Tip for anyone who's just now getting into FPS games. Stop staring at your damn crosshair. When you want to pick up a glass of water, you don't look at your arm and drag it while you reach the cup. Instead you focus on the cup and you bring your arm into your line of sight. The same thing is true for FPS`. Your eyes should be scanning multiple places, assuming you don't know the enemy's position. Once you see an enemy, your eyes should focus on his head(best case scenario) or at the very least on his torso, once that is done, you move your crosshair in that direction and stop moving it when it appears in the center of your line of sight, which is the head/torso of the enemy.
Just figured this out in the practice range yesterday. I was so much more accurate when I looked at where I wanted to shoot instead of looking at my crosshair.
He said in every gun fight, which mean when you and your enemies totally in the open and shooting each other. Not when you shooting and the enemy starting to react to your shots. That's different. Also, he said crouch as much, which mean you crouch and never let go the button. Just look at the clip 6:20. The enemy indeed lost but that's what he meant by try not crouching as much.
Anyone here knows how effective crouching really is? I used to play CSGO a lot before and I remember crouching being much more effective after the first few “accurate” shots so you should be using it in gunfights unless your enemy is a dumbass that aims on the body.
@@abcdefghi894 when i see people crouch i always get killed by them when i do not crouch i cant get a single kill and then when i crouched i still cant get a kill am i just that bad
I also really like the technique called "magnetic head", where you will get oneshot in the head every round, while the same enemy can't kill any of your teammates
This guide is awesome, also the comments are extremely helpful here, instead of the usual YT comments, very cool. One thing though: when the effective DPI is in question, one thing NOBODY ever talks about, is mouse space. Not everybody playing (especially with free games having relatively low requirements) on streamer setups, their mouse space might be limited. For a good 3 months now mine is too. I have a "normal size" mousepad, which is relatilvely small nowadays, and i had to rotate it 90° just to have it fit somewhere on my desk. So even though I want to use even lower sens settings than I do now, it's impossible (currently). I know, i should give myself more space, I just dont have anymore space left in my room or on my desk, and I know for a fact I am not alone here.
QOTD: I have the vandal skin and I don't think its distracting because when you have the skin for a little while you don't get distracted as you would if you don't have it and pick it up and be like wow that's a cool skin and you look at all the animations it's just my opinion I like it a lot
My fav gun is guardian. Its dirt Cheap to buy and you can get that gun + all abilities every round. I got my love for that SDM gun from Black Ops 4. almost any target will die from 2 body shots.
Love the elderflame set!! In a free game I'm happy to pay for cosmetics I'm loving for when I'm enjoying the game. This is a game I play every day and don't play many other games. So the money I save from not buying other games I'll happily put into supporting the game I'm playing to continue getting more content!
The dragon op has a clever strategy. If you master it, and lose it. You can be 100% sure the enemy will struggle using it against you. Plus its too enticing to not grab it. Best way to throw off the enemy team
QOTD: I like them, i prefer the second and third chroma because of the neat looking dots which variant 1 and 4 dont have. Compared to other games i like that every skin has its own character, and not a reused template. As example The dragon faces are all different.
Valkyrae had a pretty good point about the dragon skins cost. If it’s more expensive, less players have the skin - so the skin is more special to own. Since it’s not something that’s required to play the game, it’s okay to be expensive.
QOTD: The elder flame set is the 1st one I've really come across where I REALLY want an option to be able to turn off certain VFX's... I upgraded the Vandal one to get the last black and blue colour scheme, but I find the reload animations too distracting and wish I could turn it off. I don't even use the skin anymore because I find it covers so much of the screen and makes me glance at it every time it moves when reloading. I really hope Riot adds an option to turn off certain skin VFX's AND the option to disable enemy skins because I often pick up the elder flame set guns which as I said above, I don't like to use when it's upgraded
I panic a lot in this game LMAOO the anxiety fear and excitement get to me and i spray and pray even doe i practice tapping so much lol the jump scares of people coming out of smokes and peeking or rushing me gets me smh
I really liked the way you held the reaver and I was disappointed when it didn’t come back in the full release so when I saw you held elder flame melee the same way I knew I would need to get it (I did)
My EDPI is like 3k. And that was after I turned off hardware acceleration which really made my mouse feel slow after, lmao. And a point not mentioned, most pros have like half of their desk set up all for their mouse. As most people only have the standard small box mousepad pad setups. Like normal people.
Just go ADS with ares or odin and spray mid to long range easily, Ares and odin have the best recoil pattern when goin ads and u can just melt down everyone, Very high sensitivity players or those with not so perfect aim can use ares or odin on ads, note it, u must add otherwise they are so bad, If u have good aim, u will be better with vandal or guardian, If u r very skilled then marshal is the go to
Same, the elderskin guns are very distracting!! I picked one up during a sudden death match then I died while being distracted by the gun, i suddenly cant find the my crosshair/middle of the screen
QOTD: it looks sick but the animations are too distracting and sometimes confusing.. But still i look cool when my enemy drops the gun and i get to hold it!
So with spray transfer do you stop shooting momentarily between bad guys or do you just hold the trigger down and control the recoil (ie you lose some bullets between the targets)?
QOTD: I hate the entire set the only thing I like is the awp because the vandal is so weird and makes me play worse with it (looks like you’re holding a dragon) the awp is the only exception because when you use it you’re scoped in
i feel if this game had a recoil system like siege it will be more fun with a higher skill ceiling+ its super annoying when ur doing everything right in a burst/spray but the shoots go to the right at the last sec and the enemy who is in the air jumping get a random headshoot at u and if they need to buff/nerf a weapon but they dont want to change its DPS and TTK they can nerf/buff recoil i think this will make it easier to make new weapons maybe same dps and ttk like phantom but higher recoil and less price
Panicking and suddenly bursting and spraying indefinitely is the last thing I do in-game, that's one of the most reason that causes my deaths in a single match
Can y'all do something about the shotguns ? specially about the judge, it has a lot of not so obvious mechanics that i'm not too sure how to implement in my games as Jett
I think the Elderflame skins look SUUUPER cute. Whenever my duo partners pick an Elderflame Vandal up from a fallen enemy (we nicknamed him Drago) they pop off for the next couple of rounds.
I actually do a sort of burst on the sheriff where i shoot twice at one player and it 9/10 kills them (I'm new to the game so I can't headshot that good)
QOTD: Yes, they are extremely overpriced. Around $100 for the bundle is just insane.. It’s hard for League of Legends players to buy skins for guns that you won’t use/enjoy the skin for the entire match because on League, when you buy a champion skin, you will enjoy it for the entirety of the match. Does that make sense? I’m rlly tired while typing this lol
I got just the Operator, my fav is the blue and pink xD, the knife is sick but too expensive and the op i thought that is too big on the hand, i didnt like it kkk
QOTD: I didn't buy it cuz of the price but the design is so gorgeous especially on vandal. Also since i didn't buy i usually steal them or ask my mate for the elderflame skin by drop.
QOTD: Agree with what you said. They're way too expensive and over the top. The animations, finisher, etc. is just distracting and I think stuff like this has no place in a FPS focused on competitiveness. Also, I just wanna point out that there's a higher tier of skins than the Elderflame skin line that hasn't been revealed yet. I don't even wanna think about the pricing and the looks of those skins.
Everytime stray mentions how phantom is good at spraying choke points all I think about is the one time on Haven C they 5 man rushed C long and I sprayed them down for the match point and to point out it was also my highest kill game and also a 5 man ace
I think its important to note the reason that crouching after shooting every time is a terrible habit for lower elo. Practically no one in the lower divisions are always going to have their cross hair placement head height, most people in lower elos tend to aim body with every gun. Thus when you crouch fire in lower elo, you are probably just giving your opponent a head shot because I can almost guarantee they are not trying to fix their spray to your head, most people dont care enough to put the time into the game. Cant tell you how many times I caught a bullet with my forehead while grinding through gold by doing this. My forehead should be a wide receiver in the NFL at this point with how many head shots I have given people by crouching into their spray.
Tip for anyone who's just now getting into FPS games. Stop staring at your damn crosshair. When you want to pick up a glass of water, you don't look at your arm and drag it while you reach the cup. Instead you focus on the cup and you bring your arm into your line of sight. The same thing is true for FPS`.

This^^^ even on the range bots, this is the only way I can consistently hit 10+ on hard
Start making guides dude...youll shine
Just figured this out in the practice range yesterday. I was so much more accurate when I looked at where I wanted to shoot instead of looking at my crosshair.
Hey thanks a lot dude....I always look at my crosshair.ill start doing what u said.i think I get the concept now.thanks again
I’m a noob but isn’t that tactic valid for holding angles? You literally just wait for the enemy to fall into your crosshair and react accordingly
“Try not to crouch as much”
*Literally shows the player crouching while firing in every single clip*
He said in every gun fight, which mean when you and your enemies totally in the open and shooting each other. Not when you shooting and the enemy starting to react to your shots. That's different. Also, he said crouch as much, which mean you crouch and never let go the button. Just look at the clip 6:20. The enemy indeed lost but that's what he meant by try not crouching as much.
Was about to say ahaha
not literraly on every clip.. more often than not they are compensating for recoil rather than crouching.
Anyone here knows how effective crouching really is? I used to play CSGO a lot before and I remember crouching being much more effective after the first few “accurate” shots so you should be using it in gunfights unless your enemy is a dumbass that aims on the body.
In low elo, this is a nightmare
"Don't crouch so much"
Bold of you to assume I remember to crouch
no shit lol and when i do remember, i die everytime
Bold of you to assume I know how to crouch
@@abcdefghi894 when i see people crouch i always get killed by them
when i do not crouch i cant get a single kill
and then when i crouched i still cant get a kill
am i just that bad
@@karlganeer4900 same :')
I use the "shoot around " tactics. When i miss all my shot with 0,001 pixel.
Happened to me yesterday, its a perfect method 😞
I also really like the technique called "magnetic head", where you will get oneshot in the head every round, while the same enemy can't kill any of your teammates
@@helgenlane yeahp
Spamming stinger blooms shots everywhere but the person
I use the the die mechanic where I die on the spot. It helps a lot u should try.
That awkward moment when you and your enemy are spraying and missing all shots. The only thing that comes in the mind is "come onnnn a lil bit down"
"Dont crouch" - literally crouches in every single clip used
ya I was so distracted by how much he was crouching I couldn't pay attention to anything else
This guide is awesome, also the comments are extremely helpful here, instead of the usual YT comments, very cool.

4:25 - I didn't know I shouldnt be spraying with the marshall. Great Tip!
Yeah I think you should spray with the operator though
Dead Channel i like bursting with the knife
*Weapons for tapping :*
Classic , Ghost , Sheriff, Vandal , Guardian , Marschall
*Weapons for bursting :*
Frenzy , Stinger , Spectre ,
*Weapons for spraying :*
Spectre , Ares , Phantom , Odin
I use spraying like this
I aim for the chest then the recoil makes my bullets go up and headshot
yikes
fix that
first bullet on the head then bring ur crosshair down thats what i do lel
That won’t work in anything above iron 😪
Boom er
I feel like just saying “float like a butterfly sting like a bee” woulda been less cringe.
yeah what he said after was cringe af
@@phantonex8772 lol yeah very cringe
I think that quote is cringe also though
Its from netflix na 😂
@@gjenen4874 lol wtf no
i've been searching for this for days and now one has finally uploaded. thank you i needed this
Guns best for:
1)Tapping:- Classic, Sheriff, Ghost, Vandal, Guardian and Marstial
2)Bursting:- Frenzy, Stinger,Spectre, Vandal and Phantom
3)Spraying:- Spectre, Ares, Phantom and Odin
QOTD: even if I had the money, I wouldn't buy them, except for the knife, reason being that they're just too distracting and loud
loud? how
other players don’t hear you pulling out weapons
100%agree
Victor Ma yea but its so detailed which makes it a bit distracting when pulling it out
"But we're human, we make mistakes, and we're bad at Valorant."
wtf when that guy said that i came through ur comment. Exact timings lol....what a coincidence
@@m1cr0ji27 synchronicity
QOTD: I like that they're moving in that direction of fully animated weapons, but personally I find them too distracting.
Same there really good but I would focus more on the gun than the enemy
QOTD: They look nice, but they're extremely distracting sometimes.
what is qotd
@@RSINFINITY question of the day
I don’t think you they look so good just are distracting
8:38 50 bullet magazine?? It's actually 100
QOTD: I have the vandal skin and I don't think its distracting because when you have the skin for a little while you don't get distracted as you would if you don't have it and pick it up and be like wow that's a cool skin and you look at all the animations it's just my opinion I like it a lot
You need a praise cuz of you my aim got better a lot actually this with bursting and tapping helped a lot i see improvement
QOTD: when i see that gun i dont pick it up it distracts me instead of looking at my target
i look at my gun which is annoying
QOTD: too expensive and distracting.
Exactly
The game is free and ounce u have it u get used to it
My fav gun is guardian. Its dirt Cheap to buy and you can get that gun + all abilities every round.
I got my love for that SDM gun from Black Ops 4. almost any target will die from 2 body shots.

QOTD: Just bought the Vandal one. Not a great line up. But, still very good and interesting bundle 👌🏼
I bought the full bundle and I regret it it's distracting when I shoot. Wish trading would come out would gladly trade it for a another skin
@@abdiabdi7781 Dude why did you even
Another aiming technique: While spraying aim the cross hair at the chest as due to the recoil the bullets will go up. I hope it helps. :)
thanks for the guide, i normally play R6 which is very different on how to aim. This helps me thank uuu

Bro the video quality is just lit
@Stray stop targeting me so hard its only the intro sheesh 🤣🤣🤣 0:28
should I tap, or spray with the operator?

thanks for the vids bro `they really help
I also only use the dot as a crosshair since the outlines are in the way for me to accurately hit my mark.

I have a question: is crouching viable when shooting?
Yes because it can reduce recoil
Just for spraying. Not that much for the other techniques.
QOTD: The skin is more of a distraction for me and once when i picked it up mid round i paid a great fps loss!!!!!
Thanks I’m just getting onto the game (:
*They one's called me a mad man at spraying because i always hit the wall and not the enemy*
These tips really helped, now I didn’t realize I crouched so much lol
"dont crouch when shooting" crouches 90% of his shots lol

im good at all the aim training stuff. just the recoil messes me up sometimes
Valorant match making is sick almost join me with unranked and low tier
is bursting and spraying both holding left mouse button? or is bursting just spam clicking it?
QOTD: I like it for the knife only, and prefer the prime set for Vandal (my main). Too bad I can’t afford either.
Should we crouch while shooting?
What edpi you guys using ?
I use 1600 dpi and 0.36 in game
btw at 8:40 you said the odin has a 50 bullet mag, it actually has a 100 bullet mag
This whole channels video quality if the people who made the videos knew what they were talking about
What's the different between burst and tapping
What’s the science behind these running headshots lmaaao. I can’t ever escape them
I actually do a sort of burst on the sheriff where i shoot twice at one player and it 9/10 kills them (I'm new to the game so I can't headshot that good)
Qotd : distracting and sometimes make you thinking the reload is too long cause of the animation rather than the default skin animation

Spray and pray it’s my favorite 👍
@IbiPlays i have a problem with crouching alot
Am I the only one that noticed he said phandal instead of phantom at around 6:35 or when he was talking about what guns were good for bursting
Spray for the long ranges, Burst for the mid-long ranges and if you see an pro doing an spray long they are prolly bursting
guns that benefit from tapping:marshal
me:wow nice tip
I spray Classic, tap Spectre, and burst odin/ares.
QOTD: Agree with what you said. They're way too expensive and over the top. The animations, finisher, etc. is just distracting and I think stuff like this has no place in a FPS focused on competitiveness.
Also, I just wanna point out that there's a higher tier of skins than the Elderflame skin line that hasn't been revealed yet. I don't even wanna think about the pricing and the looks of those skins.
I love elderflame. I bought it the first day it came out.
Idk why valorant players are so confused with this simple mechanic. Close range - spray. Medium range - burst/tap. Long range - tap.
Riot created Valorant and use it to attract many non FPS players, so most of them have none knowledge about the game.
Everytime stray mentions how phantom is good at spraying choke points all I think about is the one time on Haven C they 5 man rushed C long and I sprayed them down for the match point and to point out it was also my highest kill game and also a 5 man ace
Tell this to my enemies who run and gun throwing off my aim and relying on luck to hit me in the body
The thing is that I always stand still when I shoot
Good thats what u should do
Soooo everyone?
Wat
NoobMaster1278 thats what youre supposed to do
My worst habit is strafing while shooting which annihilates accuracy. Too used to games like COD.
can you guys maybe make a vid about how to play with low fps?
