Preparation and Setup
Before you start playing, it's important to ensure that the technical aspects won't let you down at a critical moment. Graphics settings and sensitivity are the foundation of stable gameplay.
- Set minimal graphics settings for stable frames.
- Disable mouse acceleration in Windows and in-game.
- Configure a comfortable crosshair through the console or workshop.
Do not blindly copy the settings of esports players. Adjust mouse sensitivity to fit your mousepad and grip.
Warm-up and Training
Never enter a ranked match "cold." 10-15 minutes of proper warm-up will significantly increase your hit percentage.
- 5 minutes of shooting at bots.
- 5 minutes on a Deathmatch server.
- Repeating grenade throws on an empty map.
Communication in Match
Information is the main weapon in team play. Learn to provide short and clear information about enemy positions.
Do not clutter the air with emotions after dying. State the enemy's position, damage dealt, and mute yourself.
