8 Fatal Aiming Mistakes on Controller

[@Daemon_23]

Played cod on a 4090 and scuf for the first time. Setting doesn’t fucking matter. The difference is night and day. I play on a 10/10 sens on a console but after dropping to a 6/6 on a PC let me tell u, the frames are insane and you move like your on a 10/10 console but way smoother and snappier on a 6/6 Like, it’s not even fair. Dropped 30, 35, 39 lowest kill was 23 on a 4090 and my PR was 21 on console. I’m so blown away. There’s zero contest. If you wonder how you die so quick when up against some peeps online, just assume they have the superior set up when on console. You have to try to lose a gun fight. Went back on console and was struggling hard, the movement and frames wasn’t even close on my PS5. And AIM ASSIST is a 1000% stronger on PC, it’s basically aimbot. Crossplay should not be a thing to be honest - it’s a whole different experience. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. Some can’t drop 4G on a PC just for COD.

[@JLthatCracka352]

I fckn knew it. Like my movement, aim and gunplay is actually good. I'm not a bot bro. It's like I die so fast in gunfights I KNOW I shoulda won. All I could gather was, it felt like a "latency" issue. It feels like I'm dying in 3 bullets, like MP, or like I have no plates on when I'm fully plated. Idc either, as soon as my wife has our baby next month (so I won't look like an a$$hole, bc: priorities) I'm at least dropping $1500 on one, idk about 4G'z, but at least $1900 or so. Thank you so much for this bro. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯😎💪🏻

[@curtiousj111]

This video changed my WZ experience. I could always drop high kills in multiplayer but was losing gunfights in WZ I should absolutely be winning. To the point I was over playing it. Last night I literally changed one setting, my TV to game mode. Didn’t even think about that. 2 games in I had a PR and my 10 game stretch was just shy of a 2KD. Historically I was sitting at( .81kd). Can’t believe that one setting made such a massive difference. Thank you. Subscribed for sure

You know what's funny? I started playing shooters as a pc gamer playing CS 1.6 and I instinctively knew that using my finger tips on the mouse would allow me more control over micro-adjustments in my aim. I've been playing console shooters for the past 14 years and never thought to use the tip of my thumb (thumb pads) instead of the flat of my thumb for aiming on a controller. I switched that today after watching this video and it has allowed me so much more control over the small adjustments, that I am floored 😮. This one technique feels like it raised my skill ceiling quite a bit almost immediately. Wow. Thank you for this video.

[@cassvoodoo1907]

Thanks for covering the hand/thumb placement! I’ve only found one other video covering this in the past after lots of searching. For warming hands, I recently started placing a heating pad on top my hands for the first game or two, makes a lot of difference!

[@dreamstrike]

The heating pad is a great idea too!

[@profgodslayer4991]

I respect the dedication but I just feel like having to warm my hands up is kinda a wild routine lol. I’ve hit diamond/crimson on mw2 and mw3 already and I do not do any of that. Just good old fashioned bot practice up to 1000 bots and then centering and finding the right settings. That’s it.

[@samuels3557]

@@profgodslayer4991it isn’t a wild routine. Some people’s hands are much stiffer when not warmed up coz how they’ve used their muscles. And if u play mnk u really see the difference in consistency stretching out and warming up ur hands up to ur shoulders

man will i say ur videos help alot bec since fortunes keep dropped i thought i was gonna be getting high kills every now and then but i realised i was overchalling too much so some of ur videos really helped so i was able to get some 13 killed games wich may not seem alot but bec im on mouse and keyboard i was so happy :)

The autopilot thing is true. After a few games, I get comfortable and I get careless with my movements because my brain is like "ahh it's okay maybe we'll get lucky and we can cross the open road without getting shot" and then lo and behold - I'm out of the game before it's begun. Make sure to take a break when you start losing focus and do something else!

Left or right was the content i was after. I find flicking to the right is a lot more sensitive due to the pulling motion and it gets stressful. Another issue is the servers. Somedays they are good and others its like running through quick sand, there isn’t any consistency and that doesn’t help.

I'm used to play with scuf instinct pro but i checked out the site of the controller you use and saw they cost 80€ less so thx for the info bro because since i started playing with the backbuttons i just need them it's much better. And playing claw is nothing for me exept when i need to press the dpad. I noticed you use the exact same button mapping as i do and i also switched from 1st using the 4 buttons to the right side of your controller but switched to using ping on the back instead of the switch weapons on the back. In other words thx for the vids because you seem to focus on the same stuff as i do. (Sorry if my english isn't correct i'm from Belgium and learned English from watching movies haha) Anyway keep doing what you do because your channel is going to keep on growing i'm sure of that. Thx again and grts. Can't wait for the next one 😉

[@marco1989ful]

dreamstrike I have the same doubts as you, I also do a lot of aiming tests, I often feel good for 2-3 games then I stare or lose concentration, I have come to the conclusion that the PS4 pad that all the pros use has the voltage of the analogue ones softer than the PS5 pad or the Xbox pad and allows it to be fast even at low sensitivities 6-6, if you play at sensitivity 7-7 8-8 after a while you lose precision when playing, while with 6- 6 helps keep recoil and centering well centered. it's a positioning game and 6-6 helps play more tactically than higher sensitivities

[@Stanley349]

Does rotational aim assist work even when you move the left thumb stick up or down? Or does it only work when strafing? And does it work more if you push it all the way, or does it work equally well even if you just move it a small amount?

[@cosmogami]

Honestly whats gotta be one of the biggest advantages is having a scuf controller so you can jump while still using the joystick. I switched from PC and thats the one thing I really cant do anywhere near the level I was on PC. Moving around and jumping around corners and shit. And being able to flick your mouse to turn fast even if youre using a low sensitivity. With a mouse I used really low sensitivity like literally about a foot movement to do a 180 while still having that low sens advantage for accuracy. On controller I play on 11 out of 14 so I can look quickly but its definitely harder to aim

[@jamariom.5878]

I just wash my hands with hot hot water before I start, warms them and cleans them for grip. Sometimes I wash again in between games.

[@poised3487]

I know this is an old video but I’m curious to how much pressure one should be using on the right stick for aiming? Sometimes I feel like im not putting enough pressure on the stick and it’s causing me to lose gunfights and sometimes I feel like I’m putting too much pressure and it’s causing my aim to be stiff. What way should I be practicing the most with?

[@devilish2345]

i remember last year my gf and i played plunder when it first came back and we had an insane match,i was using the vector and m4 if i remember correctly she had the iso hemlock and the pd45 pistol if i remember that anyway shes half def and partially blind in her right eye, however we actually turned the volume down purposely not fully but to a much lower degree and she learned how to use the map way better for information and just all together player predictability we had to play a whole lot of DMZ before that however we just kept getting kill after kill at the airport as well, so constant players dropping in and it was funny because the vector wasn't considered the best SMG in the game to be honest however the way I had it set up and tuned the hipfire to ads, it was just dropping over and over and her pistol was amazing getting fast kills,it was just an excellent match and it was using the map and predicting and even when the enemy with try and get us from a distance we still countered everything I got down a couple times but she got me up etcetera but still ended up picking them off from a distance which was awesome, also the a. i in that area is a pain in the ass as well, so there was that also, anyway i always look around as much as possible and rather then jump pit and try to hop and shoot like a rabbit

Does your thumb lightly rest on the joystick, or do you apply a little bit of pressure so that the stick is pressed in a little bit but not all the way down?

[@Blaze-en7kt]

Lightly rest. As light as a feather because the less tension the more control you have. Did that a while back and my aim is crazy now. Also I do a lot of aim training too

[@Denilius123]

I found that control freeks worked brilliantly for me on PS4 but with the PS5 I can’t seem to perform well with them. Perhaps it’s the bigger controller, and so it feels higher by default. But yeah, many things are subjective. ATM, I’m using modded stock DualSense (just 4 back buttons, calm down) and it’s worked great, but recently the right thumbstick has started to drift just like my first DualSense (who would’ve thought). My next controller will hopefully be the DualSense Edge once and for all, but I want it to go on sale. Then I can just swap thumbsticks when they degrade. I’ve had my PS5 for a year and couple months, 2 controllers down.

[@NfiniteRage]

Great video you should also do a video on the custom sensitivity in settings you can customise the sensitivity so instead of 4 or 5 you can have 4.5 or 5.5 so you can be more accurate with little changes for controller players
