If you've tried out CS: GO, you have probably realized that it's one of the hardest first-person shooting games. The concept of aiming and shooting at your enemies seems straightforward. However, actually playing the game becomes an uphill task.

 

You miss most of your shots, your flash bombs are ineffective, and you get eliminated in less than 10 minutes. Playing like a professional requires dedication and practise if you wish to improve dramatically.

 

Telling you that practice is all that you require is useless; this article outlines three specific methods that help you improve your gaming. The three measures cover the primary basics of playing CS: GO.

 

Aiming

 

Successfully landing your attacks requires you to aim your shots effectively. You have to kill your enemies for you to advance through CS: G ranks. Aiming involves two primary motions. You can stand still or shoot while running.

 

It's straightforward to kill your enemy but incorporating motion while shooting sends most of your attacks off. Basically, most CS: GO weapons involve hip-fire except snipers that allow you to aim.

 

Mastering hip fire requires you to practice severally. Start by standing when you engage in head-on attacks. The chances of missing while still are slim since most attacks land where the pointer is.

 

Contrary, movement sends off your attacks because of recoil. Specifically, recoil sends your attacks vertically off. This means you mostly miss your target even when the pointer targets them directly.

 

Practice aiming by balancing out the recoil of the gun using your mouse. Vertical movement of the mouse in the opposite direction balances the recoil allowing you to land your shots. Additionally, fire your shots in burst rounds to get higher chances of killing your opponent.

 

You can improve your shots by practising in the Spray Control Map developed by Community Recoil Master. The map allows you to learn about the recoil of different weapons. Practising in the map helps you gain experience, which proves valuable in live matches.

 

Core Weapons

 

When you start CS: GO you don't have access to an arsenal of weapons. You can use four primary weapons. Learning how to use the guns can help you dramatically improve your CS: GO affluence.

 

The starter pistol is excellent for close combat. You rarely miss in close proximity; hence, try to practice fast aiming and reflexes using a pistol. The gun works best in a room, and you can go for easy kills by aiming for headshots and vital hits.

 

If you wish to kill from mid and long-range practice landing headshots using the M4AI or an Ak-47. These arms have significant recoil but give you impressive kills. Lastly, the AWP rifle offers you critical hits-you don't have to aim for the head, just make sure you never miss.

 

Watch Games

 

Watching other people play gives you exposure. You learn various ways of incorporating attacks in different maps. Professionals make you work harder to get to their level. Online gamers also offer useful tips that help you get better at CS: GO. Above all, ensure that you consistently practice for you to get better at shooting and killing your enemies.
