Guides and tutorials

Sova, recon with a teammate

Use Recon Bolt to clear a common angle and ask an entry player to time the swing with its first scan. If it is destroyed immediately, note the angle it exposed so you know where the defender was able to shoot it.

Omen, block vision for a specific push

Practice placing the smoke edge flush with the choke. Tell your team when the smoke is ready and leave enough time to act before it expires.

Killjoy, play off utility contact

Place a trap where you can safely respond to it. Practice repositioning if the utility is destroyed or bypassed before you peek.

Warm up with controlled taps

Use a fixed Range drill at the same sensitivity for several sessions. Reset your movement before each shot and track hits from the same distance.

Does a higher eDPI improve rank?

No setting guarantees improvement. Track first-shot placement on the same Range drill and make small changes if you overshoot consistently.
