JAKARTA - As a gamer, you must understand how it feels to lose a headshot in a game. Apart from the length of your experience playing the game, there should also be a way to improve your aim in shooting games.

Here are some handy tips that will help you instantly get better at aiming in people shooting games like Valorant and CS:GO.

Understand Your Weaknesses First

Most gamers often spend hours practicing their shots without even analyzing what causes their shots to be inconsistent.

Instead of looking for reasons why your shot missed, you should start thinking about why you can't hit the enemy. Many FPS games have a death camera showing replays of duels, which is really helpful for anyone planning to improve their shots.

Once you know what you're lacking, you can practice shooting in a shooting practice app like Aim Lab for a few minutes each day. Keep in mind that playing games with real people is much better than spending hours training with bots on a training app.

Tweak Your Mouse Sensitivity

Mouse sensitivity also matters you need to tweak the sensitivity in your game. Having a higher sensitivity will allow you to make quick turns in the game environment while a lower sensitivity will increase the precision and accuracy when you lock on the target.

You should try to find a sweet spot in the middle where the sensitivity is high enough that you don't have to drag the mouse endlessly to shoot at enemies behind you and low enough to aim for the head (or body) accurately.

Improve Your Crosshair Positioning In Game

One of the most common problems is the incorrect positioning of their crosshairs. As a serious gamer, your crosshair should be at the enemy's head at all times, to reduce the distance between your crosshair and the target and will help you take better shots.

You can place your crosshair a few pixels away from the wall. This ensures that when an enemy appears, you get enough time to react with an enemy still within range of your crosshair, making it easier for you to shoot in a timely and precise manner.

Customize Your Crosshair Size

A smaller crosshair allows you to aim more accurately because you know exactly where the bullet will hit the target. Some gamers prefer a small square as their crosshair, while others find that their accuracy improves with a dot crosshair.

However, it all depends on your playing style, you can choose between large and small crosshairs.

Learn Tapping to Control Recoil

The recoil mechanics and weapons in the shooting game make the game feel more realistic. But the random movement of the crosshairs can make it difficult for you to aim, just like in real life.

The most efficient method of reverse control is tapping, which means you click the mouse more often than hold down the button, which is also known as spraying. Tapping gives you enough time to reposition or "control" recoil so the crosshairs don't shift from the target.

Avoid Running While Shooting

Running can affect your aim as many of the bullets miss the target as they scatter. Don't run all the time while playing FPS games. Move slowly and calmly while checking corners for enemies.

Improve Your Game Sense

Most FPS game maps have specific locations in the game where you can camp, or get a better shot at enemies. Learning where these points are and regularly checking corners is a good way to get some kills. You can even shoot a corner first if you're sure there's an enemy camped out there.

Get Better Hardware

Hardware is as important as the game itself. Having a lightweight gaming mouse will help you with aiming, as you will have to put less effort into dragging or repositioning your shot. The right table, chair and mouse pad have also proven to be effective in improving your gaming skills.

Since the mouse is the most prominent piece of hardware you use when aiming, you should pay attention to game-specific features when purchasing it.
