Man, I miss when there were more videos like this. Not the "why [weapon] is bad and you shall [killbind] if you do it". This video is actually helpful and motivates me to improve my aim.
I'm very bad at aiming with shotguns in tf2 and it took me years to realize the reason was because I never have my full focus on my crosshairs. My attention is divided by my damage numbers, what's happening around my peripheral vision, the objective, and my hp. I started getting into the habit of aiming like how you would with guns with red dot sights in modern games which really helps for me because when you aim down sights in those games you tend to care more about lining up your shots over everything else. Also, a quick tip: Despite the shotgun being a semi auto weapon, you can hold down the fire button and the shotgun will continue to fire until you need to reload (This also works for other semi auto weapons). So if you feel like the macro of clicking for every shot hinders your aim or if you click so hard when shooting you recoil your own mouse throwing your aim off, try holding down the fire button when shooting instead of clicking repeatedly and see if that helps with your aim.
I don’t want to nerd out on you, and your comment is great but I have to say one thing. I know what you meant but technically, the scattergun is not a semiautomatic. You see, semiautomatic essentially refers to a gun that has an auto ejection method, or in other words, when you shoot the bullet the slide automatically goes back and ejects the bullet casing. Automatic is basically that but you don’t take your hand off the trigger. The scattergun would be considered lever action, a mechanism where after you shoot the gun, you have to use a lever to eject the casing. You can even see Scout do it in-game. The normal shotguns would be pump-action, where you, Yknow, pump the shotgun to eject the casing, and something like the sniper would be a bolt action, where you take a little thing on the side, pull it back to eject the casing, and then another shot loads in from the cartridge. tl;dr, it’s a lever action, not semi auto
i just realized i do that too i almost never look at my crosshair.. but i tried to only look at it but it just feels off even tho i can aim better like that
Ty, this helped a lot! I’m very new to fps games, specifically TF2, and I am stubbornly trying to learn to play Scout despite how absolutely ass I am at aiming / shooting in general. This really helps!
since starting to play comp, I've been constantly trying to improve. even though I'm mostly medic in that format, it's worthwhile to me to improve aim. thanks for the video, it's really useful for someone like me who only has about 600 hours
Might sound stupid, but basically my sensitivity was set at 4.58 in Team Fortress 2 (I thought this would allow me to turn around to spies/demoknights easier) I was even missing loose cannon shots on standing players every now and then, and missing 5 shots in a row with scout (only about 2/6 hits on heavies lol). Anyways, so after this video, I set the sensitivity to 2.55 instead, and my very first couple games had massive improvements (mostly with huntsmen). I was able to get much better flick shots, 2 long range headshots on enemy snipers (impossible for me b4), and got about 55 kills 33 deaths, and 33 headshots @ Ctf. Second match, got 49 kills ~28 deaths, 8075 damage, and about 25 headshots. I am finally playing like a 90 hour huntsman player, so thanks a lot!
Absolutely! Glad it helped. You aren't the only one that thinks that, that's why I put it's usually better to have a lower sensitivity. Most people think higher is better since you move faster but you have less mouse control :l super glad it helped tho. Best of luck with your games ❤️
It can be too high but it can be situational. For example scout can be good with higher sensitivity but it's way harder to control your mouse. It's usually better to be at full control over your mouse movement then move faster. Bigger mouse pad helps a lot too 👍
Comparing the sensitivity number in TF2 is basically useless unless you also know what the mouse DPI is. Anyway, it's weird, everyone says low sensitivity is better but I've been getting consistently better hits with a sensitivity of 10 (and 800 mouse dpi). Which I think is pretty high /shrug
"Just anylize how they are moving and place little bit ahead of where your best guesses they will now to." Humans are known to be unpredictable. And I'm not a fortune teller. How do I predict that?
Well, if you want to have that kill, you're gonna have to become a fortune teller. Aim where you believe they will be, low damage is 0.5 times better than no damage
I’m having trouble figuring out mouse sensitivity. Right now my mouse sensitivity is 2.75 and was 1.99. I’m trying to balance out movement and aim but don’t know how and get better and more precise aiming.
6:48 not valid for sniper mains from what i've seen, they usually get 3-4 hours of sleep, drink femboy milk and they beat themselves up because of a missed headshot
I wonder if Sydney Sleepee snipers are like that too Edit: I actually use the Sydney Sleeper, and the piss man loadout is the best and you cannot convince me otherwise. I just need the jarnaments and the jarate yellow band and it's complete
Maybe the reason I cant ever land shots in TF2 is becusee of my aim sensitivity. In a few other games in own (Fallout 4, Half Life 1 and 2 (whats weird is that is also a soirce game, but I guess I never set the sensitivity to be the same)) I hit my shots just fine. I guess I will hop on tr_walkway and tweak it!
As someone who JUST started playing fps games on PC, with tf2 as my first game, these are all really helpful tips But I want to ask some of the veterans: how long did it take until you could aim consistently?
Let's see Good reaction time, yeah 6-8 hours of sleep, yeah Self confidence, yeah I have none of that Guess i'll just have to ditch and come back to fortnut like the tiny baby man i am
I have a few, main ones you see in videos are my disco beat down brotherhood and my cool effect night terror scattergun. Tysm for the comment and best of luck! I have videos helping traders too if you need help 👍
Pretty much any tbh lol, most community servers don't have cheaters (unless that randomly changed recently) but if anything will have the occasional toggle cheater but usually nothing that bad.
Yeah but the thing is, I'm a new player, and I don't know how to navigate the community servers list, any time I pull up the community servers tab all I find are a bunch of empty servers for rocket jumping and stuff. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here so I was hoping y'all could tell me any servers I could look up.
wait... this guy plays the game...?
fun fact, he's not a scout main
it was obvious since he has viewmodels on..

Glad to help, movement guide should be next so hopefully that'll help explain movement in a bit of detail for players as well 👍

thanks for the video, it's really useful for someone like me who only has about 600 hours
Medic especially is a very stressful class, so a lot of the tips would definitely apply to it
omg why do you only have 500 subs? your videos are so well made, keep it up
Man seriously just told me to love myself and take care of myself to get better 🤣
(I seriously needed to be told)

what's your dpi?
I'm pretty sure 400
@@eksd5363 damn you guys run low sens lol, i run 1600 dpi 1.5 sens and i keep wondering if it's too high

Hiii! I found this video so helpful and interesting, thanks for sharing the tips
I used to be better at FPS games, but I have always been bad at aiming in TF2.
Something definitely feels off in tf2 with aim compared to other games, I've noticed it as well
Thanks been playing this game for a long time and I suck but want to improve!
awesome video dawg :)

okay well the thing about sensitivity IT ALWAYS CHANGES due to fricken mouse acceleration and i CANT turn it off i can only slow it down
Mouse acceleration you should always be able to turn off
underrated man
I often struggle trying to focus on the crosshair and anything between it
But im trying and im hoping that i will be better with time
If everyone had good aim, we'd all be mediocre players with equal kills/deaths. Aim is good, but aim at having fun.
1:01 no the top button changes if the mouse wheel is smooth or not
You right, newer models do, older ones don't really have that tho, just depends which models the person buys
6:04 ah yes, white text over a white background
Not every video can be gold 😭
"Just anylize how they are moving and place little bit ahead of where your best guesses they will now to."
Humans are known to be unpredictable. And I'm not a fortune teller. How do I predict that?
That's why you guess lol
Well, if you want to have that kill, you're gonna have to become a fortune teller. Aim where you believe they will be, low damage is 0.5 times better than no damage
i remember watching our streams. i recognised with your loadout lol
Ayyyy I appreciate it ❤️ hahaha
I’m having trouble figuring out mouse sensitivity. Right now my mouse sensitivity is 2.75 and was 1.99. I’m trying to balance out movement and aim but don’t know how and get better and more precise aiming.
Focus on getting sensitivity first, then combine movement after. You won't be able to do both at the same time until you're used to sensitivity first
6:48 not valid for sniper mains
from what i've seen, they usually get 3-4 hours of sleep, drink femboy milk and they beat themselves up because of a missed headshot
EXACTLY WHY I MENTIONED IT 😔 I usually only get that much sleep tho so I mean, maybe I should listen to myself
I wonder if Sydney Sleepee snipers are like that too
Edit: I actually use the Sydney Sleeper, and the piss man loadout is the best and you cannot convince me otherwise. I just need the jarnaments and the jarate yellow band and it's complete
overthinking was my problem and it would of being useful if I found this video sooner :(
keep yourself safe

It entirely depends obviously, but I would say average if I had to guess would be around 2-3 years of active practice tbh
Ok, thanks
hexhud is goated
Let's see
Good reaction time, yeah
6-8 hours of sleep, yeah
Self confidence, yeah
I have none of that
Guess i'll just have to ditch and come back to fortnut like the tiny baby man i am
Hahaha hey, it's useful in any shooter lol
just subbed. good content.
What's your reload animation name? I really like it and i wanna download it!
It's made by Paysus and it's called scout animation overhaul, you can get it on gamebanana

How can i go this server
What server
@eksd5363 training server id?
It was private, but the map is tr_walkway
litterly just turned down the sensitivity and im hitting so many more shots
What is gun down mode called?
Not sure what you're talking about tbh, try describing it more and I can probably help a bit more
@@eksd5363
I wanted to know how you got your gun down
@@bebeyoda671Oh you mean minimal view models? It's a setting in the advanced settings menu.

The better ones are too distracting cause they are so good and I would've been jamming out to hard while editing x.x
Step 1: Play the game until you get good
what is this hud?
HexHud
💜💜💜
My aim is lit good but bad aswell i used get mad for players killing me in tc2.
Wrong game but same difference
Anyone can aim? sure! can anyone do it right? Fuck no!
I just realized my sensitivity in tf2 is the highest D:
u cool i like this
his hud is hypnotize hud
(on gamebanana)
HexHud* but close
@@eksd5363 it looks very cool lol
Why the hell am I watching this? I main Medic,and I barely/never use his primary
It can be useful to know how other classes aim tho, helps you know how to move better lol
