Practice routines

10 drills that actually move the needle.

Aim warm-ups, recoil patterns, prefire spots, retake clears, smoke lineup memorization. Each routine has a duration, the workshop map you load, and step-by-step instructions.

Aim drills

How to use this: pick ONE routine before you queue. 5–10 minutes of warm-up beats no warm-up. Cycle different ones across the week so you cover aim, recoil, utility, and prefire. Mechanics improve from rep, not from playing more comp games.
