Pro tips: -always shoot and move -always reload -never buy armor -use the bizon through most of the game -always stand in front of a friendly awper - only use decoys
Pro tip: good time to reload is when you are flashed. You cant do anything at that point so sometimes its good to use that time to reload instead of start shooting aimlessly :D
Even more pro tip ; add this to your autoexec //WEPSWITCH when picked up with E but not when just running over it cl_autowepswitch 0 alias +pickuse "cl_autowepswitch 1;+use" alias -pickuse "-use;cl_autowepswitch 0"
I would usually shoot and stay with same magazine till I see enemy, if no enemy seen.. Then take cover and reload Also had this shitty habbit, just don't reload straight
Be wary of that last one (picking up a different gun), a lot of the time you'll pick up an empty gun off an enemy who did the same thing you're trying to do.
He picked up an Heavy Machine Gun, Which carries alot of ammo. So its fine in some occasions when picking up an Heavy Machine Gun, Because they will likely still have ammo to kill a player.
I always reload the AK and M4 by pressing "R" then quick switching it to my knife then back to the AK to cancel the "last reload animation." It looks flashy and all, but is this faster than just pressing "R"?
Quick reloading is not faster, but it is very good to know the timings. For example when you have to reload both of your guns you can save a lot of time by switching. Or if you want to use a grenade, plant the bomb etc.
PureN2o With practice you can easily land it every time. Helps you a lot if you want to do something other than fire the weapon after you reload, like using a nade.
Can you do two separate series when you have basic tips and advanced tips? For higher up players you don't post any videos for them because they already know all of these things, it only helps just the new players.
You should've mentioned that you can reload faster by reloading and switching weapons when the magazine's been put into the weapon. This saves time and I've seen pros do it
Honestly I don't think this video covers when to reload, but rather how to react when your weapon is out of ammo. At the very start WarOwl briefly skims over the fact that when to reload depends on your style but fails to elaborate on this in any real way (not even saying something basic like timing reloads is more important with the 20 round M4 than the 50 round P90). Still a good video, but maybe the title is a little facetious.
If anyone tells you that switching your weapon while reloading makes it faster, you better don't believe them! Long, boring educational text following. In CS:GO, when you reload a gun, the magazine is full as soon as a new magazine is in the gun (just like in real life, yay!). You can see this by looking at the bullet count in the bottom right corner of your screen. Most weapons have an animation that is exceeding this point in time. Let's call the part after the bullet count has been updated the "post-reload animation". Some weapons have post-reload animations that are longer than their draw animations. Does that mean that if you reload, switch to another weapon and back make the reload faster? No. As soon as you put in that new magazine, the game prevents you from shooting with that weapon as long as the post-reload animation runs, not matter what you do. If you quickswitch and have your gun ready again, you simply can't shoot for a short moment. Try it out. 3kliksphilip made a video about this topic. It is called "Fast-switching in CS:GO" and it is very informative.
I always thought (English is not my native language) that "I still have no closer" meant that you considered yourself the best in the world and nobody could reach your epicness. I respected you. Comments' section here shows how I was wrong. Now I respect you even more.
I noticed a nice detail in a game called tribes: ascend, reloading when the magazine is not empty does not re-cock the gun, since there already is a bullet in the chamber. Such genius!
hanspeter2210 That's false. You can test this with an AUG. Although quick switching appears to be quicker (cuz the animation is over), there's this invisible amount of time where your gun does not fire.
Hi ,warowl i just wanted to thank you ,thanks to your tips and a lot of practice i went from silver IV to Nova 1 and i will keep practicing untill i make it up to LEM ,thank's a lot ,NO IT WASNT BECAUSE OF MY TEAM ,MY TEAM WASNT HOLDING ME BACK ,it was just me not being able to step it up to the gold nova players ,i was in silver rank because i was at silver level ,i was a bit stuck on Silver Elite Master tho. Thanks WarOwl i hope your sticker get's approved on the workshop.
***** and quickswitch is faster way to reload! >:D when you reload, with some weapons, the bullets will be given while the reload is still in process, and then quickswitch will make reload time with some weapons shrink like Mewtwo's head! (you won't understand my refence)
Double D ò.ò i saw pokemon when i was a kid. i always felt the same bro, but also, as many people know, the randomness of the spread in csgo....is quite higher than in source and 1.6 well, i just feel like if i QQQ the spread will always be the exact same, thats why i like to spray and nail the recoil.
Warowl, you suppose to mention, that you can decrease reload time by using quickswitch(or whatever its called) while magazine is already in your gun( i suppose u do it by yourself)
Hey WarOwl, I've been having an issue in CSGO with spotting enemies; In any other game I'm able to see an enemy the instant I pop around a corner, but with GO it takes me a fraction of a second longer - by which point I'm dead. I thought that if no one had an answer to this, or even so, that it might make a good quick tips video or something. And just so people know what I've tried: Change saturation setting in CCC to 150%
You should have mentioned that you can switch weapons when your ammo indicator says you reload. The animation for reloads takes longer than actually reloading. Switching weapons when the ammo indicator says you reloaded saves a little bit of time but is still useful when you reload and someone comes sneaking around the corner.
I read somewhere a long time ago that you should NOT reload unless you are 100% shore that you are safe and that there is nobody around you. But I think warowls tips are better.
Really good video, just one comment- In the noob talk, you said "Shotguns do not have magazines" They do, in fact, have tubular magazines, just not detachable box mags But, I mean, it was noob talk, not Einstein talk
My CS Senpai, Mr Jimmy Whisenhunt said for me to practice in Deathmatch and put on the constraints: Unbind reload and crouch. it also means you cannot be too wasteful with bullets. otherwise you'll die. The aim is to try and get as many kills on the 1 magazine.
Yes, most shotguns featured in CS:GO have a non-detachable tube magazine underneath the barrel. Shotguns with no magazine exist and are even fairly popular for hunting because they are cheap and easy to maintain.
When to reload: When your out of ammo, or when there isn't a gun pointed directly down your sights. Here's a protip. You don't need to reload after 3-4 shots. I'll save you the 2:50 :)
Hey War Owl. What do you think about the possibility of dropping grenades, buying armours, helmets and defusal kits for your teammates. Sometimes, it may come in handy when you have spare cash and your comrades don't have them. Since you said that you have to buy and save as a team, therefore every dollar gained by you and your teammates are the team's money, right? Therefore, I believe every item bought using that money should be able to be used by your comrades. What do you think about this?
Wow war owl your videos wre useful and informative I really like the ideas you have about video games keep it up bro .....and I watch all your videos I mean not all but most and I love you
I would think having the knife out would count as "Having your pants down," too, so to speak. Happens a lot in lower silver, people run with their knife out in inappropriate places and they take a while to switch.
whats sad is reloading doesn't take to long with smgs and that's what iuse mainly in csgo i can get about 3 kills in a round of competitive XD like ump usually your close to mid range shoot-kill back off reload and repeat or strafe jump corner and aim at the ground get a headshot .... i love smgs
Protip: if you have an empty primary weapon and your opponent does not have a primary weapon, throw your primary at them, as they will pick it up and have to reload it while you can use your sidearm to dispatch your opponent
of the subject but wat do u think about mice with buttons on the side. because ik u say u dont like quick switching. but i just press q and 1 on my mouse really quick. and i use it all the for reloading and awping . something when i panic ill press 2 or 3 on accident and fuck up the whole round . i just wana know ur opinion on mouses like that and if u use one?. great vids man!
You forgot the simply most seen bad habit when it comes to reloading. That would be reloading after every single kill, that gets people killed like 10 times per match. Timing your reloads its part of what is known as "game sense".
It's worth mentioning that you can't reload the knife.
lol!
Or the grenades.
TheWarOwl You are fat!
Tylermann is a hater noob who doesn't even understand noob talk
I guess I should have put /s
Should have mentioned not to reload after every kill or when you have ample bullets in ur magazine =p
1. shoots 1 bullet
2. reloads
3. gets killed
I can't even state how true this is on lower skill levels
Im MG but I still keep doing that from time to time, my reflex comes from tf2 I think
Don't worry, i had that reflex aswell but it's almost gone now. It'll go away, i promise
youaintgettingthisusernamebro No i don't think that the ranks or COD have something to do with this. It's just a bad habit that some players have.
Gettin Serious Both do. For ranks, people are stupid. For CoD players, you reload basically after every kill because you can.
Pro tips:
-always shoot and move
-always reload
-never buy armor
-use the bizon through most of the game
-always stand in front of a friendly awper
- only use decoys
Floyd Keim III -be the first guy that always dead
Try to no scope with the awp
+Floyd Keim III with the mac 10 and mp9 you do want to move and shoot tho
who doesn't use decoys
+Beastbaccca pros
Pro tip: good time to reload is when you are flashed. You cant do anything at that point so sometimes its good to use that time to reload instead of start shooting aimlessly :D
Arcade lol no, enemy hears that and kills you
***** Lol, only usable in deathmatches.... where there is no flahbangs (normally)
arcade fl studo god
Pro tipp, don't charge an enemy with yout pistol and run over a weapon with auto pickup enabled.
Ahah yeah know that feel fak
xD lost so many gunfights on Eco rounds because of this
never go autoswitch on pickup. ever.
Even more pro tip ; add this to your autoexec
//WEPSWITCH when picked up with E but not when just running over it
cl_autowepswitch 0
alias +pickuse "cl_autowepswitch 1;+use"
alias -pickuse "-use;cl_autowepswitch 0"
or you can just go in settings and turn it off lol much simpler
I have a habit of reloading even if i'm missing just a one bullet. That has gotten me killed countless times.
rapu same
Same with 2014 me
I would usually shoot and stay with same magazine till I see enemy, if no enemy seen.. Then take cover and reload
Also had this shitty habbit, just don't reload straight
Hily shit me too
-Guns in CS:GO have magazines that hold rounds.
2014-TheWarOwl
i didnt know that tho
+Gentlemen ????!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!121
SuperDank™ hue.
Be wary of that last one (picking up a different gun), a lot of the time you'll pick up an empty gun off an enemy who did the same thing you're trying to do.
Lol true.
A lot of times they will have died using part of the clip which is still more than the 0 in your clip.
He picked up an Heavy Machine Gun, Which carries alot of ammo. So its fine in some occasions when picking up an Heavy Machine Gun, Because they will likely still have ammo to kill a player.
Computer Dude When do you ever see an LMG being used in competitive? Outside of the "Oh we lead 15-3, let's all buy Negevs for fun" rounds?
TyGamer125
"Clip"
I think its about time War Owl gets a closer...
He had a flip knife that he named "the closer"
sorry but what is a closer? i don't get it
KHbetterthanFF A video ending/closer...
KHbetterthanFF I think it's an outro
KHbetterthanFF sort of a "close line", like "Thanks for watching, im out" or something
Reload syndrome: Reload the moment you stop shooting. This shit has gotten me killed so many times ._.
FUN FACT!
TheWarOwl didn't show a fun fact!
I always reload the AK and M4 by pressing "R" then quick switching it to my knife then back to the AK to cancel the "last reload animation." It looks flashy and all, but is this faster than just pressing "R"?
No. I always watch the reload animation so I know exactly when I can shoot.
It used to be faster, but Valve added a delay a few updates ago so you can start shooting at the same time, whether you switch or don't
Quick reloading is not faster, but it is very good to know the timings. For example when you have to reload both of your guns you can save a lot of time by switching. Or if you want to use a grenade, plant the bomb etc.
no, it doesnt help anymore. all it does if give you a chance to botch it up and take even longer to reload.
PureN2o With practice you can easily land it every time. Helps you a lot if you want to do something other than fire the weapon after you reload, like using a nade.
1:54 what is that reference?
No, I mean what movie/videos was this from? I don't think WarOwl made this one himself :D
***** MR.T Fool
Mista' T! He used to live near me when I was growing up, insane person.
TheWarOwl
Greetings, WarOwl! ^^
TheWarOwl wow that's really cool
tl:dr
When you're out of ammo.
2:14 Drop your weapon!!!
Best Pro Tip Ever!
Also be wary picking up a m4a1s, the usually don't have that much ammo left in the clip
Can you do two separate series when you have basic tips and advanced tips? For higher up players you don't post any videos for them because they already know all of these things, it only helps just the new players.
I had some advanced tips and basic tips in this video.
TheWarOwl Were the advanced tips hidden? They might've been advanced for let's say a Nova 4...
gordon wow dude, chill out
Make a tip video of the stuff that makes sounds and how to cover your weapon's nozzle from showing while hiding
I actually have this planned for a video!
TheWarOwl While youre at iit also show us when the gun nozzle shows inside of a smoke and it should be perfect. I'm ranking up with your tutorials :>
+TheWarOwl Do it.I'm interested.
You should've mentioned that you can reload faster by reloading and switching weapons when the magazine's been put into the weapon. This saves time and I've seen pros do it
It doesn`t work, check out 2kliksphilip videos about it :)
No, it's a myth.
Pros do it out of habit from previous Counter-Strike titles this trick worked in.
Except that's not true.
Except for how it doesnt work like that
Honestly I don't think this video covers when to reload, but rather how to react when your weapon is out of ammo. At the very start WarOwl briefly skims over the fact that when to reload depends on your style but fails to elaborate on this in any real way (not even saying something basic like timing reloads is more important with the 20 round M4 than the 50 round P90).

you're the best you tuber ever, you know the difference between magazines and clips
I noticed a nice detail in a game called tribes: ascend, reloading when the magazine is not empty does not re-cock the gun, since there already is a bullet in the chamber. Such genius!
"Drop your weapon and engage in fisticuffs!" I freakin' died.
Most important time to reload: end of round to spin a karambit :)
Wow, 0 downvotes. Looks like WarOwl is indeed the best. :D
When should I reload my Molotov?
i reload my knife everyday
Damn
once a week
Start of the next round
There's a 3rd time when you are vulnerable...When you are running with your knife out. Tempting cause your faster but dangerous around corners.
NO BONUS TIP ;-;
as soon as the HUD says full magazine, switch to sidearm and quickly back. It saves a little time.
hanspeter2210 That's false. You can test this with an AUG. Although quick switching appears to be quicker (cuz the animation is over), there's this invisible amount of time where your gun does not fire.
but you are the coolest guy in class
bitches love quickreloading guys.
hanspeter2210 No, it doesn't.
Quickreloading is useful with the awp, it stops it auto scoping and makes less noise.
And gives you swag.
Hi ,warowl i just wanted to thank you ,thanks to your tips and a lot of practice i went from silver IV to Nova 1 and i will keep practicing untill i make it up to LEM ,thank's a lot ,NO IT WASNT BECAUSE OF MY TEAM ,MY TEAM WASNT HOLDING ME BACK ,it was just me not being able to step it up to the gold nova players ,i was in silver rank because i was at silver level ,i was a bit stuck on Silver Elite Master tho.
Thanks WarOwl i hope your sticker get's approved on the workshop.
Love the intro song, nice videos man!
Does quickswitching resets the recoil?
***** Nice question someone anwester please :)?
of course it does
Double D it always felt like it, i quickswitch like a mofo
***** and quickswitch is faster way to reload! >:D when you reload, with some weapons, the bullets will be given while the reload is still in process, and then quickswitch will make reload time with some weapons shrink like Mewtwo's head! (you won't understand my refence)
Double D ò.ò i saw pokemon when i was a kid.
i always felt the same bro, but also, as many people know, the randomness of the spread in csgo....is quite higher than in source and 1.6
well, i just feel like if i QQQ the spread will always be the exact same, thats why i like to spray and nail the recoil.
love the style of your speech, thanks!
Warowl, you suppose to mention, that you can decrease reload time by using quickswitch(or whatever its called) while magazine is already in your gun( i suppose u do it by yourself)

Switching weapons when the ammo indicator says you reloaded saves a little bit of time but is still useful when you reload and someone comes sneaking around the corner.
The bonus tip bait!
Great video WarOwl. I hope that your sticker gets put in at some point.
I read somewhere a long time ago that you should NOT reload unless you are 100% shore that you are safe and that there is nobody around you.
But I think warowls tips are better.
humm that end there that pause I thought you were gonna say "I'm the warowl and I still... die while reloading"
Really good video, just one comment-
In the noob talk, you said "Shotguns do not have magazines"
They do, in fact, have tubular magazines, just not detachable box mags
But, I mean, it was noob talk, not Einstein talk
My CS Senpai, Mr Jimmy Whisenhunt said for me to practice in Deathmatch and put on the constraints: Unbind reload and crouch. it also means you cannot be too wasteful with bullets. otherwise you'll die. The aim is to try and get as many kills on the 1 magazine.
Speaking of bullets, any idea where the extra mags come from after you pick up a weapon that has been dropped on the floor? Black magic?
Actually shotguns technically have a magazine, which is inside the gun.
I think. I dunno though
yeah its the same like putting bullets in magazine, then in gun, but shotguns have magazine already, you just need bullets to be put in
Yes, most shotguns featured in CS:GO have a non-detachable tube magazine underneath the barrel. Shotguns with no magazine exist and are even fairly popular for hunting because they are cheap and easy to maintain.
Is quick reloading really faster than normal reloading?
No actually is not. Check out 3kliksphillp's video
youaintgettingthisusernamebro hit r and then when ammo resets in lower left, then quick switch to knife and back to rifle
Not in csgo but it does look and sound cooler
It's not quicker for any gun, but it is worth doing for the awp because it stops the gun scoping in after reloading, and makes less noise.
I needed this
When to reload:
When your out of ammo, or when there isn't a gun pointed directly down your sights.
Here's a protip. You don't need to reload after 3-4 shots.
I'll save you the 2:50 :)
Shotguns other than MAG-7 do have magazines. They have non-detachable tube magazines.
can you do a video on the maps you want to be in the next operation?
He already did that for De_Season....
The shotguns do have magazines. It’s just that they are internal and can’t be replaced.
Wow i didn't know it's a thing to drop your weapon and pick up another one. Thanks!
2:14.
I love it.
Once I dropped my weapon and switched to a UMP on the ground hoping it had ammo so that I could take out the enemy on site. The UMP had no ammo :'(
If you ever forget to say "And I still have no closer" then the best save would be to write in the comments: I got a closer!
Also the cool thing about a reload is the enemy will hear the full reload sequence even if you switch weapons
I think you should be able to reload even though your magazine is full. It will improve the astetics of the game because it is a bit more realistic.
Do you remember in 1.6 when you click R and instantly change the gun
So when you switch back your gun is reloaded
Just in time for the advice :-)
this was a great video, keep it up :>
Great video, man :)
I *love* to reload during a battle! there's nothing like the feeling of slamming a long silver bullet, into a well greased chamber.
Hey War Owl. What do you think about the possibility of dropping grenades, buying armours, helmets and defusal kits for your teammates. Sometimes, it may come in handy when you have spare cash and your comrades don't have them. Since you said that you have to buy and save as a team, therefore every dollar gained by you and your teammates are the team's money, right? Therefore, I believe every item bought using that money should be able to be used by your comrades. What do you think about this?
Nice Mr. T reference there ;D
Thank you for the tips. I always hide and reload when someone will jump on me
warowl you're such a hoot
Wow war owl your videos wre useful and informative I really like the ideas you have about video games keep it up bro .....and I watch all your videos I mean not all but most and I love you
also don't reload while moving, stay behind cover. that mistake killed me way to often because i was reloading while going around a corner
ty warowl.... this is a silver league real pain, ppl shot 10 bullets with p90 and reload!!!!!
i want to rank up i dont suck like them, i suck less :P
buy you still suck :P
Jacob Gunn you're
I would think having the knife out would count as "Having your pants down," too, so to speak. Happens a lot in lower silver, people run with their knife out in inappropriate places and they take a while to switch.
I have literally never seen a negev reloaded until now!
Shotguns have a magazines too. If they wouldn't have a magazine, it could only hold one round - in the chamber.
They are just not detachable.
Thanks for that !
poor Owlet
Another thing to take note of is the time required to switch to the pistol!
whats sad is reloading doesn't take to long with smgs and that's what iuse mainly in csgo i can get about 3 kills in a round of competitive XD like ump usually your close to mid range shoot-kill back off reload and repeat or strafe jump corner and aim at the ground get a headshot .... i love smgs
you have the best closer ever
The fake reloading might be useful for me! Thanks for sharing!
I'm very curious, why do characters in CS extract normal bullet from cartridge chamber every time they reload, when they have some rounds in mag.
2:13 is best part
Protip: if you have an empty primary weapon and your opponent does not have a primary weapon, throw your primary at them, as they will pick it up and have to reload it while you can use your sidearm to dispatch your opponent
Hate noob talk but love pro tips
"I'm the Warowl, and I still..."
THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!
That is becoming your closer
Do a vid on how to hold bomb sites as ct and t and when to plant, and the plant trick wher you click the bomb and change to a gun. Thx
All my friends make fun of me cause I watch you
Shotguns DO use a magazine... it's just tubular, though some do use a traditional style magazine.
+elliothansson videos?! Thanks for this well-written and intelligent feedback. Clearly you are clueless.
+Mike Bircher But they dont work like ordinary clips though and thats what he meant.Besides he was talking about the game.
That's like saying "this particular car doesn't use a transmission." Factually incorrect is factually incorrect.
Hey warowl can you please do a vid on how to control recoil at medium to long range? Thanks
I'm the warowl and i still have no clothes on.
will you make facecam vids and do you stream?
Would be usefull if he explained quick reloading too with this.
And I still....
wait for it....
Have no Closer.-WarOwl
of the subject but wat do u think about mice with buttons on the side. because ik u say u dont like quick switching. but i just press q and 1 on my mouse really quick. and i use it all the for reloading and awping . something when i panic ill press 2 or 3 on accident and fuck up the whole round . i just wana know ur opinion on mouses like that and if u use one?. great vids man!
I can't tell if he actually doesn't have a closer or if he intentionally made his closer "I'm TheWarOwl and I still have no closer"..........
You forgot the simply most seen bad habit when it comes to reloading. That would be reloading after every single kill, that gets people killed like 10 times per match. Timing your reloads its part of what is known as "game sense".
Will the new de_season come to the competitive list
wheeeeeere´s da Bonus tip? waaaaaaroooooooowl!!!
I'm just glad you didn't call the magazines, "clips"
I am the WarOwl and I still have to reload.
Thx for help :P
