Consoles: How do you do the nasty strafe?
I'm now level 400 and just wanted to learn how to strafe while aiming. I see that strafing mid fight is the only skill that I lack since after 4400 levels I just went with the normal controls. So wha...

@Cheese9Man I struggle to remember to hip fire close in. To me that really is the key to moving while shooting.
If you can't strafe and aim too great, utilise peaking instead.
Failing that just practice in the firing range for a while until that feels comfy and take it into the game from there.
As for the crouch spammers, for the truly high speed spam I don't think these players are using r3 as crouch...probably a separate button, or they're using paddles. Its an awkward thing to do with r3 as crouch.
- @MandatoryIDtag I agree but you really don't have to spam it a whole lot to make it effective.
@hayhorSpend time in Firing Range, & hip fire ONLY. Hip-fire at the dummies at ANY range, to practice constantly having your crosshairs perfectly situated over the target. I mostly use Volt & R9. Overall, this helps quite a bit in the long run. Get familiar with how viable the hip-fire of your favorite / most commonly used guns are, at close/mid range. You'll instinctively resort to hip fire in-game, after practicing enough
It also helps quite a bit to turn ON the Bots (so they move, & shoot back at you).
Also L3 crouch spam is goated on controller. L3 for crouch/slide, crouch on HOLD, auto sprint ON. That + practice will 100% improve your crouch spam fire- @decimation92 I'll give it a go. I even thought about playing with randoms with the rule where I only hip fire no matter what the distance.
- @Cheese9Man My layout is pretty much totally custom. For crouch though, it's bound to L3, That way I can move and Crouch/slide with the same stick/finger. As for better strafing, learn to hip fire more. ADS-ing severely reduces your movement speed in that regard.
@MandatoryIDtag Yeah. people need to remember that almost every weapon in this game is projectile, which makes peaking and firing a very optimal approach.
@decimation92 I don't know if I really agree with auto sprint ON. I see why you do it. But auto sprint delays your shoots/you being able to fire your gun, so it'll mess with your reaction time, in a gun fight. I suppose, you would get used to it after a while, but I never stuck with it long enough for that to happen. I tried utilizing the setting multiple times, but just could never really make it work for me. It made everything feel a little more clunky and I didn't like that. Again, this is just my experience with it.
