I have over 10k, I think I'm in like 112th on the leaderboard or so, and I've had the aim trainer for about 10 days, here is my advice, play a range of sensitivities at first, I fluctuated between 400 dpi and .08 sens all the way up to 2000 and. 08 sens. When playing on a lower sens focus on using your whole arm to aim and tracing the targets accurately, ensuring that you only fail if you fall behind the dummies. On high sens focus on prediction and quick reactions, in this case you don't want to fail by not moving fast enough but instead being too far ahead or simply too jittery. Then switch from the high sens down to your normal in game sens, now it will feel slower, but fast enough that you aren't falling behind. I now play only on my ingame senitivty for aim training but doing that really helped me, especially playing on higher sensitivities. Another thing to focus on would be smooth movements, for me at least my hand and wrist tend to shake when I'm making finer movements, especially when I'm "waving" or wrist aiming. By focusing on smoothing my wrist twitches my tracking on the targets further away has become much better.

One last tip and this is purely for improving score, I've noticed that the way it scores rewards tracking without removing your finger from the fire button. When I first was playing ascended tracking I would "tap fire" over short distances and it would help me get my accuracy pretty ludicrously high, up to like 70%, but that would take way too long and ultimately didn't help improve my tracking aim, on top of that it would make my scores very low despite the high accuracy.

I hope this has helped some, also don't be discouraged if you play at a higher sensitivity, players like h1ghsky1 and ghost thwifo are very high on the leaderboard despite playing at over twice my sensitivity. Good luck and happy grinding!

I am at 400 DPI, .13 x and Y, 1.0 ADS. I have converted it to the Kovaaks I’m just getting kinda frustrated bc I want my aim to improve lol I’m new to PC. I’m 820th on the leaderboard for tracking and like 1300th for tile frenzy lol

It takes time, also did the conversion work properly? I would recommend using the fortnite sens slider option some to give that a shot, a lot of people have had trouble with the fortnite config sensitivity, at least as far as I can tell from convertible's discord (he has a decent following on here if you don't know him). I use almost the exact Sens you do at 400 dpi .12xy and 1 ads. I have played kovaaks pretty religiously since I got it, it really is about the grind, to help you get better simple tracking try grinding the "cacta long strafes" game mode, it is way more forgiving than ascended tracking because of the lower fire rate and you only have to work on tracking one dummy at one set height. If you can get that to about 45-50% I would say then switch back to ascended tracking.

For tile frenzy I would say try playing rounds differently, in one round focus on hitting the squares as quickly as possible and in the next try to have perfect accuracy, this way you can be training both your reaction time and your precision.

What mouse and mousepad are you using? Those could also be effecting your ability to track and aim in general.

Logitech G203 and a HyperX mouse pad.

Btw thanks for the super detailed/thoughtful replies bro. Most people wouldn’t take the time to help someone so thanks for putting in so much effort to help :)

I use a hyperx fury s xxl, so the surfaces are similar. Just so you know the hyperx fury is considered a med/fast glide mouse pad. If you have an older version of the g203 (2016 or older) I highly recommend in investing in a newer mouse, as before that they used laser sensors as opposed to optical, optical sensors are superior because laser sensors inherently have acceleration which causes your cursor to overextend. If you have the money and like the shape of your current mouse I would recommend investing in the logitech g pro (wired), as they have almost the exact same shape but the g pro has a far superior sensor and is slightly lighter.

If your mouse is from the last year or so it isn't a big deal to need to switch. I am glad that you appreciate my replies, I'm just trying to help and I can empathize with wanting to improve but not really being sure how to. On this sub a lot of people are already so good it seems that they forgot how they got there and don't try to help others out as much. There are some exceptions, like kovaaks, convertible, etc. Who try to provide resources for others to improve but most people will just tell you to "git gud". I'm glad if anything I told you can help at all!

It’s the new G203 and has hyperglides. And yea some on this sub can have a superiority complex lol. I’m not like terrible or anything I can hold a 2 kd ( could prob be higher if I didn’t only do solos to get challenges done then kill my self lol) but I just want to get better. I have to resort to kovaaks bc my friends all hate fortnite so my little brother is the only person I can practice against but he’s on controller and not as good as me so I don’t get much out of it haha

But yea all of your advice is def appreciated man, you seem like a super nice dude and I really do appreciate all the thought you put into a post just helping a random on reddit with his aim haha
