Aim smart. Shoot smarter. Move with purpose.
🔫 1. Shooting Basics
✅ Tap, Burst, or Spray?

Tapping = Single shots → best at long range.

Bursting = 2–4 shots quickly → mid-range.

Spraying = Holding down mouse1 → close-range only, learn recoil.

🚶‍♂️ Never Shoot While Moving

Movement affects accuracy heavily.

Stop moving completely (aka counter-strafe) before shooting:

If moving left (A), tap right (D) to stop → shoot.

Practice in Deathmatch or Workshop maps.

🎯 2. Recoil & Spray Patterns

Each weapon has a predictable spray pattern. To control it:

Pull your mouse in the opposite direction of the spray.

Example: AK-47 sprays up and to the right → pull down and slightly left.

📘 Common Spray Patterns (First 10 bullets):
Weapon Pattern Direction Control Tip
AK-47 Up → right → left Pull down, then left a bit
M4A4 Up → slight right → left Smoother than AK
M4A1-S Mostly up Easier to manage
FAMAS Up and shaky Best in short bursts
Galil Up → right Unstable, burst preferred
SMGs Wide, random-ish Close range only, move & spray

🎯 Use aim training maps like “Recoil Master” from the Steam Workshop to practice.

📌 3. Crosshair Placement

Always keep your crosshair at head height.

Pre-aim common angles and corners before you peek.

Don't stare at the ground or sky—eyes up, gun ready.

👟 4. Movement & Shooting
Movement Accuracy Effect
Running Terrible accuracy
Walking (Shift) Slight accuracy drop
Standing still Best accuracy
Crouching Improves accuracy
Jumping Random (bad)

Counter-strafing is essential: tap opposite direction key to stop instantly.

Jump peeks, crouch sprays, and shoulder peeks are all advanced techniques to learn over time.

💥 5. Weapon-Specific Tips
🟧 AK-47 (T-side)

One-shot headshot potential.

Strong recoil: learn the full spray pattern.

🟦 M4A1-S / M4A4 (CT-side)

M4A1-S: easier spray, quieter, good for beginners.

M4A4: more bullets, better for spraying in holds.

🟨 AWP

One shot = one kill (mostly).

You must stand still while shooting for perfect accuracy.

Use movement tricks (peek and stop) to shoot and reposition.

🔫 Pistols

Glock: burst for body shots, unreliable headshots.

USP-S: great for headshots, tap carefully.

Deagle: powerful but slow—don’t spam, take your time.

P250/Tec-9/Five-Seven: good eco/pistol round weapons.

📦 6. Economy & Buying Smart

Understand your team’s economy:

Save = low money round → buy pistols or nothing.

Full-buy = rifles, armor, utility.

Force-buy = buy what you can (usually a bad economy decision).

Buy wisely:

Always get Kevlar + Helmet when possible.

Balance gun vs utility—flashes, smokes, and molotovs win rounds.

🧠 7. Practice Tools

Deathmatch servers: for raw aim training.

Aim Botz, Recoil Master, Training_aim_csgo2 maps.

Yprac series: Map-specific drills (peeking, crosshair placement, etc.)

✅ Final Tips

Warm up before ranked play.

Don't panic-spray—control your shots.

Watch pro matches or streamers to learn positioning and recoil control.

Play offline with bots to learn spray patterns in a relaxed setting.
