Hehe. I want to see you try to aim well, flick well and track well in a smartphone. I'm a pc player but I've been practicing my skills on my phone instead, to see how far my results will go.
Do you have any tips for those who play on a 60hz monitor as I currently have no better means of buying a monitor with a higher FPS Hz in this case? I ask if you have any tips because I feel like there is a lot of image tearing and if I turn on v-sync I end up having a lot of delay, would you be able to help me in some way I'm tired of dying because the guy has some FPS bigger or something. R5600+RX6600 8GB.
I want to start by saying that I've always had decent aim, maybe slightly above average at best. After watching a bunch of other aim tip guides, my aim started getting worse. Specifically, because a lot of other guides I've seen say NOT to read/predict movement to adjust your aim, rather to use reaction and kinetic and dynamic vision instead. I always thought, "Well, these guys know more than me, let's give it a try." I hit a skill ceiling and was missing more shots than ever, despite regularly using aim trainers. Your analysis about movement reading, route planning, reaction time tax, and perceived target speed have completely changed my aim, and the results were instant. Seriously, I loaded into a game of The Finals right after watching this and absolutely popped off. And every game after that, my aim was better and more consistent than ever. All of that is to say that this was the most helpful aim guide I've ever seen. Thank you!
i still dont get how this helps. Tracking should feel natural and just come down to practice, and this stuff on route planning and and thinking about reaction time tax just over complicates it i feel? Maybe for game sense and predicting their movements it makes sense. How did it improve your aim?
Thank you so much.. I think you fix my problem too, I was too focus on the crosshair on tracking where the enemy is. I used the factors like knowing the target speed.
At 16:40 what helped me figure that out and get that awareness in game without thinking was play a bunch not caring about dying but just working on noticing it until it becomes familiar enough. The joy you get from killing someone after working on something is such a high

I usually very much dislike aim improvement videos, as a lot of them just say “practice”, but that doesn’t really mean much to me. This video really explains what that really means, and made me realise that I overcompensate my aim. Thank you so much, Struth! I’ve tried aim trainers before, and (at least from the ones I’ve tried) they usually don’t really explain more than “smoothness training”, “flick training”, but don’t really explain how and when to utilise that training. Keep up the great work, and again, thanks Struth!
So I'm an instructor in shooting sports, and focusing on your target is the #1 thing, everybody looks way too much at their crosshair/pin and trying to place it over their target, focus on your target, and let your brain and eyes center it, your body and brain are already good at centering objects on other objects, so focus on what you actually need to adjust.
Before this video I had a lot of trouble winning strafing fights because I was following the opponent instead of predicting their movement, I tried predicting and I am instantly so much better and also most people strafe right first about 85% of the time so every time I meet an enemy just as the strafe 1v1 is about to begin I move left(enemy's right) shortly after the first contact. It just works. OH MY!!! This channel is insane!
I recently switched from controller (since ps2 release in 2000) to M&K and I found that "autopilot" was even affecting my controller aim and may even be slightly proggammed in my mind due to AA. Another thing is that on controller my strafing was so much slower/wider, so when A-D strafing my reaction to my own change in direction was plaguing me. My aim is improving, but honesly the biggest improvements have come from r5 reloaded 1v1 servers. I sure dont win a lot, but I do feel every aspect of my close range game improving which is more fun than using the input I am most comfortable on.
Would like to add my two cents here for tracking: The hand-eye coordination! Although everyone knows about it, not everyone knows how to properly apply it mechanically. Say you want to track a target. Your eyes can follow but your hands can't because you're trying to focus on both eye focus and arm movement. What you can do is mentallt isolate control and imagine your arm as your eyes instead of focusing on both at once. Usually your eyes know how fast it needs to travel to track something, but your arms don't. Instead, move your arm the way your eye is trying to move and your tracking and flicking will improve significantly. Gotta make sure your sensitivity is also the same speed as your eyes though!
This is the absolute BEST aim guide I’ve ever seen… I’ve always tried to react not track because when I tried to reactively track it never worked… but now I know to focus on the enemies sprite to see which direction they are going plus take their movement into consideration for guessing what is going to happen… absolutely fantastic!!!
I would be lying to say that this hasn’t instantly helped me, I’ve put time into dummy training and whatnot but I swear after watching this I hopped in apex and absolutely popped off, I used to think I was wank at the game but I just needed to track more consciously and less reactively, amazing video, subscribing as we speak.
Same, my accuracy improved so much! I was under the impression that reactive tracking will make you the most accurate but I was clearly wrong. With predictive tracking, I was tracking enemies far better than I ever have.
This is the best video I have ever seen on this topic. You put into words a lot of nebulous concepts that I had to learn on my own, as well as making some other stuff finally click. Seriously, the biggest tip here is remembering that there is a person on the other side of the screen with goals that are most likely very similar to yours. Remembering that, as well as the fact that humans aren't actually good at being unpredictable is the real lesson here that no amount of mechanical practice will help you realize.
4:52 another solution that I’ve been using that doesn’t get you made fun of as much is putting half of a piece of paper on your mousepad where you arm rests. This provides a smooth surface that lets your arm glide better than with a sleeve on cloth pad. At least in my opinion.
Happy to see another aim chad video. Can't wait for your ClawMate to be available for distribution with cheaper shipping. Hope everything is going well for you.
While I would've used a slightly different terminology this is, finally, a guide that actually shows important parts, fundamentals, of aiming. Especially when it comes to reading player animations (movement), it's one of the core fundamentals of aiming. The other overlooked part (generally-speaking), again mentioned in this very video, is WASD to modify aim.
I essentially unlocked this in a week by playing bastion aim trainers in overwatch. Zero recoil and consistent feedback on tracking (hit markers with minigun) helps, then you just need reps. It helped me to play the TOBYN workshop map, where you essentially have to kill an aimbot soldier with random inputs before he kills you, and it really improves your lock on and track consistency. This helps your brain understand what it needs to do, then you just need to introduce different movement speeds and types, at different distances, and you will be able to use it in game. It's not a quick process, but it's MUCH simpler to master than other aim types.
This has helped my gameplay tremendously. I wish I could have came across this video when I first started playing FPS. Better late than never! Subscribed
Thank you for confirming more of confidence than anything. I like the approach to less aim and more about applying more thought into tracking and techniques. I am more of a Flick based shooter myself and my tracking seems poor in games. but maybe its more about the ideas about where my mouse is going than it is reacting to their movement. Thanks for the advice great video!
What do you mean by "flick based shooter"? One of the most important things people don't understand, in my opinion, is that flicking is essentially what your muscles have learned from consistent tracking, but done at an extreme speed. Meaning you can't develop consistent flicking if you're not practicing track aiming.
@@SlCKNESS_ what I mean is when I shoot I don’t track and shoot my target in a sense. Like I do but my cursor wi float around the head than I’ll do a quick flick and click on the head than go off the head. The best example I can give you is Cassidy from Overwatch because, he is a single shot pistol I flick onto the head with each shot. I’m not constantly tracking the head. Where as soldier 76 I’ll just be tracking the head non stop
That last chapter about minimizing mouse movement might be the most important chapter for myself as an apex player. For the most part I have decent aim but depending on the day, I definitely have those days where for whatever reason I feel like I’m tensing/panicking in most fights and flick back and forth to track than smoothly moving my mouse. I tho k a big part of this might be tied to performance anxiety, where for some reason I always feel like I need to perform well even if I’m just playing with randoms cuz I don’t like feeling like I let them down. But even outside of aiming I feel like I tend to flick around when changing what I’m looking at. I think the focusing on crosshair placement can really help here more than most might think. Ironically I used to actually be very good at keeping this in mind when I mained Cod but because apex movement is so much more unpredictable, I think I kinda lost this tool a bit. I’ve also recently transitioned to lowering my mouse sense in game by quite a bit. I used to run 1.96 at 750 dpi (28.27cm/360) which I’d learned a few months ago is actually pretty damn high compared to most for apex when I always thought it was on the lower end. Dropped sense all the way down to 1.80 still at 750 dpi (30.79cm/360) and literally in the first match I noticed significant improvement!
I have watched hundreds of aim guides till now, and this is THE BEST GUIDE out of all. They all talk about stupid stuff that don't even actually help aiming but this video, just right on point. Anyone can aim well instantly as long as they know what to focus on when they are AIMING. I've wasted so many hours trying to get good and practiced and grided so hard with hardly any results at all. But as soon as I started to focus on the RIGHT THING when aiming, i instanly started beaming players. Good job. I wish I watched this video back then :D
This works and is great advice for most of the FPS games on the market right now. But this doesn't really work as well for warzone where you are forced into always being in react mode because of randomized aimsway and jitter, they like to call "firing stability" . This adds a lot of visual noise while youre trying to aim and in the case of aimsway depending on where the pattern is pathing it can force a player to make volitile changes in the speed they move the mouse. One gunfight might be easy . The next more difficult because the aim sway decided to throw a pattern that took you far away from the enemy and they decided to drop shot. As Struth also mentioned Apex also gives BOTH MnK and controller access to recoil mitigation where warzone only gives controller mitigation against randomized aim sway in the form of rotational aim assist. Basically if you're a warzone player and you're watching this video to improve your tracking , you will be frustrated because its not going to work in that game the way you see the tips work here , and this is the fault ofthe developers of warzone for ruining MNK on that game. the only people who will be able to consistently track as seen in this video but in warzone, are controller players with aim assist. If you also look at Overwatch... no aim sway. its only call of duty that really has this garbage mechanic in order to make its aim assist more inherently have an advantage.
You should also make a video discussing ADS sens and its relation to aim. Im specifically talking about how games like Call of Duty and Battlefield use a default ads coefficient of 1.33 and how a lot of people say you should use 0 as the coefficient or 1.78 as the coefficient or just keep it default. Its pretty confusing and hearing an explanation on how it correlates to aim would be interesting.
I have no idea what coefficient does but a few content creators have said keeping it at 100 helps with muscle memory because all others mess with it so I use that. For Battlefield anyway
@@PlayshotKalo The default is 1.33, I've heard content creators say keep it at that, I've heard some say put it to 1.78, I've seen some say put it to 0. But it'd still like to hear what he has to say regarding it.
It's a topic I want to cover soon, still figuring a few things out to best package up the ideas. I personally think 0 coefficient has the most sound reasoning behind it 'focal length scaling', and find that it feels best to me in-game.
you guys are all clueless wtf.. if you want a 1:1 hipfire to ads ratio you just play fucking legacy just like me or the best Mnk in the game *strahfe* gosh its not that hard to figure it out
@@xRealUzz Not that simple. Strahfe uses 1:1 because it perfectly matches hipfire in ADS and is good for close/medium range sights. 1.33/1.78 is worse for close sights but better for weapons with scopes with a higher magnification. It's all personal preference at the end of the day, no need to be rude about it.
I play a lot XDefiant lately on MnK and i sucked at tecking. I always been a die hard high sense player and always wanted to makw it work. Your vid convinced me due to the not overcomeable disadvantage. I drastically decreased my DPI and sens so now i am from 6/cm to at least 18cm/360 which is a big step for me but tracking really feels more doable now. Still have to get used to so much mouse movement but hey never to late even in my age 😂👍
A Detailed Breakdown of Each Point for Improving Tracking: 1. Consistent Speed: Core principle: Move your crosshair at the same speed as your target to keep it on them. Determining speed: Distance: The further away the target, the slower you need to move your mouse. Target movement: Running, walking, crouching - all influence aiming speed. Other factors: Whether the enemy is ADSing, airborne, etc. Practice: Train against bots or in the practice range to get a feel for aiming speed at different distances and with various target movements. In-game, focus on analyzing the situation and choosing the appropriate mouse movement speed. 2. Mouse Sensitivity: Importance: Too high sensitivity leads to jittery aim and makes precise tracking difficult. Recommendations: FPS: 25-50 cm/360 Tactical Shooters: 35-80 cm/360 Tools: Sites like aiming .pro can help determine your current sensitivity. Tip: Even if your current sensitivity feels comfortable, try lowering it and practicing - you might notice a significant improvement in accuracy. 3. Movement Reading: Foundation: Predicting target movement to have your crosshair where they will be, not where they were. How to learn: Focus: Concentrate on the target to notice details - their gaze direction, leg movement, animations, etc. Analysis: Consider the enemy's goal (reach cover, attack, retreat) and the environment (walls, obstacles, elevation). Planning: Visualize the target's trajectory and prepare your mouse movements in advance. Examples: An enemy in the open will likely move towards the nearest cover. An enemy in a narrow corridor is limited by walls when strafing. Jumps and other actions have predictable trajectories. 4. Player Movement: Impact: Your movement affects crosshair speed and direction. Techniques: Anti-mirror strafing: Move in the opposite direction of the target to compensate for crosshair movement and increase aiming speed. Mirror strafing: Copy the target's movement to minimize the need for aiming. Tip: Combine changes in movement direction with changes in mouse movement speed and/or direction. 5. AD Strafing: Challenge: Rapid changes in direction make tracking difficult. Approaches: Reactive: Wait for direction changes and quickly snap your crosshair back onto the target. Proactive: Predict direction changes and move your crosshair in advance. How to predict: Context: Consider the situation (health, position) and the enemy's goal. Environment: Limited space, cover, etc. Tip: Practice smooth transitions between aiming directions to avoid jittery aim. 6. Minimizing Mouse Movement: Goal: Reduce unnecessary movement and increase accuracy. How to achieve: Control: Focus on smooth and deliberate movements, avoid jerky flicks. Positioning: Keep your crosshair at head/chest level, pointed towards where enemies are likely to appear. Inspiration: Try to mimic the smoothness and precision of controller aiming. General advice: Observe professional players and analyze their movements to learn effective tracking. Remember, practice and analysis are key to success!
it always felt like my mouse was sinking into the pad but thought nothing of it most times. after watching this video, given i live in a pretty humid environment, and i have a massive case of jumpy tracking, i now realise that my mouse pad is probably affecting my aim alot. thanks, good video👍.
I can't express how much I appreciate this video. It completely changed how I track and aim at targets. Before, every fight felt chaotic and overwhelming. I used to think other players moved impossibly fast, but it was just my own stress and panic. Some players still move erratically (looking at you, Octane), but I've noticed their chaotic movements impair their aim too. More importantly, this video has greatly improved my enjoyment of the game. I think more clearly during fights and land satisfying shots without overthinking. I can only play a few hours due to real-world commitments, but thanks to this video, I'm having much more fun playing Apex Legends.
I'll just add from someone playing at 10cm 360 atm that's its completely doable. I'm not a professional or anything but I manage to reach top rank in overwatch, cs etc. But there's probably more potential with lower sens.
Nice guide overall, but i think there are two things missing: 1. Corrections mid-tracking (snapping back to target). But you briefly mentioned it. 2. Comes from first: jittery tracking as an actual style of aim.
man thank you so much for the summarized guide to seek better aims. Just want to know whats ur kovvac skin (or theme) cause its very pleasing to the eyes.
Yo thank you for the AD tracking tip! It INSTANTLY solved my jittery tracking when my target (and myself) are doing AD movements. I was overly relying on my reaction time. Thank you man!
Bro, when I concentrate on the enemy, especially on some part, such as the chest, I lose sight of the crosshair or sight, I just stop seeing it. What to do ? How to avoid it ?
Ik it might sound too simple, but experiment with different crosshair colors. A bright cyan works for me in most games. Depending on the color palette of the game, a pink or bright green have also served me well.
Amazing video. I use to have a great aim and decent tracking, but my eyesight is declining x). I tend to play with semi-auto guns now so I can use my "flick-on-flick-off" technique in between shots. Really not efficient but i need to get the reticules of the target area or i can't comprehend what is on screen prolerly 😂. No epileptic person can watch me play safely.
your explanation is GODLY bro, thanks a lot for this video. been struggling with tracking because i rarely play FPS, and this video boutta change my fps experience fr
Maybe. It depends if you were exposed to the particle accelerator star labs explosion, or not. If so, if you keep practicing running on an hamster wheel you will become supersonic and win the Olympic games, before being able to walk across dimensions. You know, running on a round surface simulates running through dimension because of it's curvature. "add your favorite trolling pseudo science". and there is the recipe for aiming.
Good question, I think the more you practice it and play, the more natural it becomes. For bigger picture predictions (like running up stairs, tracking a jumppad, a jumping enemy etc) it gets very natural and automatic. Trickier stuff like predicting AD strafes isn't as automatic and I usually only find myself doing it when I get a good read. But if I do think about it, I can predict AD strafing much more often and much better. I haven't actually clocked many hours in FPS games lately, so I think it takes me a bit more thought than if I were playing every day and working on these skills.
I haven't checked but usually I would get around 50-80ms. You can be forced to play other servers for ranked to get queues to pop, but that's a population issue.
Just a note for my apex players: if you are on MnK, if you mirror strafe someone on controller they will destroy you. Try to anti mirror. However, if you’re a controller player, do your best to mirror strafe.
So i guess Google has upgraded from hearing everything to reading my sensitivity... I used to play 7cm/360 for 10 years including hitting platinum in r6 when it came out and switched to 12 last year. I'm just now trying 15-25cm/360 range and somehow this video mysteriously shows up in recommended 😳
I have played first person shooters for over a decade and have always had very good aim, currently using 11.5cm/360 and have no issues being smooth or consistent with my mouse control. It seems like the sensitivies you suggest rely on arm aiming? but for me that has always felt really uncomfortable.
You cannot have consistent speed if your gear is not good quality/inconsistent dirty material or for example slower mousepads... i thing it plays a big role too. I track way better with faster/fresh mousepads than older slower ones. Even frame inconsistency can mess your tracking
True, although one thing I would add is that perfectly smooth tracking isn't totally necessary. So long as any jitters are small and confined to the hitbox you're aiming at it doesn't really matter. Slower pads and higher tension can lead to choppy looking tracking, but it can still be very accurate.
My issue with sensitivity is I've literally forced myself to be on a "normal" sens for months, and upon going back to my fast sens (17cm/360) I did better. No matter how long I take to "adjust" for some reason slow (what I deem slow, which is normal, like 30cm/360) feels unnatural and makes me do worse. Like my aim isn't prefect with my high sens either, sure I over flick or miss shots occassionally but I get more kills and feel more confident. I haven't heard anyone else having this issue, have any idea what it is and if theirs a fix?
I'm using 22.2 cm per 360 on a QcK and viper mini. That is sens 1.17 on 1600 DPI in Quake Champions and fov 120. I zoom/scope a lot with fov 79 without touching the zoom sens multiplier. I'm so used to these settings that adjusting anything will make me play so much worse that I can't bother trying to lower the sens. In tdm and death match I'm likely top 100 in the world although the player base is pretty small with just around 1000 active players. My biggest issue is that I'm so used to the QcK that I can't go with another pad. And the main issue being the combination of high sensitivity and the pad being affected by humidity. When the glide is perfect it feels I can beat almost anyone. But on more humid days I'm just average. I hate having to adjust any of my gear that I'm used to since it's always ten steps back without any certanty that it will lead to any improvement with time.
I used to exclusively buy QcK+ (renamed to QcK Heavy later on, I believe) mousepads, but I got tired of how much slower the pad becomes over time (or just in humid days). Currently using Fnatic JET XL Pro. I have no complaints, except it's not nearly as fast as the internet would have you believe. It's a hybrid pad, not entirely cloth. I used to play on 1200 DPI and high sens in most games, I was a wrist aimer. After 15 years of being stubborn I switched to 400 DPI and low sens. While I had to learn to WASD properly (apparently I didn't need to at high DPI and sens) it's made me SIGNIFICANTLY more consistent, playing on low DPI and sens. More importantly I now have situations where it doesn't even feel like I'm moving my hand and I'm tracking someone perfectly. Back in my "high sens" days I 'd never experienced that, even in days where I felt like I could never miss a shot. The effort I had to put into being precise was a lot more. Also, the higher your sens/DPI the more you're gonna feel the slow down of your mousepad. This is not a joke. I was recently experimenting with high sens (not in a shooter), this was before I bought my Fnatic JET XL Pro mousepad, so my old mousepad who was old and slow, and I felt the slow much much more on the higher sens. P.S: As a reference, now that I'm a proper "arm aimer" (incorrect term, you still use a lot of wrist) I'm using 41.5636 cm/360. 400 DPI at 2.5 in-game sens in Apex. And unlike most players I use 90 FOV exclusively (unless the game does not allow for it), because it's a faster sens, compared to 120 FOV. It also allows you to see further, which is important in some of the shooters I play (Hunt Showdown, mainly).
When tracking targets in a CQC, if I run out of mousepad space mid track, what do I do? Also, when there's a lot of verticality involved, I notice my arms dangling off during my tracking, what do I do in this instance? I've been forcing myself to reset my resting position every so often but during tracking I'd have to momentarily pause, reset and then continue shooting which is annoying. Sometimes I would try flicking ahead, reset my position and then continue tracking but I'm quite poor at that. Any tips?
A quick reset, or prepping your hand if you know a large tracking moving is about to begin is about all you can do. For example. If someone is about to hop on a zipline moving to your right, you can move your mouse to the left side of your mousepad to begin the long track. Another example would be if you're fighting CQC with someone who is playing off cover (they have a corner to the right side of your screen), you can have your mouse positioned toward the right side of your pad anticipating tracking from the wall out to the left (you can't hit them through the wall, so the mousepad space that would aim at the corner and beyond isn't needed). Running out of space and having to do quick resets is one of the tradeoffs of playing on lower sensitivities. You can always use a larger mousepad if possible to reduce how often it becomes a problem.
4:55 WOAW wait a sec.... is my entire arm supposed to be resting on the desk??? ive always played with just my wrist sitting on my desk and my arm hanging low off it
by the way when sombody is ad straving, and you have problem making a smoth motion whit your mouse, try making an extreamly tight ellipse to smoth it out
What should be the sensitivity. I lowered my sensitivity, but I take way too much time to do 180 degree turns. Should my sensitivity be enough for me to 180 in one sweep?
chapter 2 is for real, but the issues discussed also include my own movement :(. On tracer in OW for example my *own* movement being unpredictable (autopilot) causes my aim to be jittery

I usually very much dislike aim improvement videos, as a lot of them just say “practice”, but that doesn’t really mean much to me. This video really explains what that really means, and made me realise that I overcompensate my aim. Thank you so much, Struth!
I’ve tried aim trainers before, and (at least from the ones I’ve tried) they usually don’t really explain more than “smoothness training”, “flick training”, but don’t really explain how and when to utilise that training.
Keep up the great work, and again, thanks Struth!
So I'm an instructor in shooting sports, and focusing on your target is the #1 thing, everybody looks way too much at their crosshair/pin and trying to place it over their target, focus on your target, and let your brain and eyes center it, your body and brain are already good at centering objects on other objects, so focus on what you actually need to adjust.
And then you notice that you're subconsciously centering your targets, which causes you to start doing badly again because you're focusing on it.
@@perishedsins becoming hyper aware of my focus is a one way track to losing the flow state I had in the first place. Very annoying 😂
@@yohan4027whenever this happens, I make a conscious effort of refocusing on my target. Usually, that does the trick.
Before this video I had a lot of trouble winning strafing fights because I was following the opponent instead of predicting their movement, I tried predicting and I am instantly so much better and also most people strafe right first about 85% of the time so every time I meet an enemy just as the strafe 1v1 is about to begin I move left(enemy's right) shortly after the first contact. It just works. OH MY!!! This channel is insane!
I recently switched from controller (since ps2 release in 2000) to M&K and I found that "autopilot" was even affecting my controller aim and may even be slightly proggammed in my mind due to AA. Another thing is that on controller my strafing was so much slower/wider, so when A-D strafing my reaction to my own change in direction was plaguing me. My aim is improving, but honesly the biggest improvements have come from r5 reloaded 1v1 servers. I sure dont win a lot, but I do feel every aspect of my close range game improving which is more fun than using the input I am most comfortable on.
whats ur name on there
@@kamiswxrld owagner80 hbu? ill probably hop on there for a bit after work today
Would like to add my two cents here for tracking: The hand-eye coordination!
Although everyone knows about it, not everyone knows how to properly apply it mechanically. Say you want to track a target. Your eyes can follow but your hands can't because you're trying to focus on both eye focus and arm movement. What you can do is mentallt isolate control and imagine your arm as your eyes instead of focusing on both at once. Usually your eyes know how fast it needs to travel to track something, but your arms don't. Instead, move your arm the way your eye is trying to move and your tracking and flicking will improve significantly.
Gotta make sure your sensitivity is also the same speed as your eyes though!
100% agree with you. In the end it is hand eye coordinate which we have to sync with practice.
10th like :D
Big brain never thought of it
Yes whats the name for it? Memory muscle something
Ill zry it out
This is the absolute BEST aim guide I’ve ever seen… I’ve always tried to react not track because when I tried to reactively track it never worked… but now I know to focus on the enemies sprite to see which direction they are going plus take their movement into consideration for guessing what is going to happen… absolutely fantastic!!!
The good part is that this advices helps even if you playing with stick, sensor or gyro. What a great vid man
I would be lying to say that this hasn’t instantly helped me, I’ve put time into dummy training and whatnot but I swear after watching this I hopped in apex and absolutely popped off, I used to think I was wank at the game but I just needed to track more consciously and less reactively, amazing video, subscribing as we speak.
Same, my accuracy improved so much! I was under the impression that reactive tracking will make you the most accurate but I was clearly wrong. With predictive tracking, I was tracking enemies far better than I ever have.

@@NateThurlow “high notes hater” ahhh reply
This is the best video I have ever seen on this topic. You put into words a lot of nebulous concepts that I had to learn on my own, as well as making some other stuff finally click.
Seriously, the biggest tip here is remembering that there is a person on the other side of the screen with goals that are most likely very similar to yours. Remembering that, as well as the fact that humans aren't actually good at being unpredictable is the real lesson here that no amount of mechanical practice will help you realize.
Thank you so much for the captions, i can see you manually put them in and it helped me a lot with this video ❤
i think this is arguably one of the best tracking and aim in general guide i have seen. simple yet with a lot of useful stuff. nice
4:52 another solution that I’ve been using that doesn’t get you made fun of as much is putting half of a piece of paper on your mousepad where you arm rests. This provides a smooth surface that lets your arm glide better than with a sleeve on cloth pad. At least in my opinion.
What a great video, even after 400 hours in kovaaks I learnt alot and improved immediately from some of these tips. Thanks mate
It would be so funny if he was just cheating
Fr
Is he not??
or on controller LOL
he has no recoil
Ya all wanna hate so much on controller when you can leterly buy you one and use one too dont by ah bish ,xd
you have the most helpful/best aiming videos. you explain everything very thoroughly and well.
Happy to see another aim chad video. Can't wait for your ClawMate to be available for distribution with cheaper shipping. Hope everything is going well for you.
While I would've used a slightly different terminology this is, finally, a guide that actually shows important parts, fundamentals, of aiming. Especially when it comes to reading player animations (movement), it's one of the core fundamentals of aiming. The other overlooked part (generally-speaking), again mentioned in this very video, is WASD to modify aim.
I essentially unlocked this in a week by playing bastion aim trainers in overwatch. Zero recoil and consistent feedback on tracking (hit markers with minigun) helps, then you just need reps. It helped me to play the TOBYN workshop map, where you essentially have to kill an aimbot soldier with random inputs before he kills you, and it really improves your lock on and track consistency. This helps your brain understand what it needs to do, then you just need to introduce different movement speeds and types, at different distances, and you will be able to use it in game. It's not a quick process, but it's MUCH simpler to master than other aim types.
Just the video I needed!! :D
Very informative guide, thank you so much
This has helped my gameplay tremendously. I wish I could have came across this video when I first started playing FPS. Better late than never! Subscribed
Great video! And awesome tracking skills!
Thank you for confirming more of confidence than anything. I like the approach to less aim and more about applying more thought into tracking and techniques. I am more of a Flick based shooter myself and my tracking seems poor in games. but maybe its more about the ideas about where my mouse is going than it is reacting to their movement. Thanks for the advice great video!
What do you mean by "flick based shooter"? One of the most important things people don't understand, in my opinion, is that flicking is essentially what your muscles have learned from consistent tracking, but done at an extreme speed. Meaning you can't develop consistent flicking if you're not practicing track aiming.
@@SlCKNESS_ what I mean is when I shoot I don’t track and shoot my target in a sense. Like I do but my cursor wi float around the head than I’ll do a quick flick and click on the head than go off the head. The best example I can give you is Cassidy from Overwatch because, he is a single shot pistol I flick onto the head with each shot. I’m not constantly tracking the head. Where as soldier 76 I’ll just be tracking the head non stop
I clicked on this video with low expectations, but i gotta say, this is a really good one ! Keep it up !!
That last chapter about minimizing mouse movement might be the most important chapter for myself as an apex player. For the most part I have decent aim but depending on the day, I definitely have those days where for whatever reason I feel like I’m tensing/panicking in most fights and flick back and forth to track than smoothly moving my mouse. I tho k a big part of this might be tied to performance anxiety, where for some reason I always feel like I need to perform well even if I’m just playing with randoms cuz I don’t like feeling like I let them down. But even outside of aiming I feel like I tend to flick around when changing what I’m looking at. I think the focusing on crosshair placement can really help here more than most might think. Ironically I used to actually be very good at keeping this in mind when I mained Cod but because apex movement is so much more unpredictable, I think I kinda lost this tool a bit.
I’ve also recently transitioned to lowering my mouse sense in game by quite a bit. I used to run 1.96 at 750 dpi (28.27cm/360) which I’d learned a few months ago is actually pretty damn high compared to most for apex when I always thought it was on the lower end. Dropped sense all the way down to 1.80 still at 750 dpi (30.79cm/360) and literally in the first match I noticed significant improvement!
Thank you for this information. Thanks a lot❤
Just get a 360hz screen and a 4090 like this guy. EZ
I know someone with everything maxed out and they are still soo bad
I hope you're trolling
@@Rudi-Brudiyou'd be surprised how much latency makes a difference to how well you can aim.
It wouldnt help you unskill...

I have watched hundreds of aim guides till now, and this is THE BEST GUIDE out of all.
They all talk about stupid stuff that don't even actually help aiming but this video,
just right on point. Anyone can aim well instantly as long as they know what to focus on when they are AIMING.
I've wasted so many hours trying to get good and practiced and grided so hard with hardly any results at all.
But as soon as I started to focus on the RIGHT THING when aiming, i instanly started beaming players.
Good job. I wish I watched this video back then :D
Thanks so much, i'm glad you found it helpful.
This works and is great advice for most of the FPS games on the market right now. But this doesn't really work as well for warzone where you are forced into always being in react mode because of randomized aimsway and jitter, they like to call "firing stability" .
This adds a lot of visual noise while youre trying to aim and in the case of aimsway depending on where the pattern is pathing it can force a player to make volitile changes in the speed they move the mouse. One gunfight might be easy . The next more difficult because the aim sway decided to throw a pattern that took you far away from the enemy and they decided to drop shot.
As Struth also mentioned Apex also gives BOTH MnK and controller access to recoil mitigation where warzone only gives controller mitigation against randomized aim sway in the form of rotational aim assist.
Basically if you're a warzone player and you're watching this video to improve your tracking , you will be frustrated because its not going to work in that game the way you see the tips work here , and this is the fault ofthe developers of warzone for ruining MNK on that game. the only people who will be able to consistently track as seen in this video but in warzone, are controller players with aim assist.
If you also look at Overwatch... no aim sway. its only call of duty that really has this garbage mechanic in order to make its aim assist more inherently have an advantage.
You should also make a video discussing ADS sens and its relation to aim. Im specifically talking about how games like Call of Duty and Battlefield use a default ads coefficient of 1.33 and how a lot of people say you should use 0 as the coefficient or 1.78 as the coefficient or just keep it default. Its pretty confusing and hearing an explanation on how it correlates to aim would be interesting.
I have no idea what coefficient does but a few content creators have said keeping it at 100 helps with muscle memory because all others mess with it so I use that. For Battlefield anyway
@@PlayshotKalo The default is 1.33, I've heard content creators say keep it at that, I've heard some say put it to 1.78, I've seen some say put it to 0. But it'd still like to hear what he has to say regarding it.
It's a topic I want to cover soon, still figuring a few things out to best package up the ideas. I personally think 0 coefficient has the most sound reasoning behind it 'focal length scaling', and find that it feels best to me in-game.
you guys are all clueless wtf.. if you want a 1:1 hipfire to ads ratio you just play fucking legacy just like me or the best Mnk in the game *strahfe* gosh its not that hard to figure it out
@@xRealUzz Not that simple. Strahfe uses 1:1 because it perfectly matches hipfire in ADS and is good for close/medium range sights. 1.33/1.78 is worse for close sights but better for weapons with scopes with a higher magnification. It's all personal preference at the end of the day, no need to be rude about it.
This video really did help immediately.
I play a lot XDefiant lately on MnK and i sucked at tecking. I always been a die hard high sense player and always wanted to makw it work. Your vid convinced me due to the not overcomeable disadvantage. I drastically decreased my DPI and sens so now i am from 6/cm to at least 18cm/360 which is a big step for me but tracking really feels more doable now. Still have to get used to so much mouse movement but hey never to late even in my age 😂👍
A Detailed Breakdown of Each Point for Improving Tracking:
1. Consistent Speed:
Core principle: Move your crosshair at the same speed as your target to keep it on them.
Determining speed:
Distance: The further away the target, the slower you need to move your mouse.
Target movement: Running, walking, crouching - all influence aiming speed.
Other factors: Whether the enemy is ADSing, airborne, etc.
Practice:
Train against bots or in the practice range to get a feel for aiming speed at different distances and with various target movements.
In-game, focus on analyzing the situation and choosing the appropriate mouse movement speed.
2. Mouse Sensitivity:
Importance: Too high sensitivity leads to jittery aim and makes precise tracking difficult.
Recommendations:
FPS: 25-50 cm/360
Tactical Shooters: 35-80 cm/360
Tools: Sites like aiming .pro can help determine your current sensitivity.
Tip: Even if your current sensitivity feels comfortable, try lowering it and practicing - you might notice a significant improvement in accuracy.
3. Movement Reading:
Foundation: Predicting target movement to have your crosshair where they will be, not where they were.
How to learn:
Focus: Concentrate on the target to notice details - their gaze direction, leg movement, animations, etc.
Analysis: Consider the enemy's goal (reach cover, attack, retreat) and the environment (walls, obstacles, elevation).
Planning: Visualize the target's trajectory and prepare your mouse movements in advance.
Examples:
An enemy in the open will likely move towards the nearest cover.
An enemy in a narrow corridor is limited by walls when strafing.
Jumps and other actions have predictable trajectories.
4. Player Movement:
Impact: Your movement affects crosshair speed and direction.
Techniques:
Anti-mirror strafing: Move in the opposite direction of the target to compensate for crosshair movement and increase aiming speed.
Mirror strafing: Copy the target's movement to minimize the need for aiming.
Tip: Combine changes in movement direction with changes in mouse movement speed and/or direction.
5. AD Strafing:
Challenge: Rapid changes in direction make tracking difficult.
Approaches:
Reactive: Wait for direction changes and quickly snap your crosshair back onto the target.
Proactive: Predict direction changes and move your crosshair in advance.
How to predict:
Context: Consider the situation (health, position) and the enemy's goal.
Environment: Limited space, cover, etc.
Tip: Practice smooth transitions between aiming directions to avoid jittery aim.
6. Minimizing Mouse Movement:
Goal: Reduce unnecessary movement and increase accuracy.
How to achieve:
Control: Focus on smooth and deliberate movements, avoid jerky flicks.
Positioning: Keep your crosshair at head/chest level, pointed towards where enemies are likely to appear.
Inspiration: Try to mimic the smoothness and precision of controller aiming.
General advice: Observe professional players and analyze their movements to learn effective tracking. Remember, practice and analysis are key to success!

Finally a good video, nice ill try it
Best video you've ever made, saving it for future reference, 5 stars keep it up...
Thank you!
it always felt like my mouse was sinking into the pad but thought nothing of it most times. after watching this video, given i live in a pretty humid environment, and i have a massive case of jumpy tracking, i now realise that my mouse pad is probably affecting my aim alot. thanks, good video👍.
I can't express how much I appreciate this video. It completely changed how I track and aim at targets. Before, every fight felt chaotic and overwhelming. I used to think other players moved impossibly fast, but it was just my own stress and panic. Some players still move erratically (looking at you, Octane), but I've noticed their chaotic movements impair their aim too.
More importantly, this video has greatly improved my enjoyment of the game. I think more clearly during fights and land satisfying shots without overthinking.
I can only play a few hours due to real-world commitments, but thanks to this video, I'm having much more fun playing Apex Legends.
love this breakdown
Legit best aiming video i have seen .
Thank you, much appreciated!
I'll just add from someone playing at 10cm 360 atm that's its completely doable. I'm not a professional or anything but I manage to reach top rank in overwatch, cs etc. But there's probably more potential with lower sens.
really good video!
Zapper the immortal 3 yapper?!?!?! 😱
Nice guide overall, but i think there are two things missing:
1. Corrections mid-tracking (snapping back to target). But you briefly mentioned it.
2. Comes from first: jittery tracking as an actual style of aim.
man thank you so much for the summarized guide to seek better aims. Just want to know whats ur kovvac skin (or theme) cause its very pleasing to the eyes.

Needed this video! Thank you, youtube algorithm.
Should I be looking at my target or my crosshair when aiming
Target for sure, but remember to focus on them, not just look at them.
Crazy, I was literally think hiw i fould impove my predictive aim because my reaction tax was killing my damage output, then this comes out 👌🏾
Very educational video. Thank you. What is your mouse sensitivity?
You should do a video for AD strafing and minimizing mouse movements
Yo thank you for the AD tracking tip! It INSTANTLY solved my jittery tracking when my target (and myself) are doing AD movements. I was overly relying on my reaction time. Thank you man!
Glad it helped!
I feel stronger already 😈
Just hit GM in smooth Voltaic benches, vry happy to fall asleep to this vid in hopes for gr8 aim knowledge
Bro, when I concentrate on the enemy, especially on some part, such as the chest, I lose sight of the crosshair or sight, I just stop seeing it. What to do ? How to avoid it ?
Ik it might sound too simple, but experiment with different crosshair colors. A bright cyan works for me in most games. Depending on the color palette of the game, a pink or bright green have also served me well.
Hey struth, love the content. Quick question, what is your eDPI for apex legends?
Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast
Amazing video.
I use to have a great aim and decent tracking, but my eyesight is declining x).
I tend to play with semi-auto guns now so I can use my "flick-on-flick-off" technique in between shots. Really not efficient but i need to get the reticules of the target area or i can't comprehend what is on screen prolerly 😂.

Would you say that predicting becomes second nature after practicing awhile, or do you always have to hard focus to do it?
Maybe. It depends if you were exposed to the particle accelerator star labs explosion, or not. If so, if you keep practicing running on an hamster wheel you will become supersonic and win the Olympic games, before being able to walk across dimensions. You know, running on a round surface simulates running through dimension because of it's curvature. "add your favorite trolling pseudo science". and there is the recipe for aiming.
@@flowerslead7583 Its ok kid, no one is going to treat you like your high school bully here, you're safe
@@WisdomPowerCourage Thank you for the condescendence, but you can keep it.
I guess you did not predict this either, eh?
Good question, I think the more you practice it and play, the more natural it becomes. For bigger picture predictions (like running up stairs, tracking a jumppad, a jumping enemy etc) it gets very natural and automatic. Trickier stuff like predicting AD strafes isn't as automatic and I usually only find myself doing it when I get a good read. But if I do think about it, I can predict AD strafing much more often and much better.
I haven't actually clocked many hours in FPS games lately, so I think it takes me a bit more thought than if I were playing every day and working on these skills.
Such obvious ideas yet they don't get the attention and specifics they deserve. great video.
Certified classic.

random, what is your usual ping while playing in apex from australia? does australia have a server ? or are you forced to play on other servers?
I haven't checked but usually I would get around 50-80ms. You can be forced to play other servers for ranked to get queues to pop, but that's a population issue.
easiest aim sleeve - take a old long tube sock, cut the very end toes side off and boom, sleeve with a build in elbow bend
hackers : “dats a pretty old method,try our easiest method ever”
what is you dpi and sens in apex and how does your sleeve differ from pulsar's sleave?
Just a note for my apex players: if you are on MnK, if you mirror strafe someone on controller they will destroy you. Try to anti mirror. However, if you’re a controller player, do your best to mirror strafe.
Bro make a video on how the tilting of hands in gripping the mouse affects aim
So i guess Google has upgraded from hearing everything to reading my sensitivity... I used to play 7cm/360 for 10 years including hitting platinum in r6 when it came out and switched to 12 last year. I'm just now trying 15-25cm/360 range and somehow this video mysteriously shows up in recommended 😳
I have played first person shooters for over a decade and have always had very good aim, currently using 11.5cm/360 and have no issues being smooth or consistent with my mouse control. It seems like the sensitivies you suggest rely on arm aiming? but for me that has always felt really uncomfortable.
predicting and focusing on target
You cannot have consistent speed if your gear is not good quality/inconsistent dirty
material or for example slower mousepads... i thing it plays a big role too. I track way better with faster/fresh mousepads than older slower ones.
Even frame inconsistency can mess your tracking
True, although one thing I would add is that perfectly smooth tracking isn't totally necessary. So long as any jitters are small and confined to the hitbox you're aiming at it doesn't really matter. Slower pads and higher tension can lead to choppy looking tracking, but it can still be very accurate.
These tips will be amazing when I get better internet and CPU/Motherboard lol
My issue with sensitivity is I've literally forced myself to be on a "normal" sens for months, and upon going back to my fast sens (17cm/360) I did better.
No matter how long I take to "adjust" for some reason slow (what I deem slow, which is normal, like 30cm/360) feels unnatural and makes me do worse.
Like my aim isn't prefect with my high sens either, sure I over flick or miss shots occassionally but I get more kills and feel more confident.
I haven't heard anyone else having this issue, have any idea what it is and if theirs a fix?
I didn't know these names even existed even though I've been doing it the whole time.
there tricks are all fun and dandy, but did you ever play natural selection 2? i challenge you to track higher lifeforms there :D
I'm using 22.2 cm per 360 on a QcK and viper mini. That is sens 1.17 on 1600 DPI in Quake Champions and fov 120. I zoom/scope a lot with fov 79 without touching the zoom sens multiplier.
I'm so used to these settings that adjusting anything will make me play so much worse that I can't bother trying to lower the sens. In tdm and death match I'm likely top 100 in the world although the player base is pretty small with just around 1000 active players. My biggest issue is that I'm so used to the QcK that I can't go with another pad. And the main issue being the combination of high sensitivity and the pad being affected by humidity.
When the glide is perfect it feels I can beat almost anyone. But on more humid days I'm just average.
I hate having to adjust any of my gear that I'm used to since it's always ten steps back without any certanty that it will lead to any improvement with time.
I used to exclusively buy QcK+ (renamed to QcK Heavy later on, I believe) mousepads, but I got tired of how much slower the pad becomes over time (or just in humid days). Currently using Fnatic JET XL Pro. I have no complaints, except it's not nearly as fast as the internet would have you believe. It's a hybrid pad, not entirely cloth.
I used to play on 1200 DPI and high sens in most games, I was a wrist aimer. After 15 years of being stubborn I switched to 400 DPI and low sens. While I had to learn to WASD properly (apparently I didn't need to at high DPI and sens) it's made me SIGNIFICANTLY more consistent, playing on low DPI and sens. More importantly I now have situations where it doesn't even feel like I'm moving my hand and I'm tracking someone perfectly. Back in my "high sens" days I 'd never experienced that, even in days where I felt like I could never miss a shot. The effort I had to put into being precise was a lot more.
Also, the higher your sens/DPI the more you're gonna feel the slow down of your mousepad. This is not a joke. I was recently experimenting with high sens (not in a shooter), this was before I bought my Fnatic JET XL Pro mousepad, so my old mousepad who was old and slow, and I felt the slow much much more on the higher sens.
P.S: As a reference, now that I'm a proper "arm aimer" (incorrect term, you still use a lot of wrist) I'm using 41.5636 cm/360. 400 DPI at 2.5 in-game sens in Apex. And unlike most players I use 90 FOV exclusively (unless the game does not allow for it), because it's a faster sens, compared to 120 FOV. It also allows you to see further, which is important in some of the shooters I play (Hunt Showdown, mainly).
When tracking targets in a CQC, if I run out of mousepad space mid track, what do I do? Also, when there's a lot of verticality involved, I notice my arms dangling off during my tracking, what do I do in this instance? I've been forcing myself to reset my resting position every so often but during tracking I'd have to momentarily pause, reset and then continue shooting which is annoying. Sometimes I would try flicking ahead, reset my position and then continue tracking but I'm quite poor at that. Any tips?
A quick reset, or prepping your hand if you know a large tracking moving is about to begin is about all you can do. For example. If someone is about to hop on a zipline moving to your right, you can move your mouse to the left side of your mousepad to begin the long track.
Another example would be if you're fighting CQC with someone who is playing off cover (they have a corner to the right side of your screen), you can have your mouse positioned toward the right side of your pad anticipating tracking from the wall out to the left (you can't hit them through the wall, so the mousepad space that would aim at the corner and beyond isn't needed).
Running out of space and having to do quick resets is one of the tradeoffs of playing on lower sensitivities. You can always use a larger mousepad if possible to reduce how often it becomes a problem.

chapter 2 is for real, but the issues discussed also include my own movement :(. On tracer in OW for example my *own* movement being unpredictable (autopilot) causes my aim to be jittery
