How to Deal With Moving Targets in VALORANT

Do you find yourself constantly challenged by enemies darting across your screen, making it difficult to land those crucial shots? Many players struggle with this dynamic component of aiming, particularly in fast-paced tactical shooters like VALORANT. This plan is designed to enhance your proficiency in dealing with moving targets, a skill we’ll refer to as “dynamic flicking.“

At its core, dynamic flicking is your ability to rapidly and accurately adjust your aim to hit a moving target. This skill is paramount in low time to kill tactical shooters like VALORANT, where missing a shot can lead to a lost round. Unlike static angle-holding, dynamic flicking demands that you not only anticipate an opponent’s potential position but also react to their following movement.

With VALORANT’s diverse character abilities and constant, fast-paced engagements, you will often be presented with scenarios where enemies do not simply walk into your crosshair. They strafe, jump, dash, and teleport, among using a variety of other abilities that alter their trajectory. Mastering dynamic flicking allows you to adapt to these variables, ensuring that your shots connect, even under the most challenging of aim duels.

The challenge with dynamic flicking lies in its demand for split-second adjustments while maintaining accuracy. This is particularly tricky when you are also moving, another critical mechanical component of VALORANT as you must make it as difficult as you can for your opponent to land shots on you. Movement introduces additional variables to your aim, necessitating further adjustments to compensate for your ever-changing position. The key to overcoming this challenge is to practice your ability to make rapid, precise adjustments to your aim, all while keeping your own movement in mind.

This task will focus on training the mechanics relevant to your ability to deal with moving targets. It prompts you to shoot at a set of targets that move on both the x and y axes at a slow speed. Focus on making those fast, smooth flicks onto the target, micro correcting, and then firing, working through each of the phases of the flick. The more you practice, the more comfortable you’ll feel when you’re facing moving targets in-game, even multiple moving targets at once!
