Why do pro players use laser sights?

[B.A.]

Laser sights are generally assumed as not worth since it gives away your position, but so many pro players use laser sights?

But y tho

Laser sights give you 25% better hip fire accuracy.

Hipfire accuracy is in affect throughout the majority of ADSing animation. Hence laser sights are a net gain for performance. To prevent laser sights from giving away your position simply aim at door and window frames (which you should do anyway) and they will never see you coming.

In all honesty, you won’t be looking for little red dots on walls when you’re trying to find someone

You will notice it eaisly if you are focused on game and pay attention.
But the thing is you are not 100% sure where the enemy with laser is, you just know he is near (you may always pre fire tho).

I use a laser on every single gun, I just developed the habit of placing my aim on the doorframe or corner instead of next to it, which requires a small adjustment, but it's worth it. If I know the surface my laser would be landing on isn't within the sight of the enemy, I will even aim regularly.

1.9 K/D for me so far, so I can't be doing too terribly.

But that's just for me, and different things work for different people. On average what works for many people is using a laser only for those operators they play aggressively with. Classics are Ash and Ela. With operators you are holding angles with, e.g. Rook or Sledge, you don't use a laser.

On shotguns and pistols for shield operators everyone should always use lasers.

Laser sights are only a problem if you camp while roaming.
