Stewie2k’s settings, keybinds, and crosshair for VALORANT

Stewie2k is best known for playing professional Counter-Strike, but that hasn’t stopped him from dominating in VALORANT. Although he’s not the biggest fan of the Riot’s tactical shooter, his skill and knowledge from playing Counter-Strike all these years has rubbed off on him. His pinpoint accuracy and his aggressive playstyle have easily translated to success in VALORANT. He barely misses a shot. Here’s Stewie2k’s VALORANT settings.

Mouse settings

DPI	400	In-game Sensitivity	0.64
eDPI	256	Scoped Sensitivity	1
Polling Rate	1000	Windows Sensitivity	6

Stewie2k has reasonably low sensitivity, similar to his settings in Counter-Strike.

Crosshair settings

Color	White	Inner Lines	1 / 5 / 4 / 4
Outlines	On / 1 / 1	Outer Lines	0 / 0 / 0 / 0
Center Dot	Off	Fade / Movement / Firing Error	Off

Key bindings

Crouch	Left Ctrl
Walk	Left Shift
Jump	Space Bar / Mouse Wheel Down
Ability 1	C
Ability 2	Q
Ability 3	E
Utlimate Ability	X

Stewie2k has chosen to stick with the default settings for most of his keybinds. For jump, though, he uses Mouse Wheel Down. This allows him to easily chain bunny hops, and move swiftly around the map.

Video settings

Material Quality	High	Anti-Aliasing	MSAA 4x
Detail Quality	High	Anisotropic Filtering	8x
Texture Quality	High	Improve Clarity	Off
UI Quality	Low	Bloom	Off
Vignette	On	Distortion	On
Vsync	Off	First Person Shadows	On

Stewie2k has surprisingly opted for high video settings. Most players with a background in Counter-Strike lean towards the low end to increase visual clarity. But because the devs designed VALORANT to run on almost any computer, high settings don’t make too big a difference.
