This wiki is for anyone who wants to train aim deliberately, instead of only playing and hoping to improve. It assumes no aim-training experience. You don't need an aim trainer, a known sensitivity, or any idea what a benchmark is to start here.

Keep the trainer to a slice of your practice

Aimlabs describes the community's common view as a daily playlist of 30 to 40 minutes. Past that, it says, time in your own game does more for you.1

A first pass through the wiki looks like this:

  1. Set up your gear and sensitivity. Get your mouse, mousepad, and Windows settings out of the way first, so acceleration or a cramped pad does not undermine later practice. See Setup and Gear and Sensitivity.
  2. Pick a trainer. Decide between a dedicated aim trainer and in-game practice modes, or use both. See Aim Trainers.
  3. Learn the fundamentals. Understand what "aim" is made of and how deliberate practice works before you start drilling. See Fundamentals.
  4. Find your weaknesses. Run a benchmark to see which core category, clicking, tracking, or switching, is holding you back. Aimlabs suggests reviewing fights you lose, and asking whether your mechanics or your decisions lost them.2 See Benchmarks.
  5. Follow a routine. Turn your benchmark result into a repeatable practice session instead of randomly picking scenarios. See Routines.
  6. Track progress and handle plateaus. Improvement is not linear. Know how to measure it and what to do when your scores stop moving. See Progress and Plateaus.

You don't have to follow these steps in strict order. Doing setup and sensitivity first, though, saves relearning your aim on top of gear you later change.
