Aim Training Guide

Fundamentals of Aiming

Aiming is the core skill in any FPS game. This comprehensive guide will help you develop precision, speed, and consistency in your aim through targeted practice and proper technique.

Crosshair Placement

The foundation of good aim is proper crosshair placement. Always keep your crosshair at head level and pre-aim common angles where enemies might appear. This reduces the distance you need to move your mouse and improves reaction time.

Recommended Practice Routine

  • Warm-up (10 minutes): Basic tracking and flicking exercises
  • Precision training (15 minutes): Static targets with focus on accuracy
  • Flick shots (15 minutes): Practice quick target acquisition
  • Tracking (15 minutes): Follow moving targets smoothly
  • Application (15 minutes): Practice against bots or in deathmatch servers

Finding Your Sensitivity

Your mouse sensitivity is personal preference, but there are guidelines to find an optimal range. Most professional players use a relatively low sensitivity, allowing for more precise control. We recommend starting with an eDPI (effective DPI) between 800-1200 and adjusting based on comfort.

Pro Tip

Consistency is key. It's better to practice for 20 minutes every day than 2 hours once a week. Create a sustainable routine that you can stick to.

Advanced Movement Mechanics

Movement Mechanics Guide

Beyond WASD

Effective movement in FPS games is much more than basic directional control. Mastering advanced movement techniques gives you a significant advantage in combat situations by making you harder to hit while maintaining accuracy.

Key Movement Techniques

  • Counter-strafing: Quickly stopping momentum by tapping the opposite direction key
  • Shoulder peeking: Briefly exposing yourself to bait shots or gather information
  • Jiggle peeking: Rapidly moving in and out of cover to spot enemies
  • Crouch peeking: Combining crouch with peek movements to throw off enemy aim

Movement and Accuracy

Understanding the relationship between movement and accuracy is crucial. Different weapons have different movement inaccuracy values. Practice shooting between movement steps to maximize both mobility and precision.

Pro Tip

Use dynamic movement in firefights rather than standing still. A moving target is much harder to hit, especially at longer distances.

Map Knowledge Guide

The Importance of Map Knowledge

Map knowledge is one of the most underrated skills in FPS games. Understanding map layouts, callouts, timings, and common positions gives you a significant strategic advantage over players who lack this knowledge.

Learning Map Callouts

Communication is vital in team-based FPS games. Learn the standard callouts for each map to effectively communicate enemy positions to your teammates. We recommend learning 2-3 maps thoroughly before expanding your map pool.

Understanding Map Control

Map control refers to the areas your team has influence over. Controlling key areas of the map provides information about enemy movements and limits their options. Learn which areas are most important to control on each map.

Utility Usage

Each map has specific spots where utility (grenades, flashes, smokes) can be most effective. Learn basic utility lineups to take control of important areas or execute onto bombsites.

Pro Tip

Study professional matches to learn advanced positions and strategies for each map. Pay attention to how pros utilize different areas of the map and try to incorporate these ideas into your gameplay.
