Deathmatch Pre-aim Practice
Run around in Deathmatch with good intention, pre-aiming corners. Be prepared to dead zone when an enemy appears, but avoid stopping in the open. Keep moving until you can adjust your crosshair.
[00:15]
Range Drill: Moving Strafes
In the Range, set practice mode with bots that don't strafe. Stand in the pit and move left and right, killing each bot. Place your crosshair away from the target so it falls onto them as you move in one direction.
[00:41]
Tracking Next to Head
While moving, track slightly next to the bot's head—enough that your crosshair will still fall onto the target, but not so little that you have no mouse movement. This drill teaches using movement to support aim while staying calm.
[00:53]
Dock Area Drill: Faster Strafes
Go to the dock area outside the range. Practice shorter strafes and prioritize killing targets and drones faster. This drill combines aim and movement rather than isolating them.
[01:06]
Two-Bullet Burst Sync
Perform a two-bullet burst, then strafe in a continuous direction until ready for another two-bullet burst. This teaches you to sync your aim with your movement for better accuracy.
The drills emphasize integrating movement with aim to reduce panic and improve accuracy in Valorant. Consistent practice of these drills will help players stay calm and perform better in combat.

[00:01] in Valorant. Run around in DM with good intention. Pre-aim like this, but be prepared to dead zone when someone appears. However, fire instincts by not just stopping in the open. Keep moving until you have the chance to adjust your
[00:15] crosshair. Now, hop into the range. First, put on practice and make sure the bots don't have strafe in the settings. We want to be in the pit and we'll be moving left and right killing each bot [music] one by one. We want to put our
[00:27] crosshair away from our target bot so that our crosshair will fall onto them as we move in one direction, like this. So, for example, if we're moving left, right. Now, when we're moving, we want to be tracking next to the bot's head
[00:41] slightly. Enough where our crosshair will still fall onto the target, but not too little where we have no mouse movement at all. The purpose of this drill is to help us understand how we can use our movement to support our aim
[00:53] while keeping calm and allowing ourselves to take our time. For another drill, go outside to the dock area. Here, we want to practice shorter strafes and prioritize killing the targets and drones faster. This, again,
[01:06] aim together rather than just one in isolation. So, we'll be doing a two-bullet burst, then strafing in a continuous direction till we're ready [music] for another two-bullet burst, like this. This teaches you to correctly
[01:20] so that you are [music] in better sync with your movement.
