How to Change What Side Your Gun is On in Valorant?
If you’re a Valorant player, you may have noticed that your gun is often aligned to the right side of your screen. While this default configuration may work for some, it can be a hindrance for others, especially those who are left-handed or prefer a different layout. Fortunately, Riot Games has provided an option to customize the gun placement to your liking.
Changing the Gun Side in Valorant
To change the side your gun is on in Valorant, you’ll need to access the game’s settings. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:
- Launch Valorant and log in to your account.
- Press the Escape key to open the game’s settings menu.
- Select the "Video Settings" option from the menu.
- Scroll down to the "Graphics" section.
- Look for the "Gun offset" option and click on it.
Gun Offset Options
Once you’re in the Gun Offset menu, you’ll see a series of options to adjust the placement of your gun. Here’s a brief rundown of what each option does:
• Left-handed: This option aligns your gun to the left side of the screen, which is ideal for left-handed players.
• Right-handed: This option is the default setting and aligns your gun to the right side of the screen.
• Custom: This option allows you to fine-tune the placement of your gun using the sliders.
Using the Custom Option
If you want to customize the gun placement to your liking, click on the Custom option. You’ll see two sliders: one for the x-axis and one for the y-axis. You can adjust these sliders to move your gun to the desired position.
Here are some tips to keep in mind when using the custom option:
- Start with small adjustments: Don’t make drastic changes to the sliders. Start with small adjustments and gradually move your gun to the desired position.
- Use the mouse to move your gun: As you adjust the sliders, use your mouse to fine-tune the position of your gun.
Tips and Tricks
Here are some additional tips and tricks to help you master the art of gun placement:
• Practice makes perfect: It may take some time to get used to your new gun placement. Practice your aim and movements to get a feel for where your gun is positioned.
• Consider your playstyle: If you’re an aggressive player who likes to play close-range, you may want to consider placing your gun closer to the center of the screen.
