Sensitivity Optimization
Finding the right sensitivity is crucial for consistent aim. Use our tools to convert between different sensitivity scales and calculate your eDPI.
Crosshair Configuration
Your crosshair should reflect your playstyle and preferences. Generate custom crosshairs or browse pro player configurations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I practice aim training?
Consistency is key. Aim for daily sessions of 30-60 minutes. Professional players often train 2-4 hours daily, but even 30 minutes daily will show significant improvement over weeks.
How long does it take to improve aim?
You can see noticeable improvement in 2-4 weeks of consistent training. Significant improvement takes 2-3 months. Developing professional-level aim typically takes 6-12 months of dedicated practice.
Should I use aim training maps in deathmatch?
Yes, alternate between both. Aim training maps develop specific mechanics in controlled environments. Deathmatch applies those skills against real players in realistic scenarios. Both are essential.
What sensitivity should I use for aim training?
Use the same sensitivity you use in competitive play. Consistency is crucial. Once you find a comfortable eDPI (sensitivity × DPI), stick with it to build muscle memory.
Can aim training replace competitive matchmaking?
No, aim training complements competitive play but doesn't replace it. Matchmaking teaches gamesense, positioning, and decision-making that aim training alone cannot develop.
How do I track progress in aim training?
Keep a practice log with dates, maps used, kills per session, and accuracy percentages. Most aim training maps track stats automatically. Review your progress weekly.
What's the difference between spray control and flick aim?
Spray control is maintaining accuracy while holding down the mouse button (sustained fire). Flick aim is quickly moving to a target and clicking precisely. Both are essential for different combat scenarios.
