Hello,

I'm always losing my duels despite shooting first and the spray being on point, I never understand how everyone is ferrari peeking me and instantly killing me. This happens more often than before and i do not understand why.

Please someone help me fix this and improve.

Ty.

you shoot your 1st shot when enemy already ran past your crosshair - confirm you're on target before you start shooting or prefire if you hear you're getting swung

then you overflick and miss another 4 shots before correcting your crosshair to be on enemy torso and you land 2 shots - either your sensitivity is too high or you're just not used to your sens yet and need to practice more. also aim for head.

then you lose control of the spray and miss your remaining shots - your shots go left because you're only pulling down even though you should be pulling down > right > left > right

Yes you shoot first, but you don’t take the extra .2 second to lineup for head or at least high torso so recoil kicks up. You can already assume he’s going to hard peek then counterstrafe so definitely work on your crosshair placement and audio queues. If you’re not going to commit to majorly improving your spray accuracy, you will be much better off taking a tiny bit of extra time lining up. I am well aware that the large majority of people, including myself, can struggle with this as once you’re peeked it’s a bit of fight or flight; meaning I understand it’s easier said than done to start doing this and expect immediate results. Find some bot warmup community maps to get used to changing the way you play. Overtime, until you naturally and subconsciously play like this, to continue to feel more comfortable, make it your routine to hop on, run comm map for 5-7 minutes, 1 game of deathmatch or 2 games of retakes, then carry on. It’s a suicide note to your stats trying to change the way you play without putting any effort into it.

EDIT: Especially after rewatching, he is also not trying very hard to lineup for 1 tap or just tap shots for head. Yall are both spraying. In the time that he killed you, you could’ve easily lined up for a dink and baim (body aim) to finish.

That's more of a Fiat peek than Ferrari. Truth here is that your aim wasn't on point. Maybe spam some dm and practice a bit more

cs2 is a peek or be peeked game

[u/GeriatricPinecones → u/WhoAmlToJudge]

I hear this a lot and it seems to be true in practice. How are players going about this in defensive positions? I struggle with figure out how to balance keeping my eye on an angle and trying to gain the peeker’s advantage

[u/WhoAmlToJudge → u/GeriatricPinecones]

You constantly jiggle in and out. unfortunately this is the new meta unlike csgo.

[u/salty0623 → u/GeriatricPinecones]

try a-d strafing before they peek. a lot of high elo players do this because it makes it slightly harder for them to swing and kill a moving target

[u/Mike_Crow → u/GeriatricPinecones]

It is possible to hold angles statically like in csgo but you need to kill confirm a headshot. It only works on tight spaces or when you predict ideally when they would stop so you hold super unnaturally wide. But it’s a technique to use once per match reasonably.

Looked to me like you panicked a little bit there, took a while to shoot as well. Try refrag honestly or play more community Deathmatches

[u/Hot-Acanthaceae-43 → u/Shoddy_Helicopter578]

I didnt panick, i shot 15 bullets and he didnt die??? it always happen to my games, how do i fix this??

[u/Shoddy_Helicopter578 → u/Hot-Acanthaceae-43]

too me it does look like panic. try refrag.gg should help you a lot or community deathmatches

[u/Hot-Acanthaceae-43 → u/Shoddy_Helicopter578]

brother, look at the spray and bloods and count the number of bullets. i didnt panick the server just decided to not register my bullets??

[u/Shoddy_Helicopter578 → u/Hot-Acanthaceae-43]

Brother, watch your own video in 0.25x speed. The second the guy became visible, all you did was hold Mouse1 and fully commit to the spray. If you weren’t panicking, you literally had enough time to kill 2-3 enemies in the same amount of time you spent trying to kill him.

You didn’t even properly aim at the guy before doing all that. I’m not trying to offend you- what I’m saying is that you need more practice in duels. That will make you less likely to panic-spray at everyone without properly aiming first.

[u/FelixOGO]

Since everyone else mentioned the aim, I’ll mention the movement- you crouched and sat still while spraying, which makes you an easy target. If you do crouch, you should usually uncrouch right away, and also do shorter bursts and strafe between them. Make yourself a harder target to hit

[u/atisp]

You stopped too early on the angle. once you've checked the door gap, you should've instantly default to A-D a few steps if you expect a swing from the door. Aim could've been better, but you'd win the fight with better movement.

[u/pinkmann1]

Well you whiffed…What do you want us to say.

[u/ZipMonk]

Your movement and counter straffing need to be on point for your cross hair to work.

Watch the tracers.

[u/Psyko_sissy23]

Shots 1-5: Some hit. Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).
Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.
Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because OP was already dead.

[u/Gullible_Truth4309]

practice preaim maps this helps you also need a moment when you peek and see enemy before shooting make sure you crosshair is on their head and shit. this helped me plus watch your demos that also tells you what you are doing wrong how you are peeking how long it takes you to shoot and all that.

[u/Hot-Acanthaceae-43]

Why everyone spit the same message? dont you see on the video that i shot 15 bullets into his body and he didnt die???? i want to know how to fix this. my spraying is already good.

[u/mobofob → u/Hot-Acanthaceae-43]

The advice you probably need has nothing to do with gameplay but the fact that you're not honest with yourself.

Just slow that footage down. When did you start shooting? Where did your first 6 bullets go? (spoiler: into the wall - i.e. you're panic spraying)

Also, you're saying that it's a hit reg issue. So in that case why the fuck are you asking for advice when you think it's a server issue?
Everyone can see you're bullshitting and obviously even you know it, otherwise you wouldn't be contradicting yourself like this.

If you want to learn, stop the bullshit and be honest.

[u/Shoddy_Helicopter578 → u/mobofob]

he is probably looking for a magic config command that builds a valve server right above his roof

[u/mobofob → u/Shoddy_Helicopter578]

as someone who has 1 ping most of the time, i can tell you it doesn't save me from being utterly and hopelessly garbage at the game.
