How it works

Start by playing our benchmarks first and see where you place. If you are new to Aim Training then we highly recommend starting at Iron and working your way up. This will help you develop good habits from the get go. Once you’ve played the benchmarks you can play the routine that matches your skill level. For instance if you place Bronze, play the Bronze routines. After benchmarking once, you can continue benchmarking yourself on a weekly basis to see if you are good enough to move on to more difficult routines.

Feel free to play harder or easier versions as you see fit, but don’t insist on playing Tasks that are too difficult for you, as that may develop bad habits. You may also mix and match tasks from other difficulties if you excel in a certain category. That way you are still developing those areas of your aim properly.

It’s in your best interest to use a routine that’s catered to your weaknesses, however the routines below should work for anyone. It doesn’t matter what game you play—these tasks will help you develop all your fundamental aiming skills (aside from movement aiming).

Important

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

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 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.
  1. Q: How many scores do I need in a certain benchmark rank to advance?
  1. Please refer to the benchmarks progression sheet and benchmarks guide in our resources channel.

Planning your Training

It’s important to approach the included routines with a complete understanding of their role, and additionally  the role of the benchmarks that they pertain to. Taking part in Voltaic’s aim training resources means you intend to improve your mouse control ability through consistent training that pushes you towards several small achievable goals. These goals take the form of our Benchmarks, which assign a rank based on the highest score you garner in a given scenario. It’s important to keep in mind that it is up to you, as a player looking to be more proficient, to ensure the benchmark scores you achieve are honest representations of your ability. Your goal shouldn’t be to improve solely at our ranking system by overfocusing the benchmarks, but rather honing all aspects related to aim training in its entirety.

With this in mind it becomes evident that Voltaic’s Benchmark scenarios should not be the bulk of your training, and finding scenarios that challenge you at your respective level without being debilitatingly difficult becomes a new focus. The Fundamental routines provided here are meant to serve exactly this purpose, providing players with skill-specific routines that serve as spaces where they can work on their weaknesses. When this is coupled with periodically assessing mouse control propensity on our benchmarks, a completely built-out baseline for a training routine can be established.

It’s important to reiterate the significance behind playing routines for training that are optimally balanced for a player’s specific difficulty. If a scenario is too difficult but continues to be a part of someone’s practice, that person will begin to reframe their play for success in the scenario itself, subsequently adopting practices that are highly unlikely to translate to their game of choice. Every bit of improvement made and lessons learned within aim training should apply to a greater scope of concepts that can then be overlaid onto multiple relevant situations.


Mouse Control Mainstays

When training on the fundamental routines, improvement has to be brought on by deliberate identification of mistakes, and a base understanding of correct principles to adhere to. Practicing with this mindset allows a player to lay a strong foundation early, so they can carve out their own preferred styles and regimen down the line. The common subcategories identified within mouse control training all have principles that work for multiple scenarios of the same type, an overview of which can be seen here:

DYNAMIC CLICKING

        Reading target movements and hit confirming before attempting an elimination make tracking single-click targets much easier to deal with.  It’s easy to oversimplify movements to their larger and more obvious motions while being unaware of slight changes in depth or speed, and minor direction changes. Smooth target to target transitions will make these movements much easier to perceive, and should prevent disorientation by switching too abruptly or haphazardly.

STATIC CLICKING

        Pushing improvement in static will be brought on by ensuring a continuous balance of speed and accuracy as you progress, while observing details that influence a player’s ability to achieve both. Maintaining straight initial flicks, underflicking as much as possible, and attempting to land initial flicks within clusters are keys to success that will prove useful down the line.

PRECISE TRACKING

        Direction changes will be relatively infrequent, and when they do happen they will usually be predictable. Minor changes in speed and depth will be the primary adjustments needed once the simpler strafing motions are initially understood. As with most subcategories, correctly tracking a target with these behaviors is highly dependent on well-refined smoothness.

REACTIVE TRACKING

        Typically an intimidating category for newer players, reactive scenarios stress-test both your smoothness and perception. The stark changes in speed and direction are intentionally present to influence you to overreact and thus inadvertently force multiple adjustments from a single movement. Attempt to find opportunities to undertrack your target and position your crosshair within the target such that you have a buffer to react to sudden direction changes.

SPEED SWITCHING

Targets within these scenarios are intentionally larger, so that eliminations can become more frequent and influence more switches as a result. Landing your initial flick on each target whenever possible and smoothly tracking its path will be the main aspects of a successful run. Micro-corrections should be few and far between, and partially damaged bots should be avoided whenever possible.

EVASIVE SWITCHING

Where speed switches lean more toward the accuracy of your switches and less on the smooth tracking once the initial flick has been landed, evasive is meant to assess the opposite conditions. Your transition to smoothness upon coming out of your initial flick should ideally be both seamless and immediate.

  3. Why: Improves horizontal and diagonal reactivity.
  1.  VT Air AIO Expert  - 2 runs
  1. Description: Track a moderately sized quickly moving bot that changes movement patterns randomly.
  2. How: Try not to overshoot when correcting for strafes. Stay smooth on your reacquisition of the target and focus on reacquiring accurately rather than quickly. Doing so will ensure you don’t start predicting and that your transitions when the bot changes movement patterns are good.
  3. Why: Improves horizontal and vertical smoothness and reactivity as well as your discipline when tracking (reading movement and adjusting for it rather than blindly reacting to direction changes).
  1.  VT Blinktrack Advanced  - 2 runs
  1. Description: Track a bot that moves slightly and blinks frequently.
  2. How: Read the movement of the bot and smoothly acquire the target following a blink. Land softly and accurately on target and don't dwell on reacting quickly to the movement of the bot. After acquisition, continue to watch the bot and read its movement carefully as it will blink again. Stay smooth after landing on target.
  3. Why: Improves reading skills and tracking on blinking and fast moving targets.
  1.  VT UFO Hard  - 2 runs
  1. Description: Track a bot with varied strafes and frequent blinks.

  3. Why: Teaches you to not predict as the bot will travel a varied distance before stopping and can stop for a varied time.
  1.  VT Flicker Plaza Dash Master  - 1 run
  1. Description: Track a series of bots that dashes horizontally and stays still in between dashes.
  2. How: Track the bot smoothly as it dashes attempting to hit it while it’s dashing. React quickly to the dash but stay controlled and don’t overflick/overshoot the dash.
  3. Why: Teaches you to not predict as the bot will travel a varied distance before stopping. Teaches discipline as you may be tempted to react quickly but doing so will result in poor learning.
  1.  VT Flicker Plaza Master AIO  - 1 run
  1. Description: A Ground Plaza type scenario where you must be smooth and reactive against horizontal bots that blink frequently.
  2. How:  Focus on the target so that you can read its movement and react quickly to its direction changes. Be reactive to blinks, but stay smooth and reacquire the target accurately.
  3. Why: Improves your horizontal smoothness and reactivity to help you react quickly to directional changes.
  1.  VT VSS Close-Mid Long Master  - 2 runs
  1. Description: Track a horizontally strafing bot that changes its speed and distance from you periodically.

  1.  VT Precision XYZ Master  - 2 runs
  1. Description: Track a bot that can move in any direction within a zone directly in front of you. This version features a smaller bot.
  2. How: Be quick with reactions as the direction changes of the bot are very quick. Smoothly track the long strafes to do as much damage as possible.
  3. Why: This scenario is very good at training tracking in all directions within small angles directly in front of the player.
  1.  VT Angleshot Advanced  - 5 runs
  1. Description: A click timing scenario that features bots that strafe horizontally, diagonally, vertically, and has erratic strafes against a wall.
  2. How: Focus on smooth motions from bot to bot. Pay attention to the strafes and read the bot, adjust your crosshair and click.
  3. Why: Improves your reading skills, so you can more effectively and efficiently eliminate targets with erratic movement.
  1.  VT Popshot  - 5 runs
  1. Description: VT Popshot has a full 360 degree map with small targets and predictable arc movements and height variances per bot.
  2. How: Focus on hitting as many targets as possible while reading them and working on your crosshair placement. Usually, you’ll want to go for targets that are at their apex.
  3. Why: The smaller targets on popcorn force you to be more precise and read the bot’s pattern at an appropriate level. Leap 180 targets move faster than bounce 180 and force you to read movement faster.
  1.   VT Flowshot Small  - 5 runs
  1. Description: A clicking scenario with 5 targets across a 180 degree map. The targets move horizontally and diagonally.
  2. How: Focus on moving from target to target with smooth motions. Pay attention to your next target so you can intercept it and be ready to microadjust if it changes direction or if you miss.

  1. Description: VT evaTS Smooth is a larger angle switching scenario against fast and evasive targets that have a very high ttk due to health regeneration.
  2. How: Focus on being as smooth as possible while staying on the target. For evaTS, switch to the target closest to your crosshair for each kill with one smooth motion, attempting to intercept its path. For A360T Master, move to a target that’s at its apex or about to reach its apex. Follow through on the arc attempting to hit it even at the bottom of the arc.
  3. Why: These bots get harder to track due to their size and speed. The larger angles will help you train your mouse control on different parts of your mousepad.
  1.  VT Arcswitch 360 Grandmaster  - 5 runs
  1. Description: 360 degree switching scenario with targets that bounce in a predictable arc and have regenerating health.
  2. How: Focus on being as smooth as possible while staying on the target. For evaTS , switch to the target closest to your crosshair for each kill with one smooth motion, attempting to intercept its path. For A360T, move to a target that’s at its apex or about to reach its apex. Your target viability depends on how far the target is from your crosshair and how fast you can kill it before it reaches the bottom part of its arc.
  3. Why: Why: These bots get harder to track due to their size and speed. The larger angles will help you train your mouse control on different parts of your mousepad.
  1.  berryTS Static  - 5 runs
  1. Description: Static targets on a map with large angles.
  2. How: Focus on smoothly tracking each bot with as little jitter as possible before switching to the next one. Try to make smooth and clean motions that land directly from one target to another.
  3. Why: This trains your target acquisition speed and accuracy, so that you can switch targets faster and more accurately.
