ADS (Aim/Aiming down sight) is a way of using a gun with the scope on, so it provides more accurate results than hip fire. Therefore, ADS should be used more and more whenever players are engaged in fights.

Although they can occasionally use hip fire for closer ranged fights, medium and long-range scuffles should be fought with the scope.

When users have a rookie-level of expertise, their aiming will provide inaccurate results and dent their headshot percentage. Hence, they should take their time while aiming at opponents and fire when they feel the scope is stable.

Beginners new to the concept of recoil should keep their crosshair around the vest or neck of a player while using an AR, SMG, or LMG. The upward recoil pattern will automatically move their aim towards the head, earning them a headshot.

They can start adjusting the crosshair closer to the head when they better understand controlling the recoil of weapons.
