The players who win them consistently control timing, crosshair placement, cover, and trades. Raw reflex helps, but tournament fights are usually decided by preparation before the first bullet lands. This guide focuses on habits that make close fights cleaner for solo players and squads. ## Crosshair Placement Comes First Your crosshair should already be near the enemy’s likely position before you peek. If you peek with the crosshair low or wide, you waste time correcting aim. That small delay is enough to lose a close fight. Practice entering rooms with your crosshair at head or chest level. Pre-aim common corners, staircases, windows, and door edges. ## Do Not Repeat the Same Peek Repeeking the same angle after taking damage is a common mistake. Good opponents pre-aim your return. Change height, timing, or position before challenging again. If you must repeek, use utility or teammate pressure to disturb the enemy’s aim. ## Fight With Trade Spacing In squads, the first player should rarely be alone. The second player must be close enough to trade but not so close that both players are knocked by one spray. This spacing takes practice. A good trade does not mean rushing blindly after a teammate dies. It means being ready at the right angle when the enemy commits to the first duel. ## Use Utility Before Entry Stuns, grenades, and molotovs can turn a dangerous entry into a controlled push. If an enemy is holding a staircase, throw utility before walking into the angle. If someone is healing behind a wall, grenade pressure can force movement. Utility buys timing. Timing wins close fights. ## Respect Reloads and Ammo Many close fights are lost because players reload at the wrong time or push with half a magazine. Before entering, know whether you can finish the fight. If you need to reload, ask a teammate to cover. Listen for enemy reloads too. A reload sound can be the best moment to push. ## Do Not Overchase Knocks A knock feels exciting, but chasing it can turn a winning fight into a throw. Confirm where the remaining enemies are before pushing the knocked player. Many squads bait knocks to punish over-aggression. Secure space first, finish later. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Which gun is best for close range? The best gun depends on comfort, attachments, and situation. More important than the gun is timing, cover, and crosshair placement. ### Should I hip-fire or scope? Use hip-fire when the enemy is extremely close and movement matters. Use scope when you need tighter control at slightly longer close range. ### How do I stop panicking in close fights? Practice repeated entries, keep crosshair placement disciplined, and focus on one action at a time: cover, aim, shoot, reset. ## Key Takeaways Pre-aim common angles, avoid repeated peeks, trade properly, use utility before entry, manage reloads, and do not overchase knocks. ## Conclusion Close-range fighting becomes easier when you stop treating it like pure reaction. Build cleaner habits and your fights will feel slower, sharper, and more controlled.
