Anyone here FPS gamers? I need tips for aiming.

Why am I asking SaSu, of all places? I don't know either. I don't have any friends that are good at this thing. Nor am I in any other online platform where I feel comfortable enough to be asking, either

download one of those free aim trainers on steam. make sure you're not dealing w like a laggy setup or anything bc otherwise i think the point is a bit moot. but yeah something like aimlabs and playing 20 mins a day.

Didn't even know those things existed, thanks

i'm kinda dogass at fps games, but i am one of the best players of all time in another game that isn't an fps but requires aim. personally my aim is easily my worst skillset but i think i can help a little because i knew quite a few aiming fanatics in the past.

first off, it depends on what game you're playing. games like cod have rather simplistic recoil patterns so you kinda just have to pull down your mouse if youre using something that's full auto, and then it's just tracking from there. on the flip side, something like csgo requires you to memorise the spray pattern and integrate it with your tracking, making it a lot harder.

i don't use aim trainers but i've heard a lot of good thing about them, so give them a shot. aimlabs is free and kovaaks is quite cheap as well. if you are going to use an aim trainer, you should practicing different skillsets - the main 2 flicks and tracking. the quite a lot of guides on youtube so yeah.

hope this helps a little. as mundane as it may sound, another way to improve aim is just by playing.

Yeah playing is a great thing too, just it's not good to stress it, if you stress it then it's just additional pleassure on yourself, best thing to do is like, a practice session and then a casual deathmatch, but a really casual one without taking it hard (with K/D ratio). I used to do that in CS and my aim improved :)
Didn't really have patience for rankeds so I kept on playing like it, and it was more a relaxing experience, especially with muted chat.

Intrested. What FPS are out there, any F2P? You a should check on configuring the mouse and cursor settings to set optimal targeting. I have cursor that sets a trail after movement and I think it makes my hand movement more accurate while doing different things.

Thanks, this is perfect because I was, in fact, playing cod.

I'm playing cod right now, but I also play other FPS like bf or tf2 (old game, I know, sue me)

haha nah don't worry, i love tf2 as it was a huge part of my childhood. glad i could help :)

I don't play competitive multiplayer FPS games, but I do enjoy co-op ones and those if anything have helped improve my aim better than any aim trainers or slamming my head against the wall against sweats in multiplayer. Payday 2 for example, I used to be pretty bad at, but now even after taking a break for many years can still consistently pop helmets while hipfiring using only the targeting laser on weapons. Deep Rock Galactic is another good one though the enemies are bugs and not humanoid. I feel like those games are a lot less stressful too so you're not worrying about hitting your shots as much, you'll just naturally get better over time.

Back when I used to play CSGO (now CS2) I tried out some of those workshop maps that were supposed to help your aim and didn't really find that it helped me much. It did help me figure out my mouse sensitivity and what kind of crosshair I wanted though so maybe that might help you if there's some kind of training mode or something in COD (even if on a controller).

That being said, despite me considering myself to be really good at aiming in PVE games, any time I hop on something like Apex Legends I get absolutely bodied. The people who play these kinds of games are giga sweats and it's going to take a very long time to get to that level. I'm still good at slower-paced ones like CS2 though, so maybe trying a game with different pacing might help?

That's hilarious and I'm kinda the same way, I'm great alone but suddenly ass on multiplayer and repeatedly spamming "it's the lag"

I'm not sure if it's a matter of being bad, but the fact that everybody else is just way too good because they spend 10 hours per day playing it. I don't have the drive to practice a game to be as optimal as possible because there's a point where you optimize the fun out of a game. I play for fun, not to win. A lot of people I know don't seem to understand that because they get very, very upset when they lose.

Yeah games are supposed to be fun! I laugh when I lose and try again! They lose their whimsy.

I need tips for aiming.

Depends on what level you're at. I'll assume you're new.

New players tend to look down into the ground, as if afraid to trip on something and fall.
Instead, place your sight where you likely want to shoot. That usually means: aim forward at head level.
If you're new, you probably don't realize how much of a difference that makes. Really, remind yourself to raise your aim if it drops below head level. You'll easily cut your reaction times in half.

Also train with loadouts which require good aim, and make a conscious effort to shoot in a controlled and accurate manner.
It can be tempting to just pick up a low accuracy close range weapon, to avoid the need of high accuracy. If your aim is poor, it's often a winning tactic, but it's not a good way to improve.

Unfortunately not new, and coincidentally I'm actually a sniper main. Still, thanks for the tips, appreciate.
