this game sucks

@Zriyvhriex  Well... yeah. Common beginner mistakes are the following:

Focus on Crosshair, when in reality you should focus the target.

Being too hectical. Better hit 3 proper shots than none or 5 by accident.

Too high sensivitys.... one of the biggest mistakes MOST if not all beginners do. "This mouse has 16000 DPI, must be good!" - its not. Go with 400dpi or so, 1000 pollrate and chose a sensivity within the range of 2 to 5 ingame would be my suggestion. Pick a sensivity and become good with it, dont copie other people.

Check if your mouse is too big or too small for you.... know what kind of grip you use. Palm, Claw, Finger and what not and watch some info about what mouse fits best. Zowie as example has same model mouses for different hand sizes, so i recommand them.

Preaim on info and start shooting before you actually see the target. Probably a bit more advanced with higher time needed to practice but def. a point where you will get to.

I could expand the list to a whole book actually.

@myHEXOR Any tips for aiming, then? I mean, I'm horrible so it would kinda help me out at least, and anybody who reads this too.

I recommend getting aim lab on steam (it's free, and small) and doing a few pre-programmed courses on that. Specifically to check WHAT about your aim needs work. The program is by no means flawless but personally it's been a big help to me by showing WHAT i need to work on. I knew (and my friends made sure to remind me) that i had horrible aim and tbh apex to the fps i've probably sunk the most hours in ever. I knew i had "bad aim" but as it turns out my accuracy and flicking are , fairly good 80-90 percentile on the program. What i'm horribad at is reaction speed and tracking , (both @ the 40th percentile).

Long story short. If you just can't hit a target, thats an easy fix, work on senzitivity settings, do some target practice. On the other hand if you're not hitting the target because the target is juking thats a decision making problem. You need to anticipate a moving target not try to react to it.

@Powerofdoi 

I can agree to the part in which people lack anticipation for enemy movement. However, even that can be worked around if your aim is good.

You will have enemys with very uncommon movement, the higher in competition you get, the more common those kind of enemys are. So what you need 100% of the time is the capability to hit them regardless of movement or positioning. If your flicking is good and your tracking isn't, i suggest to make your flicking even better and practice tracking passivly.

If it comes to aim practice - KovvaKs FPS Aim Trainer is the best tool for practice that i have found so far.

imo - Aim Lab, Aimtastic is alright at best
