2:10 Thinking of tracking with the wingman instead of flicking was the biggest jump for me. When I started to think about tracking my target always, I hit way more shots with the wingman. And it's something I have to remind myself of. When I start missing a lot I have to remind myself to get into a tracking mindset. Really good tip

[@Ottoni174]

honestly i only flick with it when the enemy is really close to me cuz my sens is low or when i'm changing targets (i also do when i have no sights so i can actually see the target), but tracking is definitely the way to go

The secret to good aim is using the weapon so much that you can predict where the bullet is going. This game is projectile based so even perfect tracking can miss. We see this all the time when shooting people out of the air or going up balloons.

I play Apex typically once or twice a season. Last time, a few weeks ago, I played again and started getting pretty good with the Wingman, like hitting 80%-90% of my shots. I didn't know why exactly until watching this video today. One of the main things to take away is to really predict the movement and conserve your shots. Make sure that your line of sight matches the enemy before you shoot your next shot it at least predict it. You have to remind yourself that you got 6-9 bullets and you only need 2-5 bullets to kill.

Another point I wanna make is that when shooting, take a moment to analyze your opponent's pattern, It helps so much with predicting obvious patterns by getting 1-2 shots in. Trust me, once you shoot, every enemy in this game have their own footwork. The more you do that, the faster you predict their pattern and eventually you can see patterns as if you have clairvoyance. Just my 2 cents

[@chaseflynn6956]

For me I have struggled in apex a bit as someone who became very competent on m&k in hit scan games like csgo and valorant. This is due to the fact that in a hitscan game with smaller maps and much different ttk (especially because these games are all about that one headshot that instantly ends your opponent) you learn the fundamentals such as centering, cross hair placement, micro adjustments, flicks, strafe aiming, I'm a way that doesn't fully apply to a game like apex. In apex you have to account for velocity and distance, different hit boxes, and a ttk that relies more on sustain, consistent damage over a much longer period of time. I think players like me struggle to marry what we have learned in other games to apex in some of these areas. I wingman spam sometimes because I feel like I need to pump dps to compensate for the fact that the game doesn't have that one or two shot potential in the same way the aforementioned titles do. And yes I know the wingman along with weapons like the mastiff and pk are burst weapons but as was shown in this video spam rarely has a happy ending. Couple this with the fact that targets move way faster and way differently in apex its a bit of an adjustment for a cs/Val player. It's a tracking game whereas the other two are flicking games by nature. If there is any piece I'd advice someone who reads this takes away it is to practice tracking alot in aim labs or something of the sort, and most importantly SLOW DOWN THE SHOTS. I noticed I needed to do this early on and applying this principle rapidly improved my pk and wingman game. You really gotta train your brain to only squeeze of that shot once it recognizes its on target.

[@P0wd33r]

tbh this video really inspiring. i just got to diamond lobby as a solo player and this actually might help me get to master. it really change my prospective on how to aim. i experience alot of time where i just miss all of my shot because im too focus on my crosshair instead of the enemy

[@TacticalReaper56]

It honestly takes some time to learn how much you need to lead with the wingman. Based off others ping and internet it can be different for some. I know I've been practicing more and more on controller snapping and leading still wingman in a league of its own.

simple. do what the pros do. go to the firing range. get the reticle on-screen. then put a small piece of tape onto your monitor over the reticle. now you'll always have a centered reticle, no matter what gun, no matter what sights or irons or hipfires. headshots +60%.

its actually kinda scary how much the look at the target tip helps

[@Danny_Deleto]

I just came back after two years and always wanted to learn the wingman, so I threw myself into arenas and only let myself use the wingman; and it's crazy how much of this I picked up on. I don't focus on the reticle anymore and I started tracking and now I'm much better - not amazing but better. I also learned to slow down if I miss too many shots; I just take a deep breath and focus. I got a lot of work ahead of me (such as sensitivity alone) but it feels amazing actually being competent with it. It's the movement I need to focus on now...

[@TheOmega74]

Very good vid. 👍 it's unbelievable, I was actually very good with the wingman when I just started playing Apex. Became bad overtime because I had a cpl of bad experiences, without realizing I was tired at that time, but it stucked in my mind I suck. IMO confidence is the key to Apex games in general. Wingman has a timing to it.

[@IIEstevaoxII]

Hey just want to say Thank You for this video, I always struggled with the wingman as well, it was such a strange weapon for me, the aim seems right but the shots just don't connect, I always ignored this weapon because I've never guaranteed myself with it.. until now. Now every game I search for it and i'm doing really good to be honest, it's so satisfying. I think the most precious advice I got from this video was to stay cold blooded while fighting and don't spam those shots. Thanks for this inspiring video, and thanks Hollow for teaching us

[@Animatedron]

Great collab on this! Solid wingdude shots.

[@BPKPhoenix]

This is actually really good! I've always used the Wingman as of late like the deagle/357 in COD MW19, which is aim in, take a shot, leave ADS and then re-ADS for the next shot, rinse repeat. But with these tips, I can see now that taking a wingman and dueling someone is more of a commitment than just dealing random burst damage. It makes sense, the wingman is actually more of an oppressive weapon imo than most others, the feeling of being focused down and getting bopped 45/86 adds more pressure than getting fried by an SMG or AR in the mid ranges. Then again, playing other games and not focusing on Apex leads to some bad habits formed from other games like COD. So thanks Soar_Hollow for the tips and Kandy for showing us how the big boys get it done. That being said, we're probably going to be seeing a lot of wingman guys out there in the games!

[@YoJimbo0321]

Regarding the first segment about the common "mistake" of flicking off the target and flicking back onto them for the next shot, I feel like the conclusions drawn by Hollow are kind of off. I don't think that the primary motivation of doing that is to avoid the visual recoil or to "intentionally put yourself at a disadvantage to make flashy plays" as Hollow suggests. I also think that it's quite a stretch to assume that iiTzTimmy would be intentionally and consistently going out of his way to throw off his aim for no good reason, no matter how sweaty the game or situation, just to show off his flicks to the stream. Hollow then suggests thinking of the Wingman as a tracking weapon, keeping your crosshair as close to the target as you can, so that you can easily micro-adjust towards their head for your next shot. However, an important point that Hollow did not bring up is that his mouse sensitivity of 43 cm/360 is extremely different compared to iitzTimmy's 21 cm/360. That kind of tracking and micro-adjustment aiming definitely makes sense for a mid sensitivity like Hollow's, but if you play at a much higher sensitivity like Timmy's, it becomes much more difficult to smoothly track the target without overshooting once they move out of the range of your wrist tilts. And even if you CAN continue to track closely to the target, the micro-adjustments also become more difficult to do, as a small twitch of your hand could send your crosshair flying past their head. Personally, I suspect that that is the actual reason behind those off/on flicks. By flicking a good distance off the target, it gives Timmy enough room to comfortably flick back onto the target without worrying as much about having extremely tight mouse control to prevent overshooting. Anecdotally, I had a similar experience back when Overwatch first came out. At the time, I didn't know anything about adjusting mouse sensitivities and played with a sensitivity at or close to default, which was very high for my DPI. When playing Hanzo, I intuitively started flicking off of the target and then flicking back onto them with each shot, because it was the only way I could wrangle the super fast sensitivity. It wasn't until much later when I started messing with settings that I broke that habit.

[@vix9801]

from what i see, when itztimmy plays he positions his mouse in a place where he knows he can do a constant flick. usually he shoots then moves is mouse down then sets up for the exact same flick again instead of trying to flick from a bunch of different angles.

This way you will learn how hard this game is for new players…something non of us ever will know as we were there even when octane didn’t exist. By playing and helping this new player I think both of you would grow as nothing makes you better then teaching someone else.

Also at add to the speed...I agree it's better to start slow and make your hits. Once you start getting hits consistently, you'll naturally get consistent hit FASTER over time. -If you cant hit shit and shoot too fast just take a breath, slow down, and aim. Focus on getting hits at a slower pace.

i think in regards to flicking hollow isn't taking muscle memory in to consideration. I think it was Taimou an overwatch pro mcree player that went in depth on a flicking guide and how your muscles learn to whip at your target, flicking is a very repetitive fast movement which using your arm mostly and not your wrist is a very good way of creating a consistent muscle memory
