Weapon Profile

How this page is sourced

Sourced from vendor documentation, plus field names and tooltips read from the scenario editor in September 2026. Checked against its sources. Not yet reviewed by a person.

The weapon decides what a click costs. It is also where most of a score's noise comes from. For a drill about aim, the job here is mostly taking things out.

  • Two tabs add randomness. Spread and Recoil, unless you use their patterned forms.
  • Type changes the skill. Hitscan points. Projectile leads.1
  • Cheats are a building tool. Do not leave them on.1
  • Most tabs are cosmetic. Graphics and Explosives change nothing about aiming.

Tabs

Main

The tab holds weapon name, type, category and a burst switch. It also holds damage per shot, bullets per click and time between shots.1

Then come origin offset, max hitscan range, headshot capable and factor. Last come damage falloff, damage at max range, and switch time reduction.1

Type is the decision on this page. Hitscan resolves where you pointed. Projectile takes time to arrive, so every shot becomes a lead, which is a different skill.

Category sets semi or full automatic, and time between shots sets the floor on your fire rate. For a click-timing drill that floor is the drill.

Headshot Capable and Headshot Factor pair with the head box on the character's Boxes tab. Together they make a smaller high-value area without shrinking the target.

Effects

The tab holds delay before shot, delay after shooting, piercing, hitscan radius, ground and air knockback, flat knockback, speed modifiers, stun, tagging and aim punch.

Hitscan Radius is worth knowing about. It widens what counts as a hit, independently of target size, so a drill can be made forgiving without redrawing the target.

Piercing lets one shot reach several targets. The editor describes it as allowing hitscan weapons to penetrate targets and damage more than one thing.

That changes what a line of targets asks for. Without it, a row is a selection problem. With it, a row is one shot taken at the right angle.

Two panels with three targets lined up. With piercing off the shot stops at the first target and the other two are left faded. With piercing on the shot passes through all three.Bassel Bakrhttps://github.com/Bassel-Bakr/aimPiercing offthe first target stops ittwo left standingPiercing onone shot, three targetsall three take damage
Without piercing a row of targets is a selection problem. With it, it is one shot.
Two panels with the same crosshair placed off-center. On the left the target itself is drawn larger, so the shot lands inside it. On the right the target is the original size but the shot has a wide radius, so it registers anyway.Bassel Bakrhttps://github.com/Bassel-Bakr/aimBigger targetBoxes tab, body radiusthe same miss counts as a hityou can see it is biggerWider bulletEffects tab, hitscan radiusthe same miss counts as a hitharder to see coming
Two ways to make the same miss count. One you can see coming. The other you cannot.

The knockback and stun fields shape fights, not aim. Leave them alone for a drill.

Ammo

The tab holds magazine max, ammo per shot, incremental reload, empty and partial reload times, ammo reloaded per kill, and reload before shot recovery.1

Reloads interrupt a drill. For most aim scenarios a magazine large enough never to reload keeps the run continuous.

Graphics

The tab holds view and third-person models and skins. It also holds hitscan trace particle, visual duration, radius and offset, and beam tracking. Then come muzzle flash, wall and body impact particles, decals and decal size.

It is cosmetic, with one exception. A trace or impact particle that reads clearly tells you where the shot went, which matters when you are diagnosing a miss.

Explosives

The tab's fields are Explodes, radius, area damage, self damage multiplier, explosion blocked by world, and clear attackers on self damage.

Skip this for an aim drill. Splash damage rewards being near the target, which is the opposite of the demand you are building.

Spread

The tab holds firing type, circular spread, stationary velocity and spread decay delay. Then comes a block per firing state: spread increase per shot, decrease per second, and a min and max.1

This is the main source of noise in a score. With spread, two identical inputs give two different outcomes, so a bad run may be the weapon rather than your aim.

Circular Spread decides the shape of the cone. Unchecked, the spread is square instead.

A square reaches further at its corners than along its edges, so the same setting is less forgiving on the diagonals. The min and max are the lowest the spread can be reduced to and the highest it can reach.

Two spread patterns around the same crosshair. The circular one reaches the same distance in every direction. The square one reaches further at its corners than along its edges.Bassel Bakrhttps://github.com/Bassel-Bakr/aimCircular spreadchecked, the defaultevery direction reaches the sameSquare spreaduncheckedcorners reach further out
The same spread value. A square reaches further at its corners than a circle ever does.

Set it to zero for any drill you intend to read. Keep it only when the drill is about controlling a spraying weapon.

PBS

Per bullet spread is a fixed pattern of offsets rather than a random cone, which suits a shotgun.1

A fixed pattern is learnable, so it is a skill rather than noise. That is the whole difference from the Spread tab.

Recoil

The tab holds vertical and horizontal recoil, each as a min and max. It also holds first shot multiplier, time to peak, auto reset and time to reset, then manual negation, crouch scale and ADS scale.1

Random recoil is noise like spread is noise. Two bursts climb differently, so your score moves for reasons that are not you.

Vertical Recoil is how far the crosshair moves up, drawn at random between the min and the max. Crouch Scale and ADS Scale multiply the whole thing in those two states, with one meaning no change.

The timing fields have a rule, and the editor states it. Time To Peak is how long the recoil takes to reach maximum. Time To Reset is how long after that before the crosshair returns.

The tooltip recommends that peak plus reset comes to less than the Main tab's Time Between Shots. Break that and the crosshair never returns between shots, so the climb accumulates.

Two panels, each firing two shots with the gap between them marked. On the left the crosshair climbs and returns to rest before the second shot. On the right it has not finished returning, so the second shot starts from higher up and the climb stacks.Bassel Bakrhttps://github.com/Bassel-Bakr/aimPeak + reset < gaphome before the next shotresting crosshairtime between shotsPeak + reset > gapthe climb stacksresting crosshairtime between shots
Peak plus reset has to fit inside the gap between shots, or the climb never comes home.

PSR

Per shot recoil is a fixed climb, the kind a Counter-Strike player learns.1 The editor describes it as for weapons where the recoil follows a pre-determined pattern over the magazine.

Use this when recoil control is the point of the drill.

It has its own timing pitfall. The per-shot time is how long each instance of recoil takes to play, and the automatic reset is blocked while it runs.

The tooltip recommends setting it above the Main tab's Time Between Shots, so that rapidly tapped shots still trigger recoil at all.

A loop start index decides which shot the pattern jumps back to once it reaches the end of the list.

ADS

The tab holds whether the weapon can aim down sights, and the zoom FOV. It also holds whether the user may override that FOV. Then come zoom time, start delay, sensitivity factor, blocking rules while zoomed, and a third-person camera offset.1

It is relevant only if your game has an ADS you want to practice through. It changes your effective sensitivity while zoomed, so treat a zoomed drill as a separate scenario.

Also Shoot

This tab attaches other weapon profiles to fire alongside this weapon. It is useful for building a weapon out of parts, and not something an aim drill needs.

Cheats

The tab holds aimbot mode, target preference and disable on kill. It also holds lock strength, max speed, FOV and deadzone, then line-of-sight and axis rules, lock offsets, auto-off and re-engage timers.1

Last come sticky lock, head lock, trigger bot and its delay.1

This tab is a building tool. An aimbot takes your own aim out of the picture. That is what you want when checking whether a scenario's geometry, spawns and motion behave as intended.

Cheats can be disabled through the challenge properties, and are freely available in free play.1 Turn them off before the scenario becomes something you score.

Lock Deadzone is the field that makes an aimbot useful. It is the distance from the target at which the lock stops tracking.

At zero the lock stays on the target's center and nothing you do matters. Set it and the lock brings the crosshair close, then stops tracking.

That is a far better way to check whether a scenario's spawns and motion behave as intended.

Two panels, each with a locked crosshair dragged toward a target. With no deadzone it arrives at dead center. With a deadzone set it stops at the edge of a marked ring short of the middle.Bassel Bakrhttps://github.com/Bassel-Bakr/aimDeadzone 0it lands dead centerlock never releasesDeadzone setit stops shortdeadzonelock releases here
A deadzone is what turns a lock from an unbeatable opponent into a building tool.

Target Preference decides priority when several targets are available. Disable On Kill decides whether a lock may move to a new target once it has one.

Lock Vertical Offset shifts how far up or down the lock aims when locking vertically.

Common mistakes

  • Reading a score from a weapon with spread as a measure of aim.
  • Leaving a cheat enabled after testing.1
  • Editing Charge or Burst settings without enabling them on Main.1
  • Building a magazine small enough that reloads break the drill.

In practice

Strip first, then judge. For a drill about aim, a weapon with no spread, no random recoil and no reload keeps the score about where you pointed.

Do this next. Open the weapon profile of a scenario you play and check its Spread tab. If it has any, copy the scenario with spread at zero and compare a session on each.
