT. Everything reminds me of her" lmao
tbf noone calls "spawn". its always "ct" and if they come from the attacker spawn its in 99% sitiuations "main" very really will you have to call for someone in attacker spawn.

dont listen to such people
My teammates in my first game said i is was absolute trash. (btw i won mvp)
Bro these teammates are so rude just mute chat bro
I was very lucky I had someone who decided to help me and gave me tips and straight away added me and invited me to a party
First time playing my teammate yelled at me because I was still learning phoenix
My first game of valorant my teammate told me to quit😂
dont, its obv hard to deal with douchebags when ur first beginning but youre only learning
@@77dexx I’m not. I’m an overwatch player so I’m used to the toxicity and I’ve been looking for a better game and valorant has been pretty fun so far

- bonus tip: don't copy the habit of complaining about teammates from the pros you watch. you likely dont know what youre talking about if youre below immortal!
8. stick to one or two agents in the beginning
- google "[agent name] tech" to find some common ways to use their util
- dont try to "master" an agent too early, but also dont switch agents every week
- focus on really dialing in the above steps, just pick an agent, learn the basics and forget about it until you feel like you have nothing else to improve
When you made it till here (and that is when you implemented every step that came before) you can start improving the details (you should be platinum if youve mastered all the above)
9. learn an agent you like (or a role) in-depth by watching VODs and tutorials on it
- take notes of how pros play this agent and compare it to your own games
- learn tech like line-ups and utility order
10. improve your overall decisionmaking by limit testing
- limit testing is basically like interval nesting in maths
- start from one extreme (like always pushing as hard as you can when playing duelist) and take note of the situations in which it works and in which not
- oversteer to the other extreme and take note of what you can and cant do again
- find a golden middle over time
11. VOD review your own games, take notes, compare them to pro VODS, take notes on the differences and focus on detailed points in every game

New to Valorant because of the Console Beta and this has helped me so much already.
My first game, I didn’t know how to drop things. My teammate asked me to drop the spike. I didn’t know how.
When I first started playing I was maining SOVA and got called out for being an ow player EVERY MATCH. This game is genuinely so unique
I started out maiming so a too (still main cus I’m still new😭) I’m also an ow player
Unique lmaoo , this game is a cheap ass copy of cs lmao

My 1st time they where really nice and I love the community
Ur luckyyy
I got back in the game after 2 years. Seems so new again
Thanks for the guides Ezreal !
I've been seeing a lot of frenzies in pros pistol round I think it's the meta in shorter range map since Icebox and Breeze are out of the map rotation
I saw somewhere that:
- Frenzy and Shorty are great for short range
- Sheriff is awesome for long range
- Ghost is a good general option
I'm new and I've been default walking instead of running and playing on high sense without knowing it lol
These guides has always helped me. Hats off to you guys for your hard work
I do come from apex and i was really good, the movement seems so easy
This is a actually a first steps guide to ANY fps game,I couldn't find anything here that can help me to switch from cs ...
In my first game my teammates told me to do f4+alt and delete the game
6:44 Great video. I believed you missed the shotguns.
So to get better, you study, revise your games, and watch pro games... Thats basically like getting better at chess. Seriously though, this helps a lot for a noob like myself, so thanks.
As a seige player is the spike like the diffuser
My first game of valorant. The waiting time was soo long. I thought my game is stuck and I quit the game🤣
my first game of val i asked when it was gonna end
man im struggling '
im used to fps games but in val when you move you will become blind and shoot everywhere its very hard to get used to
Yes, this was a deliberate design decision to curb peeker's advantage, among other things. Your aim is penalized when moving.
are you not suppose to be able to do a 180º turn with the selected mouse sens? that sens looks way too low, It seems everybody plays using the whole dinner table as a mouse pad or there is something I am missing... Can any body clarify pls?
My sensitivity is lower than the mentioned eDpi and i can do a full 180. I use a normal Large size mousepad (gsr se rouge)
The pros can also obviously do 180s as well as is evident from their gameplay and they also just use normal large sized mousepads in tournaments
@@goochipoochie do you rest your hand and use only your wrist or do you move your whole arm?
They use their whole arm. It's preference, but low sens is typically more accurate
😭was thinking of trying this on ps5 for the first time but reading the comments got me rethinking my decision
As a person new to pc and valorant my teamates hate me and i dont blame them
same i feel so clunky on pc, so much going on compared to console lol.
Can you please put the crosshair code in comments?
so you say .35 in game sense, but there’s other sensitivity options. so i’m confused what all of them should be at?? there’s like 3 or 4 different sense controls
Its fun to watch these type of videos cuz my level is above 400😅
for some reason the crosshair won't work for me. i want to try it but the code wont work
Been pretty lucky getting a team right away. My first three matches I played solo I was able to friend a couple good players. Think I had two people total tell me I’m bad and I only been playing for a couple days.
Thats what i needed
you sound like chris from total drama island
I got 3/22/5 my first game 😎
I'll try to improve myself. its kinda shit getting trash talk when you're still new.. im trying my best...
I’m on ps5 and a nice monitor. Liking the game a lot
For myself: 6:51
Pistol round: Keep classic + light shield or buy frenzy or ghost if you want to be precise.
If you don't have much money: Shorty, Sherrif (Pistol); Stinger (SMG), Marshal (Sniper)
If you have money: Phantom (Rifle), Vandal (Rifle)
Depends on tye round won or loss, u dont need to force buy every round even if u have like 2.3k credits
The crazy thing is both ur team mates (whether they're ur friends or randoms) and the opponents look down on you lmao
Wheres the link for crosshair
How do you get that cross hair you referenced?
Thanks man.
Very nice and complete guide thank you!
I lost my gaming skills on pc now ill bring it back
My first game in valorant I chatted to my team that I'm new then someone said me too then he voice chat and said hi mate how u doing? That time I didn't know how to voice chat so I just jump and crouch😅
thank you bro for this video
omg your tutorial is amazing !!
Another callout i use is CT as in the defender spawn
Thanks bro
I’m level. 50 and only now know about the sound circle
Yet here I am, I don't even know how to open a door
Thanks this really helped...
I feel like you missed talking about the only thing that actually confuses me about valorant (as a CS player): the abilities.
Thank you so much for this video ! It really is going to help me ! I really want to be able to help my teammates correctly haha
I'll be trying this game later
Immortal 3 here , just learn the basics , practice in aim labs and you’ll be goated.
Is it a toxic game
as someone who just downloaded valo this makes it even more confusing lmao
I cant even get aound the map. Always get lost 😅. This are way too advanced tips for me
At 13:13, how are you able to have multiple training dummies at the same time?
You have to shoot the practise button hope this helps
