Fine Tune Your Precision in VALORANT to Hit More Headshots!

So, what is precision flicking? If we had to define the mechanical subset under a specific context, it would be the ability to precisely click on targets consecutively, prioritizing accuracy over speed, as the targets pertaining to the scenarios are small and clustered together. A lot of newer players are adept at flicking in regards to the overarching mechanic. However, they tend to struggle when it comes down to their ability to make precise adjustments from one target to another.

Typically due to the fact that tactical shooter players utilize a lower sensitivity, they struggle more with micro-adjustments as they tend to necessitate mouse movements that rely on your wrist or fingers, while VALORANT players are more used to using their arm. This is a byproduct of playing on a lower sensitivity and old tactical shooter misconceptions regarding arm movement being superior. In reality, mouse control should utilize all parts of your arm, including your forearm, your wrist, and your fingers. Restricting yourself to using only one of these parts of your arm can harm your overall mouse control. Your arm should be used for wider adjustments, your wrist should be used for smaller adjustments, and your fingers should be used for micro-adjustments. A good aimer knows how to utilize all parts of their arm and can adapt to a variety of different scenarios.

In VALORANT, due to the importance of landing your first shot accurately, as well as the frequency in which you will have to make micro-adjustments to your crosshair placement, it is critical to fine tune your precision flicking mechanics. Due to the low TTK in VALORANT, landing headshots is crucial to being a good aimer, and landing headshots depends heavily on your ability to make micro-adjustments onto your opponent’s head, as head hitboxes in the game are rather small. As good as your crosshair placement is, it is impossible that you will always hold an angle perfectly to land a headshot without further adjustments, requiring precision flicking to adjust your crosshair appropriately. Furthermore, you will often be required to click on targets that are clustered close to each other and swiftly clicking one after the other is what precision flicking entails.

This featured task will greatly improve your practical understanding of precision flicking and what exactly the mechanical subset entails, ensuring that you strengthen your ability to click heads back to back in your favorite tactical shooter. The task focuses on static clicking, with two targets spawning on a wide wall. Once you click on a target, two more smaller targets will spawn consecutively in close proximity to the first target, with points being scored for every hit, though the smallest target provides the most points.

Focus on making those micro adjustments to land your shots on the smaller targets, before making a wide flick to the next target to start the chain over again. Over time, work to string these together more quickly, increasing your speed as you become more confident in your flicks!
