Kovvaks reactive tracking tips

[ancient wagon]

Please give tips on what I can do to improve my reactive tracking, I struggle with it heavy.

[crimson burrow]

this scenario is way to hard for u

need an easier one

and like u have the right idea

just ur not ready for a bot this small yet

ur readjustments are too slow

[ancient wagon]

I do the voltaic reactive playlist intermediate I think? so thats just one of the tasks in the playlist

any recommendations for lower level playlists then?

[stray leaf]

its funny but you focus too much on smoothness, you are really smooth but you lack off reaction when you focus too much on smoothness, try to not focus on smoothnes and be reactive. Focus on predicting the bot movement and track him and do that all smooth without thinking about it.

[crimson burrow]

yeah like smooth technique is there

[ancient wagon]

so I should stop focusing on smoothness?

[stray leaf]

lemme record a vod real quick

[ancient wagon]

ok

[crimson burrow]

but ur readjustments need to be quicker, notice how ur tracking the bot at the same speed just not on the bot

[ancient wagon]

ye its honestly very difficult, idk what i can do to improve my readjustments onto the bot

[crimson burrow]

dont entirely abandom smoothness

u just need to accelerate into the both then slow it back down

to the reg speed

[ancient wagon]

ok that makes sense

should I try easier reactive scenarios?

to build that skill?

[crimson burrow]

u can try this scen with this tip in mind, but

if its too hard then just try smth easier to get ur technique down pat

not too easy though

u still want a challenge

[ancient wagon]

ok, ill keep that in mind

so i mainly need to get better at my readjustments onto the target

while still being smooth

[crimson burrow]

also

just to let you know

higher sens will help u get higher score
so if u can control higher sens and u wanna do a better score u can

depends on ur goals though

[ancient wagon]

well I just want to get better aim so,

are u saying like

higher sens will make the difficulty higher?

and like translate into higher scores if i can control

higher sens?

[crimson burrow]

well different sensitivities are very important to improvement

[crimson burrow]

yes and no
idk how high ur sens is, if its too low u might be making it more difficult
but generally in tracking scens, u want a higher sens with the goal of obtaining better mouse control at these high senses

[ancient wagon]

i just switched my sens to 50cm/360 a couple days ago

but i used to play tracking scenarios

on like

35/30 cm

[crimson burrow]

nah so i literally change sens on every single type of aim

it helps u train different aspects

[stray leaf]

fk man i played and it didnt reacord haha

[crimson burrow]

f

[ancient wagon]

oh is there like

[crimson burrow]

hold up

[ancient wagon]

a rule of t humb for each sens i should have on different types of aim

[ancient wagon]

alr

[crimson burrow]

so like

theres not a golden rule or anything but

generally u want more wrist and fingers in ur sens for tracking, static more arm, and switching in the middle

so on tracking i use 30-40
static 75-90
and switching like 60-75

that doesnt mean u have to use those exact numbers but to get an idea

[ancient wagon]

holy ive never even went close to 75-90 😭

[ancient wagon]

ye it helps

[crimson burrow]

getting good arm control for static is IMPORTANT

asf

[ancient wagon]

ye i see, im honestly rlly bad

at static

way better at tracking and switching

than i am static

[crimson burrow]

i cant really give tips on those thing bc im still silver on em but im almost jade on this pill track scen

so i just thought id pop in the convo

[ancient wagon]

no by all means i rlly appreciate the help

i have just been struggling on reactive for a while and

ive tried to implement

the proper technique

but i didnt seem to be improving

[crimson burrow]

ima grab a vod of this scen for u hol on

[ancient wagon]

ok

[stray leaf]

ahhhhh i suck

i cant get this one clean

but its really hard actually

[ancient wagon]

😭 anything helps honestly

[stray leaf]

you need movement reading in this

[ancient wagon]

honestly i was trying to apply like the smoothness like thinking where, u dont predict and u assume the bot is going to go one direction

[crimson burrow]

think of like not predicting, but expecting the movement change

so ur ready

when it happens

[ancient wagon]

ok

never thought of it like that

[stray leaf]

its like both

[crimson burrow]

i always do that in game

so thats where i learned it

[stray leaf]

like i said really hard 😛

[ancient wagon]

u focus on ur aim in game?

[ancient wagon]

😭

[crimson burrow]

i mean

to an extent

but i meant like

when someone is strafing at me

i wait for the direction change so i can flick to their head

[stray leaf]

guyyyyyyyyyyyys

[ancient wagon]

ohhh

[stray leaf]

i didnt record 2nd time

wtfff

im cooked

[ancient wagon]

are u using

shadow play?

[stray leaf]

yep

[ancient wagon]

thats what i used to clip

[crimson burrow]

i cant get mine to work either

[ancient wagon]

u ahve to set it to

set it to desktop capture

it wont clip other wise

[stray leaf]

it doesnt record koovaks for some reason

[crimson burrow]

windowed fullscreen maybe?

[ancient wagon]

yeah its weird, but

idk about recording

i clipped

but if u set to desktop capture itll clip it for u

since its doing the whole screen

with instant replay

[stray leaf]

i cant save anything

i restart pc real quick

[ancient wagon]

ok

[stray leaf]

so be carefull because my own biggest weakness is smoothness, but it might show how smoothness in theese type of szenarios sould be applyed

[ancient wagon]

thank you this is a really good reference

Also one last question for both of you, when im in game should i hyper focus on my aim? Or should i auto pilot my aim and focus on other aspects, if so what do I focus on specifically like with my aim @stray leaf @crimson burrow

[stray leaf]

depends on the game and the situation. but never overfocus, mid gunfights focus on the target and hitting your shots, but you gotta always stay calm.

[ancient wagon]

Oh yeah thats a thing i really struggle with honestly

When in like apex i feel overwhelmed i just start panicking

So hard to remain calm idk how to combat it

[stray leaf]

jeah its a big thing you can practice in aim trainers. also if you play any szenario try to use the least amount of tension you can whil also pushing your speed as fast as you can. thats called tension menagement and it helps a lot with calm aim

[ancient wagon]

Ok ill also keep that in mind tysm

[stray leaf]

no worries .)

[ancient wagon]

just tried to apply your guys tips rq on a run and this is the vod

@stray leaf @crimson burrow

i also upped my sens to 30 cm/360 to up the difficulty and get better mouse control

over time

[stray leaf]

vod looks wayyy better to me. Try to practice like this and you will be goated 🙂 also if you are comfident with this you can bring your wrist into the tracking while doing the same with the arm to hit some better scores 🙂

[ancient wagon]

wym bring my wrist into the tracking?

like try to implement my wrist more?

[stray leaf]

jeah

like if you need to react you can do the smooth tracking part with your arm and flick to the target with the wrist

so you get faster corrections. But first get comfedent like this.

[ancient wagon]

ok! thank you for all your help 😄

[crimson burrow]

I knew it was the sens

lol

[ancient wagon]

def gonna start training tracking with a higher sens from now on

Build my mouse control faster

[crimson burrow]

yar

[ancient wagon]

@crimson burrow what sens should I use for dynamic?

can i still use 75-90 cm/360?

[ancient wagon]

ye thats what i been using these for, i upped my sens to 25 cm/360 for reactive and smoothness tracking to make it harder

and im about to do dynamic so i was wondering what i should use for dynamic

[crimson burrow]

keep in mind when ur going for ur benchmark scores u wanna pick a sens better for u

[crimson burrow]

50-80 i think is a good range

[ancient wagon]

i realize i barely even do the bench marks 😭

[ancient wagon]

alright

[ancient wagon]

ye i just do the voltaic playlists, i think they have the benchmarks in them

but ye ill probably start doing them every week
