Before you begin For clicking and switching: try to make smooth and straight motions from one target to another and actively try to land your shot from one target to the next one, with minimal to no micro-correcting. In addition, try to have the next target in mind. For tracking: try to be as smooth and precise as you can, react to direction changes as fast as you can, but make sure to transition into a smooth tracking motion committing to the direction that the bot is going, focus on reacting not predicting. Also make sure to focus on the target instead of just looking at it or eye-locking on your crosshair. By focusing on the target, you essentially help yourself to read the target’s movement better. Also make sure to check out the routine vods[1] to get an idea of how to play these scenarios properly, so that you can make the best out of your training. Why should you follow these routines? These routines are based on feedback from a group of skilled and experienced individuals in different genres / areas with strong and varying opinions, who have all contributed or shared their thoughts to make sure the scenarios are appropriate. This has had a positive impact on the outcome of the routines and their respective scenarios. The constructive criticism helped with forging a strong foundation of routines and scenarios that will help you with your training. You can consult the credit section to see all the contributors. Playlists with the main scenarios are available for download and linked for each routine provided. However, we would encourage players to branch out of the playlists and find complementary scenarios that can assist with weaknesses or present more / less[2] of a challenge. To add a playlist, download the appropriate file and paste it into Steam/steamapps/common/FPSAimTrainer/FPSAimTrainer/Saved/SaveGames/Playlists . Disclaimer: The scenarios underneath are subject to change. Our goal is to keep this document up-to-date with scenarios that we recommend people to play. These scenarios are by no means the best, it is always best to match scenarios that are appropriate for your skill level and weaknesses. VALORANT & COUNTERSTRIKE Recommended FOV for Valorant: 103 valorant Recommended FOV for Counterstrike: 90 source About this routine This routine focuses on different aspects that will be useful in real game situations, such as being smooth when spraying or acquiring targets, so that it is easier to actually time your shots. Another important aspect; this scenario focuses on target acquisition and speed, so that you can acquire targets more accurately and faster, which is why the switching scenarios above are added to the routine. The clicking scenarios should help with target acquisition, click-timing, reaction based clicking, reading skills (in case they’re moving) and micro-adjustments (if applicable). Finally, one can make use of the movement clicking scenarios to get used to the strafe clicking aiming style and practice it.

Switching between the two sensitivities (your valorant sens, and twice your valorant sens) is a useful middle ground to leverage in your training. If your VALORANT sens is already high (under 35cm/360°), go 1.5x or 1.2x your VALORANT sens. Don’t get to the point where you are using sub 15cm/360°, because that might hurt your wrist. Absolute scores in the Kovaak scenarios are not important, and some scenarios will favor some sensitivities over others. Make sure you track YOUR OWN improvement. Don’t compare yourself to people in the leaderboards / your friends, only compare yourself to where you were the last time you practiced. The routine will change over time based on feedback, and I will add in-game clips that mirror each scenario. Caveat: this is only a support routine. You don’t get great aim in VALORANT just by doing this, you need to also play a lot of deathmatch and focus on your crosshair placement, and a lot of ranked matches and work on your gamesense. Those things win you games; your raw aim might win you a few fights. Both things are important, and a proper routine has Kovaak’s -> Deathmatch -> Ranked every day. Ideally you should play this routine first, then 1 hour deathmatch to try to replicate in game the movements you practiced in this routine, then ranked where you’re in the “real world” of VALORANT and you try to use your synthetic training to actually win games and climb the leaderboard. If you are really lacking in gamesense, find a coach that is willing to VoD review with you (fastest way to improve) or VoD review yourself, but make sure you really analyze logically each single decision you, your teammates, and your enemies make. If you want to actually become a pro, you need to study what pros do, and especially, how they react to situations. Watch VoDs of pros that play the same agents and positions you tend to play, see how they react to events on the map and information on their screen, see how they position themselves, always take your time to properly analyze the whole round (enemy economy, team economy, pushes happening in the map), and really try to understand WHY the player you are watching made a given decision. This is what brings you to the next level in VALORANT. Caveat #2: for Kovaak’s to be useful, you need to really think about how you are using your mouse while training. Clean lines, where you only use as much movement as needed to get from point A to point B, is where you want your aiming skill to get. Sure, flicking around at an extremely high speed might look cool, but it will only lose you games in VALORANT. Make sure you can control your mouse as if it was an extension of your arm, maximize your efficiency for each of your movements, never move your mouse an inch more than needed to reach your target. This is the idea that you should have in mind when practicing your aim. Tip: The duration of the scenarios are arbitrary, you can decide how much time you spend on each scenario. We recommend 30-40 minutes, but you may spend more time if you wish. The reason for that is, because playing the game is more effective practice. The VT bardOZ Advanced Routine for VALORANT Duration: 32-44 minutes | Copy & Paste share code underneath via Online Playlist tab on KovaaKs | routine vods KOVAAKSTRACKINGJITTERYLOWGROUND 1. voxTS Voltaic - 4 minutes (2x Double Sens & 2x Normal Sens) 1. How: Play twice on double your VALORANT sensitivity and twice on your VALORANT sensitivity. Focus on being very fast between the switches but also controlling your crosshair once you get to the enemy. Switch as fast as you can after you get the kill, use a kill confirmed sound (VALORANT has a kill confirmed sound too). 2. Why: This helps you in those situations where you need to spray transfer, which happens for example when holding a site on Defenders and you get the enemy team executing your site. The movements in this scenario are also good for general smooth crosshair placement. 2. Pokeball Frenzy Auto 1w2ts - 4 minutes (2x Double Sens & 2x Normal Sens) 1. How: Focus on not over-flicking and having clean lines between targets. Switch as fast as you can once you kill. 2. Why: This is the kind of movement you often do when in a clutch situation like 1v2 and enemies decide to peek together, you might need to flick to one of them (example) who might not be where your crosshair position currently is. Hold fire all the time. This scenario helps get that first movement + micro correction right. The pokeball version is played first to help get you in the flow, to have clean lines and not going unnecessarily fast. 3. Pokeball auto ww6t - 4 minutes (2x Double Sens & 2x Normal Sens) 1. How: You need to smoothly move from one target to the next, and speed up when the targets cluster together. Focus on being able to dynamically pace yourself based on what you have on screen. Bind your fire to shift instead of Mouse1 so that you can have the same tension on the mouse that you’d have in game. 2. Why: This kind of movement is done all the time subconsciously in VALORANT: when you navigate the map, you constantly do large and small angle movements to keep your crosshair placement in the right position. Eventually you want to get to the point where you instantly change the angle you are holding based on info (sound, comms, gamesense); this scenario helps you be sharp when you do this movement. You might be surprised by the amount of kills being very quick in your crosshair placement will get you. Especially when proper team communications are present, if you instantly move your crosshair to where your teammate told you an enemy is instead of slowly getting there, you might avoid having to large-angle flick to their head, which is an unfavorable scenario to be in. 4. 1w2ts reload - 4 minutes (2x Double Sens & 2x Normal Sens) 1. How: Focus on not over-flicking and having clean lines between targets. Switch as fast as you can once you kill. 2. Why: This is the actual “simulation” of what might happen in a game, since we incorporate also firing once at the target. Make sure not to drop your accuracy below 85%, and eventually get to a point where you can get close to your high score with 95%+ accuracy, because in VALORANT you are highly penalized for missing your first shot, so if you learn to just go fast but with low accuracy you are actually gaining a bad habit in VALORANT. 5. 5 sphere hipfire extra small - 4 minutes (2x Double Sens & 2x Normal Sens) 1. How: The goal here is to maximize the speed at which you can micro correct, so really focus on a good pace and strengthen your habit of micro correcting quickly and accurately after you do the initial small angle flick. 2. Why: Now we move onto small angle training, which is actually the most important thing in VALORANT. When your crosshair placement is already good and someone peeks, in that little 300-400ms window of time you will have a target that suddenly comes to a stop and is stationary while trying to kill you. This is when you microcorrect the inevitable mistakes your crosshair placement will sometimes have, and this scenario helps you hit those shots, which are the most important ones in VALORANT. 6. 6wall18targets small reload - 4 minutes (2x Double Sens & 2x Normal Sens) 1. How: Focus on being fast and on still having clean lines even on the awkward angles from this scenario. 2. Why: Sometimes in VALORANT (especially compared to CS:GO) you have situations with a lot of awkward angles to check, especially in maps like Icebox or in places like A site in Haven. This scenario helps you navigate your angles in 3D in a cleaner way, so that you will be able, for example, to defend a bomb plant in A site Haven even if you have a flank coming from A Long and someone retaking from A heaven (180° angles, with vastly different verticality). 7. Floating Heads Timing 400% - 4 minutes (2x Double Sens & 2x Normal Sens) 1. How: Focus on not dropping under 85% accuracy, and avoiding useless movements, because in game if you miss your first shot on this kind of “easy to read” moving targets, you might die because of second shot inaccuracy / getting 1hs from the enemy. 2. Why: This scenario is very close to the kind of movement and speed that opponents might have while swinging out of an angle. This is the kind of shot that you shouldn’t miss. 8. SmoothBot Invincible Goated - 4 minutes (4x Double Sens) optional * 1. How: You need to smoothly track the bot and recenter the mouse when needed, especially on lower sens. Your focus here should be learning not to tense too much when having to move smoothly. 2. Why: Most of the time in VALORANT you are not in a fight, but might be moving around. When moving, your goal should be to consistently keep your crosshair to a position where an enemy can peek from, so that if they do peek, you can instantly stop and shoot. Many people underestimate how important having your crosshair placement correct when moving around is. This is what wins you clutches. When you are navigating angles (using objects to your advantage to take a fight, for example in 1v1s with the bomb down) you need to smoothly track an imaginary point in space which is where you expect your enemy to pop out. Since you will be moving during the clutch, either walking or running depending on whether your position is known to your enemy, you are basically smoothly tracking a point; which is the movement this scenario teaches you. This scenario has verticality too, which is also good for those situations where a Raze or Jett might be flying in an arc and you need to spray and track her. 9. Centering I - 4 minutes (2x Double Sens & 2x Normal Sens) optional * 1. How: No verticality, but same as above. 2. Why: Exact same reason as the Smoothbot scenario, apart from the Raze/Jett thing. Most times when navigating angles your smooth movement will be horizontal (at head level in front of you), imagine for example if you’re in a 1v1 on C site in Haven, and you know the enemy is on Default plant and you’re Backsite. You will be moving and smoothly holding an angle horizontally. This simulates that movement from your mouse. 10. Pistol Strafe Gallery Small - 4 minutes (2x Double Sens & 2x Normal Sens) optional * 1. How: Use your fire button in the same way you’d spam a pistol in close range in VALORANT. Constantly be moving. 2. Why: With pistols (and, in the current meta, with Phantom) in close range you can actually shoot while moving and retain a decent accuracy. Considering pistols have a huge weight in VALORANT (winning the pistol round usually causes you to win 2 rounds, which is 2 out of 12 in a side, which is VERY impactful), learning to do this kind of shooting is very important. In general, moving and tracking enemies is a movement that also helps your crosshair positioning (see next scenarios). 11. Reflex Micro++ Flick Reload Small - 4 minutes (2x Double Sens & 2x Normal Sens) optional * 1. How: Just get the highest score you can. 2. Why: Sometimes you will be caught off guard and need to quickly adjust, it’s inevitable. This scenario helps you with that, it’s a pretty straight-forward scenario that is really about reacting quickly to the targets popping up on screen.

Ground Plaza Sparky v3, Air no ufo no skybots, MFSI, VSS Close-Mid Long and VSS gpaio all help to learn smooth and reactive tracking without adding too much overwhelming movement. The routine also includes smooth tracking scenarios for both horizontal and vertical angles. This should help with being more composed and make the transition from reactive to smooth tracking easier. The Low and High ground version of Plaza are important to incorporate, because they don’t happen frequently in-game, so it can be useful to work on them during your training. LG Pin Practice has a niche mechanic from Quake and Diabotical, which should help improve target acquisition, mouse control and get better at this mechanic. Pattargetswitch 90 no reload and Slide Targets are supposed to help develop low fov LG target switching at mid range, like during a quad run. The clicking scenarios are meant to improve your railgun skills. For the movement based scenarios, it should help to learn fundamentals and become better at certain niche scenarios such as T1 Drop Punish, where the target hovers above you and you need to punish it before it falls down. The rocket scenario below is one of the few and underrated dodge scenarios where you need to be both accurate and constantly dodge projectiles.

Quake LG 1v1 Rockets or Stralroom FS Dodge - 10 minutes optional * ________________ KovaaK 2.0 - LG 1v1 Routine Purpose The routine provided is unorthodox in comparison to other published routines for a strong LG, and was put together to help with issues players have when jumping into actual LG duels. Traditional Kovaak’s movement scenarios can cause players to develop bad habits when it comes to LG dueling. These Traditional movement scenarios tend to reward movement that makes a player much easier to hit. Practicing specifically as directed in this routine, will help a player learn to dodge and aim independently to more efficiently deal damage to others while avoiding damage themselves. Disclaimer: This should supplement, not be a replacement for, 1v1 LG Practice with partners inside Quake/Diabotical. The only movement scenarios that should be played for a high score are (Cycle Strafes Long, Cycle Strafes Fast, and Close FS Quick Dodge). 1. Contains warm up exercises, so no warm up needed prior to starting the routine 2. Establishes independence between your right and left hands 3. Asks the player to focus on Dodging What this routine does not do: 1. Focus on tracking for other Quake/Diabotical game modes outside of 1v1 LG/Shaft fights 1. TDM/Duel/Macguffin/Wipeout etc… 2. Teach Fundamental Strafe Aim (mirroring/anti-mirroring/half-sideways) 3. Teach Smoothness or Reactivity Duration: 60 minutes - Copy & Paste share code underneath via Online Playlist tab on KovaaKs KOVAAKSBINDINGMAROONWINDOW 1. Midrange Long Strafes V2 - 2 runs 2. Pole Long Dodge - 3 runs 1. Back up into a corner, focus on spamming Left and Right Strafe, and keeping the crosshair centered 3. Anti-Mirror LS 360 Thin Robsai - 3 runs 1. Focus on being smooth and anti-mirroring these bots, get warm and DO NOT reposition unless out of mousepad space. This scenario should start warming up your arm aim 4. Close LS Easy Dodge - 3 runs 1. Play this by holding left or right strafe and only left or right strafe for the entire bot. Switch direction when you kill the bot. This should cause you to circle the bot 5. Cycle Strafes Long - 5 runs 1. The secret to this scenario is making sure you get a good movement score, and then tracking the bot with your mouse hand independently of how you are moving. You need to learn independence in your hands to help do better at hitting with LG while doing insanely good dodging 6. Cycle Strafes Fast - 5 runs 7. Close FS Quick Dodge - 3 runs 1. Track the bot while strafing left and right very quickly. Try to get a perfect movement score. Do not mirror this and cheese the scenario 8. Air UFO 10x - 1 run 1. We must throw in reactivity between the smooth tracking/hand independent scenarios and a good score here also requires some smoothness in hitting a very difficult target 9. XY Tracking Dodge - 3 runs 1. From this point on the focus needs to be 60% Dodge - 40% hitting the target. Be erratic with your dodges and make sure to use the whole room to dodge. Do not move in any predictable manner, do not start strafe aiming to make the target easier to hit. The bot is easy to hit, so you should still be able to get decent accuracy while focusing on erratic and random dodges 10. LG Duel 1v1 Diabotical - 5 runs 1. Again focus on dodging while you try to kill this bot. DO NOT PLAY THIS FOR SCORE. Try to be very erratic with your dodges and put everything together to be reactive and smooth with your tracking. If a bot spawns far from you, take the opportunity to practice the longer range instead of +forwarding into the bot. If you are hitting above 50% accuracy through the scenario, you are either insane or you are moving to maximize your accuracy instead of not getting hit. In-game 10-60 minutes 1. QC Unholy Trinity LG or All Weapon FFA or LG 1v1 Duels - 10-30 minutes 1. Start up a match and choose on of the above modes in a game of choice: Quake Live / Diabotical / Quake Champions 2. You may choose to use LG only 2. Instagib or Rail 1v1 Duels - 10-30 minutes 1. Start up a match and do Instagib / Rail only duels in a game of choice: Quake Live / Diabotical / Quake Champions ________________ FORTNITE Recommended FOV for Fortnite: 80 FN (TPS) or 103 ow (FPS) | routine vods About this routine The Fortnite routines below have similar movement speed or more challenging scenarios that are close to in-game situations. Air 2 Smooth should help you learn to effectively and smoothly track a target that randomly changes strafe directions. The other two air variants are excellent practice, because one is angled close and the other one is angled further away so you can work on two distances and track without predicting. All the smoothness scenarios are important for Fortnite, because Fortnite doesn’t really need that much reactivity as there isn’t much dodging. Both B180T Sparky and patTargetShotgun are solid choices to learn to switch targets quickly after eliminating one. Pasu should help with acquiring, reading and timing your clicks appropriately to hit your targets efficiently. The static scenario should help with the most pure fundamental aiming drills. The hybrid scenarios such as Air Infantry and FN Gliders 360 HS, can help you practice higher-ttk clicking, which requires proper reading skills and consecutive timed clicks on the same target, which is common in Fortnite, but is often neglected. The charge routines should help with the current Fortnite meta, because it introduces a new aiming mechanic that most players are not familiar with. You have a choice to play the FPS version of the routine or the TPS version, the latter feels closer to the game, but the former allows you to see more of the map and targets.

The Apex routine below is effective practice, because it includes scenarios that are very closely related to in-game situations. The new training provides easy scenarios for users just getting started with Apex and aim training, Advanced scenarios that will be much harder but are great for fine tuning mechanics that you will use in game. Due to Apex having many different weapons, and many different ranges for taking fights, we also have included a category specific section where you can target types of aim that are issues for you e.g. close range strafe aim fights. DISCLAIMER It’s important to keep in mind for Strafe Aiming scenarios, they are to be played to the specificity outlined within the document. Not doing so will have a significant direct impact on the benefits you’ll see from playing these scenarios, it’s important to take the proper steps to getting the most out of your time training. VT APEX 2.0 EASY Recommended for Gold and above COMPLETE FOCUS Duration: 60-70 minutes - Copy & Paste share code underneath via Online Playlist tab on KovaaKs KOVAAKSCHOKINGCLOSEBUG 1. Revolving Tracking Slow - 5 runs 1. Description: Improve your tracking by revolving around a static target. 2. How: Do your best not to reset and track the target for as long as possible. 3. Why: This helps work on your wide angle tracking, and in certain scenarios when you slide around a target. 2. B180T Voltaic Regen - 5 runs 1. Description: Track a target with high ttk and regen that has a predictable arc pattern 2. How: Focus on being as smooth as possible when tracking the target. 3. Why: This helps you become more precise and helps you track targets that are jumping off of buildings or high ground since they’ll usually have a predictable movement pattern when falling. 3. Controlsphere 80% - 5 runs 1. Description: Track a gently small jumping dot as it flies around you at various distances and speed. 2. How: Focus on being as smooth and precise as possible when tracking the target. 3. Why: Helps your precision tracking to help hit smaller targets in game. 4. Close Tappy Strafes Easy - 5 runs 1. Description: A rectangular, medium sized map with a single humanoid bot conducting strafes that increase in difficulty on each elimination. The scenario timer starts at 30 seconds and counts down, each bot elimination adds 14 seconds to the scenario timer. 2. How: Start off smoothly tracking the initial bots’ long strafes, and react to the occasional jumps. As the bots progress to being more reactive, adjust your approach to deal with faster strafes and more frequent jumps. 3. Why: The dodge patterns of the bots in this scenario are some of the most realistic you can find in Kovaak’s. Realistic meaning that the strafes closely resemble the movement you may see from an opposing player. 5. Close Fast Strafes Very Easy Invincible or CFSEI Thin Shotgun HS - 5 runs 1. Description: A rectangular, medium sized map with a single large invincible bot conducting introductory level reactivity strafes. The scenario ends after sixty seconds elapse, scoring is added for every point of damage given to the bot. 2. How: Focus on building reactivity fundamentals by focusing only on visual feedback, avoid predicting strafes and follow the bot through its entire traversal. 3. Why: Understanding the basics of reactive strafes will aid significantly in your ability to track enemies that are intentionally trying to move evasively. 6. PGTI Voltaic Slower - 40% or Smoothbot Voltaic Easy - 5 runs 1.

Description: Full range of movement scenario with a long strafing target. 2. How: Play this by holding left OR right strafe, and only left or right strafe, for the entire bot. Switch strafe direction when you kill a bot. This should cause you to circle the bot 3. Why: I like playing this scenario, in the described way, a bit more than revolving tracking strafes because you learn how your own inputs with the keyboard and mouse will transition your aim from mirroring to anti-mirroring a target. Be mindful of this transition into anti-mirroring and circling the target. 14. Manwing Strafe Gallery Easy V3 - 5 runs optional* 1. Description: Scenario with multiple cylinder shaped bots that strafe horizontally. Targets have headshot multipliers and movement scoring is present in this scenario. 2. How: Carefully read the target of each individual target and exclusively hit the target’s head multiple times until it gets eliminated. Make sure you are moving at all times during your run, practice doing strafes that both help your aim as well as strafes that throw off your aim for optimal practice. 3. Why: Helps you develop your reading and hybrid clicking skills while moving. Specifically helpful in situations where you need to strafe heavily and hit headshots with the Wingman or other clicking weapons.

Scenario is complete when 60 seconds elapse. 2. How: The macro movement the bot takes over the course of a run is very slow and would otherwise be smooth if not for it’s consistent strafes. This means tracking the bot on the whole should be relatively simple if you focus on not overreacting to its adjustments. 3. Why: Builds reactivity principles while not being overwhelmingly difficult. Mouse control elements learned in this scenario will serve as a backbone for feature reactive challenges. 12. RaspStrafesCata Invincible - 3 runs 1. Description: The player camera sits on an elevated platform separated from their target by a small moat. The bot across from the player, has a dual elevation platform that can be transitioned between by a single set of stairs. 2. How: Play this scenario with standard reactivity fundamentals with the exception of making minor vertical adjustments if the bot chooses to use the stair way. 3. Why: This adds a slight variation on elements of reactivity you’ve already seen, while keeping you honest by offering a dodge profile you’re presumably not accustomed to yet. 13. Reactive Dot Invincible - 3 runs 1. Description: Scenario map is a three dimensional oval containing a single spherical bot, conducted long strafes with rapid direction changes on every axis. 2. How: The most difficult aspect of this scenario is not being caught off guard on the fast direction changes, otherwise don’t be deterred by the three dimensional bot movement. 3.

Why: In Apex you have to eliminate opponents from all sorts of positions, this includes being beneath them. 15. Vertical smoothness training popcorn small - 2 runs 1. Description: Features a target that moves exclusively vertically. 2. How: Focus on being precise without resetting your mouse often or at all if possible. 3. Why: Helps practice your vertical tracking and smoothness at an easier level. 16. Pole long dodge extra thin - 3 runs 1. Description: Extremely simple scenario with a stationary pole as the target, and the ability to move anywhere on the map 2. How: Ignore your score and the movement bar. Move however you want but keep your crosshair on the target. Try to practice close and far distances. Move more erratically for a more difficult challenge. If you are unable to move erratically and still hit a high %, keep practicing this routine and coming back to the scenario. 3. Why: Being able to hit a stationary target while strafing in all directions with your keyboard hand is a critical step. We must be able to do this before we can also start to hit a moving or dodging target. A stationary target will also help you easily notice smoothness problems when strafing in these directions, so be on the lookout for a jumpy crosshair. 17. Close LS Easy Dodge Thin - 2 runs 1. Description: Full range of movement scenario with a long strafing target. 2. How: Play this by holding left OR right strafe, and only left or right strafe, for the entire bot. Switch strafe direction when you kill a bot. This should cause you to circle the bot 3. Why: I like playing this scenario, in the described way, a bit more than revolving tracking strafes because you learn how your own inputs with the keyboard and mouse will transition your aim from mirroring to anti-mirroring a target. Be mindful of this transition into anti-mirroring and circling the target. 18. Revolving Tracking Strafes - 5 runs 1. Description: The map is shaped as three dimensional figure eight, with a transparent panel separating both loops. Each loop has a bot conducting short fast strafes in the center while the player automatically traverses the space with their back to the scenario wall. 2. How: Do your best not to reset and track the target for as long as possible. 3. Why: This helps work on your wide angle tracking, and in certain scenarios when you slide around a target. 19. Anti-Mirror LS 360 Thin Robsai - 4 runs 1. Description: Anti-mirror floating thin targets that are relatively long TTK 2. How: Focus on being smooth and anti-mirroring these bots, get warm and DO NOT reposition unless out of mousepad space. 3. Why: helps with anti-mirroring at somewhat vertical angles and will help identify and assist with smoothness tracking problems VT APEX 2.0 SWITCHING FOCUS Duration: 34 minutes KOVAAKSCLIPPINGCOBALTDOUBLEPUMP 1. Oblique Tracking Goated - 1 minute 1. Description: A rectangular prism shaped map with a single bot that cycles locations upon each elimination. The bot will strafe at various diagonal angles and a semi-rapid pace, the scenario ends after 60 seconds elapse. 2. How: The bots will strafe at even intervals, so it’s ok to become accustomed to the movement pattern for the sake of making your fast strafes smoother. Make sure the transitions on each strafe doesn’t throw you off. 3. Why: It’s important to be comfortable tracking at awkward angles, so you aren’t thrown off by erratic movement. Starting the routine with fast strafes will make the transition into longer smooth strafes in the latter portions of the routine feel easier as well. 2. fuglaab180t - 2 minutes 1. Description: A variation of the common Bounce 180 Tracking evasive switching scenario, but the bots all have a much higher time to kill. The scenario completes after 60 seconds elapses, score increases on each bot elimination. 2. How: The higher time to kill will force you to track most of the bots you kill through their bounce, something that would otherwise be bad practice on standard Bounce 180 tracking scenarios. Do not preemptively switch away from a bot before it’s eliminated. 3. Why: Verticality and long arc jumps are common enough in Apex where being familiarized with that kind movement pattern is beneficial. Beyond this, switching fundamentals and smoothness will always come in handy in a variety of mouse control situations. 3. Target Switching 360 Static Extra Thin - 4 minutes 1. Description: A 360 degree rectangular prism shaped map with three cylinder shaped bots attached to the walls at random locations around you. Score is increased upon damage given, and the scenario completes after 60 seconds elapse. 2. How: Prioritize completing every bot elimination before you switch, make sure you have your next targets in mind. If your screen is devoid of targets a 180 degree turn will most likely yield hidden bots. 3. Why: There are going to be situations where an opponent is in a location you did not anticipate, or you need to get visual information on several locations consistently for an extended period of time. Being able to look at a specific location in your entire 360 degree cone at your discretion will let you reorient, and may even save your life a few times. 4. xenTargetSwitch - 3 minutes 1. Description: A tall rectangular prism shaped map with 6 spherical bots that conduct very slow long strafes across the map. 2. How: All standard switching fundamentals come into play here: properly timing your switches, completing each and every bot elimination, and landing your initial flick. The only distinguishing factor is the extreme verticality of the map, which may require a higher fov such as 125 Overwatch. 3. Why: Vertical adjustments are commonplace in apex, and due to the geometry of the player camera mouse movements towards the top and bottom of a players “sphere of vision” feel vastly different from what you may be used to. 5. voxTargetSwitch Smooth - 2 minutes 1. Description: Multiple sphere shaped bots that strafe at slow speed on a wide map and have regenerative health. 2. How: Acquire a target, track it shortly and switch to the next target as fast as possible. Always make sure to have the next target in mind. Make sure each and every switch is as clean as possible. 3. Why: Helps with target acquisition and speed. 6. kinTS Voltaic mini - 4 minutes 1. Description: A smaller version of the evasive switching Voltaic benchmark, this scenario’s map a spacious rectangular prism, with five bots. 2. How: Don’t be intimidated by the bots’ strafe pattern, while it may not be a straight line it’s still very smooth and can be tracked in its entirety though you may find floor or ceiling bots to be more difficult. 3. Why: This combines switching fundamentals that are most commonly built on speed switching scenarios, with an evasive element that you will want to be prepared to face when it comes to specific gunfights. 7. Skeet Tracking Goated smaller - 3 minute 1. Description: Focal point of the map is a window where four bots jump from varying heights on either side of the window to the opposite side. Scenario completes when 60 seconds elapse. 2. How: While it may be easier to focus on the apex of each bots path, try to master all points of the arc the bot takes for good practice. 3. Why: The narrow window forces you to acquire bots and read their movement quickly, target acquisition is an underrated aspect of mechanical ability that is distinguished amongst top players. 8. Controlsphere TS - 5 minutes 1. Description: A rectangular prism shaped map with angular corners, covering a 180 degree viewing angle occupied by four bots. Each bot moves in a compact, smooth evasive pattern and the player’s score is increased with damage given. 2. How: Play as you would play the standard Controlsphere scenario but implement switching fundamentals. 3. Why: Evasive switching is a staple of Apex as previously addressed in the kinTS description. Reading movement after reorienting your sight picture is a must for success in high time to kill shooters. 9. canTS - 3 minutes 1. Description: Scenario map is similar to 1wall5targets_pasu, but the bots health regenerates if the player’s crosshair leaves the target before it’s eliminated. 2. How: In regeneration scenarios like this it’s more imperative than ever to prioritize completing your eliminations before you conduct your timed switch to the next target. You may feel like you’re missing more than you're accustomed to at first, but it's the nature of the scenario to expose the details of your errors in tracking. 3. Why: Well executed smooth tracking on evasive targets will make weapon specific recoil the only barrier between you and being able to effectively beam fast evading targets. 10. Bounce 180 Tracking - 3 minutes 1. Description: Eliminate multiple small spheres that bounce and move in an arc motion. 2. How: Read the movement of each target carefully and move your mouse from one target directly to another. Avoid unnecessary movements. 3. Why: This task helps with your reading, click-timing and precision skills on small but predictable targets. 11. patTargetSwitch Dodge 360 v2 - 4 minutes 1. Description: Multiple cylinder shaped bots that strafe horizontally and have headshot multipliers. 2. How: Move during the entirety of the scenario and switch directions when the movement bar is about to be full, acquire and track each target briefly. Go for headshots exclusively. 3. Why: Improves target acquisition, speed and strafe tracking. VT APEX 2.0 STRAFE AIM FOCUS Duration: 40 minutes - Copy & Paste share code underneath via Online Playlist tab on KovaaKs KOVAAKSCOUNTERSTRAFINGCOPPERBLOOM 1. Revolving Tracking - 1 minute 1. Description: Forced circle strafing while attempting to hit a stationary bot 2. How: Keep the crosshair on the target by using your arm to smoothly track across your entire mousepad.

How: Ignore your score and the movement bar. Move however you want but keep your crosshair on the target. Try to practice close and far distances. Move more erratically for a more difficult challenge. If you are unable to move erratically and still hit a high %, keep practicing this routine and coming back to the scenario. 3. Why: Being able to hit a stationary target while strafing in all directions with your keyboard hand is a critical step. We must be able to do this before we can also start to hit a moving or dodging target. A stationary target will also help you easily notice smoothness problems when strafing in these directions, so be on the lookout for a jumpy crosshair. 4. Revolving Tracking Strafes - 3 minutes 1. Description: Improve your tracking by revolving around a strafing target. 2. How: Do your best not to reset and track the target for as long as possible. 3. Why: This helps work on your wide angle tracking, and in certain scenarios when you slide around a target. 5. Close LS Easy Dodge Thin - 2 minutes 1. Description: Full range of movement scenario with a long strafing target. 2. How: Play this by holding left OR right strafe, and only left or right strafe, for the entire bot. Switch strafe direction when you kill a bot. This should cause you to circle the bot 3. Why: We like playing this scenario, in the described way, a bit more than revolving tracking strafes because you learn how your own inputs with the keyboard and mouse will transition your aim from mirroring to anti-mirroring a target. Be mindful of this transition into anti-mirroring and circling the target. 6. Anti-Mirror LS 360 Thin Robsai - 2 minutes 1. Description: Anti-mirror floating thin targets that are relatively long TTK 2. How: Focus on being smooth and anti-mirroring these bots, get warm and DO NOT reposition unless out of mousepad space. 3.

Description: Full range of movement scenario while tracking a easy to hit vertical target 2. How: Practice moving in all directions while tracking the target 3. Why: Will help with vertical tracking a target while moving around the map 8. Hyperscape VT Dodge Easy - 2 minutes 1. Description: Track a blinking small target at extreme vertical angles 2. How: Ignore your score and work on moving all around the play area while tracking the target, try to avoid strafing in ways that would also make you extremely easy to hit 3. Why: To practice movement while tracking a precise target on vertical angles 9. Pasu Dodge Track Pure - 3 minutes 1. Description: Track a small erratic dodging target around a 360 degree map 2. How: Ignore Score Practice anti-mirroring and erratic movements while tracking, DO NOT mirror the target as much as possible 3. Why: Why this works 10. Manwing Strafe Gallery V3 - 3 minutes 1. Description: Scenario with multiple cylinder shaped bots that strafe horizontally. Targets have headshot multipliers and movement scoring is present in this scenario. 2. How: Carefully read the target of each individual target and exclusively hit the target’s head multiple times until it gets eliminated. Make sure you are moving at all times during your run, practice doing strafes that both help your aim as well as strafes that throw off your aim for optimal practice. 3. Why: Helps you develop your reading and hybrid clicking skills while moving. Specifically helpful in situations where you need to strafe heavily and hit headshots with the Wingman or other clicking weapons. 11. Pasu Dodge Easy - 3 minutes 1. Description: Read each target carefully, move your mouse in one smooth motion from one target to another and click with minimal corrections. 2.

How: hold +back for bots 1,3,5,7 so that you can avoid skybots. 3. Why: Do as much damage as possible and work on hitting targets pressuring you, as people in apex love to W-key VT APEX ORIGINAL ABOUT THIS ROUTINE The Apex routine below is effective practice, because it includes scenarios that are very closely related to in-game situations, such as Close Long Strafes Headshot where you need to track a target smoothly and deliberately focus on the head. Ground Plaza Sparky v3 also adds an important element like smooth tracking with fast reacting to blinks and varying movement changes. Smoothness is always useful and helps you use the right amount of tension so it’s easier to be precise. Both Plaza High and Low ground are optional, but can be useful if you struggle when you’re angled at a disadvantage or advantage. The hybrid scenario Close Long Strafes HST should help you focus on reading a target and constantly reacting to its direction changes, while timing your clicks consecutively on the head in order to eliminate the target. Basic types of switching scenarios should still be useful for Apex, because you learn to read targets, acquire them and switch quickly then eliminate them efficiently. The clicking scenarios should apply to all the click-type weapons such as the Wingman (hence why it’s called Manwing), Scout et cetera. Close Fast Strafes Easy Thin Shotgun, is especially useful to make sure to line up your shots effectively, this is what Apex players tend to struggle with. Both the movement type scenarios are useful so you can learn to take advantage of your movement to line up your shots better. APEX ORIGINAL ROUTINE Duration: 60-100 minutes KOVAAKSGEARINGFASTUFO 1.

This is because Call of Duty and Battlefield don’t have any type of dodge in them, and the targets are all low-ttk. For this reason a large selection of the scenarios are all switching scenarios[5]. The switching scenarios help working on improving target acquisition and speed, to effectively and efficiently take out targets as fast as possible. Most basic switching scenarios are useful for this reason. The 360 version offers larger angles, which are often replicated in-game. The clicking scenarios help with target acquisition, fundamental aiming drills (straight and smooth motion) and pure click-timing.

The prioritizations of each genre of mouse control are ordered in such a way that they flow seamlessly into one another to form a complete routine while still being entirely applicable to Siege’s fundamental gunplay. Our thin tracking scenarios facilitate smoothness for situations when room-clearing, peeking doorways, and following strafing enemies. The selected target switching options strengthen the all-too-important ‘snap’ to a target that is required to gain the edge on an enemy during a gunfight, or when multiple enemies are in your field of view. Our click-timing scenarios are varied in such a way that they prioritize different situations with similar concepts. 1wall5targets_pasu provides less predictable targets on a smaller field while the proceeding click-timing scenarios provide more predictable targets on a significantly wider playing field. Lastly our static click-timing scenarios practice the most efficient pathing between targets as quickly as possible for effective target transitioning and general mouse control.

This is because Warzone has minimal movement, and the targets are mostly high ttk due to the armor in Warzone. For this reason, a large selection of the scenarios are mostly switching and tracking scenarios[7]. The high TTK/regen switching scenarios improve target acquisition and the ability to maintain your crosshair on a target. The clicking scenarios help with target acquisition, fundamental aiming drills (straight and smooth motion) and pure click-timing. To effectively play this routine, cycle through the scenarios everytime you play the routine. For example, if one day you play tamTargetSwitch Smooth, play tamTargetSwitch control, etc. RECOMMENDED BY STARSHIIPER KovaaK 2.0 Recommended for Platinum and above New * Duration: 60 minutes - Copy & Paste share code underneath via Online Playlist tab on KovaaKs KOVAAKSBUYINGMOUNTEDDODGE Some of the scenarios below are marked as Hybrid because it involves both Target Switching and Tracking skills due to the health regeneration when targets are not tracked perfectly.

How: Apa’s Bounce House: The objective is to eliminate as many fast strafing air bots as possible. Air Invincible Bounce House: The objective is to deal as much damage as possible, try to avoid lifting your mouse for the best practice. 3. Why: These scenarios will help you track targets independently from how you are moving, and can assist to help you learn to track fast strafing targets from uncomfortable hand/arm positions. 3. Close LS Easy Dodge - 4 minutes* 1. Description: Movement scenario where you will track a long strafing bot at close to mid range 2. How: Move and Strafe while dealing as much damage as possible to eliminate each target effectively. Mix up your own dodge patterns, and don’t mirror the bot all the time. 3. Why: Tracking practice where you control the movement. In-game 30 minutes This can be used as training if you don’t own KovaaKs or as a warm-up method in general. The amount of matches is arbitrary, feel free to change it to fit your needs. We recommend not to spend more than 30 minutes on in-game training, because the in-game practice methods do not isolate your training enough. 1. Plunder Mode - 1-3 matches 1. Description: Plunder Mode is a gamemode in Warzone, in this mode, teams drop into a race to collect as much in-match Cash as possible by raiding Supply Boxes, eliminating opponents, completing Contracts or by controlling Cash deposit locations throughout the map. 2. How: Use the guns and loadouts that you want to practice with, prioritise Airborne Targets for more vertical training. Focus on headshots exclusively in order to train your Precision. In addition, try to switch targets quickly and efficiently (Speed), by moving your mouse in one smooth motion from one target to another. 3. Why: Plunder Mode has far less down time as there are plenty of targets on the map to shoot. This is because you and your opponents can spawn back in upon death and with 200 players on the map, there should be no issues with finding targets to shoot. Lastly, you can train both your Evasive and Speed Switching skills, as well as your Precise and Reactive Tracking skills using this mode 2. Custom Game - 1-3 matches 1. Description: If you own the Multiplayer mode you can boot up a Custom Game and add bots to practice against. We recommend using a small map and as many targets as possible. 2. How: Focus on exclusively headshotting all the targets and quickly acquiring each and every target. Adjust the bot’s health to anything between 100-200 (150 is a good baseline). The more health you give the bots the more tracking-heavy it becomes. The less health you give the bots the more switching-heavy it becomes. Use settings that accommodate what you want to work on (note that in-game practice methods are limited). 3. Why: Custom Games have far less down time than the actual game, due to the smaller map and being able to spawn back upon death. With Higher TTK bots you can focus more on your Precise and Reactive Tracking Skills and with Lower TTK bots you can focus on your Speed Switching Skills. ________________ SPLITGATE Recommended FOV for Splitgate: 103-120 overwatch About this routine This routine involves multiple switching scenarios to start off so you can work on your speed and evasive target switching. This helps when you quickly need to eliminate a target and need to switch to another that is mid-strafe (for instance when using the AR). It also includes dynamic clicking scenarios with hard to hit patterns that offer more challenges as you’ll be able to focus on your target acquisition as well as your reading skills (useful for when you use any clicking weapon such as the Pistol, Sniper and Shotgun). In addition we’ve added a brand new subcategory of aiming scenarios called multiclicking, these scenarios involve higher-ttk clicking targets. In these scenarios you have to click a target at least 3 times before it gets eliminated. The multiclicking scenarios are the favourites of this routine, as it closely resembles the type of aiming you need to be good at in Splitgate. Finally, we included some tracking scenarios to improve your reactivity, so you can track targets that make sporadic movements or change directions often in their strafes as well as some precision tasks to improve your precise tracking skills (mostly useful for fully automatic weapons such as the AR; the reactivity and precision can also help with other weapons).
