Valorant
Valorant is an FPS shooter game. Perfecting your aim is critical to climbing the rank ladder. Players who have not experienced FPS shooter games before may have issues with their game and overall aim.
Training your aim in Valorant requires many things, such as muscle memory and game awareness. Here's a complete Valorant aim guide that covers both in-game strategies and dedicated aim training routines.
Sensitivity Settings
Before doing any aim warm-up, Find the proper Sensitivity, which is crucial for precise aiming.
- Low Sensitivity: allows for more precise control when aiming at distant targets but requires more significant hand movements.
- High Sensitivity: This helps with fast flicks and close Range but might make precision difficult.
- Aim for a 180-degree turn across your mousepad using about 30-40 cm of movement. This balances precision and speed. Test and tweak sensitivity settings until they feel natural.
Warm-Up Routine
The range
Start your session with a warm-up to prepare your muscles and improve consistency.
- The Range: hop on the Range and focus on these three things
After finishing with the Range, go to the deathmatch mode and master these things:
- Deathmatch Mode: Spend 10-15 minutes in Deathmatch to practice against real players. Focus on crosshair placement, headshots, and reaction time. Don't stress about winning—prioritize aim consistency.
- Crouching: when playing Deathmatch, focus on not crouching. This will help you in the long run.
Crosshair Placement
- Don't aim at the floor or body; always strive for the head to improve accuracy and kill efficiency.
- Keep your crosshair at head level as you move across the map.
- Pre-aim angles before peeking so your crosshair is already in a position to shoot the enemy.
Weapon Mastery
Valorant loadout
Each gun is different from the other, so try to spend time with each one to understand the spray and fire rates.
- Vandal and Phantom: Focus on mastering their spray control, especially for the first ten bullets.
- Fire in short bursts. Try to minimize spraying, as it would help you since Valorant spray is random.
Aim Training Tools
Aimlab
This method is optional, but Incorporating third-party aim trainers could help a lot in aim training:
- Aim Lab or KovaaK's FPS Aim Trainer are popular tools. These programs offer specific training drills to improve reaction time, tracking, flick shots, and precision.
- Try drills like:
Movement and Aiming
Train yourself to minimize unnecessary movement when shooting, as it impacts accuracy.
- Strafe Shooting: Strafe left and right, and practice counter-strafing. This means releasing the movement key before shooting to reset your movement and regain accuracy.
- Avoid running while shooting unless you're close-range with a shotgun or SMG.
Does a Daily Aim Routine Improve Valorant Skills?
In aim training, consistency is critical. The result may show after a day or two but should be consistent with the daily aim routine. The more time you spend time training, the better you get
- Warm-Up (15 minutes)
- Aim Training (30 minutes)
- Weapon Mastery (15 minutes)
- In-Game Practice (Play Games)
