One of the most unique crosshairs in Valorant happens to be the smiley face, guaranteed to spread happiness. Although not a perfect rendition, this style promotes good vibes and will definitely bring a smile to the spectator's face. That said, it isn't the best design for accuracy and quick placements.

Valorant's flexible system lets players unleash their creative ideas into making the most fun-looking crosshair styles. While most unique patterns aren't efficient in competitive play, one can certainly master them well enough to pick important frags.

One can simply copy a smiley face crosshair profile using an in-text command if they come across a teammate using it. Alternatively, one can manually tweak their settings or import the profile through a code.

This article will shed light on the settings that players can use to create a smiley face design manually and add some customizations. One can also use the import code, mentioned right after the settings section, for a direct way.

While the smiley face structure will help spread smiles in one's Valorant matches, it will not let the user aim as efficiently as a concise crosshair style. It is larger than the ideal design and may act as a distraction. Hence, the smiley face isn't recommended for use during placement games.

Valorant's newest crosshair system allows players to customize their profiles even more than before. One can now tweak the vertical and horizontal lines of the reticle separately and save up to 15 custom profiles.

These new features have given rise to several unique crosshair styles in the past couple of weeks. That said, the smiley face is an old favorite and will remain close to many players' hearts.
