Halo 5 - Top Tier Magnum Tips with Proximitty!

[@arthureaterofworlds5176]

Proximity: "Ignore the outer circle!" Me: "Thanks!" Proceeds to kill guy from across the map.

[@pradaj]

Thanks proximity, I been dying for a video this detailing and guiding on certain specs and tricks on improving my pistol shot .

[@hipstyhopsty2685]

the perfect kills you got were SO SATISFYING

[@thetoegrinds4385]

Thank you sir! I ended up getting 6 ( the most ever) perfects in WZA right after watching this video. keep up the good work!

[@sEaNoYeAh]

Congratulations on hitting 10k man, well deserved :) And well done on having such an awesome shot. It always looked amazing to us viewers, and now we've got empirical confirmation of badassery.

[@NelsonM47]

Proximity and Luke's halo tips and tricks

[@giranam0harper423]

Bruh, my aim, headshots, perfects have increased a TON since I put your tips into practice. It's so nice to see that headshot kill on the bottom left or the perfect. Same with your sniper tips. I almost never have to scope in now as my aim has gotten so good, I snapshot just about everything and hit. Thank you for your tips man. I'm having so much more fun because I've improved almost literally overnight applying your tips.

[@Vorusen]

congrats on the rank 1 man!! A while back you gave a tip about not pegging and its been super helpful in every game I play. I have an elite controller and on the right stick I have the raised joystick so I can play at higher sensitivity without pegging and its been incredible for shooting and staying steady. I feel like when you are hitting that barrier with your stick too often you just need to change something up

[@Proximitty]

That's awesome man! Glad it's helped you out :)

[@CWashburn80]

I just found your channel. This stuff has helped me a ton. I think the thing that helped me most though, that I didn't eleven realize were a thing, was the dead zones. I always felt like I had to move my sticks a long ways before my reticle moved. Dropped those to zero, and my aim has been much better, and still working on it. Thanks a ton dude

[@_tgreg1]

Crazy how much better I’ve got from watching your videos on magnum and reticle placement hop shit. Like overnight

[@danb3ast973]

Incredibly helpful video. Actually the best shot tips I’ve seen in any video. Particularly the pegging and reticle placement. HUGE when coming around a corner. Has improved my pistol play tremendously. Thank you!

[@Nephilim_JR]

Awesome video dude. Great tips. Also you are so close to that 10000 sub mark! What do u plan to do for it?

[@michaelhennessee9838]

the pace your shot tip was a great tip thanks Cole!

[@AustynRoach]

Thanks Cole I'm looking to go pro and this will hopefully help me to get better with my shot:) I think the rim hitting and the inner circle will help me the most

[@mannyjones3361]

Thanks for the tips! It made a HUGE difference for me. I had mine at 7 sen/ 3 acc. I was still pretty good at using the pistol but man now I see just how much that set up was holding me back. I kept placing in last place in the HaloWC FFA playlist and now I'm getting second and first place ;)

[@ignaciocarrizales6414]

Bro i owe you one! i see this video before ge in to a slayer match and believe me when i say you all you said on this video is true dude, i pace my shoots and place my reticule to the direction i thought the enemy will come from. The best tip which help me more was avoid pegging the stick. really works bro. I was the best player of the match with sixteen elimination. You are the greatest player man! new sub. Regards, blessings and joy for you.

[@busydadrs5608]

Great insights, and you just gave me an idea, and made me realize something. Most of the guys I game with think I have good pistol because I maintain 50-60 accuracy in our games and that's all they see, but I still loose tons of one 1v1s. Now I'm thinking it's because I pace; waiting for the reticle to line up before firing, rather than forcing myself to have the reticle lined up before the gun is ready to fire. Hopefully becoming aware of those wasted microseconds might be enough to force improvement, but we'll see. I'm gonna try and fire as fast as I can(the exact opposite of what you said lol) to see if I am actually capable of lining up shots faster. Hopefully I've just been psyching myself out on a deep subconscious level. I will keep track my shot accuracy and keep you posted on if this experiment helps.

[@offroadkings379]

Christopher Blackburn I have the same problem, it might be your strafe that is holding you back

[@danwalshred]

Christopher Blackburn

[@thedev1lst0ne]

thanx again for ur tips cole. ur tips always helps me out in one form or another. I think my main problems are over strafing and pacing my shots to quickly. I will work these tips into my gameplay and i should see much improvement.

[@Vorb]

"Let’s think of it logically: Be it any game, Counter-Strike, PUBG or Call of duty, halo What is the thing that is stationary? - it has to be the cross-hair What is the thing that is moving? - it is your enemy A stationary thing, you can practice and get the hang of where it will be. This is called muscle memory. Which means with practice you can predict without concentrating on your cross-hair position. However, an enemy can be anywhere on the screen, your goal should be to get the enemy on your cross-hair. So what if your enemy is not on the screen? Here comes a technical term, “Cross-hair placement”. This depends on your game sense (comes with experience), you learn to predict situations. When you don’t have an enemy on your screen, you can place the cross-hair as close to the hiding spots as possible. So that when they peek you, you can kill them with minimum effort." so focus more on the enemy close to mid range and focus on crosshair in the long range

[@businesscatlimbo]

The one that will probably help me the most is to not focus on the outer reticle circle. I've never thought of it as being just an aesthetic and the bloom being where it counts.

[@antoniovivan6174]

Very well structured video, one of you best tip vids for sure! The inner reticle tip will help me the most, as I can't seem to finish kills because I think the reticle is one the enemy head when it's really not! thanks Cole

[@angrysquid9841]

Holy shit, nice one Cole, this really helped, I didn't know at all about the outer circle and pegging, really helped, thanks :D

[@connorsmith2419]

Awesome tips, I tend to overstrafe sometimes but I'll try out these strategies to help my strafe and shot

[@josiahtorres1679]

I watched one of your older videos about magnum tips and it improved my shot so much, im sure this video will too

[@JustDolonia]

BTW the outer circle of your Magnum is meant to tell you where the bullet magnetism is to guide it so say you miss but that bottom circle is around their head hit box by a small bit the bullet will hit their head

[@basedfonua4747]

Videos like these help me so much. Thank you.

[@jeffersonorellana12]

I was pretty good at using the magnum but these tips really help me out. I'm beast with the magnum now, not as great as you but like good

[@neonpaintsplash]

I was a beast with the reach magnum back in the day, but then halo 5 came along and I was not doing so hot so I ended up selling H5. Here I am though a year later I've just picked up halo 5 again ready for round two. Have they buffed this gun since this game came out a year ago? It looks a lil more beastly then I remember.

[@jordancastillo5501]

was that a website that you used yo check your stats for perfects? If so what is it called

[@jordancastillo5501]

DieHardPizzaman thanks

[@PunkPantha]

The inner reticle idea may really help me, as well as the strafe idea. Together, I can probably get a better grip on the game. The problem for me mostly is, I just get really nervous when I'm trying to play matchmaking. It causes me to make uncomfortable decisions, and miss shots that I should hit. I octagon every time I get on, and I do well, but I can't seem to implement that in matchmaking. I'm nervous even in octagon. Usually it takes a couple games to wear off, but at the same time, when it does wear off, I play less frantically and my reaction time becomes more relaxed. Obviously, that's too complicated for anyone else but me to have to work out. I really hope the reticle idea might help me, and I may try 2,5. I'm on 3,4 now, sometimes 3,3. I really prefer lower sens. As for the reticle idea, that may explain this video I just posted lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJvTdHekl7WlrJY.

[@bigbeatmanifesto6517]

You get nervous playing matchmaking 😂 wot

[@johnniebabb8845]

Played on 4 look sens and 3 look accel. After viewing this video and changing my controller settings to 2&5, my accuracy jumped through the roof. Aim is steady and I can land more shots on my opponents. Thanks Proximitty! :-)

[@thedev1lst0ne]

one of my other main problems is finishing kills. I can always get the 4 shots without a miss but i cant ever seem to land the 5th. Any advice is well appreciated.

[@KiiwiitheNinja]

Ok so I'm just getting into halo after I've been interested for so long. My total quick play games were only at the number 38.. 7 won. I watched your video and got back in. Now I've won almost every other so far.. This actually helped a lot. I haven't been able to play any fps consecutively until now, so I really appreciate the tips! :D Lmao this vid be from 2016.

[@izlxnewxlf5026]

That actually helped me out a lot about the redical and paceing thanks mate

[@rileyjfoster27]

I've been using these tips for just few games and see instant improvement

[@apex_society]

great tips, alot of new ones i havent heard before. if your still struggling after a while, try focusing on the players head instead of watching your retical. i started watching the players head and my shot instantly improved. worked great for me and if anyone else tries it lmk how it goes.

[@AlexisAlexander646]

I never thought about ignoring the outer circle, thanks! Great vid as usual

[@theonlymrfishy5524]

The no pegging actually will help me, I push the thumb stick to the edge all too often.

[@Red_AIert]

You got PC like aim with your thumbs. That's pretty damn accurate. Thanks for the tips.

[@vanquishervevo]

Trill Ridah If you have ever faced him he is extremely good with the sticks. It feels like he has aimbot at times lol

[@Nick_Shepherd]

Aim assist+ bullet magnetism

[@theskidmo7625]

hella low sensitivity

[@BensSoZen]

My one real issue with the pistol is the tiny inner circle; it feels so far away and depending on the day it's like i have to kneel towards the TV to see it. On the other hand, you can see the opponent more easily THRU the crosshairs than with the BR.

[@brandonlaverman1556]

I personally just started taking more notice of just the inner circle :P

[@NeoKoh]

Congratz on the achievement! Love your vids

[@terrancemiracle2872]

This was helpful thanks man. The over strafing tip was most helpful to me☺

[@iloxkii4011]

Stg I saw instant results. Much love and appreciation.

[@alexcarusoburner6538]

Great vid cole. I've always thought you have one of the best shots in the game so congrats on that achievement. Keep it up :)

[@Val-ed4pz]

Yo Prox, you think you can do a setup videos dude? I'd love to see where you play

[@wackyiowa724]

I feel like some strafe tips would’ve been relevant. Like being unpredictable. I usually just strafe out of reaction. If I don’t know what I’m gonna do, then my enemy also won’t. Obviously I occasionally plan out my strafe. Like going one side for a while then doing short fast strafes and as soon as they catch on too the fast ones or if I’m one shot when I think they did I do longs again. Like you said strafing should compliment your aim. And I honestly think strafing is more important to learn over aim. Because strafing is applied universally.

[@deanblit498]

I watched this video, used the tips, and got 20 kills in a slayer match. Very helpful

[@blazebuck6360]

hey prox ive seen this video 4 months ago and as i analyzed the video my shots has improve dramatically. Thx 4 the tips wanting to see more

[@FalcoAcePilot]

man these r great tips and finally some that I havent heard before, really nice thanks!!! cant say if it helped cause I havnt tried yet, but i will and probably come back to rewatch this vid a couple times :D

[@johncastellano7927]

God this helped so much man, but I gotta question? Do you play with vibration or without? Because a lot of people tell me I'm better of without it but I'm still iffy.

[@grimmgreenout6159]

OMG I am lagit a completely different player in halo 5 this morning after watching this I got 56 kills on fathom! THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@YaNoAwantoMas]

Thank you very much, sometimes I forget about the inner circle a miss many shots. I'll be looking at this video when my aim is off.

[@jbell78214]

Disregarding the outter circle has been helping me

[@lorenzopricop58]

Wassup Proximity, i have a problem with my aim, when i use 3-4 im good with sniper but im bad with magnum, but if i use 2-5 im good with magnum but im bad with sniper

[@RandomDude4268]

TRIBU DEI LUPI dude I swear I have the same problem

[@Proximitty]

@@RandomDude4268 not an uncommon issue, snipe is often easier with a faster sens than a precision weapon. basically works like this - faster sens is easier to hit 1 single shot (swat/sniping) but having to hit continuously accurate shots like with a precision weapon is easier on a lower more controllable sense.

[@RandomDude4268]

Proximitty a year later but I still I appreciate the response haha. I understand it now and have found a comfortable sens. I think I have a clip of me killing you in a shotty snipes game. However it’s just one singular clip due to fact you shat on my entire team 💀. Love the content.

[@theperfectsyt28]

my favorite part is when you mentioned your favorite weapon is the magnum

[@superninja123]

I used to get like 6 kills and die like 10 times but after watching this vid I've been getting scores like 17 kills 7 deaths and 29 kills 12 deaths thank u

[@Jerb116]

Thx most helpful tip picked from gameplay don’t have to ads (use smart link aim down sight) often Bec it doesn’t improve magnum accuracy at close or medium range etc

[@nettomartz485]

What if i have no friends to play octagon with? I was thinking this comment was going to be 100% joke but then i remembered that a guy named gamecheat13 could spawn spartan ia (well they just stand there) in pc ,if that launched official for console it would be sooo helpful to improve shots.You could place them high or far or in a moving platform...

[@busydadrs5608]

Dude that would be sick. Honestly in H5 I'd recommend a game of WZ:Assault to warm up. Just stay in safe areas and focus on picking up kills vs. pushing the obj.

[@nettomartz485]

+Christopher Blackburn Ikr. Thanks for the tip , that could actually help, cause everybody would spawn their br's at level 3 but i could stay with my magnum , and hopefully in not a long time ill be winning gunfights vs br's with my magnum. (If you ever want to play here's my gt: "Sf Neto 01" :). )

[@nettomartz485]

+Hunt Hi Gt: Sf Neto 01

[@triggerftw4745]

Netto Martz yo I'm down to play with ya man.. boutta hop on some h5 so if you down add me Jeffrey12 3DG

[@nettomartz485]

+Trigger FTW Cool , sure i want to play with you. But i have so much stuff to do from school right now. What a about tomorrow? Ill add you tomorrow whenever i start playing .

[@lukewaryck2439]

So I watched this video and I used it in every game mode and different weapons and I went from getting like 4 or 5 kills and getting last on the leader boards to getting 20+ kills each game and that was right after I watched this video haha, this is amazing thankyou so much

[@Jmoss7]

Pegging tip for sure, I have a bad habit of doing that from doing those flick-noscopes with the sniper

[@slipperyporpoise1341]

It would be really easy for someone like you to be cocky about your skill level thanks for stayin humble and being a good influence in the community we notice :)

[@timothyjoel92]

such helpful tips man! thank you!

[@solarflare5059]

it was so satisfying watching this because of the perfect kills

[@vol4jesus684]

This video helped me a lot! Thanks!

[@voicevrc]

I have been using your sensitivity but I use 1 sens 5 accel and now my shots are more consitent. I still choke sweaty 1v1 or multiple peeps but you have helped me improve my k/d and now Im getting 4 to 8 perfect kills a game!

[@oscararias6448]

I wish you made this video a year ago lol. I think you pegging tip is going to help me the most because my thumbs get really twitchy when I'm in magnum fights.

[@cbakerrobert]

Damn that was enlightening as hell. never occured to me that i could over-strafe. i probably do that a lot trying to make the other guy miss. it makes more sense the way you lay it out. i just wanna dodge bullets like Neo lol

[@RyuFromFort]

What a satisfying video to watch omg

[@gendersondanielorozcoladin7904]

Perfect to Vetoed 4:56 🤣

[@kkohler22]

pegging dude. had no idea I was doing it. this helped alot

[@creativemindanxiety562]

I need a halo community to join that is up around 6 am eastern time zone. (early) great video

[@sethsanchez2848]

Great tips 👏🏼💪🏼👍🏼really helps

[@clawedkitty7436]

Thanks for this I love using magnums

[@g_equals_pi_squared]

That no pegging thing goes for all guns. My aim improved MASSIVELY when I avoided it. Works like a charm. Thanks man.

[@nicklerstickler1901]

Out of all halo 5's faults the magnum start is fucking amazing hopefully its in halo infinite

[@StragglyAphid]

Enjoyed the video...found you from LukeTheNotables site. Subbed to you.

[@Proximitty]

That's awesome man! Thanks for the sub :)

[@pravishkarnarine645]

wow..I. never knew about the inner bracket thing..kool

[@Back2Zack]

Nice! Been working on this lately and just have been too scared to switch to 2 sens. I thought it would get in the way of my map movement and cqc but ill give it a try now.

[@wickaboxet2822]

Did you have this prerecorded before Tyler's stream today, or did you record it after we told you to make it

[@iDezco]

Thank you for sharing this with us :)

[@alphachief1414]

Thank you and congrats on top 1

[@epicon6]

Thank you Proximitty!

[@ironpyrrhusgaming4534]

Never thought about the inner reticle. I'll have to try it as my magnum gameplay sucks. I've been playing a lot of warzone to try to improve it though. Thanks!

[@3hunderedthirtythree]

I use the outer circle and I peg. I have a garbage magnum so this should help a ton by changing those up. I also just need more practice with it. my magnum is so bad I avoid using it

[@Ryan-ly2my]

Thanks man keep up the good work 😄

[@martingreer2714]

I'm probably gonna get a lot of shit for this but could u put out a tips video for how to strafe as I myself struggle to do it very well and I'm sure a lot of others do as well but don't admit it as a lot of people can do it very well but I'm still an above average player be that just slightly and am improving as when halo 5 came out I had friends playing with me that were above my skill level just a bit too much and couldn't keep up with the enemies because of hat but I am beginning to get beer at the game after a long break from it

[@Proximitty]

Haha why would you get shit for that? A strong strafe is important! I have made multiple strafe tip videos in the past and I plan to revise and make a new strafe tips video soon! So stay tuned my dude :)

[@martingreer2714]

Proximitty thanks and ill go check em out but I was just expecting shit from other commenters not from yourself as I've gotten shit for asking for tips on things as menial as strafing before

[@im7onthe7th]

Khostov 7G-0X vetoed has a good video on strafing i believe

[@retrodungeonYT]

Thanks for the video. My BR, Carbine and DMR are always on point but for some reason I lose a lot of pistol 1v1s. In the end you're just probably better at aiming than me.

[@flatlandfox]

Great tips… love the H5 pistol

[@hiddensynin]

Bro same when I got the second ever targetmaster I was playing like a god but then I got the hcs skins and I kept missing my shot so I went back to decorated tm then to noble team and then I was doing it again n months later here u r reminding me to go back to og

[@frankvanbussel2751]

watching this one back again cuss im not feeling confident on my shots and sense, but i noticed he Pftd vetoed there on 4:55

[@seano1723]

His sensitivity is 2?

[@mr.pringle2582]

Before i watched this I always pegged and i would never win ffa now i go in top 3all the time and this so helped

[@jonatanpetersson3097]

I could easely watch this video again just to see those 5s

[@epicon6]

Did your sensitivity change after you started using the pro controller? I love using the mushroom shaped mid lenght sticks on the pro controller.. my favorite sticks on any controller ever!

[@ugotpimped415]

great vid. I changed to 2 sens, 5 accel and I started improving tremendously! I lowered it to 1 sens and it got even better. Thanks for the tip prox!

[@mariopacheco5570]

thanks for the tips, your aim is awesome, new sub

[@PizzamanMC]

Gotta start implementing these tips in practice!

[@Red-rj7sr]

DieHardPizzaman I've been playing with the magnum like Cole for the past 3 months before I left halo. My magnum was literally GOD TIER. I was outshooting every one so much and I got so many perfects lol.

[@dariancoleman7184]

how do you disregard the outer circle that is difficult to do while also trying to focus on the inner circle and on your opponent.

[@snotman40]

Do you play inverted? I cant get use to default but I wonder if that is why I always get my ass kicked in halo 2
