Very great and correct tips! Im a former csgo pro player and im taking my time getting into destiny after years of break. From that perspective I can tell your tips are extremely valuable and genuinly help! But some of the tips you give, for example "how to be calm" with the advanced vision technique is a tip rather for pro players / or advanced people with good aim at least. Some of the tips do not apply for new to -> middle classed players. Still amazing videos subbed, liked, and merry christmas from germany

[@Mogthrasir1989]

All very good advice! On point No. 12 (How to be calm), the process you described is a real thing practiced in Kendo (and other martial arts) called "Enzan no metsuke", which translates loosely into "viewing a mountain in the distance" - because that describes how your eyes should feel. It is taught as a method of preventing anticipation. By not fixing focus on any one point, you avoid basing your moves on their feet, their eyes, or their hands and thus you can't get baited into an attack or defense. Combine that with point No. 8 (Disengagement) and No. 21A (3rd Party), and you get a phenomenon taught in aerial combat called 'Target Fixation", which pilots are told to work against because chasing a target you *think* you have cornered is a good way to get shot down by someone you may or may not be aware of. I just wanted to mention these because you said in the video that you came to these through your own experience. They are totally legit science and everyone needs to put them into practice. Except opponents in my lobby: They need to know this is all totally BS. Ignore this video.

[@CastleContent]

Wow. This was such an awesome read - thank you!!

[@divinesoul23]

The ultimate goal is "Mushin" or a "no mind" Zen-like state. It's a bit harder to achieve in video games due to some level of sensory disconnect, but it can be done.

Former competitive R6 player/coach. This is some pretty solid content and it delivers on points I don’t see a lot of places very well. I’d love to add a ton to it but I think for a short list this does very well. Thanks for putting out this video!

[@CastleContent]

Hey thank you!

[@polardhg2795]

Sure you were, “minecrafter”

[@realteabaggins]

the best advice i got from this video is to look at the target when aiming, not the reticle. It was so crazy when I realized the reason why I kept missing so many shots was because I was looking at my reticle and trying to place my reticle to the target instead of focusing where the target is. Once I broke this habit, I immediately saw improvements to my accuracy. My hand would instinctively place the reticle on the target for me. The difference was night and day. I just wish I had seen this video sooner. Thanks a bunch!

[@YeahTheDuckweed]

i was so excited to get home and try being conscious of this but no it turns out i was always doing this and actually just can't aim

[@OzziCop]

Over this last year I discovered how important sleep was when it comes to video games (and every part of life). Back when I used to aim train a lot, I noticed that on days where I got less sleep it was a lot harder to get close to my high scores. This was especially true for tracking and micro flicking. I downloaded a sleep app to track my sleep, and learned about sleep debt. To keep it simple, your body basically operates off of your last two weeks of sleep. Every hour of sleep you lose stays with you for two weeks. You can make it up by sleeping more though. Everyone needs 7-8 hours, no way around it, and if you keep your sleep debt low, you will be shocked at how much it affects your gaming. If anyone reads this I challenge you to do some research on sleep debt, get it under control if it’s not, and see how much better you play. It’s insane.

[@ManOfCole]

In my opinion, if you're playing on a controller on PC, it's almost a necessity to crank that sensitivity up past 10 if you can handle it. Then, you can modify your ADS sense to something a bit more manageable. This helps with maintaining dexterity in close-quarters fights with shotguns while also maintaining precision and stability while ADS-ing with a weapon.

[@xoFlash69]

True that’s why I play at 19 or 20.

[@joeg4707]

I agree.

[@SilkyJohnson7]

Really isn't a huge difference from 10-20 sens

[@logan.dynastyaintdone]

Dude I've watched alot of your videos and I have to say this is BY FAR the best video I've seen related to PVP. I'm decent at PvP. Like 200+ flaws blah blah blah mostly shotgunning. Now to keep the game interesting I've switched to sniping alot more(no I don't mean chappy) and ur tip about about always peeking on the left side or a corner has helped me alot in trials. There were times where I was getting domed by another sniper before I could even see them and literally thought Bungie servers/latency/ cheating was happening when it was actually just the whole camera angle. Wow man just wow. Idk how u figured that out but mad props. Also I've been getting alot of my GM NF friends into PvP lately and I've been trying to give them tips and what not but this video will help them much more than I could have. Thank you for your time and effort into this video. My friends and I greatly appreciate it.

On tip 21A - I'm accustomed to picking a target, and raising Hell on that target. 40-60% of the time, that leads to trading. That, or being too aggressive, or misplacing my nade. I'm more accustomed to picking that target, and taking it down, with or without cost. This can lead to trading, but as you said, it's better to take someone down than leave both standing.

@@needa9164 vulpecula is pretty good with the full auto mod but you gotta make sure the range is somewhat long. Telesto is ok but you can get this fusion called the snorri and it's really good or I'd try using the likely suspect fusion with firmly planted adagio on it. Once you you feel more comfortable with handcannons I'd personally try using a 120 or 140 rpm one since 180s can be good but you need a very specific roll for them to dominate.

Tip regarding the camera positioning and being able to see people before you see others. Remember if this happens to you to not get tilted. I found myself thinking people were cheating because I couldn't ever see them, but it just turned out they had the better angle. Whenever I die to something that just seems impossible I tend to just remind myself they had the better angle.

One thing I’ve never understood about the “bait” if you push the corner only to reverse so the opponent slides out, don’t You just occupy the main radar slice on his screen?

What's funny is that because I have a lazy eye, I can't actually focus on the crosshair of my weapon. I am always looking around and I can never look into the middle of my screen because that takes too long to focus. In a way, having a lazy has given me this good habit of instead of looking down the barrel, following the target or scanning the whole screen and automatically controlling recoil based on how I might need it. Also nice sensitivity... That's the same as me

Most of them were in the 12-16 range with some ads modifier applied .6-1.0. It’s interesting because yes shadow does play on a low sensitivity as a pc controller player but yeah surprising the majority of top controller players were on the higher end.

This new sandbox is bad for maps with long range open areas. People tend to group up and stay at the edges of maps. It also seems that more people are afraid to enter crucible solo. Out of every 10 matches I play I would say 2 are competitive. The rest are mercies. I do think the skill cooldowns are in a good place though. Maybe people just need to figure out how to play in this sandbox.
