Killing with one shot or two shots is a way to quickly progress in COD Modern Warfare 2. If you watch MW2 gameplay videos from pro players, they have the perfect target. Not spraying bullets on enemies, they always try to hit the head. This is what makes you more competent in the game. There are some tweaks, perks and equipment in MW2 that can help with aiming. This guide has everything on how to get the maximum number of headshots in MW2.
MW2 headshot guide – how to improve aiming?
Go to your Modern Warfare controller settings and click Advanced. Set the aim assist type to Black Ops. After applying the settings, the sight will slow down for a split second. Bring the gun to your head and shoot. You will need some practice with the settings, otherwise you will hardly notice the difference. Reducing weapon recoil contributes greatly to getting the perfect headshot. Work on gear that reduces the impact of weapon movement and lowering.
One advantage that will work in your favor is Focus. This reduces flinching when you aim down. It also increases the duration of the Breath, which also affects the movement of the weapon when searching from a distance. Other important factors that improve aiming are mouse sensitivity and ADS. The goal here is to get the perfect settings that allow you to quickly look around. Without moving the weapon much up and down, the movement should be in a straight line.
Settings are only needed to improve accuracy, you will have to practice a lot. If you move your weapon a lot, then your bullet will be aimed mainly at the legs and torso. Some players use third person mode to get a more visible area. Here are some quick ways to reduce recoil and improve headshot kills in MW2.
- Grips can reduce recoil and add consistent speed while moving.
- You can set up attachments in Gunsmith 2.0 and set the weapon’s function to reduce ADS and recoil.
- Increase the FOV to the maximum to get a more visible area. The disadvantage of these settings is that they cause problems with ADS.
- In Settings, under Camera, set First Person Camera to 50%.
A lot depends on attachments, you need to work on finding the best attachments that open as you level up. To understand this, you can check out our guide to the best M4 gear. And for other similar guides, visit our COD MW2 section.
