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...

@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
@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.
