Just make sure you're using the right gun. I had a game once in a plat/diamond lobby where the top frag had 5% headshot rate. He was using classic phantom and judge with brimstone.


Breakzelawrencium

Brim is such a rat of a character, I love him. His smokes blocking vision make him insane with the shotgun, and his half way across the map molly, so many cheese kills you can get with him


Nhika

Smoke in general is good. Jett.. Clove now is a solo queue monster too.


OkOkPlayer

These are exactly the reasons why I also like Brim. Stim + Smoke + Odin is also a good strategy. There you don't have to land headshots either.

lol Val is my very first fps game on pc and I cheesed my way to diamond within 2 months by watching Perry and learning every lineup and only using judge and op. My friends were stunned


csgosm0ke

Crosshair placement is the main thing, not so much aim.


FlawsomeVictory

Do you need aim, if your crosshair placement is perfect?


csgosm0ke

Yes because there are times when you still need to adjust, whether it’s a flash or shooting a recon.


FlawsomeVictory

True

Nice. But get into the habit of tapping heads or spraying at heads. Body spraying will work in lower elo, but you'll discover when you hit diamond everyone just shoots heads and it becomes harder to win gunfights if you only shoot bodies


Barack_Bob_Oganja

Im ascendant 3/immo and have like a 15% hs rate lmao. You really do not need headshots to get a high rank


Substantial_Dot_5773

15% hs means you are at least able to get headshots sometimes. If you flank and have 3 people with their back turned you need to get headshots


FlawsomeVictory

True, but it helps.


WikY28

Congratulations? Doesn't making body spraying any less of a bad habit.


Unfair_Stop_8211

Nah you’re carried 🤣


Sad-Independence9753

send your tracker, i bet you have like less than 0.9kd


Routine_Size69

And yet they still hit immortal because some people are smart enough to play for the win rather than stats.


FlawsomeVictory

Indeed, but in higher ranks. People move alot so they are hard to shoot, if you Crouch spray them.  They cant deal with it. But its situational, but you cant rely on crouch sprays alone. You are gonna get one tapped so hard😅 Its a reason the Odin works so well in lower ranks. But crouch spraying alone is not weak, its just not the only answer every time.


DezDidNotCatchIt_

Nah

"Nice. But stop having fun"


TonyTheStoneGiant

This isn't a comment saying OP is having fun wrong, they mentioned they did this on the advice of a coach, so improvement clearly matters to them.


Unfair_Stop_8211

Bad coach


BTD6GODIVEX

so one tapping someone is less fun than missing a full mag?


Kenora_N

OP said they're having much more fun just landing body shots and everyone here is telling him to stop, you're missing the point here


Azod2111

He's having more fun because it works. When it will stop working, he'll have a way harder time getting used to tap headshot than he would now at lower rank


spawnss

people in diamond can't shoot anything let alone heads


FlawsomeVictory

Bro you got down voted hard😅 Yes diamond is not that skilled, still some of the shots are insane.


LuciferNeko

People click head already so fast in my silver gold elo wdym


PB_and_Cubes

That's probably more of a positioning and peeking mistake on your end tbh. If you watch high radiant, these players aren't getting headshot instantly, their movement and peeking helps them stay alive longer. They also take gunfights differently, making their fights longer


FlawsomeVictory

You are gonna find out how much faster and more scary they click heads in high elo. But still in this game aim is easy, just spray. One of the bullets hits most of the time. But this wont work against a aimer. You feel the difference in mechanical skills against a good aimer. Trust.


zaguoba

Those are pro numbers, you gotta pump them down


TheRealTofuey

Its incredibly easy to spray and pray your way to platinum. Thats about when that stops working very well. 


FlawsomeVictory

True 


ra1ded_

I don’t rlly car about hs whatever gets me the kill easiest is what I care about


Independent_Peace144

Im a guardian user so I'm just still stuck, because bodyshots puts me at a disad


goatman0079

I mean, the reason to avoid body shotting is that it's a bad habit.


seventysevenpenguins

This might work in low ranks but it's not a sustainable way to seek improvement, taking the L early on and having less high kill games because you're playing to improve not kill will help in the long run Pretty fucking funny tho don't think I've ever seen a ss like this


El_Desu

what youtube coach said that


Steki3

You do what you find enjoyable but be aware that this is a total crutch, it will heavily cripple your progress if you plan on improving your skill level.


Unfair_Stop_8211

This “coach” is giving terrible advice lol


FlawsomeVictory

Who is this coach?
