How to Use Your Valorant or CS2 Crosshair in Any Game

2 min read

You spent hours dialling in a crosshair in Valorant or CS2, then open another game and it's back to a default reticle, or none at all. Both games let you export your crosshair as a short code, and a crosshair overlay can draw that same crosshair on top of any game.

Get your Valorant crosshair code

  1. In Valorant, open Settings → Crosshair.
  2. Select your crosshair profile.
  3. Use the export button next to the profile to copy its code to your clipboard.

Pro players' codes are widely shared too, if you want to try someone else's.

Get your CS2 crosshair share code

In CS2, open Settings → Game → Crosshair and use Share or Import to copy your crosshair's share code. It starts with CSGO- followed by groups of characters.

Use the code in any game

Krypt Crosshair is a free crosshair overlay for Windows and macOS that imports both formats:

  1. Install Krypt Crosshair and open it.
  2. Paste your Valorant profile code or CS2 share code into the import field.
  3. Save it as a preset.
  4. Run your game in borderless windowed mode so the overlay can draw over it.
  5. Optional: map the game's .exe to the preset in per-game profiles, so it switches automatically.

It's a transparent window drawn on top of the screen: no injection into the game, no memory reads and no driver.

Tips for a crosshair that works everywhere

  • Add an outline so the crosshair stays visible on bright and dark backgrounds alike.
  • Use hide on ADS in games where you aim down sights, so it doesn't sit on top of your scope.
  • Try the colourblind-safe or high-contrast presets if a colour disappears in a game's palette.
  • Share your setup by copying the preset string. Anyone with Krypt Crosshair can import it.

FAQ

Can I use my Valorant crosshair in other games?

Yes. Export your Valorant profile code and import it into a crosshair overlay such as Krypt Crosshair, which draws it on top of any game.

Where do I find my CS2 crosshair code?

Settings → Game → Crosshair → Share or Import. The code starts with "CSGO-".

Why can't I see the overlay in game?

Most overlays can't draw over exclusive fullscreen. Switch the game to borderless windowed.

Are crosshair overlays bannable?

An overlay that only draws on screen doesn't touch the game, but whether it's allowed is up to each game and tournament. Check their rules first.
