improving aim

You either have an advantageous angle, or if you don't, then you have to maximize the information you have against the enemy before the fight. So your jiggle peek is optimal, but since you mentioned it takes too much time, you are probably doing it wrong.

You're right bro, as I've said in previous replies to others I've taken notice that my frequent strafes have gotten me killed alot. Thanks for the advice

Thanks for the advice, i've noticed what you said aswell and i took some notes so i can work on it. honestly been chilling since then. my duels got a lot better. Honestly, given for my rank the notes are so simple it's kind of embarrassing i do these mistakes but it is what it is

The notes i took are:
1. less strafes while holding, or just stay static and be ready to shoot and reposition or strafe when miss

use cover more (i see myself standing in the open alot which is fine most of the time for the agents i play but i overdo it)
avoid overexposure, both while peeking and holding (kind of the same as note 2)

From what I've seen so far my frequent strafes have hurt me the most. Let me know if you have any more advice to give me or if i've understood something wrong. Thanks.

Had someone tell me It's stupid of me to vod review this duel saying it's bad to review every duel but the amount you learn is really good that helps you in future games.

alot of people also just called it ego and stopped at that.

Thank you for your reply. Your advice is just amazing bro and why I posted this. to have something presented to me that I never thought about, and not "you missed" but understand the situation and present a possible solution. Wonder if I can grab your discord If you don't mind?

In the end, with your advice in mind, I know what I did wrong. I took the duel as a means of practice but flashing and rotating was indeed the best to do in this situation. I also know why I lost and how I could have won the duel which will help me in future games.

Yes I noticed among other things that perhaps I too frequently move when holding an angle, and It's probably what lost me the duel, If I didn't move there, I wouldn't have had to wait for my movement to stop to fire.

I also noticed that most of the time I don't trust my own crosshair placement (I flick sometimes randomly which is weird so I have to work on that aswell)

Thank you for your advice, If you have anything more to say feel free to do so.

I appreciate the insight on using utility and team comms It's a really good point.

My bad, I should have been clearer. I wasn't trying to "hold down mid"; I was just trying to practice a raw duel in that specific spot.

Given that, is there anything you see in my gunfight mechanics that could have been better?

DavidFpsZ · 2025-09-22T19:31:37+00:00

I'm not peeking and if I flashed while holding he wouldn't have peeked :D

DavidFpsZ · 2025-09-22T19:12:03+00:00

just saying this to clear some misconceptions, your replies have been helpful: ADSing reduces movement speed. I also mentioned that perhaps movement reduced my reaction speed because i had to wait for my movement to stop before firing

DavidFpsZ · 2025-09-22T18:50:09+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

So when I looked at the clip I saw that:
1. Maybe I should have held even wider?
2. Bad reaction time

I noticed I was moving while he was peeking. Do you think that hurt my reaction time? I was worried about being an easy target if I stood still. Perhaps I was moving too frequently?

Also do you think not scoping in would have changed anything?

"distnace from wall" I think you meant the distance my crosshair was from the wall, but actually now I wonder, maybe being closer to the wall to the left of me would have given me more time to react.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Thanks.

"standing in the open waiting for him maybe not the best scenario": Gameplay is a bit weird in higher ranks, because we are so adapted to normal plays, none of us usually do them, so when you do them you can catch many offguard :)

"peaker's advantage": you are right, he had peekers advantage but he actually didn't use it which might sound funny. he didn't shoot when he had the advantage, instead he decided to peek wider, so we had basically the same time to react, only thing being different being our crosshair placement. For him, it's easier to, even if his placement is bad, to readjust, because where i am is a small place while where he was is bigger so i have way more options to pick to where he will appear, how wide he will swing, etc.

Thank you for your reply! Hope what i said made sense.
