How to Improve in Hypixel Cops and Crims

Hypixel Cops and Crims is a game where there are two teams of eight players. They compete in a team death match determined by points, or a defusal mode in which the cops try to kill all the criminals, or defuse the bomb, and the criminals plant the bomb or eliminate all cops.

Method 1 of 5:

Improving Before the Game

  1. 1
    Become more accurate at the range
    • There is a shooting range where you can practice shooting targets.
    • When you enter the range, right click the "Gun Selection" item in your fourth slot.
    • You can pick a gun and shoot any of the mobs, or practice throwing grenades.
    • You can get several achievements at the range, one is from killing the cow with a frag grenade, another is from being shot by another player in the range, and there is a progression of achievements for shooting targets enough times (peaking with 500 mob kills at tier 4)
  2. 2
    Upgrade your weapons and character
    • Open the shop, which is an emerald in the third slot of your hotbar.
    • You can upgrade individual weapons, with the general upgrades being nine tiers of damage, reload reduction, recoil reduction and cost reduction. There is also a magazine capacity increase when you max the weapon.
    • You can click armour specialization to reduce the cost.
    • You can get character upgrades to increase movement speed, start with more money and gain an increase on coins per kill in defusal mode.
    • You can also increase the damage and speed of your knife.

    Start quests
    • Starting quests at the quest master will allow a daily supply of coins for achieving certain goals, such as winning games or getting a set number of kills and points. You can use the coins gained to get several of the cheaper upgrades on your weapons, or save them for larger upgrades.

General Mechanics and Tactics

  1. 1
    Become familiar with guns
    • Each gun has a specific damage tier, capacity and firing speed. Some even have different modes of shooting, such as the pump action and SPAS firing a cluster of shots, or the Steyr AUG and the 50 cal having a sight when you crouch.
    • Recognize some guns are better than others. The M4 is very easy to use, with a high capacity magazine, good stability and has a high firing rate.
    • Choose guns that are better on maps. A further range map such as Temple would be better for snipers and rifles, while a SPAS or an MP5 would be better on Alleyway, as it is closer range.
  2. 2
    Throw grenades into chokepoints
    • There are several types of grenades, but most are offensive in nature. Generally, if you wish to blind or damage an enemy, you should throw it into a doorway or corridor an enemy is likely to be in, or as you are about to enter a small room to clear it.
    • If you want to temporarily cut off movement in a hallway or other strategic area, throw a firebomb on the ground in that area, as it will burn enemies quickly.
    • If you need to escape, throw a smoke and run through it.
  3. 3
    Maintain good communication with teammates
    • Especially in defusal, it is important to maintain good communication with other members of your squad. Communicating which site you are protecting or where you are going can allow others to provide cover, or allow you to provide proper support.
    • Use radio commands bought in the lobby shop to quickly call out plans when typing would take too long.
  4. 4
    Use cover
    • Using walls to your advantage can save you from a spray of bullets.
    • Hiding behind red and blue boxes can protect you from a bullet, but each box will break on being shot.
    • Wood planks, stairs and slabs reduces damage, so while it is not the safest, it is better than nothing.
  5. 5
    Practice
    • Practice in either mode will always help. Training in TDM will allow for deaths to have less of a time penalty and allow use of more guns per round.

Method 3 of 5:

Specific Firing Tactics

  1. 1
    Provide suppressive fire.
    • Providing suppressive fire can ensure your teammates can run past an entry while minimizing risk.
    • Aim at the area you wish to suppress, typically a door or passage, and fire once or twice a second, providing 15-30 seconds of cover from a gun with a high capacity, such as the M4, the AK-47 or the Steyr AUG.
  2. 2
    Control recoil.
    • Controlling recoil is important. Aiming directly for the head will cause roughly 2/3 of your magazine to fly over their head due to recoil, unless you are using the SPAS, which has a sideways recoil.
    • Aim roughly 0.5-1 block below their head, as the first shots will register as hits to their body, and then recoil will push the gun into headshot position, but no further as there is a limit on how much recoil can be present. This will lead to more shots hitting on average.
  3. 3
    Reduce your movement
    • Movement decreases accuracy, especially if you are strafing. If possible, hold a position and stand still, or run straight forward while firing. Strafing causes bullets to stray off course.
    • If you are sniping or suppressing, crouching while standing still will grant even more accuracy, and allow the use of a scope. However, you are at more risk of being hit as you are not moving yourself.
    • When moving from location to location, you should strafe to be a harder to hit target.
  4. 4
    Try burst firing
    • Another way to ensure accuracy is to tap your fire button and fire in bursts of 3-6 shots. This allows you to keep more ammo and aim a little higher without compromising your accuracy.

Method 4 of 5:

Team Death Match Mode

  1. 1
    Use high point guns
    • If you have upgraded high point guns or feel comfortable using them, they will gain you more points per kill.
    • The USP, the HK45, the SPAS and the 50 Cal all provide higher points, as do knives and grenades, but they are less reliable.
    • The Steyr AUG, the AK-47 and the M4 are generally worse for points, providing ~10 points on headshot compared to the over 20 per headshot with high point guns.
  2. 2
    Rush the enemy
    • Since TDM is a time and point based mode, death is less of an issue. It should be your goal to achieve the most points in the least amount of time.
  3. 3
    Complete missions
    • There will be several missions that pop up, granting points to the winning team. Even if you cannot do the harder ones, try to participate in easier ones such as "Kill one player with " to help your team.
    • If you are confident with the mission, you should try to complete it.

Method 5 of 5:

Defusal Mode

  1. 1
    Stick together
    • Especially in starting pistol rounds, it is best to provide support for your teammates. More guns means more angles covered and more bullets flying at your enemy.
  2. 2
    Play the objective
    • As a criminal, your mission would be to escort the bomb carrier, or plant it yourself, and then defend the bomb. After that, you can worry about fighting the enemy.
    • As a cop, your mission is to prevent the criminals from planting. You should protect bomb sites, and defuse if needed.
  3. 3
    Hold strategic locations and utilize terrain
    • In defusal, you do not respawn until the next round. Hold chokepoints or the high ground to deal damage to them while putting yourself at less risk of death.
    • Do not rush into a new area alone, as the enemy could be camping the location.
  4. 4
    Obtain better equipment
    • In the shop, you can buy things with the money earned each round. Body armour and a helmet usually come first, and then a firearm. You can pick from the grenades if you think it is worth the money.
    • Cops can buy defuser kits, which reduce the amount of time needed to defuse a bomb from 10 seconds to 5.
    • If you have excess money, buy your teammates grenades or defuser kits.
