Do Aim Trainers Actually Work?

It doesn’t matter which shooter you play, there’s one thing that you’re going to need to know how to do: aim.
There’s just no getting around the fact that, no matter how much of a flashing, smoking, shotcalling, wall-opening support player you consider yourself, at some point, you’re gonna have to click a head.
The question that haunts all of us every day is how do we most effectively improve our aim?
It could be that you’ve spent ten-thousand hours in Aim Botz, have become obsessed with The Range in Valorant, or just wish that you’d stop getting pop flashed by Stewie2K in Siege’s so-called ‘Training Grounds.'
Or maybe you’ve bought into the hype and tried out one of these increasingly popular, allegedly productive aim trainers?
What we want to know is what you want to know: is the sudden explosivity of the ‘aim trainer’ all a result of marketing, or is there something scientific at play? In other words, are aim trainers better than your traditional, age-old warmup -- and, if so, how much better?

Aim training is an investment. It's different for everyone, but it takes months (maybe even over a year) to see huge results. You need to practice consistently every day and your aim will get better eventually. You don't go to the gym for 3 days and quit just because you still look the same. You're always improving, but it's not always visible.

That said, QC is a lot more fun and getting matches going is a lot easier, depending on the time of day (Make sure you select a variety of regions from the main menu!) If you have some friends to play with, I'd also suggest creating a custom lobby in QL, set the game mode to Clan Arena and do 1v1 LG duels. Just make sure you don't press the 'Ready' button to keep it in Warmup mode. You can also enable infinite ammo through console in QL for your custom games.

Aim trainers are definitely worth it. Coming from Kovaaks, I think a few months ago, I don't think I'd be able to hit shots I'd consider as "unreal", or have such smooth aim like a controller player, but with that added precisions as well. What is important however, is that the skills and experience learnt in an aim trainer need to be transferred to your actual game.

[@adrianbasic5830]

@@Pygmay I get your Point and your Point is absolutely correct. What I try to explain is that Aim Trainers are just a (powerful) Tool to workout your pure mechanical Skill in a save Environment. Mousecontroll, Hand-Eye Coordination, Reflexes, Microadjustments, etc. And that's what many Players get wrong when it comes to Aimtrainers. Aimtrainers actually "Just" workout those Things mentioned above. It's Not the purpose of Aimtrainers to workout your Gamesense (Tactics, Angles, Rotations, Recoil-Patters, Crosshairplacement, etc). And that's what many Players don't understand. If your Aim and Reflexes is on S1mple-Level because you grinded Aimtrainers for a thousand hours but you allways screw up your Angles and Positioning they won't Help and teach you anything. But If it's the other way around they will make you a better and more succesful Player. Let me tell you my Story. I'm playing FPS since the Release of BF 2 2005. In BF I allways was a 2.5-3.0 K/D Player. Then Apex was released and I totally got rolled at the beginning because I Had big deficits in Close Range Combat, fast Paced movements and Tracking. I thought my Aim was good. But Not good enough If I come from a slow paced Shooter to fast Paced Shooter Like Apex. Then I started Kovaaks (800 Hours in now since 2019) to workout my weaknesses. And my Damage and K/D Stats got better Season after Season. I dropped 20 Bombs (20Kills in one Game which is one of the Hardest to obtain Badges). I dropped Games with over 5000 Damage (the highest obtainable achievment for Damage is currently 4000 which is also pretty hard to obtain If you don't cheese it with Snipers). I reached 2 Times Predator (highest Rank) and 2 Times Master ( the Second highest Season Rank after they Made Predator only reachable for Top 500 and then Top 750 Players per Season. Only reachable as a sponsored Pro, Content Creator or unemployed Adderallkid because you have to grind this Game 10 hours a day to secure your place in the Top 750.) Etc, Etc. Aimtrainers brought my Aim to another Level. And I would never had been able to achieve those Things without workout my Aim with pure dicipline. I get your Point and your Point is correct. But now I Hope you get my Point. Purpose of Aimtrainers is Mousecontroll. Not Gamesense.

Aim trainers are all about how you play them. If you practice small dot click timing and smooothness you're improve in game if you main tac shooters. If you play useless meme shit like tile frenzy or the INFAMOUS "gridshot" (still the worst scenario ever made) you'll probably achieve nothing and give up.

[@malice493]

Aim trainers help improve mouse feel and control which has great carryover to multiple FPS titles. If your goal is to become “cracked” at one single game (say Valorant/Siege/Csgo) then time spent in aim trainers is likely better spent just playing the actual game and understanding game mechanics, timing, character abilities etc. It does serve as a good warm up, and some scenarios emulate what would be a very rare occurrence in-game. The trainer allows one to practice that scenario in a “stress free” situation. Just don’t drop the ball when the pressure’s on.

I'm kinda new to kbam, I'm a year in. I've tried 3 Aim Trainers, I like Kovaak's the most. Just aim training didn't really do much for me, until I started training for a particular game, and the movement you'd encounter while fighting. I switch drills often, I don't want to be trained to the aim trainer. I was weak with tracking, and close quarters fighting. I watch one guy that focuses on aim on his channel, he provided some personal drills. They basically addressed all my weak areas, and because most games have these mechanics, it crosses over to most games. I only practice if I'm not actually playing, or played for a while. People are always asking me what I'm using, so I guess aim training does work. I was just hitting a bunch of lucky shots before, now I definitely attribute my skills to some aim training, and a lot of practice. I started just to be able to compete, I didn't know at the time I was fighting software, and devices.

Its amazing that osu was featured in a score esports video, but I honestly feel like osu is not an aim trainer so if you expect to improve at aiming due to osu, you could potentially be setting yourself up for disappointment but apart from that, its a crazy fun game to indulge yourself in and helps in terms of warming up and improving reaction time etc.

[@theScore_Colten]

As someone who came from playing on a console it was a much better entry into mouse aiming than trying to just jump straight into shooters. That's really the only reason I wanted to make sure to mention it. It isn't good for teaching aiming mechanics, but rather for building mouse specific hand-eye coordination.

[@jumpierwolf]

Not really, it's more about how you apply that information. OSU can still help since it improves mouse control and can greatly improve your smoothness making your tracking way better.

[@maazqureshi7200]

Aim trainers are all about consistency. I think of it like when I workout, I won't see massive results instantly and it'll feel tedious to do everyday even though it's only 15 minutes or so but eventually it'll make a massive difference in the long run to your raw aim. Now implementing it into every game is gonna be quite different as each game has it's own mechanics and gameplay, so it's your job as a player to adapt to that game and put your time into it if you wanna be great. if all you care about is having really good aim then that's different, then you can just go crazy on aim trainers everyday and hop around from one game to another as you find interest or hype builds around them

@@nekko2645 depends on which game you are talking about. I think you were refering as sensitivity related to degree in 3d because many games can dissociate field of view and sensitivity and therefore motion, you can have a field of view of 20 and still have to do the same cm/360 as you would if you were at 90. ( tho that would feel weird ) what i meant by motion was that no matter what if you wanna go on the left side up corner of your screen with your mouse it will be the same motion weather its 2d or 3d. and there is also the fact you are playing on a 2d mouse pad field other than that i dont see the difference between 2d and 3d other than the fact it feels different because like you said it would be weird trying to apply your 360 per cm to desktop. which id say is the factor that will determine maybe 70% of your success ... on the result if you're going to get on tasks like gridshot, sixshot and stuff but if sensitivity control was all aim is then we would't need to shoot and practice drag shooting or click timing or these sorts of stuffs ... and also it would mean that by changing sensitivity you would lose 100% of your skill which sounds unlikely. now is osu the best option for practicing any of these ? i would't say it won't help but nobody is ever going to wait an aproach circle to click on a head or waiting for the beat to shoot ... oh wait there is the players that uses metronomes in aimlab ...

Now 3 months ago I started playing pubg pc with a friend and oh God I sucked and my noob friend who never played competitive games and is noob filthy casual who cant even hold mouse properly had more 10 kills than me while I had 0 or 1.. so I decided to practice and found out pubg pc training map sucks ball so I downloaded aimlab I practiced then I got good now I play same like my extreme noob friend and have same kills and aim like him and loosing all matches after I installed csgo I was playing worse than silver no aim no nothing getting owned by noobs and bots put some time into workshop maps 1 week later slowly slowly I started getting good aim here I am in 1 Month I got back my pro aim back then I decided to play pubg and oh God my aim is like magnet sticking to enemy I'm doing it easily and subconsciously I can guarantee aimlab kovaak and other aim trainers they don't worth it they can only make u good in the trainer only of course it might not be the same for everyone though

[@JackoTJK]

still need to hit the shot when it does present itself. In saying that in-engine practise will always be the best training but you can definitely pinpoint improvements from different grips or notice you push hard on the mouse when you're spraying or even working on hitting a peek or tracking a target

[@itslegittrustmeongod8702]

Okay hear me out, I'm a guy who hits headshot and flicks with high accuracy. If you wanna get good at csgo and valorant start with static opponents sit there for atleast 30 minutes, if you can hit them without miss switch to moving opponents till you hit 1 taps, after that practice your spray, I hit all my spray like I have word.exe practice spray transferring. Now keep practicing in the game till you get the flow, then go to aimlab and do your shit. Now in osu I wouldn't recommend that because it's not a dam aim training, but here's what you get from osu awareness and reaction time try it I'm 7 star in osu btw

[@HiMiTSU_915]

As a rhythm game player, i can say that the game itself was aim trainer in disguise

[@BinaryPLUR]

I was just wondering about this innovation LOL, this series is so great.

[@adrianbasic5830]

I allways thought that my Aim is pretty decent Back in 2018. I regularly played FPS since the Release of Battlefield 2 Back in 2005. With the release of Apex in 2019 I saw my big deficit in Tracking and Microadjustments despite I was a 2.5-3.0 K/D Player in all BF's I Had Played since Release of BF2. So I bought Kovaaks Back in 2019. Today I'm around 800 Hours in and my Aim is on a complete other Level. I'm able to Back this Up with Stats from every Season. I created my own Routine which contains a mix of Accuracy, Speed and smoothness-Training in all important Categories of Aiming. Most Important Microshots, Click-Timing and Tracking. Aim Trainers are powerful Tools If you use them correctly. Don't let anyone Tell you Something Else. I'm a living Proof.

[@divaNR]

As someone that transitions from console to pc playing siege, aim trainers does help me to be better at Aiming. But imo, aim trainers are for helping us to adapt to mouse n keyboard when whe are starting to use those tool or maybe helping us to adapt when we are changing sensitivity. But nowadays, i just use aim trainers to do warmups before im launching my game only for 5-10 minutes

[@L1NKN]

Yay! Another episode of my favorite series! Love you're guys' work!

[@smooktober7639]

In my experience I've noticed that aim trainers do help my aim, and if I practice on them enough I see quick results. That being said there are game specific scenarios that sometimes can't be replicated. I also find that aim trainers help you get used to a new sens if for some reason you changed. I went from playing on 40cm/360 to 27cm/360 and I got used to it a lot quicker by playing aimlabs

[@4bangerkovaaks]

[@panosts6178]

It depends on the game really. I used to be on a contenders team in Overwatch as a hitscan dps player and I feel like training in any app that isn't OW is a waste of time. Aim in these types of games is really all about reading hitboxes and the best way to train for that is to shoot bots with these exact hitboxes

[@KiuHayakari]

Agreed.

[@upinsmokeproductions6471]

Aim Lab is one of my most played on my PC. Turn on some classical music and just chill with some grid shot.

[@reeb3687]

More on "Deliberate Practice": This is all about how, by doing the same activities over and over, you will reach a point of severe diminishing returns. To deliberately practice beyond this point, you must either increase the difficulty of what you're doing or change how it works completely. Once you increase the difficulty, you are more likely to be able to increase your proficiency within it at a higher rate before once again reaching the point of diminishing returns. This is why new players in games like Geometry Dash progress so much faster than players about 6 years ago. They had more challenging content to play which they didn't simply ignore because of thinking that it was too difficult. So how can you best practice? Make sure to make it more and more difficult as time goes on.

[@vikocho123]

"If you're not a good shot today, don't worry. There are other ways to be useful"

[@Aibadenshi]

IMO. It's better to aim train in the game you want to be good at instead of doing it outside since some factor can't be replicated outside of the actual game itself. Aim trainer only good for you when you boost up something new since it give you the starting edge but this won't last long.

[@TabbuEme]

Bro, I get myself into a situation where I have the biggest advantage ever and then just fucking miss my shots at a guy walking from behind or just not looking at me

[@wildeskompositum9556]

Honestly i feel the difference, i usually play Siege for couple of Hours and then Valorant for couple of Games and when i put aimlab before it my aim is pretty much improved and without its all over the place, this being said, i usually jump into Thunt and Deathmatch before playing matches too, it helps

[@aok9153]

It really isnt useful for anything besides point and click aim. And even then its useless because of recovery time between shots ingame Its like moving a steering wheel around in a static car to become a rally driver

[@willshikabob]

@@aok9153 Muscle memory is a thing, you know that right?

[@aok9153]

@@willshikabob Movement, counterstrafing, fire recovery time, recoil, crosshair placement and countless other things you only learn by you know, playing the game Clicking circles wont make you improve at whatever game you play You get better by playing the game.

[@willshikabob]

@@aok9153 I'm not denying that, but when you have games like Siege with nothing but t-hunt, it just doesn't work. Getting comfortable with your mouse as a baseline is something you build off, you don't immediately start with throwing 3 pointers, you start with ball handling.

[@aok9153]

@@willshikabob I get your point. Its like if you learn drifting, you wont send a 150kmh reverse entry as your first try. You learn the basics first But at the same time in games like cs. You improve the best by playing the game, deathmatch and watching pro games

[@pRopaaNS]

Aim trainers is a substitute to the epiphany, that keeping up a perfect crosshair placement 24/7 ingame is pretty much same thing as tracking flicking etc in an aim map. Other than solving the issue with how pressing mouse buttons can deviate your aim.

[@The_ASMR_Listener]

Aim training almost ruined my fps skill. I played aim lab and used all basic simulations for a total of 8+ hours a day or until my hand hurts and maybe play 1 round of apex or valorant etc. From my info I can say that I was the best crack shot I've been in my entire life. BUT after a two day break I try to play a without prior 30 minute practice I WAS WAY WAY WAY worse than how I started. my muscle memory was completely re-writin as if I didint practice 30 minutes before a game I'm like a person who picked up a mouse for the first time

[@fayne6552]

8 hours a day? You should be taking a break no wonder you aim is still bad

[@solen1849]

this is a good video, one point - consistent daily small sessions is better than like 5 hour sessions. I watched something about this topic where someone spent months in aim train and tracked their performance, i didn't think i would gain anything from this video and was very surprised the effort put into this video. Great job.

[@qolumbia3536]

Aim is important, but "aim trainers" really only cover one part of that, atleast in a good way which is mouse movement. You don't get other aspects of aim like crosshair placement, while they have been implenting modes in Aim Lab to mimic real game scenarios I feel like nothing beats playing a DM, where you practice movement, angles, crosshair placement, and some mouse movement all at once. I've played with people staring at the floor but hitting all headshots because they have nutty aim, presumably from playing other games. Aim trainers are good but don't JUST do an aim trainer.

[@ChiralWolf]

[@callmeacutekitten8106]
