BEST AIM TIPS FOR THE BANDIT EVO IN HALO INFINITE RANKED!

[@LateNightHalo]

It’s crazy that the DMR is back to being halo’s main competitive weapon

[@MagicCityFLA]

Ik, the little boy halo reach player in me is crying in tears of joy and sadness because I have to relearn how to use it LOL

[@timothywatkins4989]

Yeah but it has no bloom. If only reach hadn’t gone crazy with it with every gun. It’s like the devs were obsessed.

[@wishuwood]

For me its the little things, like the shot timing or the 5 shots as opposed to 4. Or the reload speed lol. My muscle memory is all confused. But overall i think its a decent change but they 100% need to remove the old bandits from the wall guns

[@topshelfjosh9239]

The bandit takes more of every skill. Left stick aim+right stick aim even more sometimes. Having ur strafe down, using the environment, map awareness to get that first shot or two on them etc. Using the bandit also incentivizes picking up other weapons throughout the map a a little more too.

[@johnonhouse]

😂😂😂😂

[@vigilantestylez]

I think the Bandit EVO has changed the way people should strafe as well. A lot of sweaty movements jumping and whatnot can get someone killed fast when a skilled player is using the Bandit EVO. I have been told that a longer wider strafe is better with the Bandit EVO instead of small strafes, and quick spamming crouch strafes.

[@AboveAverageCody]

I agree with the strafes but I really don’t know how viable the crouching is. The thing is pretty forgiving with the retical over the enemy so the up and down of the crouch shouldn’t throw someone off a whole lot, and will only slow down the wide strafe.

[@vigilantestylez]

@@AboveAverageCody exactly. I meant to say that long strafing is better than the spammy crouch strafes. I notice people are still doing it and it's instant kill with the Bandit EVO. Also, learning that jumping is a much bigger mistake now than it used to be, such a bad habit for me right now. I am just feeding enemies.

[@GallowayJesse]

Crouching doesn't have as much verticle head movement as it did in Halo 5

[@JohnArceane]

Popping in and out of zoom with the AR has already improved my effectiveness and accuracy greatly (my accuracy has jumped from high 20%s to low-mid 40%s since I started focusing on zoom sense), and for a weapon like the EVO where patience matters more than lead downrange, having that reduced sensitivity when you pop into scope is definitely going to help a lot. Really looking forward to using the EVO, I might finally poke into Ranked while the environment is still changing.

[@MrBaller4Life14]

As a M&K player I first thought this gun might be great... its the complete opposite, this turned me from a 1.88 KD player to a 0.59 KD player over night. So far this feels like it makes M&K harder.

[@Swoop.]

It’s tough since we don’t have the cushion of the BRs 4 bullet burst. Also don’t have the easy swipe and kill with the BR when they are one shot now

[@AboveAverageCody]

If it’s this big of a jump there’s more going on than just aim. I obviously play controller, but I really do think tracking and consistent aim is bigger than ever with this gun. Slower aim is better oddly enough.

[@MrBaller4Life14]

@@AboveAverageCody I agree 100% regarding the tracking, thats actually why this gun is harder. Tracking on M&K is one of the disadvantages compared to controller. I use to be a controller player but switched just before Halo infinite came out (long story why lol).

[@umbertomuniz866]

Thanks for the tips. I have the most challenging time getting the last headshot in. I feel like the reticle feels smaller on the bandit than the battle rifle. I really have to be precise, take my time, and not spam the bandit lol

[@juanvaldez7233]

Great video have been struggling with the bandit totally agree that it takes more skill than the BR

Can’t wait to try out the new starts been out of town but I was pretty cold w the h5 pistol so I’m pretty hyped

[@Jiordanios]

I don't get that same dopamine from a kill like i do the BR

[@Glazydays54]

Has anyone suffered with crazy desync and screen stuttering last night? It was fine in the first day of release but the second was very messy for me

[@caramelthunder1980]

They made the evo controller friendly. Yesterday, all the mnk players were still shooting between 35-45% accuracy on average in all the games I was in in ranked. But the controller players were averaging over 50%. On top of that, it can now kill better at long range than the commando, so it feels like controller players are even stronger now. I'm disappointed but no point in complaining, it's the reality of the situation now. I wish they would fix melee at least. I would probably get 20 a game if that wasn't broken.

[@ItsMrBlueSky]

Don’t use 16k dpi and you’ll probably hit more shots @ all pc players 😂😂 I played 400 dpi for siege But halo is better on a controller anyway 👌🏻

[@caramelthunder1980]

@@ItsMrBlueSky I doubt any, or at least most, are using 16k dpi. There's no reason to do a 720 in a millisecond.

That’s cute.. because 30-50 accuracy..🥸💩..I understand everyone controller + KBM need to walk before they can 🏃‍♂️ doe’

[@7FDocMef]

I feel once you get the muscle memory for it MnK will be hard to compete with. Yeah controller does help but it comes down to the user

[@noah_hines]

Looking forward to your controller settings video! I know you always focus on sensitivity settings, but I’m also curious about button mappings and if using default mappings will hold me back in the long run. Keep grinding Spartan!

[@siggma_]

I'm an MNK player, for some reason I am finding it next to IMPOSSIBLE to hit that last shot in the perfect with the bandit evo, but the second i get my hands on a normal bandit rifle, i hit perfects like its nobody's business, I love the gun dont get me wrong, but i feel like they changed the values of bullet magnetism on it compared to the normal bandit rifle, can anyone confirm/deny this? Maybe im just tweakin idk

[@jkwitt1329]

I’ve noticed that you have to slow down your gameplay with the BEVO to has success. Doesn’t feel as athletic as the BR

[@AboveAverageCody]

Idk if you necessarily have to, but for some play styles this is accurate. I find I’m much more confident and actually moving fast with the bandit as opposed to the BR

[@deadplayerstatus6647]

anyone notice that in the medals post game, it registers the bandit as an AR?

[@quentinflinn1529]

Dude I played against you the other day man. I knew your gamertag looked familiar. Not sure which team won but cool to run into you on Infinite!

[@smartplays4192]

Needed this video thanks cody

Much love bro hope it helps🙏🏻

[@TheShapingSickness]

Only thing I like about the bandit Evo is that picking up the BR makes short work of the enemies 😂

[@zachtaylor5312]

Yep it makes the BR feel like a power weapon

[@UTgohan]

The bandit has a faster ttk though…so I don’t understand this lol

[@drummerAVA]

This weapon feels PERFECT

[@AboveAverageCody]

I really do love it

[@mzeroc1er]

So I was watching your strafing video about changing your max input threshold from Max out to the polar opposite, but when you were in your settings in this video it looked like you changed it back to Max again, have you changed your opinion about the max input threshold when it comes to the bandit Evo?

[@AboveAverageCody]

Actually switched back quite a while ago. I discuss it briefly in the settings video I did last week for season 5 but it wasn’t for the bandit

[@mzeroc1er]

He’s right, I found it easier to play with the bandit when I lowered my sensitivity.

[@gilbertomartinez8639]

What field of view do you use with this settings? Thanks for your video 😅 I got better with the bandit. I use to be a tryhard on Halo 5 when I was younger. Now that I am an adult I do not have to much time to play and I am a mess on competitive 😔

[@pogchamp7983]

I've bumped my sensitivity up and it's helped lol... personal preference I guess... find it hard to track that last headshot if it's too slow

[@AboveAverageCody]

Or course, again this is just what I’ve found helps me a lot

[@MattHernandez-t9d]

Good job putting the first tip video out for the new weapon. -B1gxbrush

[@edgetransit3320]

I love halo and the new bandit. My only issue with the game is that right stick aiming punishes you. Halo never had that issue. I think it's more noob friendly that's why they did it. I don't know. Either way, nice video. I think the main thing is learning how all the aim settings work and finding the right one for you. I always say worry about aim first, then how fast you can turn. A lot of ppl just wanna move fast lol. Sacrificing aim.

[@AboveAverageCody]

Well tbh with you, I only think left stick aim is only so important because of how necessary strafing is. If jumping didn’t lock you into one position, right stick aim would be crucial as it was in say H3 for example. I enjoy games having different feels, metas, etc, but I do get where you’re coming from. But big time agree people focus too much on moving, not enough on aiming.

[@EXp3RTPANDA]

If you are already decent with the BR, treat the BEVO just like it. Just remember that’s it’s semi. Was actually shocked to find out Bandit starts was official & not a rumor. First day of the season, I had the mindset of “Aight, gotta learn the rhythm all over again”. It wasn’t until I got my first perfect I realized, “Heh, it feels like a Semi-BR”. The only difference is that, it’s a 5 shot compared to a 4. I’ve gotten so used to 4s that it’s basically muscle memory for me to stop body shots & head shot the 4th “Burst” lol. As for the comment mentioning strafes, short strafes/crouch strafes mixups still work to a an extent. You Just have to hit your shots ;). As for low sense for better tracking, you can easily argue that reaction time for new targets is gonna be frustrating. Yes you may win your 1v1’s, but your not thinking about the outcome of the match. However many times it may happen, I’d rather lose some of my 1v1s w/ high sense & still win the games with good comms & team shots. With that put into consideration, there is always gonna be that one fight that determines the match. I’d like to welcome new players to infinite, hope you enjoy your stay!!!. As for the usuals….see you when I see you 😈👅.

[@stefanpayne9199]

But Cody, I do have the calmest hands this side of the Mississippi 😂😂😂

[@twlgz5192]

Onxy player first 2 seasons and stopped playing, came back after hwc to this shit lol. Im a bot with this gun. The left stick aiming is on point tho good tip.

[@SH00By27]

Yo Cody.. if I’m not mistaken you have 2070 super.. I do as well. Having trouble maintaining more than 120fps without crashing. I know this is a stream, but I notice a health 170 and have seen you have max at 240 in diff videos. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@kmw5100]

How do you avoid people killing you on the flank with such low sens? I feel like even on 3/6/6 I have a lot of trouble turning around quick enough to fight off an opponent that has flanked me.

[@AboveAverageCody]

Tbh in Halo you definitely want to keep the enemy in front of you as much as possible. It’s inevitable to have a flank sometimes, but if it’s happening all the time you may be moving too fast, or not anticipating enemies very well. Try to focus more on where the enemy is spawning, and how many enemies are up, and you should see some improvement. Also focus on where your teammates are. But if an enemy is already behind you and shooting, that’s a tough fight to win no matter the sens. Hope this helps

[@kmw5100]

I probably am moving too fast tbh. I primarily played very fast games like rocket league, apex legends, titanfall 2, and CoD over the past few years and my last time playing halo until recently was Halo 3 where you were sort of forced to play a certain pace with no sprinting@@AboveAverageCody

[@kmw5100]

to add: I know RL isn't a shooter, but it does condition you to be constantly moving, and fast.

[@AboveAverageCody]

Yeah tbh this was my first competitive Halo, after years of cod. So I had to drastically change my gameplay. Also still have trouble with it as Halo is super unique in how it’s played.

[@NeighborhoodWatchMann]

how do i suck with the bandit but am a sharp shooter with the pistol?

[@toddmerriott6901]

[@AboveAverageCody]

Keep practicing man! Take these tips into either octagon, or academy training and just get some reps in. Promise it will pay off 🔥

[@UNSCarmory17]

My reticle on the bandit is super small, even when I change the FOV it stays the same size, any way I can change this??

[@TheNerdProblems]

Haven’t gotten to play as I’m on the road for work, but I’m hoping this is an mnk players dream.

[@rex2100]

It's not. Br can be forgiving and you have 3 rounds per burst to get a headshot. Single shot sounds nice but it's not the first body shots that are hard, it's the final headshot to kill

[@TheNerdProblems]

@@rex2100 which seems like it would be easier for someone aiming with a mouse

[@SuperstarBR]

Im trying to jump less in gunfights to not have such a predictable target and you recommend it in the last shot?

[@AboveAverageCody]

Yeah you’ll see pros do it a lot as well. But try to not jump unless it’s at the end of the fight, and it’s situational. You’ll learn better when to and not to as you think more about how your fights play out

[@DarthVodka]

Like Cody said jumping should be only used on the last shot if you do jump. Don’t jump mid fight since you are easy to track since you can’t change direction mid air. Good luck my man.

[@seats151]

Can someone tell me why they changed to DMR instead of BR in ranked haven’t played ranked in awhile

[@AboveAverageCody]

A lottttt of people wanted it, and in many regards it increases the skill gap (many high players and pros felt the br was too cheesy skill wise). And tbh (at least in my opinion) it feels a little more consistent on the choppy servers.

[@seats151]

@@AboveAverageCody thank you for the information. So they made ranked more like Halo Reach

[@tohur]

This is a MnK gun period .. I get so many perfects with mouse it aint funny.. I find 600-800 DPI with a bit of playing with the in game sensitivity works great as with such a low DPI very rarely miss shots.. but I will suggest to turn on mouse acceleration on such low mouse DPI's as hard AF to turn your player other wise

[@QuentinWells-e7v]

No one: Me discovering halo in 2023 😇

[@bobdylan1968]

So 60 percent accuracy is high then? Was hitting that number every single game last night. I love it. I just need my teams to get good with it lol. Went posituve every game, way positive, and still lost half hahaha. I am SOOOOO much better at ranked now. I was used to halo 5, snd your abilitiy to play aggressively and still come out on top. Still survive. With the br in infinire, you could not beat two people period. Unless they severly messed up. Youre going to end up one shot after MOST one v ones with the br. And the teammates can fly in and clean up withoit even really Trying with the br from anywhere on the map. Bandit allows for you to display individual skill gaps via gun play alone. Where before jt really became more about positioning and your team playing together at higher levels. At higher levels everyone can hit the exact wame shots with the br. The gameplay looks identical.

[@RRagan]

They should change the starting weapon every year to keep things fresh and force competitive players to constantly adapt and practice everything and not get too comfortable. Next year they should do the h5 pistol or maybe even commando starts, that would be real fun to watch pros use lol. Just an idea

[@michaelgani1501]

Nah

[@RRagan]

@michaelgani1501 you're one of those people who hate change and think that halo should stay the same cause you can't adapt to anything new lol.

[@michaelgani1501]

@RRagan just finished a great game with the new bandit evo actually. What I was saying nope to was magnum or Commando(ew) starts. I do agree that change is good but go off my guy

[@RRagan]

@michaelgani1501 well yeah the ranked mode should constantly be changing the weapon to keep things fresh and competitive because if they keep the bandit as the weapon for too long then everyone is eventually going to master it and ranked mode will become stale again just like it did with the battle Rifle which is why they changed the starting weapon in the first place. The competitive environment needs to constantly shift in order to force players to adapt and never get too comfortable with one weapon because then it wouldn't be competitive because the best players will just dominate without ever having to adapt to anything.

[@AboveAverageCody]

It is a creative idea, but I think they should only make changes if it is better for the long run of the mode, not necessarily just to make a change

[@craignp007]

the tip that works best for me, uninstall infinite and go back to MCC. Absolutely hate the bandit. Its not even that its a struggle with the bandit/evo. i just hate how it feels, sounds, ROF. everything. BR feels more like halo, Bandit starts feel like a diff game. But i also wasnt a fan of H5 Or the DMR in reach. I would rather them just add more fall off dmg to the BR. Every thing else with it was fine. Players now days that think BR is too "OP" just never played much Halo 2 or even 3. Its just how good halo plays, BR vs BR. Halo3 had alot lower projectile velocity which i wouldnt mind. But dont think it would work with infinite's crappy servers & desync issues. (which is honestly BRs biggest issue)

[@AboveAverageCody]

Interesting, I can agree that servers were the biggest issue, which seems much more consistent in a good way with the bandit. To each their own, I love the change.

[@1stclassmedia844]

Evo is a legitimate precision weapon. It's going to make and break alot of players. It already has. Me personally, ALL 5 shots are important. Not sure about the logic behind the "first and last shot" theory. Also, do NOT jump. Get your straffe on point instead. Im challenging firefights alot more now and getting multi kills while being 1 shot. I knew the BR was fucked when you're able to kill someone with 4 shots and it still not be a perfect. The players that rely on sweeping the reticle in hopes of hitting at least 1 of the bursts, that tactic is officially dead. Since using the EVO, my accuracy has consistently been in the 60's Yea i ranted a bit but fuck it....
