What this metric means
Headshot percentage is the share of your kills that were headshots. It reflects crosshair placement and first-bullet accuracy more than spray control.

If you are below the median for your rank, drill pre-aim at common angles and review two deaths per game where you aimed at body first.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average headshot percentage in Valorant? +
There is no single global average — it rises with rank. Use the tier table above; most climbing players target the median for their current rank, not Radiant numbers.
What headshot % is good for Diamond? +
Check the Diamond row in the table (or the Diamond tier page). Landing near the median is solid; consistently above the 75th percentile usually means aim is not your bottleneck.
How is this data calculated? +
We aggregate the latest competitive snapshot per UpForge user with a linked Riot account. Values are medians unless noted otherwise.
