But don't worry\u2014our tips will help you get better at your favorite tac shooter.\u00a0 Millions of players strive to improve and reach a new VALORANT peak every day, but only a small percentage of them make it to the top two ranks\u2014Radiant and Immortal\u2014in a season. According to Tracker Network, only 0.032 percent of the North American servers are Radiant in Episode Nine, Act Three at the time of writing. All three tiers in Immortal house less than one percent of the player base. This alone indicates how difficult the competition is, especially in an Elo greater than Diamond. Getting stuck in an Elo hell can be frustrating, but beating yourself up about it won\u2019t help. Improving your mechanics and game sense will. If you\u2019re ready to buckle up and conquer the quirks of VALORANT, we\u2019ve compiled a list of apt \u201cget better\u201d tips, both basic and advanced, just for you. 11 tips to get better at VALORANT in 2024 Improve your movement tech We tend to focus most of our energy on improving our aim but often forget how crucial good movement is to win fights in VALORANT. For starters, make sure you master the \u201cstrafe, stop, and shoot\u201d mechanic as it\u2019s the most basic but essential maneuver in the game. Practicing and master peeking is a great way to gather intel, bait your enemies, and even secure a kill or two. Make sure you know how to jump and jiggle peek for information and swing against an enemy to throw their aim off. In case you\u2019re wondering, counter strafing may be a popular mechanic in other tactical shooters, but it doesn\u2019t offer a significant benefit in VALORANT. While strafing, just let go of the A or D key to stop your movement completely and then shoot. If you\u2019re already used to counter strafing from a different game, however, you can continue practicing it. Nothing\u2019s more important than crosshair placement As every esports pro or ranked demon would tell you, your crosshair placement skills are critical when it comes to VALORANT or any gunplay-focused tactical shooter. Your chances of winning a gunfight against an enemy depend on your mechanical aim and your game sense and map knowledge. Aim for headshots at all times, but also keep these in mind: VALORANT maps have varying features with changing elevation, so you\u2019d have to be wary of where your crosshair should be as you move around. Predict how your enemy will peek\u2014wide or close\u2014against a cover and place your crosshair accordingly. While most of your aim game is determined by how well you control your mouse, try using your keyboard\u2019s A and D keys to make the necessary micro-adjustments for more accuracy.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Focus on precision more than speed. While hitting outlandish shots with flicks may feel satisfying, there\u2019s very little guarantee that you\u2019ll secure kills like that every time. Accuracy, on the other hand, ensures higher consistency. Take your time to aim and make sure you shoot when still. Flick when necessary, but choose the latter if there\u2019s an opportunity to be slow and precise. Don't shy away from mastering controversial styles Embracing mechanics like running and gunning, crouch strafe spraying, and jump firing may trigger your enemies and invite some unpleasant language, but who cares? If you know what you're doing, don't be afraid to use the game's quirks to your advantage. At the same time, keep in mind that moving and shooting reduces accuracy, so don't overdo it. This also applies to using controversial weapons types like shotguns and machine guns. Don't let your enemies (or teammates) demotivate you from unleashing your wrath as the Judge or Odin god. Read your enemies Don't just focus on what you have. Look at what the enemies are capable of and try to anticipate their moves. For example, if the enemy team has a Killjoy or Cypher, they'll likely have them anchor one site and focus on the other. In this case, you can either choose to commit to the site with lesser reinforcements or bait your enemies into thinking that but end up in the other site. Similarly, keep track of the enemy team's ultimates as they'll likely plan accordingly. For example, if an attacking Killjoy has her Lockdown on the Ascent map, you can expect her team to hit the B Site as it's perfect for the ultimate's range. Pick the right aim routine for you Whether you\u2019re Bronze or Ascendant, practicing an aim routine before starting your day\u2019s ranked grind is absolutely non-negotiable if you want to be more than just a casual player. That said, it\u2019s also important to choose the right aim routine for you. The aim routine you practice every day needs to focus on your weaknesses while improving your strength. Practicing any random routine won\u2019t help your cause. While playing ranked games, identify your limitations. You may notice things like:\u00a0 Slow reaction time Issues with crosshair placement while strafing and changing elevation in the world Less accuracy for distant targets Issues with recoil control And many more\u2026 Once you know what you need to improve, try focusing on those in the Practice Range or using an aim training tool like Aim Labs.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to build a routine of your own. Follow your favorite pros\u2019 by all means. But identify whether it\u2019s actually targeting your weaknesses. For example, a lot of players jump into the Practice Range, start mowing down bots as fast as they can to get a perfect score, and call that their \u201caim routine.\u201d That\u2019s only going to warm up your reaction time, not your crosshair placement. For example, if you want to improve consistency, you should do this: Instead of trying to flick kill those bots, go slow and make sure you hit every shot on the head. Slowly increase the pace. If you miss shots, slow down again. Note where their heads are and train your aim to keep at that level at all times. Shoot only two or three bullets at a time to ensure potent bursts instead of spraying a number of bullets and losing control on the recoil. To train headshots at an elevation, you can stand on the ledge of the Practice Range screen in front of the spawn area and try to hit headshots on the bots. Here's my favorite aim routine for your reference. Learn at least one agent of every class It\u2019s never a good idea to pick an agent you aren\u2019t sure about in your ranked VALORANT games. But not having the advantage of an essential role like initiator or controller definitely reduces your win chances. To tackle this dilemma, I recommend mastering at least one agent from each class. So, if need be, you can fill for your team without affecting your gameplay. You can\u2019t stop the instalockers, but you can play the role your team needs you to and try your best to win a match. Master agent-specific mechanics A VALORANT agent can do a lot more than what their abilities say they can. For example, Neon can run around and slide into an enemy\u2019s face, but she can also bunny hop like no other agent and perform back slides. Raze\u2019s satchels allow her to blast into sites, while Jett\u2019s dash lets her escape and dodge bullets.\u00a0Controller agents can throw one-way smokes, while sentinels can lock down sites with nearly undetectable setups. If you want to get better at the game, make sure you know all the quirks of your main agents and master them well. This will definitely give you a significant edge over your enemies, letting you win more games. Communication is key If you don\u2019t have a working microphone, get one. VALORANT is a team game and requires a lot of coordination, so speaking up is really crucial. You may win a few games without comms, leading you to believe that you don\u2019t need to talk to win\u2014but that\u2019s where many players in low Elo go wrong. VALORANT matches get more and more complicated as you rank up, with players starting to rely more on game sense than mechanics. To tackle your enemies, you need to start playing with the team. Start from the Agent Select screen: Discuss what your team composition should be based on the map. Once you\u2019re in the match, start sharing any ideas you have in mind. If you may need a teammate to use a support ability for your plan to succeed, don\u2019t hesitate to tell them. Also, I can\u2019t stress enough: If you\u2019re in a party of two or three, make sure you include the remaining teammates in your plans. Sure, you may win a couple of rounds by communicating with just the people in your party, but you still need to play as a team of five\u2014or you\u2019ll just be outnumbered. If your party has thought of a way to tackle the enemies, make sure the rest of the team is aware. They can help support your plan further, establish control over the rest of the map, or have a backup plan if yours doesn\u2019t work out. This is how you maintain a high win rate. Don\u2019t solo queue While most of the VALORANT player base queue solo, it isn\u2019t the best choice for those who want to rank up fast. As mentioned earlier, communication plays a key role in the game and playing in a stack makes it much easier.\u00a0 As a party of two, three, or five, you can execute strong plans and counter enemy strategies together. If you\u2019re solo, however, you not only need to use a push-to-talk team mic to explain your ideas but there\u2019s also no guarantee that your teammates will cooperate. Stacking also reduces the chances of getting a thrower or casual-minded player on your team, so you can focus on winning.\u00a0 Follow the meta Keep track of the prevailing meta in VALORANT. Try to switch between agents based on the trends. For example, if you\u2019ve always been a Viper main, try mastering Omen for a change. Considering the current map rotation, he\u2019s much better as a solo controller and offers a range of abilities that suit the team\u2019s needs. The more flexible you are with agent picks, the better. At the same time, it\u2019s also important to choose agents based on the map and have a suitable team composition. For example, on the Pearl map, one should ideally go for Astra\u2019s global control or a double controller setup featuring Viper and Harbor\u2014instead of Omen or Brimstone.\u00a0\u00a0 If you\u2019re not sure what to pick or master at the moment, don\u2019t worry\u2014our VALORANT agent tier list explains the meta in detail and is exactly what you need right now. Maintain harmony and a good mentality It\u2019s important to remember that VALORANT is a video game. You can\u2019t win every match you step foot in, so let those losses be a source of learning instead of demotivation and toxicity.\u00a0 Being an online multiplayer experience, you can\u2019t control who you get matched with, especially if you queue solo. Be as polite and patient with your teammates as you can. Don\u2019t engage in aggressive and toxic behavior: It\u2019ll only destroy your team\u2019s morale and lessen your chances of winning the match. Some of your teammates may not be as good or follow an approach you don\u2019t believe in\u2014and all that may not work in your favor. In that case, you\u2019ve to learn to let it go and try focusing on your individual performance. Despite a loss, you may lose less RR if you perform better than your MMR by securing more kills and scoring a high ACS. Lastly and most importantly, don\u2019t let a few bad matches demoralize you.
