Valorant 5.04 patch notes

With update 5.04, players will get to spread their wings with the new crosshair customization that has come into play. From now on, you will be able to set a custom color for your crosshair and copy the crosshair of the player you’re spectating.

These crosshair changes will allow you to try different colors from the ones that are preset in the game already. The number of crosshair profiles has also increased, which means players will not have to swap their previous crosshairs for a new one.
