VALORANT crosshair gap and offset settings
Set the inner-line offset high enough to see the target without making four separate lines feel disconnected.
Quick answer
Offset controls how far the lines sit from the center. Use a small gap for a compact reference, a wider gap to keep the head visible, and test changes together with line length.
Offset creates the center gap
A low offset pulls lines toward the middle; a higher value opens the center. The same offset can feel different when line thickness changes.
Match gap to line length
Short lines usually need a modest gap to remain recognizable. Long lines with a wide gap can feel scattered and slow to read.
Use the target as the test
Place the crosshair over a distant head-sized reference. If the center is hidden, open the gap; if the lines no longer point clearly to the middle, close it slightly.
Common questions
Is offset the same as crosshair gap?
In practical use, inner-line offset is the setting that opens or closes the visible center gap.
What gap is best for headshots?
Use the smallest gap that keeps the target visible and still makes the center obvious to you.
