How to peek in Valorant
Peeking is an art in Valorant. If you don’t know how to peek properly, you might not survive much and end up being frustrated and rage-quit the game. However, we are here to help you learn the basics and advanced techniques of peeking in Valorant. Let’s dive into the principles of how to peek in Valorant
Best Crosshair placement in Valorant
One of the biggest issues observed in low-level players is their crosshair placement in Valorant. Players tend to not keep their crosshairs in the accurate position when they peek which causes them to re-adjust their crosshairs to get a kill immediately after the peek which takes time, and that time is enough to get killed.
Your crosshair should always be pointing head level and during peek, it should be positioned such that it positions right over the enemy’s head, this required a lot of game sense and map knowledge as to where an enemy will be standing and peeking. When you will follow these instructions, even if the enemy is not in the default spot, it will take you minimum time to reposition your crosshair and get a kill.
Exposing yourself
Many of the players don’t know how to peek because when they do, they expose themselves to multiple angles at the same time. This makes you vulnerable to multiple spots, where you can only focus on one angle and get easily killed from the other angle.
To ensure this doesn’t happen, you need to learn the ability to use the nearest cover to your advantage. This is all about game sense, you have to peek making sure you can only be shot from the area you are looking at. This game sense will help you the most in clutch rounds where multiple enemies double peek or rush onto you.
How to Jiggle Peek in Valorant
This is the best form of peeking that you can try to get some information on enemies who are holding angles. It’s like a quick peek that can get you the position of enemies already peeking and then you can pre-fire on that spot using crosshair placement.
Jump Peek or Shoulder Peek in Valorant
This peek is used to bait out an operator holding an angle and waste their shot, which would otherwise have been a confirmed kill for the enemy. This way you can bait out an operator, and then reposition yourself or advance on him.
To peek in Valorant like a pro and get multiple kills and win rounds for your team, you need a mix of game sense, map knowledge, and mechanical reflexes. All you need is to learn how not to expose yourself too much, avoid wide peeking and maintain a good crosshair placement. Follow these rules and you will notice a big change in your gameplay, and hopefully jump some ranks quickly.
