Valorant Mechanics Lecture

Introduction

• Disclaimer: This video is educational, not for entertainment.
• Emphasis on learning all mechanics related to aim and movement in Valorant.
• The video is lengthy but aims to cover every aspect comprehensively.
• Presented by Kampeki, a coach with extensive experience in helping players rank up.

Goals of the Lesson

1. Learn what mechanics exist in Valorant.
2. Gain tools to implement these mechanics.
3. Personalized feedback is available through a coaching program.

Components of Aim

• Active Aim: Involves mouse movement during gunfights.
  • Flicking: Moving cursor rapidly between two points.
  • Tracking: Keeping crosshair on a moving target.
  • Micro Adjustments: Fine-tuning crosshair for precise shots.
• Gun Mechanics
  • Spray Control: Managing recoil by pulling down the mouse.
  • Bursting and Tapping: Short, controlled shots for precision.
  • Aim Trainers: Useful for focusing on specific aim aspects.

Distribution of Aim

• 20% Active Aim: Mostly during gunfights.
• 80% Passive Aim: Crosshair placement when not actively shooting.
  • Vital in anticipating enemy positions.

Drills for Improvement

• Flicking Drill: Practice flicking between two points and making micro-adjustments.
• Spray Control Drill: Control recoil at different distances from the practice range.

Sensitivity and Tracking

• Most pros set sensitivity between 0.2-0.4 at 800 DPI.
• Adjust DPI and in-game sensitivity to find a comfortable setting.

Gun Mechanics

• Rifle Handling: Understand recoil patterns and control for Phantom and Vandal.
  • Phantom vs. Vandal: Slightly different recoil and first-shot spread.
• Pistol Handling: Take time between shots for precision.
• SMG and Shotgun Usage: ADS for long-distance and run-and-gun for close quarters.
• Sniper and Heavy Machine Gun Use: Emphasize on accuracy and penetration.

Picking Up Guns

• Use dropping and picking up methods to maintain crosshair position.

Movement and Peeking

• Types of Peaks
  • Standard, Jiggle, Shoulder, Jump, Wide, and Silent Step Peaks.
  • Crouch Peeking: Peeking while crouching to disrupt enemy aim.
• Types of Jumps
  • Cross Jumps, Silent Jumps, Bunny Hopping, Air Strafing.

Advanced Techniques

• Counter Strafing and Dead Zoning: Maintain accuracy while moving.
• Cross Replacement and Angle Isolation: Important for clearing angles safely.
• T-Rule: Peak perpendicular to enemy line of sight for better engagement.

Conclusion

• Combining aim and movement is crucial for improving game performance.
• Practice drills are essential for mastering mechanics.
• Success requires understanding and applying the concepts consistently.
