Camping Lessons or how to become like Qult— and play for the team.
Hi, I’m Qult— you may remember me either as a hacker with aimbot and esp, or as just a good player and moderator.
But in any case, now I decided to write tips for playing Ace Of Spades (Openspades, Build and shoot, Betterspades)
I decided to divide the tips into 2 groups: {1} group for general tips and behavior in the game, and {2} for aim training.
1} General tips and behavior in the game:
1) Never go straight to the enemy through the center in the midst of a shootout, it is better to go around, alternate between right and left detours to the enemy each time after death
- If you go to the center, then most likely you will notice the enemies at the same time as they notice you and you will not get the element of surprise
- Your task is to detect the enemies before they can notice you in order to have more time to aim
- When you go to the center, then the enemies who can notice you will be from three possible sides: left, center and right flank, which is why you will most likely be killed.
- You can go in a normal detour, this is when you will keep from the center at such a distance that you can notice the players in the center, or you can go in a long detour and you will most likely not be detected.
- If you go in a normal detour, then there will be fewer players who will notice you, but you will be able to observe many players who do not know your position.
- Also, if you go around, then in most cases you will meet potential opponents only from 2 sides: those who went around to meet you, and those who go straight ahead in the center.
2) Always strive to ensure that you are not seen by many players, limit the number of enemies who know about you or can detect you. - Always go in such ways that you can quickly hide and you are not visible from the center.
- for example, walk along the coast, or in such a route that you are covered by a hill or trenches.
- when circumstances force you to go through an area that is visible, then go behind it carefully with readiness for battle, be prepared to see the enemy and kill him.
- if you are running forward and expecting the same running opponents to meet you, then make a habit of trying to kill them as soon as they appear in your field of vision instead of waiting until they get closer.
- avoid looking into shelters 1 cube wide, as it is easier for enemies to aim at the center of the window in advance and wait for you.
3) Do not look into shelters from which you will be visible to several players.
you can instantly stand up and crouch to see what is there, but it is better not to linger there - For example, if you decide to stay in position for some time, then build such a stepped shelter:
This shelter is quickly built and is effective for all types of shooting: standing, crouching, jumping! - When you are in position and you are not seen, do not look into the shelter immediately, slowly go around the shelter increasing the viewing angle until you notice 1 enemy, now you can kill him.
- it can be effective if you do not stand close to the shelter but a block behind
- alternate viewing the front from the left and right side of the shelter, do not be afraid to pause before viewing the flanks.
Here are the advantages of such cover tactics:
4) Often the one who aims faster wins!
If you look back from cover in this way, you will be ready for battle compared to the enemy who will most likely just run and will not suspect you.
When you look back from cover, you limit the number of enemies who can fire at you from the angle at which you stuck your head out.
And therefore, even if several players noticed you, you can simply move away to see only 1 enemy.
5) Use the element of surprise: - do not shoot at the enemy’s body, otherwise he will notice you, it is better to rely on aim training and shooting in the head.
- at first, strive to make fewer shots but more decisive shots.
- for example, if the enemy is walking in a straight line, then set the sight a little further along the road at the level of his head and wait for the time when he enters it. over time, your headshot skill will grow to a new level
6) if you are noticed, it is important for you to gain experience in the feeling of when you will be killed. - if you see that the enemy is about to take aim, then move behind cover and then act like this:
- if there are other players, then just go to the other flank and use the element of surprise and without panic calmly ignore the enemy who knows about you and start killing other players.
- for example, you can reduce the viewing angle by closing the enemy who is aiming at you and focus on those players who are just moving forward, just without panic, act according to technique and effectively kill others
- You can just jump once in an unexpected place or abruptly stand up from a crouch to see how the enemy who was aiming at you is doing.
7) If you are fighting an enemy who is aiming at you, then step back before he tries to hit you, then step back and attack him from a different place each time - for example, if you are using my shelter, then you have 5 different places: on each side: crouching, abruptly standing up and jumping.
- don’t rush to attack an enemy who knows about you, it is better to wait until he loses his firing readiness (at this moment you can kill others) and then, having aimed in advance, try to attack him from an unexpected place.
- use this trick, when you change position, do not move the mouse, but just move, when you stick out from another place, your sight will be next to the enemy
All this serves 1 purpose, not to give the enemy time to hit you, - If several players are walking along a flat road, then first try to kill those who are walking behind so that the front players do not react
If you are going around, then alternate the side you are going to each time. this is necessary so that the opponents do not take your previous position to kill you when you arrive. - if you are worried about your effectiveness in some turbulent moments, then just remember that all you wanted from the game the first time was to enjoy the game and not to be effective, and just try to enjoy the game again. you are doing this for your own pleasure.
8) By effectively killing players, you are playing for the team and allies who have not received resistance in the center will go closer to the enemies and the firefight will shift to the enemy side. - allies on enemy territory will distract the enemies to themselves and you will have a window of opportunity to quietly kill enemies.
9) Do not strive to shoot all the time, otherwise your position will be quickly revealed, strive to kill quietly and only in the head. - if you see that you are not good enough, then limit yourself to killing only builders and convenient direct targets in order to play more effectively and for the team.
- if you notice that you miss a lot, then it is better to concentrate, and make fewer shots and spend more time on aiming better so that you always hit the enemy. - over time, you will simply speed up when you feel the regular accuracy of your shots.
2}aiming training:
1) Download a mod for your client’s sight.
2) Watch several video guides for eSports, for example, I retrained myself from scratch to play holding the mouse using the ClawGrip method. - for example, you can watch several Esport video guides about Counter Strike 2, namely, how to hit accurately.
3) Play with headphones with 3D sound turned on to hear the movements of enemies and hear their positions.
4) It is important to reduce the sensitivity of the mouse. - eSportsmen use a trick - they lower the sensitivity of the mouse and get used to playing as it gives:
- Low sensitivity allows you to perform more precise and smooth movements, which is especially important for shooting at heads (headshots), where high precision is required.
- Sight movements become more controlled, since even a small movement of the hand does not lead to a significant deviation of the sight.
- It is easier to track moving targets at a long distance, since the sight does not “jump” too quickly.
- Slow mouse movement makes the aiming process more stable.
- Small sight adjustments become easier, which is important when shooting from sniper rifles or when “squeezing” a burst.
- Wide hand movements allow for more fine-grained adjustment of the sight position.
- The player adapts faster to repetitive movements (for example, moving the sight between points when shooting at corners).
- I play on mouse sensitivity (2) using the betterspades client.
- do not lower the sensitivity immediately to a low value, you can lower the sensitivity by a certain value every 2 weeks and get used to new conditions.
- if your mouse pad is too small, then replace it and buy a large mouse pad for eSports players.
- if you want to get more advantages, you can buy an eSport mouse with a 1ms delay, but this is not necessary
5) Warm up your hands before the game. - Before playing, you can do a good and quick warm-up of both hands from shoulder to wrist using a technique from physical education. I sometimes do this if I feel that I am not playing effectively.
- I also once bought a PowerBal wrist trainer and twisted it so that my hand would get used to the loads and become stronger
- You don’t have to twist the PowerBal, but it is very important to warm up your hand before the game so that your hand can quickly get used to the new mouse sensitivity.
6) Use games to practice shooting. - Sometimes when I am called a cheater, I like to say that “I use Aimtastic to shoot better” :).
- So spend 10 minutes a day to strive to be more effective in Aimtastic.
- How many players do you kill per game round in Aos? From this value, you can find out how much useful experience you get per day.
- play Aimtastic and your experience that your brain gets will increase and the techniques that you get there will go to other games.
- I also sometimes play on the Fl server | Aim training. On this server you can change the difficulty: /difficulty easy, normal, hard
in Aimtastic spend more time on 2 modes “Reflex” and “popup target flicks”
