Training That You Can Use to Track Bouncing Enemies

Jumping is a core component of movement in all shooters, some allowing you to utilize it further than others, as different games offer different gunplay mechanics. Overwatch for example, does not punish you on the basis of accuracy whilst jumping and shooting simultaneously, while games like VALORANT on the contrary, will have your bullets flying all over the place. Today, we will dig into the concept of bounce tracking.

The one thing that remains consistent across the board, is that players tend to have an easier time dealing with targets moving on the horizontal axis as opposed to targets that implement verticality to their movement. This is all comes down to a single reason, every shooter puts you in combat scenarios where horizontal aim is far more relied upon than vertical aim, often leading to lackluster development of your ability to make vertical adjustments comfortably.

Albeit not sounding like a huge deal, the addition of jumping or “bouncing” into the movement pattern of a target makes it significantly more difficult to land shots on that target. Any decent player is aware of the benefits jumping can introduce to their gameplay, especially in the context of evasiveness, which is why training your bounce tracking mechanics is a crucial mechanic to hone if you want to continue to come out on top in your aim duels.

This featured task will train your ability to adjust your aim to compensate for the inevitable verticality that comes with dealing with bouncing targets, specifically in the category of tracking aim. The task features a wavy play area, with an orb shaped target that will bounce moderately across the screen.

This won’t be a task where you have to throw your crosshair up over your head, but tracking the bouncing target will help you in game scenarios where players are hopping to increase their evasiveness or bunnyhopping to build up movement momentum. Focus in on reacting to the targets movements, as it may take an unexpected bounce due to the varying angles of the ground!
