Starting out

If you are completely new to aim training, then we highly suggest you start at Bronze and work your way up. It’s in your best interest to cater a routine based on your weaknesses, however the routines below should work for anyone. It doesn’t matter what game you play, these scenarios should help you develop all your fundamental aiming skills (aside from movement aiming).

Important

The scenarios underneath and the benchmarks are subject to change. Our goal is to keep this document up-to-date with scenarios that we recommend people to play.

Disclaimer: the benchmarks and skill ranks are merely an indication and you shouldn’t insist on playing a routine that’s too hard for you. Work your way up so you develop the right habits rather than speeding through the ranks.

Frequently asked questions

  1. Q: Why are there no movement aiming scenarios?
  1. Currently we have no strafe aim routines, but we are planning to add these to the document later.
  1. Q: Why are the benchmarks and fundamental routines different?
  1. The benchmarks are meant to measure your skill and the fundamental routines are meant for improvement, hence why there are no score targets for them.

After this level it’s in your best interest to develop your own routine using our recommended scenarios sheet and try out methods for yourself. Try to achieve the ranks in the benchmarks or climb the Voltaic rankings sheet.

We removed the Grandmaster routines, new and better ones are in the works.
