How to Improve Sheriff Accuracy in VALORANT

In VALORANT the Sheriff is the only pistol capable of one-shotting a fully armored target, making it a very powerful weapon in the right hands. The caveat is that while the Sheriff boasts one of the highest damage values in the game, it also suffers from being one of the toughest weapons to handle in the game, kicking like a mule after each shot.

Furthermore, the Sheriff is the most expensive handgun you can purchase in VALORANT, coming in at a hefty 800 credits, making it a high-risk, high-reward weapon in pistol rounds or force buys. If you can manage to put the Sheriff to good use while your team is playing at a weapon disadvantage, it can pivot the outcome of a round. Conversely, spending your credits on a Sheriff only to get dropped before landing a single shot can significantly set back your team’s economy. This is why it’s crucial to train your first shot accuracy and make every shot count.

Training your precise flicking mechanics on smaller targets will allow you to transfer those skills over to in-game scenarios where you’ve got your hands on a Sheriff and pull off those clean taps that you see your favorite pro land as you watch in disbelief. Sometimes it may seem like these levels of flicking aim are unattainable to the average player, however, everything you see is a culmination of consistent practice, so lock in and focus on our provided task.

This featured task will put you in a situation where you must focus your aim and land shots on relatively small, dynamic targets. This will prepare you for the aforementioned gunslinging action that will turn the tables on your opponents in those important pistol and force-buy rounds.

The task features a number of pill shaped targets that strafe similar to an opponent in VALORANT. The bots do have headshot hitboxes, so prioritize those headshots to maximize your damage and your score. Speed up over time by chaining together consecutive shots before moving on to the next target with a fast flick!
