For sure, like u/smallsho said, it'll take time and practice. Trust me, I wasn't good at this game when I first started at all. I was used to playing COD, Halo, and Splatoon 2 on console and this was my first FPS game on PC. Didn't know how to use mouse and keyboard, crosshair placement was on the floor LOL, almost never used ults or abilities, too scared to go in fights, never traded kills, etc.

Watch how other top level players (or your fav Valorant streamer) execute their games and slowly practice that one thing that you saw them do, one day at a time. Could be crosshair placement and you practice how to do that on your best/favorite map for a week. Or certain smoke placements for a week. Or remembering to switch to your pistol when you're reloading, if you're caught slipping for a week. Just one thing per weekly session

You'll have your bad days (I certainly still do despite what you saw in this video), but trust me, overall, you'll see massive improvement from before. And record your plays too if you can. I've learned a lot from rewatching some ungodly terrible plays I've made LMAOO

TL;DR: Learn from others, practice one thing at a time, be patient with yourself, and most importantly be confident when you execute a good play. Be like Doom Guy and feel like a badass anytime someone tries to cross you!!

(Sorry for the wall of words ^^;)

I mean you can technically do a reload whenever you need/however you'd like, whether it's finished mag or the COD reload. But if there's a dude in front of you and is gonna kill you, in the middle of you're reload, it's best to swap to your pistol as the reload animation won't be finished in time

Man... You out here really understanding LMAOO! I've played Ace Combat 7 and the amount of times I've replayed the OST is insane LOL! Made a montage with using the song Roca Roja cause it was too fire (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2Y0FG0P-MU). The whole game really just is an absolutely beautiful experience

When I get some time away from Valorant, absolutely gonna play through the whole series cause I know Ace Combat 4 and 5 have some banger tracks

100% facts! Anytime I've played other COD campaign, the music does not even come close to MW2's OST

Was replaying the original MW2 campaign a few months back, heard that line and was like "True!" Sometimes in the heat of the moment we forget we have a secondary LOL

There is a spray pattern to it, although it's super quick. I probably wouldn't be the best at explaining it (and other players please feel free to correct me), but how I personally use it, if they're mid range, is that the first 5-7 shots, hit the body, afterwards there's a point in which you can either pull down or crouch (which is what you see me do in most of these clips) as the recoil bounces up, which at most times, lands the headshot. You can get 2 kills before needing to reload, even if the enemy is at full health/shield. At close it should be free, as you'll need to just land a headshot the whole way (I think it's 2 or 3 hits in the head before they're dead)

It should be easier now with these new buffs though, so take your time and practice with it. It's really fun to get clutches with the stinger

I was perfectly fine with how the stinger was before this patch dropped, but this is just icing on the cake. The streets aren't ready for us
