Q&A for How to Become Better at First Person Shooter Video Games

Yes. They're generally CQB weapons that deal less damage per shot, but fire much faster at the cost of accuracy.

When you reach the best competitive rank in the game, start trying for competitions.

First you need to know when to do it. Don't drop shoot every time you see a foe. First use your prone key and hold it down. You need to do this very quickly, because if you don't, you could find yourself at the respawn screen in no time. Right before you drop down, aim up a little bit. When you're finally prone, aiming up before you dropped gave you an advantage since you don't need to aim up while in the prone state. And the last step is obvious, unleash a bullet storm. Do not spray though, since drop shooting shootouts last only about a second or less. Be accurate.

It depends on your preferences. Personally, as someone who has quick reflexes, I like to use more sensitivity than normal. If you're someone who mostly wants to snipe and face forward, I would recommend playing at a low FPS rate.

Every FPS game is different, and varies based on the platform you are playing on. For example, on PC, the default settings is usually right click to aim (sometimes switches to first person view of a scope) and left click to shoot (self-explanatory). There are usually tutorials online for the particular game you want to play, but the quickest option is just to look through your settings. You can usually even change the shooting controls to suit your preference if you want.

If the game you are playing has the option to add bots, try doing that and use them for target practice. It's easier to do this at lower bot difficulty.
