Why Your Spray Control SUCKS (Fix it in 7 Days) — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Does your spray control look like this?
2. 0:04But you want it to look like this.
3. 0:11In this video, I'm going to explain why
4. 0:12you suck at it, what makes up great
5. 0:14spray control, and how you can improve
6. 0:16yours in just 7 days. Spray control is
7. 0:19simple.
8. 0:20It's controlling the recoil pattern of
9. 0:22your weapon so all your bullets land
10. 0:25exactly where you want them. And there
11. 0:27are three ways to actually do this.
12. 0:29Spray, holding mouse one continuously,
13. 0:32and actually follow the recoil pattern.
14. 0:34You can burst, controlling the first
15. 0:36three to five bullets. Or you can tap,
16. 0:38so that's single or double shots. And
17. 0:40you may say they're just different
18. 0:41shooting styles. Well, no. This all
19. 0:44makes up spray control. Because here's
20. 0:46the thing that separates pros from
21. 0:48everyone else. It's not just controlling
22. 0:50the spray, it's also when to choose each
23. 0:53of those shooting methods. Everyone
24. 0:55knows that the AK spray goes up, right,
25. 0:58and then left. But knowing the pattern
26. 1:00and actually training it are two
27. 1:02completely different things. Mistake one
28. 1:04is panic shooting. As soon as you see
29. 1:06the enemy, you crouch, you hold mouse
30. 1:08one, and you just hope your bullets
31. 1:10land. You're not even thinking about
32. 1:12your first bullet, you're just hoping
33. 1:14and dumping your mag. As we like to call
34. 1:16it, the old spray and pray. And this
35. 1:18results in one kill if you're lucky.
36. 1:20You're becoming an inconsistent player
37. 1:22with this style. There's no system to
38. 1:25it, it's just panic. And this mistake
39. 1:27leads into mistake two, committing to a
40. 1:30spray when you shouldn't. This isn't
41. 1:32just about holding mouse one when you
42. 1:33see someone, it's also about what
43. 1:35happens mid-fight when a second enemy
44. 1:37appears, and this is either a different
45. 1:39distance or a different position on the
46. 1:41screen. You commit further into the
47. 1:43spray, holding mouse one, and you get
48. 1:45lost in the middle of the spray pattern.
49. 1:47This means not only are you having to
50. 1:48track the new enemy, but you're also
51. 1:50having to rely on your knowledge of the
52. 1:52spray pattern. Knowing when to commit
53. 1:54and when and how to reset are extremely
54. 1:57important. And again, this leads into
55. 1:59mistake three, spraying at distances you
56. 2:02can't handle. And this is where we move
57. 2:04on to those different shooting methods.
58. 2:06Because if you're watching this, you
59. 2:08haven't mastered spray control yet. You
60. 2:11are struggling to hit even the mid to
61. 2:12close range fights, let alone across the
62. 2:15map. Yet, you're still spraying at long
63. 2:17distances like you're donk. If that
64. 2:19sounds familiar, well, here's the
65. 2:21framework that actually fixes it. Now,
66. 2:23fixing my spray wasn't going to happen
67. 2:25in deathmatch sessions where I was maybe
68. 2:27getting one or two real spray encounters
69. 2:30or against bots where they were
70. 2:31completely static. So, I went into
71. 2:34refrag.gg.
72. 2:36Refrag has dedicated spray control
73. 2:38scenarios built specifically for this.
74. 2:41So, instead of praying for reps in DM,
75. 2:43you get hundreds of focused spray reps
76. 2:46in the time you want. And this can be
77. 2:48the difference between spraying like
78. 2:49donk or a liege or spraying like your
79. 2:52local choker nitro. And to help you with
80. 2:54this, they've dropped a new feature
81. 2:56called sessions which tracks your
82. 2:58improvement across every training
83. 3:00session. So, now you [music] can
84. 3:01actually see if you're getting better
85. 3:03without just guessing. Which, for a
86. 3:05video literally about measuring
87. 3:07improvement, is exactly what I needed.
88. 3:09[music]
89. 3:09If you want to try refrag for yourself,
90. 3:11make sure you use code key and you'll
91. 3:13get three free days. Link is in the
92. 3:15description. So, here's three steps and
93. 3:18rules to improving your spray control.
94. 3:21Rule number one, you want to match the
95. 3:23range to the shooting method. So, for
96. 3:25this, if they're close, like so, you
97. 3:28want to spray. If they are medium
98. 3:30distance, like so, you want to burst.
99. 3:32Then, if they are long range, like so,
100. 3:34you want to tap.
101. 3:37This is a really strong foundation to
102. 3:39have when going into spray control. You
103. 3:41should be allowing your range to
104. 3:42determine your method. Rule number two
105. 3:45is you want to master the first 10
106. 3:47bullets of a spray. So, don't worry
107. 3:49about spraying the the mag, focus on the
108. 3:52first 10 bullets.
109. 3:54That is the most important part of the
110. 3:56spray. So,
111. 3:58you want to make sure you have that
112. 3:59spray locked in. Once you can control
113. 4:02those first 10 bullets flawlessly, you
114. 4:04can move on to the rest. However,
115. 4:07if you don't master those first 10, and
116. 4:10you aren't killing the opposition or the
117. 4:12enemy,
118. 4:14you should already be dead. And this
119. 4:16merges nicely into rule three, which is
120. 4:18something I am learning quite
121. 4:20extensively right now. Always move
122. 4:22between your bursts. Now, I'm saying
123. 4:25this because if you just hold mouse one
124. 4:27at a distance, you're uh hoping that
125. 4:29your 30 bullets land. And it makes you a
126. 4:32sitting duck for those shots. However,
127. 4:35if you burst, stop, reposition, and
128. 4:38burst again, not only are you hard to
129. 4:40hit, but also you're more likely to hit
130. 4:42your shots. And this is visualized as
131. 4:45such. So, let's say a player who's all
132. 4:46the way back there, you try and spray,
133. 4:51that is an average of your bullets. You
134. 4:53can try and get that closer,
135. 4:56but it's still quite bad. Whereas if you
136. 4:58burst,
137. 5:04and move,
138. 5:05not only are you a hard target to hit,
139. 5:07but you're more likely to hit your
140. 5:09target. Now we know the fundamentals of
141. 5:11what spray control is, what bad spray
142. 5:13control is, what the rules to good spray
143. 5:16control are, let's talk about how to
144. 5:19improve your own spray control, and how
145. 5:21I'm going to spend the next 7 days
146. 5:23training mine to show you how to improve
147. 5:26yours. Day one was kind of the audit
148. 5:28day. So, we took a look at what refrag
149. 5:31routine is useful,
150. 5:33and we made sure that we built a routine
151. 5:35for the week that I felt had the biggest
152. 5:38impact on my spray control, but was also
153. 5:41going to have a direct reflection how I
154. 5:44would use it in game. The routine starts
155. 5:46with spray training workshop map. I'll
156. 5:48put a link in the description for that.
157. 5:50For the day one I focused on the key
158. 5:52weapons to see where I was making
159. 5:54mistakes in my spray control. The thing
160. 5:56I noticed is that my AK spray and my
161. 5:59M4A1-S spray were kind of wrong after
162. 6:02the first 10 bullets. This was great to
163. 6:04realize because this is something I can
164. 6:06focus on as well for the week. For day
165. 6:08two I was really focusing on the spray
166. 6:10for if two enemies swung me. So the
167. 6:12rookie mode on refrag. This was really
168. 6:14great because it wasn't just spray
169. 6:16transferring one target, it was making
170. 6:18sure that I kept the spray in the right
171. 6:20position for if two targets swung me.
172. 6:22This is really useful if you are holding
173. 6:24a site or position across the map. One
174. 6:26thing I'm actively trying to do because
175. 6:28I'm realizing and I need to make a note
176. 6:30of this is that I am over tensing my
177. 6:33sprays. So as soon as the spray starts I
178. 6:35like heavily push down and that makes
179. 6:38the pull down so much more difficult.
180. 6:40This felt a bit unnatural because I was
181. 6:41trying my best not to panic
182. 6:43despite the second enemy appearing in my
183. 6:45view. I really made sure not panic,
184. 6:48finish and confirm the first kill which
185. 6:51is very important and then move on to
186. 6:53the second. Day three and we focused on
187. 6:55spray transfers, not just peaking from
188. 6:58the same angle like the spray rookie
189. 6:59mode. For this you're making sure that
190. 7:01you're spraying at one target as a
191. 7:03second target appears somewhere else on
192. 7:05your screen. I wanted to make sure that
193. 7:07mid target switching felt a lot more
194. 7:09automatic in my game. This is a really
195. 7:11hard skill to perfect because it's not
196. 7:13only about your flick, it's also about
197. 7:16tracking while mid spray. This mode
198. 7:18probably felt the most rewarding as we
199. 7:20went on because as this improved I felt
200. 7:23more confident in my spray and using it
201. 7:26in real situations. And day four was
202. 7:29about range management and discipline.
203. 7:31So it was focusing on rule one for
204. 7:33matching the range, the distance from
205. 7:36ourselves to our enemies to the method
206. 7:38we use when shooting. So whether it's
207. 7:41spraying, bursting or tapping. And to do
208. 7:44this, we use some modes like crossfire,
209. 7:48XFire, and rush. This was done so we
210. 7:51could subconsciously start choosing
211. 7:53between which shooting method to use
212. 7:55while training consciously. On day five,
213. 7:58I hit a bit of a brick wall though. And
214. 8:00honestly, it was one of my low days. I
215. 8:02had my old habits creeping back. I was
216. 8:05panic spraying. There was just
217. 8:06frustration in everything I did. But
218. 8:08maybe that's because I spent a whole day
219. 8:10in the sun, and getting mild heatstroke
220. 8:13isn't great for your performance. But I
221. 8:15had to remember that this training
222. 8:16routine will take time. So, I took a
223. 8:19break, and I dived into day six. By day
224. 8:22six, this training routine was solid. We
225. 8:24started with Refrag Master for about 5
226. 8:27to 10 minutes to make sure we got those
227. 8:28spray patterns correct. We then jumped
228. 8:31into the Refrag routine, which by the
229. 8:33way, if you search up Keat in the Refrag
230. 8:35routines, you will find my Keat spray
231. 8:38control routine there for you to use,
232. 8:40too. And in each modes, I was climbing
233. 8:42the ELO ladder. This is how I knew I was
234. 8:45getting better and better each day. And
235. 8:47with Refrag, I was making sure to put
236. 8:49the three rules and the three steps we
237. 8:51talked about, but under pressure. Then,
238. 8:53we finished off the day with death match
239. 8:56to make sure that the training was
240. 8:58becoming subconscious. And so, for day
241. 9:00seven, of course, we wanted to look at
242. 9:03not only just doing the training,
243. 9:05but also look at how I did over the
244. 9:07week. And
245. 9:09from these two sets of stats, so my
246. 9:13sessions, which is the new Refrag
247. 9:15feature that you can use to track how
248. 9:17you are doing across your training on
249. 9:19refrag.gg, but also using Leetify to
250. 9:23track how I did in my matches. And as
251. 9:25you can see here on Refrag, from my last
252. 9:2824 matches, where I got a plus 3% on my
253. 9:30spray accuracy. So, I think we can show
254. 9:33that my training and this routine that
255. 9:36I've built, so remember for searching
256. 9:37Keith in the routines on Refrag, it it
257. 9:40actually translated from training into
258. 9:42matches, which is massive and absolutely
259. 9:45huge, and it's something that I'm going
260. 9:46to continue doing going forward. And not
261. 9:48just from a numbers point of view, if we
262. 9:50go into the feel of it, I'm definitely
263. 9:52choosing my shooting method better. I'm
264. 9:54spraying at close range. I'm bursting at
265. 9:57the mid to far range. Maybe I need to do
266. 9:59more taps, but at least this is an
267. 10:01improvement. And I definitely felt like
268. 10:03I could be repeatable with my multi-frag
269. 10:05and it didn't feel just lucky. So, my
270. 10:07honest verdict is this. Does one week
271. 10:10make you Donk? No, of course not. You
272. 10:13have to work and work and work to get
273. 10:15where Donk has, but it has improved me,
274. 10:19and I do believe it will improve you.
275. 10:21The framework is there so that we can
276. 10:23improve together,
277. 10:24and so in the future,
278. 10:26after months of this rewiring and this
279. 10:29training, we will continue to grow,
280. 10:31especially if we go back and use the
281. 10:33crosshair placement routine
282. 10:35that I made in this video here.
283. 10:38Together, these two mechanics will
284. 10:40completely change how you approach every
285. 10:43duel. Make sure you comment below what
286. 10:45your biggest struggle with spray control
287. 10:46is, or even just the biggest struggle
288. 10:48you have when playing the game. And
289. 10:50maybe the next video will be what you
290. 10:53guys are struggling with most. Right,
291. 10:55thanks for watching. Make sure you
292. 10:56subscribe, watch this playlist if you're
293. 10:58trying to improve as well, and use the
294. 11:00code Keith on Refrag for a free 3 days
295. 11:04of competitive tier so that you can
296. 11:06continue to train like the pros. Right,
297. 11:09I'll see you in the next video.
298. 11:11Peace.
