how to avoid insta headshots?

[Flying Fish]

im okay at the game but the 1 problem i run into very often is people just 1 shotting me how do you even pull that off? when i shoot at somebody sure sometimes i get a headshot but i pretty much never just 1 tap someone is there any way to avoid this so i can actually shoot back?

They are 1 shotting you instantly because they have good crosshair placement. Keep your crosshair at head height and then you'll already be aiming where their head is when they peek. To avoid being shot in the head instantly play at uncommon positions (known as off-angles). Being at an off angle makes it more likely that they have to move their crosshair to aim at your head-- giving you more time to react.

Duck once and then keep moving on a non consistent motion..

Crouching will just make it easier for the enemy to kill you.

It's a peeker's advantage in CS:GO so there's no way to avoid this. You just have to hope the enemy misses. The best way to counter this is by hiding behind cover but the enemy can prefire you by predicting your position so it's down to skill and reaction time

Flashes, smokes, movement. The three pillars of not getting shot.

Problem is with most newer players who aim for the torso. When you duck, your head is at chest-level. You can just hope that the enemy is aiming for your head when you duck.

the most annoying part is when someone jumping and running like a monkey but 1 tap you w ak or deagle
that doesnt make sense
the innacurrate so random and idk why some ppl pull that off couple times
they didnt counter strafe or stop move when firing, they just keep jumping around like monkey

Don't hide behind wall bangable corners. Especially in higher tank where most people just shoot every spot.

If I recall some vertical levels have floors that are bangable too.

This is also a bigger problem with wallhackers.

That might be cheating, or luck.
