Halo Infinite Beginner Tips #2 - Improve Your Aim, Strafing, Motion Tracker, & Map Control

[@moistshitikal59]

I have climbed from Diamond 1 to Diamond 4 and my biggest tip is don't pick "fair" fights, try to find off angles on your opponent which means you don't have to strafe until the enemy turns around. Furthermore strafing has to be the second most important type aside from my don't pick "fair" fights if you can make your opponent even miss 1 burst this means you will essentially always will the fight as long as you don't miss your bursts. Hope this helps :)

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Well said!

[@vladdimitrov819]

I've been in so many situations where I get the first two bursts or shots or couple seconds of damage, and get melted once they react anyways. I'm playing MnK and it seems like something is off as it's not like that in other PVP games I play. For example it seems like with AR, if you hold down the trigger for longer than 2 seconds, the bullets stop connecting because of bloom. What's the cadence to tap fire this weapon? Short bursts like a pistol shot or hold it down just until the bloom kicks in?

[@mortongull]

@@vladdimitrov819 oh man, same. former halo 2/3 controller player, playing MCC on mnk for the past few months to get ready for infinite and felt i was getting better. i’ve also been playing all fps games on mnk since i got my pc four years ago, but as soon as i jump into infinite, i’m getting obliterated by others. had to swap back to controller and now finally feel like i’m not miserable at the game lol

[@moistshitikal59]

@@vladdimitrov819 Yeah bloom can suck but you must make sure that your shots connect, I found that issue quite challenging when the game was released. Be sure to add me on discord if you want to send me a video of what you mean I’ll be sure to help!

[@moistshitikal59]

@@vladdimitrov819 also it depends with the pistol, the first five shots are pretty much dead accurate after that you want to let bloom reset and fire again.

[@INSTILLtv]

As an Onyx player, I highly recommend training your Battle Rifle in bot matches. The BR is the best weapon in the game and is extremely useful as you start with the BR in Ranked mode. Use academy mode and set the bots to Spartan difficulty. Then turn on God mode so you can’t die. Practice killing each bot in 4 BR shots for the “perfect” medal. Make sure to practice your strafe and make it unpredictable.

[@TheChristopherJack]

I think god mode is better for improving aim as it wastes less time dying- but long term it may pay to have it off to encourage survival mechanics such as escapes, utility use, cover jiggling, & defensive play in general. I suppose it comes down to what you want to focus on. What's surprising me is the stark contrast of controller sens settings- usually a consensus starts to build, like in Fortnite most controller players stick to linear, 40-50%, minimal dead zones before drift & no acceleration/boosting/etc- then again, FN aim assist is much weaker & only slows down, doesn't follow the enemy & has much more verticality. Right now in Halo Infinite though, you'll look at 4 pros settings & 4 incredibly different, often opposing results. What I do know is that I like Linear in FN, but the lack of mappable buttons on controller makes transitioning too hard(if I could map the back buttons on my razer ultimate as keybinds, while leaving the rest as default, it would be a different story). Halo Infinite seems to lack a linear option, no matter what I do, it seems there's always some form of acceleration or exponentional increase in movement, making tracking feel rather inconsistent.

[@sweezy7455]

I've just started doing that and am noticing improvements in duels, especially against high Diamond and Onyx players. I mean shit I murdered bots in CSGO to improve my aim so shit, comes naturally.

[@tbut155]

what do you mean god mode?

[@edgybastardo]

@@tbut155 there’s a setting in training mode that makes u unkillable

[@I-am-Ranb0]

I agree but keep god mode off, it’s important to be able to duel under pressure and it pushes you to play smart if you’ve just won an engagement but you’re weak and another bot/player comes up on you.

[@Secret_Takodachi]

#1) Stick with your team, BUT maintain social distance to avoid giving enemies an easy multi-kill with a lucky grenade. #2) PLAY THE OBJECTIVE You don't need to be the one grabbing the oddball or a flag, DON'T just sit on the sides trying to score kills. Sometimes it can be helpful but in most cases you're much more helpful to your team simply acting as a hurdle to the enemies trying to kill the teammate of yours that's scoring the points. #3 This isn't COD, kills aren't instant but can feel instant if you're lone wolfing it or putting yourself in a bad position. If you're dying quickly STOP, try a different approach OR determine if your team could benefit more from you pursuing a different objective. You'll live longer, get more kills ANDDDD you're actually going to be helpful to your team that way. Even if you're solo a single considerate teammate can help sway a battle back from the brink of defeat against a party of players on the other team simply because partied players are used to fighting unorganized unthinking opponents who just run into their deaths. If you're considering your team's objective, where your teammates are and what your team is lacking/missing from their composition: a considerate solo player can change the entire dynamic of a battle by playing the way your team needs you to even if you're not all communicating.

"spotting" (pings in halo) have been in BF since 2005 and I'm glad it made it to Halo. Used properly, it's a game changer.

[@idlehour]

I never see people use it but i use it so much lol

[@IanFitty]

For anyone trying to dial in their stick feels, make sure to disable steam input in the game settings in your steam library. If you have an elite controller try the delayed sens curve and lower dead zones for your right stick and the aggressive curve and 0 deadzone/lower threshold for your left. Feels much more like old halo and the inner stick gets more resolution

[@yeetwchybaban]

Nice

[@h1gh3r73]

Alternatively you can just set your steam input deadzones to zero for the same effect. This is useful if you need the steam input if you are using a ds4 or dual sense etc.

Nice video, if you do another one of these I would recommend going deeper into how objectives work, as it seems alot of new or returning players are struggling with them. Like remember that contested strongholds don't score, or that you're not revealed with the flag unless you sprint and etc.

[@brainbox9219]

This is helpful, I’m against the norm and using mnk over controller in Halo, I’ve been on controller a lot longer than mnk so it’s a challenge but very rewarding

[@zacka1337]

One thing I never hear people mention in these beginner guides is to learn how to avoid nade damage. By thinking 5 seconds ahead, or moving around a corner/behind a pedestal you can easily avoid grenade damage. Think "what would I do if I was my opponent" many times the answer is nade... So pre-emptively move away from easily naded areas when being engaged by enemies, often if you think where the nades tend to bounce, you can know what area of the room/corner you can go to to avoid the nade damage. Also try not to sprint around corners if an enemy can be there as they will always get the first shot off on you.

[@supplepanda2665]

Hope your channel pops off even more bro 💪 looking forward to all your future videos and infinite help

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Appreciate it!

[@codygreene9067]

For aiming I had to turn sensitivity down, but I cranked look acceleration all the way up to allow me to turn faster when I fully push my stick in a direction. So if I’m being shot from the side or behind I can still rotate quickly enough to fight back.

[@BillyNahar]

BBKDragoon back on the Halo content, it feels good to be back to this channel! Here’s to a new era, the Infinite 🙌

[@I-am-Ranb0]

My best tip is find the sensitivity that feels best to you as an individual. Regardless of what settings your favourite pro uses, you have to make sure it’s right for you. I had mine way to high first couple of days for me, soon as I dropped it I started hitting consistent 4 shots and hit onyx, dropped it again a bit as it still wasn’t as good as I was in H2/H3 and now I’m at look acceleration 5 with vertical and horizontal sens at 2.5 and I don’t miss. Not saying this is right for everybody, but it works for me

[@lava2266]

My good friend who's onyx has this setup but I always thought it was probably too slow but he averages no lower than 50% accuracy a game even when he hasn't played well

@ 7:44 if you are a halo OG, it definitely would matter who you are calling out as 1 shot. I would much rather charge at Walshy's BR over someone like Roy or Neighbors. Not a knock on walshy he is an amazing player and is levels above others in leadership and strategy, but I had to use this example...Halo is back!!!!

[@samkachar]

He makes the marker or up on dpad sound more useful than it is. He said it's the most useful communication method. Well it doesn't tell how many enemies are there, how much damage they've taken or what direction their traveling. A headset does. I still don't understand why people play ranked at diamond level or high and aren't using a headset.

[@davidh3608]

Something I can’t figure out is the relationship between strafing to make yourself a more difficult target and left stick aiming. Imagine the opponent is stationary, I would mean you stand still as well? That doesn’t make sense. Then you would still strafeand aim with the right stick?

[@TheChristopherJack]

Haven't properly played any FPS since probably Halo Reach on the 360, where I mainly played Infection with a little SWAT & grifball & ocassional Slayer/FFA(it's all 4+ team games right now...) I feel pretty proud that I was able to reach Platinum as my starting rank in the crossplay lobby using KB&M. To be fair, I have played a lot of Fortnite, while not an FPS, is still a shooter. I played around with my controller & it is absolutely 100% better for ranked & I may switch to it because the BR is undeniably significantly better with aim assist- but controller isn't perfect, it feels much weaker with melee, grenades, at certain ranges, with certain weapons & especially most power weapons- that said, ranked is based around the BR which benefits the most from aim assist IMO, it's signficiantly easier to land those 4 burst kills- you even watch a pro KB&M player & they look no better than a merely decent controller player with that weapon. I think the ideal 4 person team is 3 controller players & 1 KB&M for the power weapons & long-range support.

[@johnskauge]

I am having so much trouble hitting people strafing. I use keyboard and mouse and once we both get into the strafe dance I can't hold my crosshair on them reliably anymore. I turned down my sensitivity and it's still very difficult. It's like I can't react fast enough to the strafing motions. I ended up switching to controller for a while and it's actually worked out really well. I really wanted to play on keyboard and mouse but unfortunately the slight pull on the crosshair a controller gives helps out a lot in strafe fights. I really want to switch back to KBM though, it's just so much harder to aim.
