Riot Games’ flagship first-person shooter Valorant is an extremely competitive title that requires players to have precise aim and hit consistent flicks to be able to reach the top levels of the game. However, most players are prone to errors in their vertical aiming when trying to hit flicks in Valorant. This is where ‘Angle Snapping’ comes into play.

What is Angle Snapping in Valorant?

For the uninitiated, Angle Snapping is an aiming mechanic in Valorant (and other FPS games) that has been a hot topic within the gaming community recently. It is a feature that’s available in certain mouse programs that utilize predictive algorithms to eliminate small, incidental movements in vertical directions, resulting in a smoother and more precise horizontal mouse movement.

This can often make flicks much easier to hit since your crosshair is much more likely to be already on the enemy’s head if you’re flicking across the screen on the same horizontal level. However, is this setting bannable in Valorant?

Valorant: Is Angle Snapping Bannable?

While Angle Snapping can certainly be used to gain an unfair advantage over your opponents, it can’t get you banned from Valorant. It isn’t regarded as an aim assist by Vanguard, which is why it doesn’t get detected as a cheat.

Also, it goes without saying that Angle Snapping alone can’t make you a better Valorant player. You still need to practice regularly if you want to be able to hit consistent flicks in the game. However, it can help you if you’re struggling with keeping your mouse movements horizontal and maintaining your crosshair at head level.

That’s everything you need to know about Angle Snapping and Valorant and whether or not it can get you banned. If you want to learn more about Angle Snapping and how to enable it, check out our guide here.

It’s common practice for players of competitive multiplayer games like Valorant, a first-person shooter, to experiment with a wide variety of options in order to find the optimal balance between fun and challenge.

Using Angle Snapping while moving the cursor around can help players maintain their crosshair levels. Some versions of gaming mice include it, and you can enable Angle Snapping from the embedded software itself.

Valorant offers a plethora of options for optimal gameplay. Believe it or not, some software choices from industry-standard mice can help players hit their headshots faster and better. This all can be achieved by downloading the software from your brand’s official website which is quite user-friendly and easy to adjust. 

Angle Snapping is a gaming mouse feature that improves enemy snapping. This feature lets players move their mouse laterally. This feature stabilizes the crosshair for headshots during small jerks.

Your mouse’s angle-snapping function is an external add-on. It’s an efficient aid for keeping your aim steady as you switch targets with a wrist twist. 

There is no angle-snapping option in VALORANT’s menus; you’ll need to break into the bundled software with your gaming mouse. It won’t take you long to locate the angle-snapping option in your mouse’s preferences. 

Soon after, VALORANT will have the ability to use angle snapping, and you won’t be permanently barred from doing so.

Most high-end gaming mice, and typically those of S-tier leaders of the industry, have the unique feature of “Angle Snapping,” which helps stabilize movement and keeps the cursor moving in a straight line even if the user moves their arm slightly.

By disregarding erratic hand movements, it is able to accurately anticipate where the mouse will go next. In-game accuracy can be improved by activating this function, and it’s also helpful for players of all skill levels.

While Angle Snapping is not a configurable option in Valorant, it can be activated via the mouse’s manufacturer’s bundled software. Players may find that the option is grayed out or completely missing from the software, indicating that it is incompatible with the mouse.

Angel Snapping can currently be accessed if you have  purchased your gaming mouse from the brands listed below: 

• Republic of Gamers
• Lioncast
• Corsair

Angel Snapping exclusively requires using bundled software as mentioned above and is not a part of Valorant’s available features. We highly recommend players to install the bundled softwares and not other third-party ones as they might conflict with the game’s anti-cheat resulting in a permanent ban.

We at TalkEsport are not responsible if you stumble across any mishap if ever a third-party software is used to enable Angel Snapping.
