UT3: Make your aim better |
If you are playing a fps game (first person shooter) the most significant aspect of winning is your accuracy. When your foe has better aim then you do it's quite difficult to win, but still possible with superior strategy and maybe some good luck.
This article is about ut3, but most of what's in it works for all fps-games.
Most of the time, the player with the superior aim will play aggressive and that will cause the other player(s) to feel difficulty and he/they won't be able to perform at 100%. This makes it easier to win for the person with the better accuracy.
There are a few simple ways to practise on your aim. But first you need to change all your settings to the most useful ones. In Ut3 this means: - Setting to weapon hand to hidden, so it doesn't block the view for part of the screen. - Turning weaponbob to false, to raise the stability in accuracy. (weaponbob is the effect of a weapon going up and down slightly while on the move) - Turn landingshake to false, to raise aim when landing. (landingshake makes you slightly duck when you land from a jump or fall) - Set graphic quality and resolution to a setting where you have at least 40+ fps in heavy combat.
Now that we've done that we can concentrate on the other ways to improve aim. It is significant to get the fact that there are two types of weapons.
The 1st type of weapons are weapons that instantly hit. You accuracy directly at the adversary and if your aim is accurate you hit when you shoot. The 2nd type of weapons are projectile based weapons. They fire a projectile (a flak shell for instance) and it takes some time before it hits. So you have to predict where your opponent is gonna be and predict how fast the projectile hits. This makes most of these weapons only effective for short and medium distances.
Aim can only be enhanced by training, there are no fast shortcuts. However when you train with the specific goal of improving your aim, it really speeds up things and you can become an "aim artist" pretty fast. If you only "train" with normal matches your accuracy will still increase, just not as fast. And you'll hit the dead spot sooner, where your accuracy doesn't improve anymore until you use a better training method.
When you're practicing on the 1st type of weapon your accuracy for the 2nd type of weapon will also improve. And the other way around is also true. But nevertheless the training methods are especially focused on one of those 2 weapons types.
To train the direct hit type weapons: First start an offline game without any bots. Now let's use a cheat code so you can focus entirely on your accuracy. Open the console (press the ~ button) and type "loaded", now press enter for all weapons and infinite ammunition.
Choose the shock rifle and shoot a shockball (secondary fire) now shoot at the shockball with a shockbeam (primary fire) to create a shock combo where the shock ball explodes.
You're going to practice fireing shock combos while moving around. shoot them while running and dodging to make it hard on you.
If you do this on regular basis your accuracy will boost pretty fast. : After a while you can make it more difficult. For instance use a cheat code to decrease the size of the shockball. There are a few more advanced tricks, but this above exercise gives the best results for new players. Novice and skilled players still improve with this training method, but there are better methods for those players; which I won't describe here because Of length.
To train the projectile type weapons:
This training is actually a lot more fun, but less helpful. Still way better (for increasing accuracy) then just playing a match though. Start a game with a friend (just the 2 of you). Choose a weapon that you want to train and only use that weapon to try and kill your buddy. The friend should not use any weapon and should try to evade everything you fire. This way you train that particular weapon and (s)he trains avoiding projectiles.
Switch turns during the game and change what weapon you/(s)he use(s) for some additional training and fun.
With these two training methods you're bound to increase your accuracy in a short time period.
For additional training you can select one weapon and ONLY use that weapon for seven days.
