Valorant already has a very lively competitive scene with events happening all around the globe. Pro players tend to have specific settings or do they? Let's find out in our Valorant pros settings list.

So you’ve been playing Valorant for a while now and you want to improve. Why not check out what the pros use and see if that helps? Valorant pro players are a rather new breed since the tactical shooter came only over a month ago. Despite that, some players have a preference in their settings and that might be giving them an edge over their opponents. Or not.

Today we’ll be taking a look at some of the most successful Valorant players so far. Note that many of them will be coming from CS:GO where using lower mouse sensitivity is a mantra. This might not work for everyone, but in most cases, it should increase your overall accuracy.

While the mouse brands and sensitivities may vary, some other things definitely do not. Of all the pro players we have listed here there’s only one with a 144 Hz monitor, while everyone else is using a 240 Hz. The same goes for the resolution, everyone is using 1080, unlike in CS:GO where a lot of old-school players claim that a stretched resolution makes it easier to aim.The natural question after all of this is, what should you focus on? Getting a better mouse, getting used to lower sensitivity or simply getting a higher refresh rate monitor? There’s a rather long video that goes into detail about how much impact FPS has on your aim.

We recommend you check it out and see the difference for yourself. Note that once you switch to a higher refresh rate monitor, going back to 60 Hz will feel weird.
