If you want to be achieve the same level of aim skill as the pro players, you need to practice, A LOT.
Most pro players practice their aim for at least a few minutes before hopping into their games and you should start doing the same.
So, in this article we’re going to cover the best aim training maps from the steam workshop that’ll help improve various aspects of your aim.
aim_treeni
The first map we’ll take a look at is Aim_treeni. With just over 250.000 subscribers it’s a relatively unknown map and that’s a shame, because this map offers some very unique ways to practice. If you have been playing for a long time you will quickly realize the map is highly inspired by this oldschool training map from csgo.
It’is perfect for those who enjoy aim trainers like Kovaaks and Aim Lab. Instead of shooting at bots, you’ll be shooting at small circles.
What makes Aim_treeni stand out is its high level of customization. You can adjust various settings to focus on improving all type aim skills. For example, you can set the health of each circle. This allow you to practice spraying through multiple targets. To challenge yourself even more enter what’s called intense mode. This add multiple targets with small intervals. You set a max amount of targets and if you’re not fast enough and get above that number the challenge will reset.
5E_Prac_Mirage_Prefire
The next map is a prefire map made by 5EPlay and have already gained over 1 million subscribers. You can
It offers four difficulty levels and eight seperate routes for practicing both offensive and defensive strategies. What’s good about this is that you get closer to real in-game scenarios. That way you can improve your positioning when engaging enemies and maintain area control over important parts of the map.
When you practice prefire, make sure to focus on isolating each target. To make this easier you can enable a setting where the next bots are shown through the wall. This help you alot with position yourself correctly before peeking out. When you get used to the map and the route you can turn this setting off again.
If you go to the steam workshop and search for 5E, then you find similar prefire versions for the rest of the competitive maps. You can also find a warmup map called aimhub.
Recoil Master – Spray Training
The Recoil Master – Spray Training is a unique map in the way it’s designed to only focusing on spray training. The map offers some real value if you want to dive deep into the details of your spray. For example, the ghosthair let you follow a green dot and see the recoil pattern in front of you. You can change the settings to see either see the full pattern or just show the next two bullets.
Another cool feature is the dummy target. This provides a terrorist target which will show your hit rate and accuracy stats. According to Elige you want to aim for 60% accuracy when spraying for the head with the M4A4 and 95% accuracy when spraying for the body with the AK47.
The last feature I want to mention is the slow motion. This is a great tool for visualizing and memorizing the spray pattern. I know it can be hard to see the benefits of this, but you shouldn’t underestimate the effects of putting this type of conscious effort into your practice.
CSstats Training Map
The fourth map is called CSStats training and have over 2 millision subscriber. It’s is a new version of the popular CSGOHUB map. The map offer unique practice modes to challenge your aim in a fun and engaging way.
When you first load into the map, you’ll find yourself in warmup mode. Here the bots are standing still. Try switch to to bot rush is and see if you can keep up with the bots rushing towards you. This way of practice is really effective to warmup your aim fast and consistently.
Another way to challenge yourself is by going into the challenge mode called speed. Here you need to react fast and shoot a bot that disappear in front of you. The next bot spawn at a random position so you need to fast to flick your crosshair onto the target before it goes away. A really cool feature in build into this practice mode is the audio que you get from where the bot spawns. This helps you react much faster as your auditory reaction time is around 35% faster than your visual reaction time.
According to the map maker limitless they are working on an updated version including ways to practice prefire and spray control.
Aim_botz
Let’s end this list with the most well known map of all of them.
Dating back to 2014 and with over 24 million subscribers, Aim Botz is one of the oldest and most popular training maps out there, and there is a good reason for that. The map is so well structured and have so many varieties of settings that can suit your training needs.
When you first load into the map, you’ll find yourself surrounded by four active sections where bots spawn all around you. Most players prefer to disable some of these sections, concentrating the bots in a smaller area. You can also tweak how far away the bots will spawn from you.
Many players also like to jump out into the bots to get closer to them. When standing in the middle of the bots, you can easily perform quick turnarounds which is a good way to practice resetting your aim after each kill.
