Near perfect video, however I just wanted to say that counter strafing has been proven unnecessary in val by multiple creators because the time to stop in valorant is a lot faster than CS it isnt bad, just unnecessary

[@FocusFPS]

Actually a really good point; imma pin this

[@RealShaggy]

It doesn't need to be necessary to be a useful tool though

[@perspective7131]

@@RealShaggy right I didnt say it wasn't useful, just unnecessary for newer players, it might overcomplicate how they take gunfights, for others it may not (I was part of the former)

[@RealShaggy]

@@perspective7131 Understandable. I just know that I was significantly worse at the game until I learned what counterstrafing was, it's helped me greatly in my gunfights.

[@SnowMexicann]

@@RealShaggy Right, but it still isnt useful unless you come from CS and its just second nature to you to counter strafe

Hands down, this is one of the most accurate and helpful tips I've ever seen, because as a silver player, this helps a lot, I always train my reflexes more rathen than aiming, because relying on reflexes is the same as aiming aimlessly and hoping to hit someone, for me.

[@FocusFPS]

thank you for the supportive words :) btw is there anything else you feel like you would want to learn about? Just trying to figure out more topics to cover

[@sky3_ow]

​@@FocusFPSkinda hard to explain, but when i played overwatch, there was this concept of "ebb and flow". It was all about ult economy, when to attack, retreat or hold ground. It really helped me understand the game and to be better at it. Valorant probably has something similar, so a video about that would be nice

[@Wexer0002]

​@@FocusFPScould u perhaps talk about economy when to save when to buy half shield vandal and atuff

Thank you so much for this Focus. My aim, crosshair placement etc is good but i’m very inconsistent. Taking my time during a gunfight waiting a quick second to actually aim, and being a harder target to shoot made me so much more consistent

1 thing you forgot. Alot of new FPS player are so focus on their crosshair that their vision gets obscured. Instead of focusing on crosshair, you have to actively scan the rest of your screen (monitor) to locate enemies.

I recently just got into Valorant but my friends were already into other fps games before so their tips and instructions were very unclear to me 🥲 I’ve been playing for a month and I feel as if there’s no improvement to my aim and while my main objective in that game is to have fun with friends, it is discouraging to never even reach 10+ kills :’) so yeah, thanks so much for this!

[@TheGrandaddy]

Just watched this video after Valorant dropped on console, been waiting 3 years to play the game and I finally can and this video just taught me everything I need to know about shooting, as a cod player I spray way too much and I panic because it was forgiving in cod thank you SO MUCH this is very helpful

[@the_realchief-fr]

short video and still more useful then longer vids , very nice explanation, great vid overall.

[@athenos1]

4:43 important tech when you ult with Sova you must try to go right and left or left and right to "brain" your enemy in a situation like that they will take their knife and try to dodge your ult laser but if you start to go on a side and then go to the opposite side it will surprise them and it works a lot, if you watch pro plays they do that a lot lot lot

counter-strafing is clicking the opposite movement key to stop your momentum going in the original direction. it is not the same thing as strafing from side to side and deadzoning.

[@jimbo899]

This has genuinely been one of the hardest shooters I’ve ever learnt because I’ve only ever played “call of duty” style gameplay. Or just any console game in general really. I’ve played cod, halo, rainbow six, etc, but I’ve never played a game where it’s much more beneficial to stop, aim, and shoot a couple bullets. Finally just started getting the muscle memory to not spray but before I figured this mechanic out I was loosing my mind lol

The first tip was the best for me cuz when im not panicking i mostly one tap everyone but when im not feeling it i instantly panic and spray instead of moving my crosshair to adjust it

[@nahomdereje4348]

this is the only tutorial video i would ever watch

[@lastsecond959]

Great vid! And I have something to add as additional info. Counter-strafing has its name because in CS even after you release the strafe key, your character won't stop immediately but it will still move in the direction for a brief moment - making your shot inaccurate when you might think that you've stopped moving. The idea of counter-strafing is by pressing the *opposite movement button* to make your character immediately stop moving, hence why the term is *Counter-strafe*. In Valorant, counter-strafing is a useful but unnecessary technique since your character will almost immediately stop moving by just letting go of the key (you might not even realize it). Many Valorant players use this technique because of muscle memory from CS or simply because they're taught that way. In some other videos, I've noticed many comments saying that deadzone/-ing is just valorant word for counter-strafing when it's actually not. To avoid misinformation, here's what they meant in short, - Counter-strafing is when you press the opposing movement key to stop (and to shoot). - Deadzoning is when you rhythmically move sideways and stop (very low to 0 velocity) and shoot, then repeat right after so that you're not a stationary target. To do deadzoning, you can counter-strafe (pressing the opposite movement button to stop) and shoot OR you can either simply let go of the movement key to stop and shoot, then repeat this process. Deadzoning doesn't necessarily mean you have to keep moving to left or right, you can also vary it by moving e.g. left -left-right or right-left-right-right-left. The goal is simply to be unpredictable to your enemy in the duel while also to not make you an easy stationary target. Not to be confused as well with "Jiggle/Jiggling" where you *swiftly* move to one direction (typically to left or right) and then you press & hold the opposing key while letting go of the initial key so that you immediately move back to your original position. This is why it's called "Jiggle peeking".

[@nooob_crafter6477]

you actually never need to let go at all to deadzone and still have no movement error

[@millysadventure6087]

I had no idea about the shooting error graph. Definitely going to sit in the range or a custom to get my timing right. Thank you!

[@BocchiRock420]

Finally, I can start actually hitting my enemies. Jokes aside, this video is really informative, despite being short. Thank you for the video!

[@FocusFPS]

welcome to the team ♥

[@tommyvdgf]

what id like to add: in deathmatch, just play them with your own set rules, make it hard for yourself (eg. always let enemy shoot first, NO BODYSHOT) for counterstrafing, this is 100% a mechanic you need to master, there’s 2 types, in the open, you can change how far you move left and right, or around a wall, practise this around a sage wall in the range, both sides.

[@sly_edit2078]

Really good video, even as an immo 3 i still struggle with not stressing in gunfight

[@kiramini22]

I can't stress enough how important point 1 is. just STAY CALM. wait. be shure your crosshair is on the enemy BEFORE you shoot (preferablyat at head level). then, and ONLY then, shoot. just take your time. great video btw

[@BOT--dg2vo]

[@valorantshorts326]

I love this Video, Clean and Simple. Thank you.

[@Jamz16]

Ok I definitely agree that you should stay calm during an engangement and not resort to spray and pray but in my own personal opinion I feel that loading into a game of deathmatch to practice sometimes doesn't work due to better players who are complete sweats or getting surrounded by several enemies. But I do get your point and except for some unlucky deathmatches your advice is pretty solid. Also 100th comment lets go XD

To add a point to not confuse newer player, counter strafing imho is not the same as dead zoning. Counter strafing is a CS tech to shorten the time for the character to stand still. While dead zoning is shooting during a dead zone
