DerrekOW Valorant Crosshair Settings

Like many Valorant YouTubers transitioning from Overwatch, Derrek opts for a crosshair that emphasizes outlines and eliminates movement or firing error indicators. The preference for a stable, consistent, and visible crosshair stems from his experience in the fast-paced environment of Overwatch.

He chooses to disable outer lines and center dot, focusing instead on his inner lines with specific values: 1-2-1-3. This configuration indicates an inner line opacity of 1, inner line length of 2, inner line thickness of 1, and an inner lines offset of 3.

This expertise is closely linked to their choice of keybinds. Below, we see that Derrek's keybinds align closely with those of other Valorant pros, with a few distinctions in ability usage.

  • Use/Equip Ability 1: C Key
  • Use/Equip Ability 2: Q Key
  • Use/Equip Ability 3: E Key
  • Use/Equip Ultimate Ability: Mouse Button 4

What sets Derrek apart from many other professional players in Valorant is his use of mouse buttonsfor casting abilities, particularly his ultimate. He has Mouse Button 4 bound for casting his ultimate ability, integrating his OW experience into Valorant's gameplay mechanics. 

Are those the best keybinds in Valorant? Well, try them out, if you are transferring from OW, or playing mainly Controller Agents, then it could work. But well, you have to try it out first.

DerrekOW Valorant Map Settings

In examining Derrek's Valorant minimap settings, it's clear he prefers using a fixed map configuration. This setup means the map doesn't rotate, maintaining a consistent orientation based on his side, with the map centered around his character. 

Such a setting likely offers more consistency in navigation and spatial awareness, traits that are crucial for a former Overwatch pro adept at managing complex environments even when bombarded with utility.

For Valorant players who might find themselves disoriented by effects like Omen's Paranoia or being flashed amidst deploying smokes, adopting Derrek's fixed map setting could prove beneficial for maintaining a sense of direction during chaotic gameplay moments.
