I just built my first pc 2 days ago, and one of the first games I tried was valorant. I absolutely sucked at everything I was doing, and I haven't improved much yet. I just recently, about a day ago got into aimlabs, and I got an average of 55k on gridshot, with a peak of 61k. I've also noticed that I primarily used my wrist when reaching these scores, and I have only played aimlabs for around 20 minutes on gridshot alone. Will this aim translate to valorant in any way, or will I have to improve my aim in other ways?

Does Aimlabs aiming translate to rank improvement?

Gridshot will not improve your aim
Here’s a decent aim routine;
open Valorant,
go to practice range,
buy vandal,
flick two heads (always headshot),
do the same for sheriff and guardian.
Go to Deathmatch and practice basic crosshair placement.
The thing is gridshot isn’t really that much of a help, and it’s really just played for fun (even pros such as Demon1 said it). If you want to utilize Aimlabs then I suggest doing those modes that involves tracking, micro adjustments, smaller target like the kingg one), and generally avoid gridshot. Realistically, playing gridshot only helps you improve on gridshot, and not Valorant entirely, but DO I recommend aimlabs? No, I’d rather buy Prelude To Chaos vandal to improve aim.
Gridshot is done standing still, in valorant you're gonna have to be constantly moving and able to stop and shoot at a small target in quick succession
Improving your aim definitely helps, but I also recommend doing a bunch of deathmatches until you internalize where head level is for most angles that you'll peek, that way you only have to move your mouse horizontally when you want to kill someone and not have to memorize a bunch of ways to flick someone vertically at an angle.
my #1 tip is to improve your horizontal tracking with a very small target (I suggest learning to move your mouse with your arm a bit more; the best way to do this I've found is to do a bunch of gridshot with just your arm making sure your wrist is stiff, and make sure that you only move in straight lines and don't wiggle around too much)
make sure your aim is as least shaky as possible, be able to move front left to right in a horizontal 180 degree line as best as possible and once you get it practice following faster and faster targets. From there your crosshair placement and horizontal flicks are theoretically all you should need to get good. You'll need to learn to strafe and combine your aim with movement in the actual game as well, although some tracking scenarios allow you to move so I recommend finding one like that.
optionally you can try adding verticality to your skillset for situations like jett updrafts or simply getting caught off guard by someone on an off-angle on top of a box or something, but that bears less fruit imo
P.S. Don't expect to see results after just one session, give it like a week and you'll notice visible improvement
Yistyy [#7]If you want to improve, use a full aim training routine with multiple exercises. Only doing Gridshot won't help you long term.
*but make sure the routine is sub 30 minutes because after 30 its just more useful to play the game instead of aimtraining
TheAceGamer30 [#2]Do you play low sens or high sens?
you are the last person that should comment on this thread

bro I want to know his sens so I can tell him to use low sens even immortals told me that’s better 😂 and also get off my meat

No wonder you are dropping 1 vs golds
Karmine_Org_WhispeR [#14]No wonder you are dropping 1 vs golds
so I should have high sens?. Immortals told me if you want better aim you should play a lower sens
first biggest things are finding a sitting position youre confortable in, finding a mouse grip thats comfortable for you and finding a sens
you can tweak the sens around for a couple days but when it feels ok, dont change it again because its just time to build muscle memory
most improvement in valorant is crosshair placement and game knowledge, you dont need to practice your aim much to get better at valorant, I personally have never launched aimlabs or anything like it and I dont really believe that it is the most efficient way to improve. I just played 1v1s from CS when I was learning that game and it made my crosshair placement very good which carried me to FaceIT lvl 10 (immortal in valorant ranks). For valorant, just plays tonnes of deathmatch and youll get the same result and remember to take regular breaks, if you feel like youre not locked in anymore take a little break then come back (muscle memory is actually built in the time you are not doing something)

sens does not matter as long as you are comfortable on it, look at wippie's sens and it shows you can literally play whatever you want
cohnr [#17]sens does not matter as long as you are comfortable on it, look at wippie's sens and it shows you can literally play whatever you want
True I change my sens quite a lot but I’ve used to play higher sens but now I play a really low sens
TheAceGamer30 [#15]so I should have high sens?. Immortals told me if you want better aim you should play a lower sens
No, use a sensitivity you do well on a consistent basis. If you overflick or underflick everytime then there’s a clear problem, and you are not comfortable with it. Just because an Immo told you to go for a low sens does not mean you will be better at the game.
PandaCoco1 [#20]my only aim routine is playing the range and hitting my goal with atleast 3-5 20+ hard bot kills
and i dont even do this everyday
Karmine_Org_WhispeR [#22]No, use a sensitivity you do well on a consistent basis. If you overflick or underflick everytime then there’s a clear problem, and you are not comfortable with it. Just because an Immo told you to go for a low sens does not mean you will be better at the game.
Yeah it’s all about preference I personally think you hit more shots with lower sens compared to high sens but flick shots will be hard

as someone who has 7k hours on valorant and has been immortal for 4 years, it is purely preference whether high or low sense is better.

Agreed
some routines are useful. the routine where when you shoot the target it then moves to the right or left randomly then back to the center is a nice routine and I think translates well for when you are in a standard 1v1 gunfight.
Also, if it gives you more confidence to swing and hit a shot then it's useful.
TheAceGamer30 [#26]Agreed
there's also just too many variables to purely base off of sens (monitor is wide screen vs normal, mouse weight, etc) i used an extremely heavy mouse the first 2 years but when it broke i switched to the superlight and had to change my sense and I still don't think my aim in some parts (specifically my classic, I didn't need to buy a rifle) is worse than it was 2.5 years ago or however long ago it was
