Riot’s tactical FPS is showing no signs of slowing down, with VALORANT going from strength to strength with each new Chapter. 

Whether you’re a newcomer or a veteran player, there’s plenty to get your head around in this quick-reaction time shooter. GGRecon’s collection of guides will help you understand how the play the game a little better, and give you all the resources you need to improve your skills at the game.

Agent Guides

The Agents of VALORANT all possess completely different abilities, and you’ll need to understand their basics if you want to play well as them - or even against them.

We’ve broken down all the Agents that are currently available in the game, providing explainers of their abilities and some tips on how to best utilise them.

Once you’ve got the Agent basics down, you’ll need to spend some time getting to grips with both the weapons and the maps. Shooting skills and map knowledge go hand in hand when playing this shooter, and you’ll need to master both to secure regular wins.

In these guides, we’ve broken down what you need to know about each map, plus which weapons are the most ideal for you to use.

Best Settings

Getting your settings dialled in is always important in a shooter, and VALORANT is no different. These guides go through some of what we think the best graphics and resolution settings are.

Much like VALORANT’s main competitor, Counter-Strike 2, weapon skins are an incredibly important aspect of the game for many. You can easily spend hundreds of dollars collecting them all, so it’s useful to know which ones are available - and when you can pick up a bargain.

Crosshairs

You’ll spend most of your game time looking at your crosshair in-game, so it’s vital you have it dialled in exactly how you like it. We’ve got plenty of words to help you find the right crosshair for you, with step-by-step instructions on how to customise it yourself.
