Tips For Someone With Potato Aim?

[Achilles]

Basically the title. I struggle to compensate for recoil, I often panic when I see an enemy and swing my mouse all over the place, I sometimes snap to the target a bit too hard and miss completely, and I almost never get headshots. Any tips/tricks to get better?

(As usual, if you say 'git gud' you're going to Hell...)

Check out the barrels, they help for the certain type of weapons you are using.

use the correct barrel attachments and experiment with your vertical sens. also use aimlab if you want to train mouse-hand coordination

[DEEPSEEK_R1_1.5B_PARAM.GGUF]

To help with in-game recoil control, do look into barrel attachments for your every operator's weapons, compensator to reduce horizontal recoil or flash hider to slightly help reduce overall recoil

for grips, try using vertical grips until you get a hang of recoil control in the game. Afterwards, swap over to angled grips to reduce the weapon's ADS time

For gameplay wise, you might need to dramatically lower your in-game sens. For reference, I have an effective 500 DPI in r6

Default your aim around neck or upper chest area and after a while, you should be able to see an increase of your headshot to kills ratio increase

lower aim sensitivity, that goes a long way. hold angles where you are small and they have to swing, aim at chest high,

[DrawingBoard]

Slower mouse settings/lower aim sensitivity, go for body shots instead of head shots, and spend less time aiming down sights to get used to more peripheral audio and visual ques. Once you're comfortable with the environment it should be easier to balance when to go for head shots and such. Also, don't be afraid to just shoot before you get a good shot if there's an angle that's difficult. It's better to be lucky once every ten times than let the opportunity pass you by all the time.

Put your mouse at 800 dpi

[Usaball]

Use vertical grip on every gun you can as well as flash hider to minimize as much recoil as possible. Play t-hunt and then deathmatch to warm up your aim but don't be discouraged if you get smoked in deathmatch because it is just a practice mode. Use guns you're uncomfortable with.

Make sure your DPI isn't high. It doesn't have to be absurdly low to the point where it's very uncomfortable, but if your mouse is sliding around too easily that sounds like an issue you're having. It could be a mousepad issue as well.

For now, focus less on heads and more on hitting the body. Depending on the fire rate and setting you can really unload a whole clip into someone rather quickly that has better aim than you.

For example, I use the C75 Auto which is a sidearm for Dokkaebi, Kali, Vigil, and Thorn. It's a machine pistol for very high rate of fire and almost no recoil, so when I know someone is going to turn on me or I need to turn on someone else in a close quarter setting, I take it out and even if they aim for my head I can usually take them out before they get me unless they're using something with a higher or similar rate of fire.

Mid to long range encounters are much more difficult if you struggle with aim, so avoiding them is probably your best bet, but eventually you want to start practicing in aimlabs.

Obviously vertical grip is a must, but in general look for guns with lower recoil.

- 552 Commando (IQ, Grim)
- ACS12 (Alibi, Maestro, Azami)
- AUG A2 (IQ, Wamai)
- F90 (Gridlock)
- MP5 (Doc, Rook, Melusi)
- PARA-308 (Capitao, Brava)
- PDW9 (Jackal, Osa)
- SC3000K (Zero)
- UMP45 (Castle, Pulse)

This is not an extensive list by any means, but it's a few examples to put you in the right direction. Low recoil guns tend to fall short in other areas, mainly fire rate, but if you're struggling to hit shots they're a good place to start. I see newbies go for the Twitch F2 in quick match and it's never pretty...

Overtime you'll start to learn the recoil of every gun, and even use it to your advantage. Sometimes I like to add slight recoil back to guns that aren't absurd while having the benefit of the suppressor, and I find I get more headshots that way weirdly enough because of the increase in recoil, but that's a me thing.

Also, you don't want to move around too much when an enemy comes into sight. Movement creates noise, and depending on the operator you can be quite loud and get return fire you weren't prepared for. Patience is key in a lot of circumstances.

Finally, utility and being a good teammate overall goes a long way and remembering that could take the pressure off of you. If you're doing anti-breach on defense, or utility clear/support on attack, then helping your teammates who are better at getting kills goes a long way. Help with site setup and fillout what's missing on your team. Use the cameras to soft ping for teammates and callout what is happening around the map. Kills don't always have to be your focus every single match. A match can quickly fall apart if there's too many cooks in the kitchen.
