PC Headshot Tips?

[bugc]

I've never been able to win in 1v1 due to the fact I'm having difficulties landing Headshots.
I only got 2 in this Ranked match.

By the time I break their shield, I'm already dead,
They've already depleted my shield when I shot first.

Just asking for tips,
because I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trash at Headshots, so I rely on Meleeing everyone at this point, and It's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke.

Are Controllers really that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ OP with bodyshots?

Yes, controllers not only slight auto aim, but also have bullet magnetism so even if your cross hair isnt on him itll still count as a hit

[LunarSpaceDani]

yes controller users have buffed aim assist to where using a controller in this game is considered cheating by KaM users

as for tips i recommend an aim trainer i think there is one on steam that is free and quite popular but forgot the name of it, also mp servers are really bad right now i can't get a decent kill without either dying in the process or the hit detection doesn't work because of the lag. also set whatever mouse you have to a dpi your comfortable with and stick with that for a bit

[TheGuiltyFlea]

set your mouse sensitivity as slow as you can tolerate.
countermeasures help such as causing them to miss a shot by crouching,strafing or using cover. jumping more often than not makes you an easy target.
a melee from the back is a kill so if you rush past them and spin around before they do you have the advantage but its safer to use cover and make them come to you
a good thing to do is get steams aim lab so you can tune your flick sensitivity to where your muscle memory is and also practice flick shots and tracking

Sorry. I should of clarified when I said PC, I'm using Keyboard and Mouse.

This Video just shows how I'm being outplayed as a Mouse user. I feel cheated.

Hey Bug, just an FYI, you can change your ranked queue to only play with keyboard and mouse. I find it really helps. you might have to change from "Open" to "Solo/Duo" for it to work. its a big difference. I'm mid plat in open queue and diamond 3 on MNK queue.

As to actual tips. ill try to avoid the "Get an aim trainer" replies that I've seen. If aiming is your problem, Id start with setting yourself some goals and go to town on the weapon drills. an aim trainer might help, but its better, imo, to use the actual weapon in-engine. I did this when the game launched and it really made me more confident in my shot.

Some other misc info that might be helpful. Start by keeping your reticle at head/body level when possible, especially when holding an angle or pushing. since everyone is using the same gun, its important to get damage advantage wherever possible. on that note, make sure you aren't sprinting around corners, as to avoid giving free damage to anyone watching them.

With the BR, aim for center mass. the recoil will often give you headshots, and when your enemies shield is up damage is the same no matter where you hit them. obviously without shields feel free to got for the head tap, but a lot of mnk players try to go for headshots all the time, and miss half their burst through the recoil.


Hope these help! let me know if this all makes sense lol!

Thanks for the tips everyone. :)

Will try out all your suggestions.

I'm Diamond2 in Ranked playing Crossplay, and I think that's my biggest problem, I'm going to go back and try out Keyboard/Mouse.

I've noticed trying to aim above their head slightly has helped too.

I mean it is like with any other game. Training your aim and or tracking will help. I find I can out aim opponents way more than the other way around. You don't HAVE to get headshots to win fights though it does help. As someone in Plat 5 with like only a handful of games in after it ranked me in plat 2, I am no professional but my Fortnite and Cold War aim training in aim lab proved to be a significant advantage to me who is consistently doing the best in the game/on my team.

No matter how you feel about PC gaming and or Fortnite/Cold war, at the end of the day, aiming is a skill that can be improved with practice outside of the game no matter what others say about that and I recommend you try something to improve said aim and or tracking. At the end of the day, you simply have to hit more shots. Though that is coming from someone with like an 80% head shot rate in Cold War so maybe I am not qualified to answer this question.

I honestly got better with headshots playing tactical slayer with MnK. It's the only bearable game mode for me and the BR is the only gun I really feel proficient with with aside from the sidekick.

Just a tip, avoid spray weapons as a MnK user like the AR and Commando b/c they have horrendous bloom even if you're accurate with your reticle on target and you'll lose against a controller player 8/10 times because they have strong bullet magnetism so they'll simply out dps you.

That is the impression that people get. As long as you are moving your crosshair even slightly your crosshair will be glued to whoever crosses by and is in range.
It is probably not as advantageous in campaign however, where enemies move much more predictably and can usually be one or two-shotted with easily accessible weapon setups regardless of difficulty.

Not true but keep telling that to yourself to make you feel better :)

Like others already said, try focusing on bodyshots until the shield is down, only then go for the head
Aim trainers only really help when it has the possibility to have the same sensitivity settings as in halo, if that's not the case it will mess with your muscle memory so don't bother using an aimtrainer that doesn't have settings specifically for halo

I've played this game with controller and tested it out and can tell you it's true enough that controller players definitely have an advantage with certain weapons like I mentioned in my other post. I still have ammo left over in an AR mag on controller after a kill whereas on MnK I have to dump the entire mag even with good aim and even that doesn't always grant a kill. So go on keep remaining ignorant. :)

Bullet magnetism applied the same to mouse-aim.
It's the crosshair-pulling aim assist that is gamepad only.

(And if recent video from Reddit is anything to go by, the crosshair-pushing negative magnetism the sniper might be getting on mouse aim, but I'm waiting for more info than just the single video on that one)

I'm actively playing both and from that I can say that you're full of ♥♥♥♥ mate :)

Well then please elaborate why I often get perfects on controller even with my reticle barely touching a player whereas I've only got it maybe twice on MnK? Please enlighten me oh so very knowledgeable one :^)
