I have a bad cold and probable strep throat. Sorry for the voice quality. I would like to thank you for your support and I hope at least one of these tips can help. Let's talk about it and if you have any tips, please share.
Informative vid as usual. love ACE but i been encountering issues with it, which is momento mori deactivates when I cancel a reload. Im I the only one?!
Cool guy as an older gamer playing a young mans game I try to research and get all the tips and tricks I can to compete. The how to improve your KD series is nothing short of a masterpiece and should be used as a guideline for the crucible. Well done sir..well done. Hopefully you get the recognition for this , which you so.rightly deserve.
Same here. I got lots of mileage from his video about cover in D1, knowing the strong side based on the way the character is animated, etc. Very good stuff. This was a great video done in a careful, effective expository style. I'll probably watch it several times.
This is why coolguy is head and shoulders above other UA-camrs. Watching his videos is like getting a college degree in target acquisition. None of this “come on you just gotta get better it’s not hard” crap that some people call good advice. Some people need a detailed breakdown to get better. 10/10
I totally agree because knowing all of the nuances of aiming, you can then see better what you are doing in comparison to the advice and thus know where you need to improve.
He really is. While most other content creators put their faces in the video and revel in how they slay people with 50 to 60 kills laughing all the way.......that get old. CoolGuy is a professional content creator for the rest of us.
Playing with gamepad on PC, I really dont know but I am in 90% of the game first place on kills in my team. But still hate that difference between gamepad and mouse, gamepad is per se handicaped and Bungie keeps kicking no ADS, Scoped sensivity difference, recoil on handcanons just ripped if you compare to mouse.
Just want to say, you rock man. I never could figure out what I was doing wrong haha. After watching your first video, I went into competitive mode and did not die (for once) three matches in a row. I happened upon a good team so I only got 6 kills per match (total, not each round) but I finally figured out that I was playing to aggressive. I took my time, used cover, and patiently fought the urge to jump out and engage and it really paid off. I even busted out the ol' Uriel's Gift and was taking people down haha. I bet they were super mad to see that bad boy come back. Great stuff man! Definitely a subscriber to this channel.
This is a really good series so far. Very educational, ver respectful towards the individuals that may not know everything there is to settings and most of all, no bullshit " just git gud" stuff. There's plenty of helpful tutorials around on this topic, but this video definitly stands out fairly well. I hope this video series reaches out people outside of the destiny spectrum. That being said, I would like to add one minor thing that needs to be mentioned: When learning how to aim, use different weapons during that practice process! Especially in a game like Destiny, you do have aim assist on console and Bungie was so creative to give various weapons different levels of aim assistance ( a feature I find highly interesting in a positive way if you asked me). Swap between different weapons as some of that practice that you have can be affected by the weapon itself. In some other games you can find bullet magnetism to be relativly strong. Something that helps compensating aim amongst other things. If you can be consistent with any weapon, thats where you aim truely begin shine.
I've been trying for we rans forever but I didn't get any until I stopped trying and just played smart. I got my first two in two days last week one in comp and the other in quick play. One load out was kindled Orchid and militias birthright. The other was last word and twilight oath. Just goes to show its how you play not what you play with. Keep going guys you can do it.
"It's how you play, not what you play with". This is HUGE. Everyone whines about meta, but the reality is, you can destroy meta players by being smart. (Unless a really good player is using the meta and is playing just as smart as you...then it's rough.)
I started on the third video and went back to the first and second vids. These three vids. have been the most helpful videos toward all out aspects of video game gunplay. Thank you for all the time you invested in them as they have been most helpful.
Best UA-camr hands down , info precise an easy to absorb. Hard to compete with an partner with these younger guys when your over 70. You’ve improved my game considerably, thanks.
These guides are really good and i came really close to getting a wrom the other day after following your tips. But the thing that I and many other people need the most is positioning help and decision making. Thanks
These guides are truly amazing. Great production and organization. I am an older gamer really new to FPS and I have been watching these over and over and have actually done some practice sessions as you recommended in addition to working with all of the settings and the difference is unbelievable. Thank you for these!! 👍
I watch all your videos but with only just 2 mins in I can tell this one is special and all the time you put into it will be worth it for a HUGE percentage of the community, I'm sure. Thanks for what you do!
Thanks friend. I remember your old video about “finding your sensitivity “ under shooting over shooting so I watched my recorded gameplay it was very easy to find my sensitivity of 3. I think you said “ your correct sensitivity it what your most deadly with” great stuff.
I actually just changed my sensitivity because I couldn't get past that last mission for TLW quest. I lowered it because I noticed I was over aiming and I haven't changed it back and I find myself getting into better gunfights, especially with my trust.
Thanks! Love your content. Your delivery and ability to articulate is the best in the community. Keep up the wonderful work. Following some of your simple tips has improved my game drastically. Thank you!
So it was actually you on my team yesterday, that's awesome. It was an honor playing with you. Also 130 gold medals in crucible, you're absolutely nuts.
This was a fantastic tutorial. I play on PC but many of the principles are the same. I've been trying to train my self with focused reps and I stumbled on some of your suggestions myself by trial and error. Sensitivity: For PC users, I would say set the sensitivity to be as high as you can handle. By that I mean, you want to be able to acquire the target as quickly as possible without overshooting, just like coolguy said. Practice higher settings and you'll eventually find that perfect balance of speed and precision. I found out via trial and error I actually was doing poorly because I had my sensitivity on way too low. Target Acquisition: Again, I came upon this via trial and error. I was trying to aim too much with my mouse and that results in wrist fatigue and "tightening up". If your mousing wrist is tight, it becomes difficult to snipe with snipers or hand cannons. Get the reticle in the right neighborhood and strafe to make that final quick adjustment. This is especially effective if the target is in motion. Pre-Aiming: I couldn't agree more with this tip. I wasn't doing this and my enemies were getting the first shot off on me and I didn't know why. Then I thought about it. You want to reduce the amount of target acquisition time as much as possible. If you can anticipate your opponents' movements, then you can put the reticle near where you think critical will be when he appears. After doing this for a while, I found that my mind would enter a weird "zone" where anticipation became increasingly easier and my reaction times seemed to improve. Aiming: I like to recall the old arcade game "Missile Command" to explain the act of aiming in FPS. People think of the mouse as being able to easily and instantly get the cursor to the target, but that is not the case. There is travel time involved, and it has everything to do with your reaction times and mouse sensitivity settings. You want to intersect your mouse cursor with where the target WILL BE, and not where it is right now. That's the key to sniping. You have to be able to gauge the relative speed of your mouse movement to the target's apparent screen velocity, and move your crosshairs to the interception point, NOT the current position of your target's head. Again, use strafing to make fine adjustments on the critical plane as coolguy said. After I started practicing these things, my KD with a hand cannon and sniper rifle started rising. I'm still losing hand cannon duels against really good players but I am closing the gap as I practice. I'm a pretty old guy and I know they have advantages in reaction time but practice and anticipation can make up for a lot of it.
Can 100% agree on the intercept point with snipers. Started practicing big time when TLW dropped, and recently got a good roll FCF to work with. Over time I've gotten much better at anticipating motion rather than trying to flick to the head like many think it is. Also found out that airborne targets are by far the easiest to pick up clean snipes on!
I've heard the opposite: use the lowest sensitivity you can tolerate. also, I feel that good pc players, when they get into aim battles, don't use "left stick aiming" due to accuracy penalties while moving and no aim assist. they stop in their tracks and get the kill. that might just be for BF4, and I think its really personal preference if you want to get good. if you want to be top tier you've got to emulate the pros
@@berengerchristy6256 These are fair points. I'm not a pro by any stretch of the imagination, so I admit I might be doing it wrong. As far as using low sensitivity, I found that I have a tendency at low sensitivity to "chase the target" and my bullets are following their movement instead of anticipating it. It's like those movies where a guy runs across an open area in a gunfight but the bullets can't seem to catch up to him. When I cranked up my sensitivity, I was able to beat them to cover. I have found that in hand cannon duels, which happen at ranges where it's not hard to get headshots, if you stand still to secure the kill you are very likely to die instantly. A good player with Luna's Howl can 3 tap me in less time than any weapon I have. I have no choice but to strafe to increase my chances. If they miss one of their 2 opening headshots, they won't proc Magnificent Howl. Crouching and sliding can help too. The point is, as I gained Glory I found that in Comp matches it became more and more necessary to move around constantly. Standing still was a sure recipe for repeated death. Your mileage may vary, these are just things that worked for me on my PC. I encourage everyone to train the skills that make *them* better and find the control configuration that they are most comfortable with. Only by being willing to experiment will you discover what you're doing incorrectly.
yeah, I think in D2 there is no accuracy penalty for strafing while ads. in BF4 there is. if I switch to mouse and keyboard I just can't drop the left "stick aiming" with wasd, so I just became a vehicle whore in BF4. in destiny I prefer lower sensitivity as I tend to smash my sticks all the way to the left or right while aiming you're right about luna's howl: I got it last night and its nasty. totally attainable by an average solo player. imo I'm above average at best. not forgotten on the other hand...nope
this series really helped me, at first i didn't realize how good i was getting till one day on my twitch stream a lot of the comments while playing was well wow ur a god and also you have improved a lot i play on ps4 witch right now lord of wolves op well i out played it by 1 hitting shots witch really helped me and he helped me with this all in all thanks COOL GUY!!!!!!
Awesome video, as always! “Best” might be a matter preference but you definitely get through to me the most of all the d2 UA-camrs. Thanks for all the well researched and thought-out advice and information.
Thanks for another awesome video :) Can confirm that most tips work perfectly fine on PC. - Horizontal aiming with WASD is easier and much safer than free hand aiming (Keys pretty much are like a D-pad, so you are usually running in straight lines). Strafing is also dodging and makes you a harder target to hit - Sensitivity is more personal than practical, since you can flick your aim anyways with MK (on console, I usually use a pretty high sensitivity since it is the only way to turn quickly too; which is important when jumping over/ behind enemies and having to turn a lot) I guess the only true way to improve is having a setup that is comfortable and to keep practicing your shots.
Thanks for this series dude and all your other videos too. They have really helped me take my PvP game up a notch... Doesn't seem like much but to me it's a lot.
Something that always works for me to improve my aim is to play some warum up games with weapons were you really need to be precise and that are kind of hard to play with. For example some handcannons with not that much aim assist but lots of recoil like the Duke mk44, or auto rifles like the Suros Regime were you have to consistently hit consecutive headshots to make it perform good in this current meta or a sniper rifles. When i play a few games with some of those weapons to warm up it really feels like i get an aim bot after a while when i switch back to my Lunas Howl or Trust, those 180rpm handcannons always feel so extremely easy to aim and land headshots to me when i warm up with those harder to use precision weapons.
Thanks CoolGuy, I must say that my pvp gameplay significantly improved because of you. I always recommend your channel to my folks in the fb grouls. Keep em coming!
So as a guy just turning 37 today I am taking what i learned in this video and applying it... Needless to say your tips have helped.. I knew some of it but being on PC It is a tad different but none the less this helped out a lot!!!!! TY!
I probably skipped over this one when you first uploaded it, because... pride? But I've found myself really envious of your Ace shot on console lately, which brought me back here. Really fantastic video. I find myself playing pvp just for fun, but I really do want to get better. I came away from this with plenty of things to think about and improve upon while I'm playing now.
Great pointers. I always do a PvE “warmup” before going into crucible. It gets the juices flowing, especially if I’m sniping and using a hand cannon. One of the biggest things that helped me back in D1 was realizing that the crosshairs are slightly below the center of your screen. I took some tape and made a very small dot so I could get used to the position and then removed it after a month or so.
Brilliant. Part 1 slowed me down. And I performed so much better. And even enjoyed the game more!!! Magic. Thank you. 👍🏼 and I know what I need to do to improve further.
If you can’t find your sensitivity pick a sens in the middle (5) and pay attention to if you are over and under aiming change up or down by 1 and repeat until you find your perfect sens ( play for at least 2-3 hours with each change and don’t get pissed off and keep changing every 10 min cause you won’t build any muscle memory ) Also dont think you need a high sens to be good or to use shotgun efficiently cause you really don’t
Man that’s good stuff. Watching this I realized that I don’t use the left stick correctly. Truthfully I get excited and can’t aim . That was a great exercise for P v E . I am going to save this . Thanks for the great videos
Another tip I’d have for people is to never stop learning, never have an ego. Keep seeking for information and watching videos like this that seem to be fundamental to me. Because even the best of the best have laps in judgement.
Another great one bud, these have been helping me a lot. I have been actively working on becoming a better player and working on deficiencies and it is definitely working. The only other thing I would add and I am doing this is practicing target acquisition from different levels to be unpredictable. ie crouching, sliding and jumping while maintaining headshot level. Keep it up bud and I’d love to play with you one day. I’m on Xbox as Enemyofyourstat if you play Xbox.
Best youtuber out there, best usable content to chew through by far. Cool Guy I do have a question on how you use TLW on console as it's a different animal to other HCs
Great vid and very informative. I always have trouble aiming for the head which sucks as I mainly like hand cannons. The point of reaqquiring your target when they are in cover and not constantly ads is the first one I will start applying to my gameplay.
good video man, comprehensive digging this ! one thing i also like to think of it as tennis or squash, as in you have forehand shot & backhand shots I realised my aiming was weak snapping from left to right (backhand) so started doing that tracking with predominantly backhand shots (snapping left to right)
Thank you man! Brain thought: you always end on “And until the next one, I am CoolGuy.” Does that mean that you are temporarily not CoolGuy during the period between the start of the video and the outro?
Hey CG I appreciate your vids . I am an older player who never played pvp until D1 . So it has taken me awhile to get a little bit above the average player . Your tips are very informative Thank you from a old player who is learning new tips n tricks . I sometimes have a hard time using hand cannons since the recent nerf to them . I will be playing the IB today n I will keep in mind the tips from your vid.
Amazing as always, CG. I did just want to take some time and say Thank You for not saying "You should try to use something around head level" for aiming. A lot of times players are mobile and there are various changes in elevation of the terrain, so imo picking stuff that is intentionally not head level to get your retical on is just as important to me. Vex and Fallen have very different crit spots so helps me practice a decent sniper aim vs a decent shotgun aim
I think so too man. It's not necessarily bad advice to aim at head level. The part that gets left out and is the most important is the terrain. Head level to the environment. It's not always "clean" when you say head level. Most of the time it is not
@@CoolGuyGames Wow acknowledged by the pvp datto himself! @_@ Yeah, I agree! It's never been bad advice to me, just not as...complete? If that makes sense. It helps train a part of your reaction and map knowledge to me more than your actual aim. Yours is just more solid, man! People dodge, jump, and slide all the time, on top of elevation changes. Your tip videos are always great, really in depth, and have helped me a lot!
this video was awesome, i was pretty sure as Coolguy explained these things, but it made me aware of the details, so that maybe if i am not doing some these i can pick up on them and get better :D Thanks, Love you vids
Coolguy I just want to say thank you for your help vids. You have helped me in becoming a decent player and got my first we ran thanks to you. Cheers mate
The sensitivity setting might be obvious to some but I totally took it for granted. I had been playing on console at 6 then bumped it to 8 a couple of months ago. I have been habitually over-aiming. Today, after watching this video, I'm resetting it to 5. Thanks, CG.
Great vid bro. You put into words and practice methods, things that I have noticed sub consciously and felt in gun fights. I especially like the ideas of practicing in pVe. Keeps me calm when learning, less opportunities for choking:)
Appreciated that you helping out here it really improved my sniping flick sniping correction sniping love it sometimes left me astounded from some kills lol
Great Video CoolGuy, been watch your tip videos since Fall 2017; about the time we started with Destiny 2 with a KD of .96, now its below .80 :-( Tips are great especially for PVE content, I've become a better and efficient player. When it comes to PVP Crucible & Gambit matches, I have mixed results. Your tips are sound, I believe it's the game servers and the lack of match making/balancing. (It's not the path to the Server nor connectivity, I have solid +1GBs up and down.) Being in matches head to head with 4 critical hits in my opponent and still lose with a touch of a melee or single bullet. Or being in a group of 5 team mates shooting the same opponent and still get smoked (and I was close to cover and they were in the open). Found for a while now the Crucible game play is unfair from my point of view, spawn kills, getting shot while under cover/walls and even to the point I get denied kills of my opponent, if their fellow team mates time it perfectly to kill me first before the damage referee calls it a draw between my opponent and me. I started the "Word" Quest from the Drifer in the tower, yeah getting 60 kills in Crucible without dying that ant't happening anytime soon. I'm lucky now days to get 5 kills and a metal. Hahahaha Here's hoping the Xur has it later in the season :-) For your cold try this Super Tea. INGREDIENTS: 1 glass of warm or hot water (12-16 oz.) 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 dash cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon raw, local honey (optional) DIRECTIONS: 1. Warm the water. 2. Mix all ingredients together. 3. Best served warm but drink at desired temperature. Looking forward to your next video CoolGuy. All the best.
This is amazing! Please continue making more video about improving in pvp. I'm trying to main a nightstalker hunter using chaperone and lunas in pvp and would gladly take any sort of tips for improving ones aim on the chaperone.
I used to play on a 3 for most of d1, I did pretty decent. I remember one match I was slaying while playing with a couple friends. Somehow the topic of sensitivity came up, they all used between 8-10. So the next match we did a “challenge” where everyone played on 10, mostly to show me how slow 3 actually was. I wanted to increase my sensitivity and gradually raised it after I got comfortable. I ended d1 and started d2 playing on a 5. I came back to d2 in season 3 and gradually raised my sensitivity to 7. 7 is definitely my sweet spot.
I'm in the same boat I've always played on a 3 and I'm good pve but since doing more pvp I'm up to 5 and it feels better that slow turn on a 3 is a killer
Hey CoolGuy, thanks for the tips, and also I saw you using the Ace of Spades HC, so I thought I give it a try in the Crucible and I love the gun now, before I was only using it in the PvE activities, so thank you😊
Great video. I've heard the same advice for ever now from guys like u and other destiny content providers. That's because it is 100 percent (I refuse to use that stupid emoji) accurate. Sure it feels like I could do the same video bcuz I've heard so many vids that r almost identical to one another, key word being "almost". I personally feel that it's good to hear it from more then one content maker bcuz the lesson is the same but the presentation is not and sometimes u hear something said differently and all the sudden it makes sense. Thanks again.
The keeping your sights open bit is definitely something I am not consciously doing, but I'd like to think that I still am doing it. I will keep my eyes open about it! I should really get back to recording my gameplay and watching where my mistakes actually are.
This game was a disturbing rude awakening for me. I thought that because I have a 3 KD in the MCC I would perform well on this one. I’m sitting on a miserable 1.29 LOL. Anyway I appreciate these vids. They’ve been very helpful. I noticed you were reflecting shots with the arc super. I’ve got no idea how to do that, but I’m certain I’ll find out as I keep watching. Thanks again for your time and efforts in putting this series together.
i think the hardest part with aiming is the mental game, i think a lot of people have the muscle memory and the skills to hit their shots but when they go into pvp they fall to pieces. it was my biggest issue for the longest time.
its due to the fact you can take your time with the shot, and know you will hit, in pvp there connection issues, and fear being killed before getting the kill mess with players the most
Best way to find your sensitivity is to do a 360. Start with the lowest and keep doing the 360. Stop at the point you start. Keep upping the sensitivity till you can't stop consistently where you started. Worked for my friends and I.
A while back one of my friends and I had a discussion which he didn't see the why I was pleased with how many kills and precision kills I was getting I'm strikes and nightfalls. The point I made to him was that it refines your fundamental skill with your guns and I have no doubt that ties to my success in crucible, but I still feel like I can benefit from this keep up the good work
I have a bad cold and probable strep throat. Sorry for the voice quality. I would like to thank you for your support and I hope at least one of these tips can help. Let's talk about it and if you have any tips, please share.
Hope you get well soon. Don't worry about it. Video and sound quality is still awesome - and the guide is 5*.
@MrPooFlaps I have to agree with you. Also love Aztecross' and FalloutPlays'.
Informative vid as usual. love ACE but i been encountering issues with it, which is momento mori deactivates when I cancel a reload. Im I the only one?!
Great video! I’m a 3.0+ KDA and this is the first guide I’ve watched where I found something I can actively try and improve upon.
Thank you so much for this vid bro, get well soon.
Cool guy as an older gamer playing a young mans game I try to research and get all the tips and tricks I can to compete.

Hopefully you get the recognition for this , which you so.rightly deserve.
I really appreciative that vango
Vango, as a fellow older gamer, you took the words right outta' my mouth. And CoolGuy? Bravo, sir. Bravo.

Cool guy great video. Most of us older guys were playing pong. Then Atari. Lol great tips thanks
This is why coolguy is head and shoulders above other UA-camrs. Watching his videos is like getting a college degree in target acquisition. None of this “come on you just gotta get better it’s not hard” crap that some people call good advice. Some people need a detailed breakdown to get better. 10/10

Totally agree with this statement 👍👍

Great advice CoolGuy especially about breaking bad habits and taking in as much info as possible to learn what works best for the individual!!
hey its you
@@wreckingball6600 Hey Ryan, whats gong on mate brotha :D?
Deicyide like dodging
Glad to catch your videos too Deicyide!
This is why we need to start a petition for ads sensitivity (aim down sights) and free aim sensitivity
Z e r ø it’s so annoying like pc players have it
Playing with gamepad on PC, I really dont know but I am in 90% of the game first place on kills in my team. But still hate that difference between gamepad and mouse, gamepad is per se handicaped and Bungie keeps kicking no ADS, Scoped sensivity difference, recoil on handcanons just ripped if you compare to mouse.
Just want to say, you rock man. I never could figure out what I was doing wrong haha. After watching your first video, I went into competitive mode and did not die (for once) three matches in a row. I happened upon a good team so I only got 6 kills per match (total, not each round) but I finally figured out that I was playing to aggressive. I took my time, used cover, and patiently fought the urge to jump out and engage and it really paid off. I even busted out the ol' Uriel's Gift and was taking people down haha. I bet they were super mad to see that bad boy come back. Great stuff man! Definitely a subscriber to this channel.
This was really interesting. The active aiming section was eye opening for me in its simplicity and had a huge impact in my game play. Thank you.
This is a really good series so far. Very educational, ver respectful towards the individuals that may not know everything there is to settings and most of all, no bullshit " just git gud" stuff. There's plenty of helpful tutorials around on this topic, but this video definitly stands out fairly well. I hope this video series reaches out people outside of the destiny spectrum.
That being said, I would like to add one minor thing that needs to be mentioned: When learning how to aim, use different weapons during that practice process! Especially in a game like Destiny, you do have aim assist on console and Bungie was so creative to give various weapons different levels of aim assistance ( a feature I find highly interesting in a positive way if you asked me). Swap between different weapons as some of that practice that you have can be affected by the weapon itself. In some other games you can find bullet magnetism to be relativly strong. Something that helps compensating aim amongst other things.
If you can be consistent with any weapon, thats where you aim truely begin shine.
I've been trying for we rans forever but I didn't get any until I stopped trying and just played smart. I got my first two in two days last week one in comp and the other in quick play.

Thank you for these!! 👍
Great instructional vid CoolGuy. Your calm & “cool” delivery rocks, as always. 👌🏽😎

One of the best videos I've seen on how to get better at PVP if not the best!

Target Acquisition: Again, I came upon this via trial and error. I was trying to aim too much with my mouse and that results in wrist fatigue and "tightening up". If your mousing wrist is tight, it becomes difficult to snipe with snipers or hand cannons. Get the reticle in the right neighborhood and strafe to make that final quick adjustment. This is especially effective if the target is in motion.
Pre-Aiming: I couldn't agree more with this tip. I wasn't doing this and my enemies were getting the first shot off on me and I didn't know why. Then I thought about it. You want to reduce the amount of target acquisition time as much as possible. If you can anticipate your opponents' movements, then you can put the reticle near where you think critical will be when he appears. After doing this for a while, I found that my mind would enter a weird "zone" where anticipation became increasingly easier and my reaction times seemed to improve.
Aiming: I like to recall the old arcade game "Missile Command" to explain the act of aiming in FPS. People think of the mouse as being able to easily and instantly get the cursor to the target, but that is not the case. There is travel time involved, and it has everything to do with your reaction times and mouse sensitivity settings. You want to intersect your mouse cursor with where the target WILL BE, and not where it is right now. That's the key to sniping. You have to be able to gauge the relative speed of your mouse movement to the target's apparent screen velocity, and move your crosshairs to the interception point, NOT the current position of your target's head. Again, use strafing to make fine adjustments on the critical plane as coolguy said.
After I started practicing these things, my KD with a hand cannon and sniper rifle started rising. I'm still losing hand cannon duels against really good players but I am closing the gap as I practice. I'm a pretty old guy and I know they have advantages in reaction time but practice and anticipation can make up for a lot of it.
Can 100% agree on the intercept point with snipers. Started practicing big time when TLW dropped, and recently got a good roll FCF to work with. Over time I've gotten much better at anticipating motion rather than trying to flick to the head like many think it is. Also found out that airborne targets are by far the easiest to pick up clean snipes on!
Qichar amazing comment on an amazing video, thank you both.
I've heard the opposite: use the lowest sensitivity you can tolerate. also, I feel that good pc players, when they get into aim battles, don't use "left stick aiming" due to accuracy penalties while moving and no aim assist. they stop in their tracks and get the kill. that might just be for BF4, and I think its really personal preference if you want to get good. if you want to be top tier you've got to emulate the pros
@@berengerchristy6256 These are fair points. I'm not a pro by any stretch of the imagination, so I admit I might be doing it wrong.
As far as using low sensitivity, I found that I have a tendency at low sensitivity to "chase the target" and my bullets are following their movement instead of anticipating it. It's like those movies where a guy runs across an open area in a gunfight but the bullets can't seem to catch up to him. When I cranked up my sensitivity, I was able to beat them to cover.
I have found that in hand cannon duels, which happen at ranges where it's not hard to get headshots, if you stand still to secure the kill you are very likely to die instantly. A good player with Luna's Howl can 3 tap me in less time than any weapon I have. I have no choice but to strafe to increase my chances. If they miss one of their 2 opening headshots, they won't proc Magnificent Howl. Crouching and sliding can help too. The point is, as I gained Glory I found that in Comp matches it became more and more necessary to move around constantly. Standing still was a sure recipe for repeated death.
Your mileage may vary, these are just things that worked for me on my PC. I encourage everyone to train the skills that make *them* better and find the control configuration that they are most comfortable with. Only by being willing to experiment will you discover what you're doing incorrectly.
yeah, I think in D2 there is no accuracy penalty for strafing while ads. in BF4 there is. if I switch to mouse and keyboard I just can't drop the left "stick aiming" with wasd, so I just became a vehicle whore in BF4. in destiny I prefer lower sensitivity as I tend to smash my sticks all the way to the left or right while aiming
you're right about luna's howl: I got it last night and its nasty. totally attainable by an average solo player. imo I'm above average at best. not forgotten on the other hand...nope
This is a nicely thought out guide with easy to understand advice and good visuals. Great work!
The ads vs open view tip kinda blew my mind...thanks man
Thanks coolguy. Your videos are always so put together and you make the average scrub like me not feel stupid. Well done as always!
Lol school is cancelled today so I have the whole day to watch CoolGuy videos! Keep up the great work CoolGuy!
this series really helped me, at first i didn't realize how good i was getting till one day on my twitch stream a lot of the comments while playing was well wow ur a god and also you have improved a lot i play on ps4 witch right now lord of wolves op well i out played it by 1 hitting shots witch really helped me and he helped me with this all in all thanks COOL GUY!!!!!!
Awesome video, as always! “Best” might be a matter preference but you definitely get through to me the most of all the d2 UA-camrs. Thanks for all the well researched and thought-out advice and information.
Thanks for another awesome video :)
Can confirm that most tips work perfectly fine on PC.
- Horizontal aiming with WASD is easier and much safer than free hand aiming (Keys pretty much are like a D-pad, so you are usually running in straight lines). Strafing is also dodging and makes you a harder target to hit
- Sensitivity is more personal than practical, since you can flick your aim anyways with MK
(on console, I usually use a pretty high sensitivity since it is the only way to turn quickly too; which is important when jumping over/ behind enemies and having to turn a lot)
I guess the only true way to improve is having a setup that is comfortable and to keep practicing your shots.
Your content is absolutely 5 star dude... Keep up the awesome work!
These tips were actually pretty enlightening. I'll try to incorporate them into my gameplay sooner or later.
Great video CoolGuy! I really appreciate you breaking down the aiming especially with that Taken in PVE to show us what it looks like.
Thanks for this series dude and all your other videos too. They have really helped me take my PvP game up a notch...
Doesn't seem like much but to me it's a lot.
These would most surely help me I just am not good at the game, and I just love your channel and hope you see this.
My KD just improved just by watching this video. I can already see things I'm doing wrong. Good video keep up the great work.
I really appreciate when you post these tutorials for those of us who want to get good.
Something that always works for me to improve my aim is to play some warum up games with weapons were you really need to be precise and that are kind of hard to play with. For example some handcannons with not that much aim assist but lots of recoil like the Duke mk44, or auto rifles like the Suros Regime were you have to consistently hit consecutive headshots to make it perform good in this current meta or a sniper rifles. When i play a few games with some of those weapons to warm up it really feels like i get an aim bot after a while when i switch back to my Lunas Howl or Trust, those 180rpm handcannons always feel so extremely easy to aim and land headshots to me when i warm up with those harder to use precision weapons.
Very useful tips.
Switching off vibration on the controller helps loads as well 😊
Thanks CoolGuy, I must say that my pvp gameplay significantly improved because of you. I always recommend your channel to my folks in the fb grouls. Keep em coming!
Thanks for all the tips, mate. I have been getting better at PvP since your Part 1 guide.
So as a guy just turning 37 today I am taking what i learned in this video and applying it... Needless to say your tips have helped.. I knew some of it but being on PC It is a tad different but none the less this helped out a lot!!!!! TY!
I probably skipped over this one when you first uploaded it, because... pride? But I've found myself really envious of your Ace shot on console lately, which brought me back here. Really fantastic video. I find myself playing pvp just for fun, but I really do want to get better. I came away from this with plenty of things to think about and improve upon while I'm playing now.
Great pointers. I always do a PvE “warmup” before going into crucible. It gets the juices flowing, especially if I’m sniping and using a hand cannon. One of the biggest things that helped me back in D1 was realizing that the crosshairs are slightly below the center of your screen. I took some tape and made a very small dot so I could get used to the position and then removed it after a month or so.
Brilliant. Part 1 slowed me down. And I performed so much better. And even enjoyed the game more!!! Magic. Thank you. 👍🏼 and I know what I need to do to improve further.
If you can’t find your sensitivity pick a sens in the middle (5) and pay attention to if you are over and under aiming change up or down by 1 and repeat until you find your perfect sens ( play for at least 2-3 hours with each change and don’t get pissed off and keep changing every 10 min cause you won’t build any muscle memory )
Also dont think you need a high sens to be good or to use shotgun efficiently cause you really don’t
Man that’s good stuff. Watching this I realized that I don’t use the left stick correctly. Truthfully I get excited and can’t aim . That was a great exercise for P v E . I am going to save this . Thanks for the great videos
Very insightful, well put. Thank you for conveying these items plainly.
Another tip I’d have for people is to never stop learning, never have an ego. Keep seeking for information and watching videos like this that seem to be fundamental to me. Because even the best of the best have laps in judgement.
Another great one bud, these have been helping me a lot. I have been actively working on becoming a better player and working on deficiencies and it is definitely working. The only other thing I would add and I am doing this is practicing target acquisition from different levels to be unpredictable. ie crouching, sliding and jumping while maintaining headshot level. Keep it up bud and I’d love to play with you one day. I’m on Xbox as Enemyofyourstat if you play Xbox.
Best youtuber out there, best usable content to chew through by far. Cool Guy I do have a question on how you use TLW on console as it's a different animal to other HCs
I'm thinking about doing a live gameplay later in the week with it
A really great series, sir! I picked up some tips and have found ways to improve my game. Thank you!
You are awesome with these videos, great tips! I’m definitely gonna put em to use!
Great vid and very informative. I always have trouble aiming for the head which sucks as I mainly like hand cannons. The point of reaqquiring your target when they are in cover and not constantly ads is the first one I will start applying to my gameplay.
I am one of those who improve the game of others because I am always in the wrong place in the perfect moment to receive a shot. Great video.
good video man, comprehensive digging this ! one thing i also like to think of it as tennis or squash, as in you have forehand shot & backhand shots I realised my aiming was weak snapping from left to right (backhand) so started doing that tracking with predominantly backhand shots (snapping left to right)
Thanks for the new patch coolguy it helps lots of people,keep up the great work you do.
Thank you man!
Brain thought: you always end on “And until the next one, I am CoolGuy.” Does that mean that you are temporarily not CoolGuy during the period between the start of the video and the outro?
Just speculation but I believe he's batman between vids.
Between vids, he's just "Im Regular Guy
No, he is.....BestGuy~😎

@@carazy123_ lmfao I'm even wearing the full Russian armor rn too! Bungie please give us a squat kick dance! 😂😂
Fantastic guide video, I will enjoy making the conscious effort to implement these tips in my game!
This is how cool guy explains aiming. Thank you bud . Was helpful , I'm on console .
Thanks for these videos. It helps to think of these fundamentals after years of just winging it.
Thank you so much for breaking down sensitivity CoolGuy. I’ve never known what’s best for me and can’t wait to try this tonight after work
Hey CG I appreciate your vids . I am an older player who never played pvp until D1 . So it has taken me awhile to get a little bit above the average player . Your tips are very informative Thank you from a old player who is learning new tips n tricks . I sometimes have a hard time using hand cannons since the recent nerf to them . I will be playing the IB today n I will keep in mind the tips from your vid.
Amazing as always, CG. I did just want to take some time and say Thank You for not saying "You should try to use something around head level" for aiming. A lot of times players are mobile and there are various changes in elevation of the terrain, so imo picking stuff that is intentionally not head level to get your retical on is just as important to me. Vex and Fallen have very different crit spots so helps me practice a decent sniper aim vs a decent shotgun aim
I think so too man. It's not necessarily bad advice to aim at head level. The part that gets left out and is the most important is the terrain. Head level to the environment. It's not always "clean" when you say head level. Most of the time it is not
@@CoolGuyGames Wow acknowledged by the pvp datto himself! @_@
Yeah, I agree! It's never been bad advice to me, just not as...complete? If that makes sense. It helps train a part of your reaction and map knowledge to me more than your actual aim. Yours is just more solid, man! People dodge, jump, and slide all the time, on top of elevation changes. Your tip videos are always great, really in depth, and have helped me a lot!
this video was awesome, i was pretty sure as Coolguy explained these things, but it made me aware of the details, so that maybe if i am not doing some these i can pick up on them and get better :D
Thanks, Love you vids
Your guides are consistently excellent, thank you!
Honestly didn't think I could learn much from UA-cam in d2 but I have noticed gaps in my primary shot. Rlly good video thanks for this
Your crucible tips are fantastic. Great job on all your videos and thank you.
Coolguy I just want to say thank you for your help vids. You have helped me in becoming a decent player and got my first we ran thanks to you. Cheers mate
The sensitivity setting might be obvious to some but I totally took it for granted. I had been playing on console at 6 then bumped it to 8 a couple of months ago. I have been habitually over-aiming. Today, after watching this video, I'm resetting it to 5. Thanks, CG.
You explained this very well. Outstanding guide!
This is great man, I really appreciate these videos!
Awesome video again. Well done. Very helpful advice
Thanks! Hope you're feeling better soon!
Great vid bro. You put into words and practice methods, things that I have noticed sub consciously and felt in gun fights. I especially like the ideas of practicing in pVe. Keeps me calm when learning, less opportunities for choking:)
This is done really well! High quality content really glad I clicked on this!
Appreciated that you helping out here it really improved my sniping flick sniping correction sniping love it sometimes left me astounded from some kills lol
Thanks for all the work you put into stuff like this
Great vid as always. Great job on DCP as well.
Great Video CoolGuy, been watch your tip videos since Fall 2017; about the time we started with Destiny 2 with a KD of .96, now its below .80 :-(
Tips are great especially for PVE content, I've become a better and efficient player.
When it comes to PVP Crucible & Gambit matches, I have mixed results. Your tips are sound, I believe it's the game servers and the lack of match making/balancing. (It's not the path to the Server nor connectivity, I have solid +1GBs up and down.) Being in matches head to head with 4 critical hits in my opponent and still lose with a touch of a melee or single bullet. Or being in a group of 5 team mates shooting the same opponent and still get smoked (and I was close to cover and they were in the open). Found for a while now the Crucible game play is unfair from my point of view, spawn kills, getting shot while under cover/walls and even to the point I get denied kills of my opponent, if their fellow team mates time it perfectly to kill me first before the damage referee calls it a draw between my opponent and me. I started the "Word" Quest from the Drifer in the tower, yeah getting 60 kills in Crucible without dying that ant't happening anytime soon. I'm lucky now days to get 5 kills and a metal. Hahahaha Here's hoping the Xur has it later in the season :-)

This is amazing! Please continue making more video about improving in pvp. I'm trying to main a nightstalker hunter using chaperone and lunas in pvp and would gladly take any sort of tips for improving ones aim on the chaperone.
I used to play on a 3 for most of d1, I did pretty decent. I remember one match I was slaying while playing with a couple friends. Somehow the topic of sensitivity came up, they all used between 8-10.
So the next match we did a “challenge” where everyone played on 10, mostly to show me how slow 3 actually was.
I wanted to increase my sensitivity and gradually raised it after I got comfortable. I ended d1 and started d2 playing on a 5.
I came back to d2 in season 3 and gradually raised my sensitivity to 7. 7 is definitely my sweet spot.
I feel 7 is a good spot too.
I'm in the same boat I've always played on a 3 and I'm good pve but since doing more pvp I'm up to 5 and it feels better that slow turn on a 3 is a killer
Hey CoolGuy, thanks for the tips, and also I saw you using the Ace of Spades HC, so I thought I give it a try in the Crucible and I love the gun now, before I was only using it in the PvE activities, so thank you😊
Great video. I've heard the same advice for ever now from guys like u and other destiny content providers. That's because it is 100 percent (I refuse to use that stupid emoji) accurate. Sure it feels like I could do the same video bcuz I've heard so many vids that r almost identical to one another, key word being "almost". I personally feel that it's good to hear it from more then one content maker bcuz the lesson is the same but the presentation is not and sometimes u hear something said differently and all the sudden it makes sense. Thanks again.
This is a solid aim training vid keep up the good work on the content
The keeping your sights open bit is definitely something I am not consciously doing, but I'd like to think that I still am doing it. I will keep my eyes open about it! I should really get back to recording my gameplay and watching where my mistakes actually are.
Brilliant advice, many thanks. Keep up the good work with the information videos.
Thanks for another great video. I appreciate all the work you put into this!
Really appreciate the effort and time you put into your vids
Thank you
Thanks coolguy. 😊 I hope I don’t suck as much now when applying these tips!!
You really are a cool guy. Can't wait to try these techniques out!
This game was a disturbing rude awakening for me. I thought that because I have a 3 KD in the MCC I would perform well on this one. I’m sitting on a miserable 1.29 LOL.
Anyway I appreciate these vids. They’ve been very helpful. I noticed you were reflecting shots with the arc super. I’ve got no idea how to do that, but I’m certain I’ll find out as I keep watching. Thanks again for your time and efforts in putting this series together.
He was using mid tree arcstrider. If you hold aim button when in that super you reflect incoming projectiles.
i think the hardest part with aiming is the mental game, i think a lot of people have the muscle memory and the skills to hit their shots but when they go into pvp they fall to pieces. it was my biggest issue for the longest time.
its due to the fact you can take your time with the shot, and know you will hit, in pvp there connection issues, and fear being killed before getting the kill mess with players the most
Cause people never faced challenge have a mental fear of competition. Good pvp players don’t sweat much under pressure they Get better or learn.
Yeah that's probably the best tip for hand cannons don't get nervous and strafe tbh i hit shots were otherwise i should have been killed
Best tip 100% is stop giving a fuck, it's a video game. Who cares?
Pro tip use 180 hc then u just spam like a pro does.
Best way to find your sensitivity is to do a 360. Start with the lowest and keep doing the 360. Stop at the point you start. Keep upping the sensitivity till you can't stop consistently where you started. Worked for my friends and I.
A while back one of my friends and I had a discussion which he didn't see the why I was pleased with how many kills and precision kills I was getting I'm strikes and nightfalls. The point I made to him was that it refines your fundamental skill with your guns and I have no doubt that ties to my success in crucible, but I still feel like I can benefit from this keep up the good work
It's also worth keeping some clips for a now and then comparison I play nothing like I did in year one and seeing improvement can be heartening.
Awesome video, but why is no one talking about how dirty you did that Nova Lock at 10:07?
The best of many videos thank you for your content helped me a ton almost everything you said is something I needed to hear tytytytyty
