Pixel Gun 3D is an epic first-person shooter known for its voxel-based graphics, with its aesthetic taking heavy inspiration from titles like Minecraft. The game itself has two particular game modes which have risen in popularity over the years. Fans and critics have appraised the TDM / DM game mode and the Battle Royale for their unique take on these particular genres.
Moreover, the game has seen a constant increase in player count, especially with new seasonal updates frequenting the game at a constant rate. However, the game highly relies on you being very good with your aim. Therefore, here are some tips that should help you improve your aim quickly in Pixel Gun 3D.
Many players make the mistake of relying on Cheese OP Weapons that might get nerfed at any time to practice their aim. While they may feel like they are providing a lot of impact to the game, it quickly fades away as soon as the said weapon is nerfed.
Practicing your aim on a weapon like a Rocket Launcher adds no positive benefit to your aim but rather destroys it since you start aiming for splash damage rather than direct hits. In any case, you should practice with the most basic weapons possible for an effective learning experience. Practicing with the Desert Eagle or a Carabine Rifle is the best methodology as it teaches you how to fire an automatic and a single-shot weapon.
You can then move on to whatever weapons you please, knowing that you have greater finesse in your aim than you did before.
A major aspect of having a good aim is to be comfortable with your current settings and key binds. Many players make the mistake of not spending a few minutes looking at their settings and deciding what is right for them. Thankfully, LDPlayer has made the entire process of adjusting your settings extremely easy with its dedicated key bind feature that lets you re-map your keys according to what suits you.
Moreover, you can also adjust the in-game society to whatever metric you desire. With in-depth control offered from both the Emulator and the game's side, you can fine-tune your sensitivity so that it matches your comfort level.
While it might be true that there is a set sensitivity that might be comfortable for more people, in the end, your sensitivity is a personal choice. However, some ways and metrics are defined to help you figure out what works the best for your current setup.
For a quick assessment, turn your sensitivity to a level you feel is comfortable. Then, move your mouse from the left side of your playing area to the extreme right. If your in-game character makes more than a 180-degree turn, your sensitivity is too high, and if they do not, then your sensitivity is low. In any case, you should adjust your sensitivity until a single movement makes an exact 180-degree turn.
In Pixel Gun 3D, you will need to have more fast-paced movements than extremely accurate slow ones. Therefore, after making the change, increase your sensitivity by about 10-20% for the perfect balance between accuracy and reflexes.
For keyboard bindings, make sure that your movement is set to WASD, and all other mandatory keys are placed within reach of your hand and are not far away. Ensure that you practice all these keys before you hop into a match and keep doing so every day until you do not get extremely familiar with them.
Having perfect controls should help you excel and improve your aim at an extremely rapid pace.
DM Game Modes are the perfect place to practice your aim. They are low-pressure areas where you can die as many times as you won't kill as many times as you can. Generally, these game modes have you face off against players who have a variety of weapons. So, while you improve your aim, you can also get an idea about the general game sense of a DM match by understanding what each weapon does and how you can counter it.
For example, Rocket Launcher takes extremely long, has extremely long reloaded times, and usually serves best when outputting large AoE spread damage. On the other hand, Sniper Rifles deal a lot of damage but are generally quite useless at close range.
Once you get the hang of your aim, you can then start thinking about effective strategies that can help you establish a lead over your opponents in terms of game sense and general mechanical skill.
When practicing your aim, never forget about all the different types of available weapons in the game. While you might not be using all of them or might have a few primary weapon types you stick to; you still will learn a lot about how you can counter them by trying them out for a few matches or rounds.
For example, learning about attack animations when you try melee weapons and understanding reload times for high power weapons can help you draft efficient counterattack strategies that would have been hard to figure out if you never tried out the weapons in the first place. If you’ve gotten used to your aim, here are some tricks that should help with your general game sense!
Pixel Gun 3D is quite a mechanically complex but equally fun game to play. The game has a finite skill curve that can get quite frustrating even if you are a veteran player. However, these tips should provide you with the relevant experience you need to understand the differences in weapon types in the game and how you can actively understand their disadvantages and advantages.
Before you start actively practicing your aim, make sure that you have chosen a primary weapon type that you like the most so you can practice it the most!
