Rank Up

While Valorant is all about its gunplay and the skill players wield with their weapons, we all have to start somewhere.

If you're looking to pickup Valorant for the first time, or simply want to improve your rank a little bit, then you've come to the right place.

We're going to run over some basic tips and tricks for Valorant players in order to get better at the game!

Valorant Tips and Tricks For Beginners To Rank Up Fast

With Valorant being a tactical FPS, it falls within the same genre as CS:GO, and these are nortorious for being some of the hardest games to get into for the first time.

But, thankfully, there's a flurry of tips and tricks such as the ones we're going to provide down below that should hopefully get you into the right mindset to progres through the ranks.

Crosshair Placement

This is perhaps one of the biggest tips and tricks we can mention, as it's really the bulk of Valorant and why you may be losing your gunfights.

When going into a match, try and position your crosshair at head height at all times, even when turning corners and what not.

This will get you into the habit, and when enemies do appear when you least expect it, you'll be ready!

Agents

Valorant's biggest lure is the numerous agents within the game, and if you're just jumping into the game, or trying to rank up from the bottom, then picking a few main agents is going to be vital.

We recomend finding 2-4 agents that you feel suit your playstyle, and will help your team out during matches, and doing so make agent selection and gear placement not so much of a worry.

In-game Economy

Last but not least, the in-game economy that Valorant has is one of the most vital factors when trying to get better. Before each round, you and your team should discuss how much money you have right now, and Valorant even informs you how much you're going to have next round.

Making decisions into if you should full-buy or not, or simply save is going to be key. As it'll give you more chances to win gun fights, if you're evenly matched.
