REFERENCE / AimCrosshair placement

Keeping the crosshair near the likely enemy head position reduces how far the mouse must move after contact.

REFERENCE / AimCounter-strafed first shot

Inaccurate movement reduces reliability; coming to a controlled stop before firing improves a rifle’s first shot.

REFERENCE / AimTap firing

Single shots favor precision and aim recovery at longer range.

REFERENCE / AimBurst firing

Short bursts balance hit probability and aim correction across medium-distance engagements.

REFERENCE / AimSpray control

Sustained automatic fire follows a weapon-specific recoil pattern that can be practiced.

REFERENCE / AimSpray transfer

Switching aim between several opponents mid-spray requires tracking recoil, distance and remaining ammunition.

REFERENCE / AimPre-aim

Before rounding a corner, placing your crosshair on the likely enemy position speeds up a first accurate bullet.

REFERENCE / AimAngle isolation

Exposing only one opponent’s likely angle at a time reduces simultaneous threats.

REFERENCE / AimRecoil reset

After a burst, accuracy improves as weapon recoil and spread recover; exact timing differs across weapons.

REFERENCE / AimAWP peek timing

Sniper fights depend on scope time, movement and when an opponent becomes visible.

REFERENCE / AimSensitivity and eDPI

Effective DPI is mouse DPI multiplied by in-game sensitivity; matching eDPI is only useful within consistent yaw/input settings.

In September 2026 Valve made crosshair dimensions resolution-independent and added more styles and scope options.
