First time hearing the term” re-fragged” from a teammate. Just say you got a kill doode.

[@shahaha]

hihii pest, great videooo thanksss, i saw that you hit lots of shots without focus and ADS, i’ve seen so many other console players doing that too, how do you aim and shoot like that i always miss 😭

[@PestVAL]

Practice practice practice, Ill get some training videos out within the next month 👍

[@shahaha]

@@PestVAL thxx i’ll try keep on practicing with hip fire but it feels like i’m getting worse lol😭 i’ll trust the process ig

[@leomarloedicang419]

hey man, quick question? any idea when will the global release be? nice video btw.

[@PestVAL]

Not 100% sure but beta I believe ends the 14th and the game should release shortly after

[@mhkb24]

Very good tips

[@PestVAL]

Appreciate it goat 🐐

[@jayhen8026]

thank youuuuu sooo muchhhh

[@PestVAL]

No worries ❤️

[@M1r0o42]

Look at hcpeful using focus. He uses it to look around fast so its on 20 and is base sens is slow so he can micro flicks and has good aim in general. (he has walk in focus off for that)

[@PestVAL]

Very backwards in my opinion, the only logical reason I see to do that is allow you to walk easier but there's a default, unbound button bind to push to walk, which gives you way more freedom to do what you want with your aim

[@fathimohamed7689]

I am struggling with counterstrafing. Left counters right but it gets confusing when walking front and back

[@PestVAL]

Generally counterstrafing "front to back" is VERY awkward, generally you just dont ever want to be caught walking towards or away from an enemy or you're not wrong, it's hard to adjust

[@Riccolino.]

Can it be that Ranked on Console doesnt function properly ? Because i played recently for the first time Valorant and got Ranked Diamond 1. But friends told me that on PC its way harder to get there. So am i just good on Console overall because every opponent technically uses the same Console and Controller, or is it just generally more easy to get higher ranked on console at the moment ?

[@PestVAL]

Diamond was also exponentially easier to get 4 years ago then it was now on PC, Valorant console is essentially a brand new game to the majority of people playing it. Skill levels will take time to reach the same on PC but I think it will happen quickly given there's so much out there to improve already

[@JaydenAndIan]

Pest should release a settings video

[@PestVAL]

INCOMMINGGGGG 💥

[@ShoeBeDooBop]

isnt counterstrafing like a 10ms difference in deceleration on valorant compared to just releasing movement keys? although could have a bigger impact on controller since your forcing the stick back to deadzone faster. good stuff though!

[@PestVAL]

You're not wrong, at a low level I don't think there will be much difference, but once you get into the Diamond+ area I think you'll fall behind if you don't. Appreciate it man

[@SRSLY.GODSENT_]

I primarily sit in the focus mode because i do not like how much of the sensitivity reduction is applied in the hipfire aim assist i feel a lot more comfortable flicking and micro adjusting in that mode. Im hoping they give us options for aim assist windows and strength like overwatch. I also think a play test with no aim assist like siege would be nice to see

[@DOREYS2NEAT]

It’s a bad habit to get for console. When I stopped useing ads and focus I started to drop three times as much kills as I was.

[@PestVAL]

I believe what they came out with is gonna be pretty much what we see in the final game but I dont disagree, would be interesting

[@hyyenaA]

Very good Video 💪🏻. Can you make a best settings Video? That would be nice

[@riastradh]

It’s hard to strafe properly when I’m getting hit and it slows me down lol

[@PestVAL]

Yea you're not wrong, when you get body shotted most of the time you have one burst to get the kill or you pretty much die. There's lots of little theories like this in the game Ill go over in the future, it's just too much for a video like that

[@xdmondx]

more tips n tricks pls i am getting slammed in most lobbies

[@PestVAL]

LMAOAOAOA I gotchu goat

[@ItzzKenny3]

I think everybody will be different when it comes to focus mode thing. For me I use it a lot. My reaction time is fast enough to where I can unfocus line up and then focus again and shoot.

[@EdgeMaster556]

nah its more of a crutch just get used to your sense regulary

[@PestVAL]

I agree I think thats a skill gap that'll take time to develop

[@temidiamzz]

Can some1 actually the differences between the aim assist modes… like what does smooth, etc mean when applied to the sens

[@PestVAL]

Those are for aim curves not aim assist, but yes there is a massive difference between them

does anyone know when valorant console will have its full release?

[@PestVAL]

2-3 weeks I believe, the beta should end and go straight into the full release though

@@PestVAL ahh thats good cus ive got exams starting from like september or so till march next year so i hope it releases sooner so i can atleast hit diamond or ascendant

[@ALBwesam]

Hey a quick tip focus mode actually has a very high aim assist hip fire lower your sensitivity when aiming at an enemy while focus adjust your aim to actually aim at the enemy for you depending on how far your crosshair from the enemy I suggest you start using it thank me later😂😂😂😂

no it doesnt lmao are u special?

As a radiant on both, respectfully I disagree

[@Retr0_]

Counter strafing does not do anything in this game, this is not CS

[@ALBwesam]

It kinda does tho on PC and on controller I play both tbh

[@Retr0_]

@@ALBwesam I play both too, I have been playing since closed beta and it’s been confirmed by many others, counter strafing doesn’t do anything. In CS it does because of the way the movement works, but you don’t need to in Valorant. It’s just adding extra input for no reason.

[@PusoD2]

@@Retr0_turn on movement error and you’ll realize how quicker it is to shoot precisely with counter strafing

[@ALBwesam]

@@Retr0_ it does but it's not that big of a difference tbh your right but it makes just a little difference from my testing

[@PestVAL]

From what Ive tested on controller you do seem to roll out of your movements more, similar to CS, because your joystick takes time recenter instead of just releasing a key like PC. Generally I agree for PC, not for console
