How to improve Valorant aim?
Valorant is a competitive First-person hero shooter game. 2 games that I would combine to make this game are Overwatch and CSGO. If you already played it or you watched at least 15 seconds of gameplay you already know what this game has to offer:
A mixture of gunplay, boxy maps and Agent (heroes) abilities. A recipe for a tactical competitive game with a massive spectatorship.
The gunplay is a bit less important than the amount of heroes and abilities available at your disposal. Some of them might seem a bit similar but always come with a twist.
You might experience similar effect from 3 different agents in what many Valorant players describe as "highly congested and claustrophobic areas".
How to practice your aim in Valorant with 3D Aim Trainer
You need to pick an adequate aim training routine and stick to it in order to really improve your aim in Valorant and benefit from the 3D Aim Trainer platform.
This is the Valorant Training Routine
Follow this Valorant aim training routine to have better odds at aiming during gunplay and countering abilities. Do the listed exercises for each day of the week. Performance in this game is based on how tactical you play but having consistent aim is the base. It's better to train every day for half an hour than once a week for 3 hours.
Remember: Start with the basic difficulty levels where available! When you get gold medals on all Basic levels - move to the Intermediate difficulty. It's normal to advance faster in some levels while you struggle in others.

What to train for your Valorant Aim?
Use your hero abilities well and focus on these 4 main aspects of your Valorant aim if you really want to get better:
- Fast reactions
- Micro flicking with high accuracy
- Controlling gun spread
- Recoil mastery
Train to improve your skills in these areas with the help of 3D Aim Trainer and you will rank higher! If you use an Aim Trainer for Valorant you can expect the following benefits:
Recoil
There are familiarities between the recoil in this game and CSGO but the crosshair reset is very different. You need training to master it. Learn to reset recoil with short sequences of bursts and taps.
Positioning
You need to understand placement and angle distance. Beware of enemies holding angles. Do this by keeping away from possible angles or you risk being shot at first.
Movement
Control your movement and speed while going through the maps. Don’t sprint while you’re shooting! Movements like shifting, walking or a brief stop offer better accuracy when shooting.
Crosshair
Always anticipate opponents appearing in the hallways or behind a corner in the boxy maps of this game - keep your crosshair at head height if you don't want nasty surprises.
Abilities
The Abilities in this game are meant to stop enemies from hiding in certain locations and countering common camping spots on the map. The first set of Valorant maps looks like CSGO and offers multiple angles. Don't expose yourself to different angles at the same time. Use your abilities like smoke or viper’s poison cloud to block one angle while you take care of another.
