Do you go for headshots or bodyshots?

[bombadillo crocodilo]

i find it more effective to not take the risk of missing for headshots and going for body shots but
many players say to go for headshots. i dont know which to go for what do you think i should go for. I am a good player in gold nova master and is usually is top fragger.

In high ranks always go for head-shots. but in gold i think you can get away with spraying. It also depends on the weapon and situation.

i only go for headshot, but i only got a %42 headshot rate in competitive.

well, i'm still new, so i don't know much about the game, but i assume burst firing for the body is a good idea?

Try going for the legs so you do as less damage as possible.

Bodyshots are worthless in CSGO because there's no proper hit effects like a srs business shootan like ARMA. In fact, chest shots and arm shots do the same damage while stomach shots do more!

There's only three instances in which bodyshots are recommended IIRC:
1. Killing a lit player with an SSG08 (like a budget AWP)
2. P90/Negev in CQC
3. Tagging a sidestepping ADAD player so you can quickly score a headshot.

spraying works well, if you know the recoil pattern. i can spray accuratly up to about 40ft away.

teach me master
I can spray 10-20ft away with 30% of the kills being headshots.

you gotta learn the recoil control. everyone gun will have a different one.

it depends on the distance but even when you're bursting or spraying you should still be focusing on getting the headshot in the first few bullets, unless you already have information that the enemy is dinked

just shoot somewhere, the hitbox is insane.

one time, i shoot at a guy, 15m away with usp, he was jumping, i kept shooting 1,5seconds long at the position before he was jumping (he already landed, and was walking away, i was still shooting at his off-jump position), suddenly the hitbox recognized a headshot.
1,5 SECONDS AFTER he jumped away from that location.

saw the replay after that and was laughing my ass off.

Aim for the testes and hope it splits them in two.
