The first quirk you should understand to improve your accuracy in Counter-Strike 2 is how strafing works. Even something as basic as this requires a little finesse!

Try strafing in a single direction by pressing either A or D and then let go of the key. You may notice that your character doesn’t fully stop the moment you release the key.

This can impact your accuracy, especially because your accuracy plummets while walking!

However, you can counter this by pressing the opposite direction when you want a full stop. For example, strafe to the left with A and then press D for a brief moment when you want to stop.

Another important, but much more obvious, thing is that you should crouch.

You have much better accuracy when crouching, even when you’re moving! It’s as simple as it gets.

Conversely, you absolutely want to avoid burst firing or automatic weapons when walking. Their accuracy is awful when you’re on the move, which can lead to lots of missed shots.

Lastly, you want to learn the spray patterns of every weapon you use. This is a much trickier and advanced technique, but one well worth learning!

In essence, the spray pattern of weapons in Counter-Strike 2 is set in stone and not randomized. This allows you to offset the recoil by moving your aim opposite of the spray pattern.

This requires a lot of practice, truth be told, but mastering this technique will allow you to spray-fire with much better accuracy than otherwise.

But while we’re on that note, improving your accuracy will ultimately come down to just that for the most part: practice.

Nonetheless, now you know some key techniques that you can start practicing to help you improve!
