As someone that really wasn't interested in focus to begin with, I'm so glad I learned to play without it. I'd rather focus my muscle memory on 1 sensitivity, rather than 2. I doubled my focus sens so it's nearly 1:1 with my regular (maybe just a hair slower, which I actually like). But I still forget it exists half the time 🤣. Been having an absolute blast in the day I've been playing, and doing way better than I expected.
Thank you, man. I been recently training on games like deathmatch and or team deathmatch. Which improves my aim 10x better than when training and range. I will also try to focus on focusing when I need to and fix my crosshair placement as well and try to straf walk
@@blixenfpsnah focus is gonna get irrelevant once people get better and understand mechanics focus is more for the casual player base most good players including myself who have either come from pc or have just got the hang of it quickly don’t use it but that’s just my take on things don’t take what I’m saying for granted
@@potsiboi idk i’m immortal on pc probably gonna play console on launch just to make content but i can fr see it being useful to slow down especially sense if ur not running focus ur gonna need a faster sens
I ended up changing and getting rid of walk and focus mode and that has helped me tremendously. I kicked up the first two sensitivities to nine kept everything else the same also made my own crosshairs
Hey bro, this vid was great! Could u do a whole vid on how to counterstrafe? Possibly with a handcam or controller input overlay? I’ve been having a bit of trouble with that. Keep up the great work bro!
I have trouble finding headshot level as I’m so new & not knowing LOS, also shots not registering properly or dying instantly. Also have a sniper bug I emailed riot about where I ADS and the crosshairs goes elsewhere, and I have to in about .2ms adjust to snipe. Wondering if there’s a remedy for that too
its a lot easier imo to switch walking and running, having the smaller movement on the left stick to strafe is nice and pushing the stick the full way to walk makes it so i wont accidentally take a loud step if i go pass the threshold
Personally i use a fast version of smooth response curve that i got from one of the very first console setting vids for val. I had to tone it down a bit but as someone who uses linear on most games, smooth feels alot better and more fine with its control than linear does. Its close enough not to affect me switching games but smooth has better vertical comtrol which i like
I usually use focus mode when at range or when I need to give myself extra stability on my crosshair. I usually use it when holding and angle or pre aiming so that I can keep my crosshair stable. I also use it after I complete a flick to keep myself from not going away from the target. Once I get better control of my sticks I shouldn’t have to use it as much.
If anything the spread makes this game the opposite of rng. Having such an intense spread means you are essentially FORCED to go for quick headshots by tapping or bursting, which requires more technical skill and less rng than just spraying and praying like you do in cod.
Yo thanks for all the tips it they really helped and they made getting aces easier for me as I average about 1 every 2 games now and I tend to get positive every game
I'm having issues where when I try to aim with a vandal, or phantom, I cant hit anything long range, i suck on controller and havent played an fps "seriously" since halo reach (I'm old lol). I like valorant because its pacing is more similar too it, but I'm struggling with matching the feel of reach per se.
Just watch pros guides about this.Hcpeful can help you with tricks on console like aiming or moving,but if u want to learn how to use ur abilities right just watch Pro players guides
Rhats why i felt so at home. 5 to 10 years ago i played the 360 port and there was a legit community for it. I need to get usedd to the recoils then ill be dog walking kids like the good old days of csgo on the 360.
Only thing holding me back is the random stick drift i got on my right stick i cant play on low deadzone which is quite annoying since i cant get precise movements
one thing i hate absolutely hate about this game is that the game forces you to use focus mode when using the classic and i absolutely hate it so much, they need to swap the shotgun blast and single fire, idk why single fire is focus mode its so annoying.
I like csgo but my pc wont let me play valorant for some reason so im glad its coming to console, i just wish there was a gun with a scope that wasnt a sniper, i love the snipers im just so used to the ssg in csgo lol. Thank you for the tips
Hey Hcpeful! Great vid as always- For counterstrafing did it take you a while to get used to it? Ive tried it before but I always end up moving the opposite direction instead of a full stop 💀 also it feels fairly unnatural
Thank you for this I’d love a more in-depth video about how be better on console being that most likely the cross pool after the beta will most likely have us face pc players
So your settings have changed from the last video? You said in this video you don’t use focus at all but in the last video you said you use focus to clear corners and 180 faster.
theres a setting that makes u run while in focus. and focus gives u extra aim assist so PLEASE use ts its just better to turn this setting off and still get the aim assist
@Jay55273 tbf, it could be mistaken as more aim assist, because most of the response curves slow down your sens, and the slower ur sens is, the easier it is to keep on target, but the values are the same. But virtually every game with aim assist does this.
I'm an immortal pc player I have all the game sense but it all goes down the drain when it comes to aiming cuz I'm so shit in it as I just got my first console 2weeks ago and haven't used a controller my whole life for aiming 😭
not the worst idea! ive thought about it myself tbh, sometimes i dont even use crouch but sometimes its worth to have it available in certain situations. definitely not a bad idea!
Focus is literally jus hip fire with more aim assist I didn’t use it when I first started played but now I use it and I like it a lot jus sucks I can’t increase the sensitivity any faster
@@tea_with-mint Its because Valorant is crossplay between PS5 and Xbox. If PS5 had the advantage of gyro aim and Xbox didn’t have the feature people would be up in arms about it

u dropped an absolute gem by saying “dont crutch focus”😭 my aim is so consistent now
I. Am. Addicted. To. This. Game.
Same bro. Wanna run it? I been playing solo dolo
Same
Me too.
Same I’m glad I started playing this game
Fr 😭
I literally can't aim without focus, I just can't get used to not using it
Go into dm. Practice hipfire only and unbind focus fro a few games. You will die a lot atbfirst but u get used to it, trust
it can take time, if its what u need rn then theres nothing wrong with it
@@Hcpefullowkey everyone for beta until ranked needs to play without focus and then when ranked comes out use both that’s probably gonna be the best

Just bind your walk to lt or l2 and then your aim to your r3 or right stick and prioritize aim instead of focus makes it 10x easier to walk
hell yes, we need that crosshair placement video 🙏
I ended up changing and getting rid of walk and focus mode and that has helped me tremendously. I kicked up the first two sensitivities to nine kept everything else the same also made my own crosshairs
Thanks so much bro I’ve been tryna find a vid like this but couldn’t
The counter strafing really helped me with my aim, thanks man 🙏🏼
U can turn off walking while focused in the advanced controls settings
Hey bro, this vid was great! Could u do a whole vid on how to counterstrafe? Possibly with a handcam or controller input overlay? I’ve been having a bit of trouble with that. Keep up the great work bro!
Same here bro it's like my crosshair is on them but when I take the shot the bullet curves away 😂
THANK YOU i was trying to learn how to counterstrafe on consoleand couldnt figure it out
The game plays surprisingly well on console tbh, everyone (including me) still kinda sucks but it’s fun seeing the progression the more I play
I’m not gonna lie this helped a bunch as far as not using focus. It’s definitely going to minimize the time. Needed to adjust on someone.
I was able to get used to not focusing pretty quickly and it has worked, but it is something that varies with different players
I have trouble finding headshot level as I’m so new & not knowing LOS, also shots not registering properly or dying instantly. Also have a sniper bug I emailed riot about where I ADS and the crosshairs goes elsewhere, and I have to in about .2ms adjust to snipe. Wondering if there’s a remedy for that too
Great vid! can’t wait till game releases to see what else you got
its a lot easier imo to switch walking and running, having the smaller movement on the left stick to strafe is nice and pushing the stick the full way to walk makes it so i wont accidentally take a loud step if i go pass the threshold

Can I ask what?
I have crouch unbound and I have walk bound to L1 so I don’t have to worry about accidentally running in tense situations
I usually use focus mode when at range or when I need to give myself extra stability on my crosshair. I usually use it when holding and angle or pre aiming so that I can keep my crosshair stable. I also use it after I complete a flick to keep myself from not going away from the target. Once I get better control of my sticks I shouldn’t have to use it as much.
the spread makes this game not fun, sometimes you get triple kill sometimes you cant kill one, feels too rng
just tap spraying isnt good in this game
this is why you burst/tap silly. If you spray you won’t be accurate. If you move and shoot you won’t be accurate. it’s as simple as that
If anything the spread makes this game the opposite of rng. Having such an intense spread means you are essentially FORCED to go for quick headshots by tapping or bursting, which requires more technical skill and less rng than just spraying and praying like you do in cod.
it makes the game require more raw skill and practice and NOT judt rng like lots of other games
Yo thanks for all the tips it they really helped and they made getting aces easier for me as I average about 1 every 2 games now and I tend to get positive every game
They need to add an option to turn off focus mode, i hate focus mode so much when using any gun, mainly classic
Go into your settings and go to controls then the aim tab and scroll down till you see the prioritize slider and turn it to prioritize ads
literally 😭
I mainly use counter strafing when walking forward and tap back. I never really use the side to side ones
Congrats on 13 u growing so fast I remember when u we’re at 1k back in ow1
Full counter strafing video please!
How do you get your Overwatch montages to look so smooth do you use your pc or something to improve quality because in mine they look bad
I think they edit it after recording
is there a way we can turn off the little combat report thing on the right side of the screen in game?
What’s your game sir settings ?
You can run with focus if you change the settings
Bro ur voice over cuts are wild 🤣
What is your sensitivity and do you prioritize ADS or prioritize focus?
have a video with my sens on my channel and I prioritize focus!
I have prioritise ads on and i turned off walk while in focus and its way better i did this ages ago thx for the tips tho
ty i needed this
I'm having issues where when I try to aim with a vandal, or phantom, I cant hit anything long range, i suck on controller and havent played an fps "seriously" since halo reach (I'm old lol).

Can u make a guide how to use smokes or flash or walls better?
Just watch pros guides about this.Hcpeful can help you with tricks on console like aiming or moving,but if u want to learn how to use ur abilities right just watch Pro players guides
You can put your mini map to .8, .8 and it will show the whole map
@Hcpeful if we buy stuff from the beta will it be on our account when the game releases sorry if this a dumb question
Yes! It’s not a dumb question at all

Crosshair placement is the most important thing in this game

what response curve u use

Hey Hcpeful! Great vid as always-
For counterstrafing did it take you a while to get used to it? Ive tried it before but I always end up moving the opposite direction instead of a full stop 💀 also it feels fairly unnatural
it definitely takes a lot of practice! it’s super useful, keep practicing it and I promise you’ll see the results.
U changed your sensitivity at all? Or still the 5 for everything and light curve
Ive been pinging pre aim spots because of rainbow game sens somewhat carrying over
You make aiming on console look easy, I find my aim just goes all over the screen
Yo bro i learned How to deadzone on controller but i dont know when to use it at all
Can we get a new setting update since you don’t use focus anymore
Being that valorant is basically 2d moving it best to at least base some of your moving as bro mentions and add your own to perfect your aim
Thank you for this I’d love a more in-depth video about how be better on console being that most likely the cross pool after the beta will most likely have us face pc players
they will not make you play against pc players because its a different game to pc, some agents are balanced way differently for controller.
There is no crossplay between pc and console!
thank you
Need that depth video
Never have i ever played a game with so nuch gun bloom even whilebstanding still an focusing.
Do we need xbox live or ps plus for this?
Nope,free

So your settings have changed from the last video? You said in this video you don’t use focus at all but in the last video you said you use focus to clear corners and 180 faster.
Do you use kontrolfreaks?
Will valorant permanently stay on console ?
Yes
Can you make a new settings video
Just played against you in FFA lmao gg
do u still use light for all your curves?
Ye
Counter-strafe vid in the works...hmmm🤔
I prioritise ads and find it better is that good or bad ?
It’s not bad but you will have lower fire rate unless it’s the Odin.
After watching this I hit all heads with a sheriff 😭
I hope the rumor is not true.. the global release for console would be 2025.
I just changed the walk sense makes it easier
Yo u didnt give the sensitivt settings
More aim content plz ❤
theres a setting that makes u run while in focus. and focus gives u extra aim assist so PLEASE use ts its just better to turn this setting off and still get the aim assist
We valorant has no aim assist
It does not give extra aim assist, its just a slower sensitivity

If you could swing me your crosshair that be solid brother
Are you able to use kbm on console
I’m already used to not using focus coming from a pc roller people should def not be using it and get used to the regualar mechanics
does anyone have an xbox code? i wanna play so bad bro😭
anyone have a code? ive always wanted to play valorant but my pc cant run jt
I seen someone say yesterday they unbound crouch and bound walk to a back paddle button, what’s your thoughts on that?
not the worst idea! ive thought about it myself tbh, sometimes i dont even use crouch but sometimes its worth to have it available in certain situations. definitely not a bad idea!
What about binding walk to focus aim? So left trigger?@@Hcpeful
i'd love more console info (im so ass)
I’m so bad at valorant I never get kills or a good combat score I have over 50 hours in this game and haven’t improved at all
I get that I was born on controller but why is my 6 months of val on KnM I'm bronze 1 and my first day console I'm gold 3
New settings vid please!!!
thank u sirrrr
smth i do is use l3 for walk bind
Focus is literally jus hip fire with more aim assist I didn’t use it when I first started played but now I use it and I like it a lot jus sucks I can’t increase the sensitivity any faster
Full size map? How?
People can’t control their movement input like that? It’s pretty easy.
I’ve never played a game with gunplay this inconsistent before
