Getting into the world of Call of Duty and understanding its difficulties can prove to be quite vital for players who want to get better at the game. For newbies and seasoned veterans alike, mastering the fundamentals and adopting effective strategies can significantly improve their gameplay experience.

in this article, we will cover some possible ways to get better at Call of Duty:


How to improve your skills in Call of Duty?

Players can see an improvement in their gameplay and overall game sense by applying a few of the following tips:

1) Get to know your loadout

Every weapon in Call of Duty has distinct features, each with its own set of strengths and weaknesses. Players should familiarise themselves with these features and determine which one they are most comfortable with.

Players wanting to excel in short-range combat should opt for shotguns and machine guns, while those who find long-range encounters suitable should go for sniper rifles and marksman rifles.


2) Adjust your sensitivity

Players should get familiar with their in-game sensitivity and aim assist settings. Sensitivity controls how quickly your character looks around, while aim assist helps with targeting enemies. Players should experiment with these two settings for both horizontal and vertical movements to find out what’s best for them.


3) Watch professionals

Watching professional Call of Duty players and streamers on platforms like YouTube and Twitch can provide players with valuable insights into new strategies and methods.

Observe their movements, decision-making, and loadout choices to learn what sets them apart. Incorporating these tactics into your own playstyle can provide a significant edge.


4) Practice against bots

Players can practice their shooting kills against bots in private sessions before jumping into matches that feature real players as opponents. Private matches also allow the players to adjust the difficulty of their AI enemies. They can use default loadouts to understand various weapons or create custom ones after becoming comfortable.


5) Watch Killcams

One of the most underrated tools in all of Call of Duty is the Killcam. When a player is killed, the game often shows a replay from the perspective of the player who eliminated them.

This brief replay can provide valuable insights into how they were taken out and how they can rectify those mistakes. Moreover, they can pay attention to their opponents' attachments and tactical equipment. Subsequently, they can alter their loadouts and test out different equipment.
