Thank you for watching! I hope this can help some of you. Side note, timing is perfect. They are setting up internet right now. Still have a ton to do with the house, but getting back to regular content asap.
I’m just getting back into destiny and I’ve notice that I panic a lot in 1v1 situations and miss my shots. I’ll try and relax a bit more. Thanks for the tips Austin !
Nice video! On getting relaxed- I would recommend people play comp to put them in stressful situations so when in trials they have already felt the jitters. One time recently I 1v3’d a team and won. The next two rounds I was still feeling the buzz and was not playing good. Also- controller - i feel like I over move my sticks…and end up missing shots…how do you move the sticks….a video showing the controller inputs would be great
You're the best CoolGuy! You're always my go to for pvp tips. You taught me how to run middle tree arcstrider with shinobu's. Now, it's my favorite loadout in pvp. Btw Cloudstrike is my favorite exotic sniper as well 😁 definitely my favorite destiny youtuber, other than lore daddy (byf) n ya boi Aztecross. Love everything you do CoolGuy, never stop doing what you love! THASPEEDDEM0N Here's my gamertag on xbox. If you want.
@@marcusarelius4170 Drift, high sens, tbh it really isn't that smooth, we've only got our thumbs whilst PC has their entire wrist and sometimes arm (this isn't a complaint btw)
That actually explains a lot. I struggle with anxiety and PVP can be frustrating and I think you pinned down why... too often I’m stressed and not letting myself relax in PVP like I do in PVE content.
Definitely. I think this video inadvertently helps highlight why so man players sweating makes it tough for people too. Not to say it's some kind of evil thing that they engage in, but when players KNOW they're coming up against really good players they probably get nervous about getting dominated AND of course having people teabag and/or emote and what not. Not saying that this happens for majority of people, but probably a good amount of the community. I'm like CoolGuy, I often have to just remind myself to relax and then it becomes a seamless transition into fast, efficient, and deliberate aim and gameplay. You'll get better at it. Guarantee, just always remember it's only a game and you very literally get to come back and try over and over without consequence.
@@Julian-rt9qsUnderated comment. I often rage at games because I so desperately want to do well, but like you said, "It's just a game." I really need to stop putting so much pressure on myself when I play.
Watching your video here has reminded me of a saying taught to me when I was playing guitar and learning to play fast. Slow is Smooth Smooth is Fast I've come to realise that it applies to many things in life too.
With D2 being the first FPS I have gotten into, let alone PvP, I get frustrated when I lose a lot of 1v1 I feel I could have won or miss over half of my Ace clip. Everything you said in the video is true, nail on the head. I end up feeling tense and eager to just go in without thought…and I end up dying again. Gonna try to remember these steps next time. Thanks CoolGuy 🤘🏼
Since I took a break and came back, I haven't been relaxed at all in pvp and it shows. I also went through a phase of playing with music, even trials and it helped a ton. Also if you're playing with rumbles still on, switch them off, it's literally a stress mechanic having rumbles on. It takes a bit of getting used to but it's soooo worth it if you're trying to improve your game.
When I was doing medic training in the Navy, something that the instructors would constantly say is "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" and it always stuck with me even in other aspects of life. Playing a lot of different types of FPS, I've noticed the same way you do, when all that kovaaks muscle memory kicks in you start to feel the moment you out maneuver your opponent and you can sense the moment they start to falter. It's like a state of flow
Straight up giving advice on how to enter the ZONE. No joke I've had this happen before for an entire match and destroyed the opponents who had multiple unbroken players (I've never hit legend but then I don't take survival seriously). Now I know the conditions to enter the ZONE xD
Short term flow state. To go from an overstimulated state to a calm one, and then applying all that brainpower that was firing off wildly on a single target. That's when you get the slow motion effect focus. When stressed, often times the opposite happens, a "Zone" effect. Your brain is expecting a specific outcome youve planned, and to get the stress over with, your brain accelerates time through it's expectation. This is when you get the situations where you didn't sprint long enough for a charge, your shotgun felt like it wasn't ready on time("jams"), a shot you think should've landed but didn't, you peeked without being fully healed when you were sure enough time passed. You got caught in the zone effect and what you thought happened didn't. It was just what you wanted to happen and it "played out" in front of your eyes. Remember to stay calm.
Great info. I know what you're saying about being relaxed. When I'm trying to get more kills for a bounty or something I play worse and have more jerking movements during aiming. Also, I think if someone dislikes a video mine this they should have to give a reason. It's literally just information to help but there are always dislikes on videos like this. Makes no sense to me.
Yo you know what. I was experiencing this problem yesterday. This video came out at the right time. My friends and I were just talking about this. I have a problem with getting tense in a 3v3 environment, and talked about it with my friends because I mentioned it to them I was getting tense. I’m super glad this video came out man.
This is absolutely true! I remember one of the best games I had was an iron banner match where Bob Marley came on the playlist “everything is going to be alright” and I stopped stressing and tensing my shoulders. All of a sudden I couldn’t miss and I was thinking three moves ahead. I absolutely do better when I can learn to relax. I miss these advice videos of yours. Hope you’ll have more in the future. Thank you. 🤟🏻
The thing is: this method always worked for me when playing Halo, every gunfight I can already tell (mostly) who'll come out victorious, I feel the flow of every bullet being shot. In Destiny however I can be as relaxed and smooth as I want but that'll never change the fact that someone with a super/OHKO ability/shotgun would eventually come up and destroy me. Half of the time it's relatively unpredictable, mainly because of 6v6 in small maps too. The amount of free kills this game gives to anybody just demoralises me so, SO much
Thanks, this sounds like a good idea for me to try before picking up the paint brush, some days I feel tight and rigid in my arm. I look forward to trying something like this out next week!
yeah this is an awesome tip. For me, I take a few deep breaths and exhale as I focus. that motion helps me relax and really allows me to make some nutty plays. I'm slowly becoming a slug/bow main, and it's really important to maintain that state to play with such a build.
great video CoolGuy, getting yourself to relax is HUGE. I've been playing FPS's since HaloCE and I still have to remind myself to stop strangling my controller. Congrats on the new house and dog! Exciting stuff :)
I was just thinking about this subject this morning when going over my gameplay last night. The importance of relaxing and slowing down is underrated. Great timing of this video release.
Great advice. The competitive side of me tends to be amped up and primal in how aggressive I get when I play. I have to play A LOT to be relaxed when I play pvp. Now that you mentioned this I’ll think about it more when I do get a chance to play.
I know this is probably too late for you to read it, but my KD was dropping, and I was getting stressed. I 100% solo queue, so no one to blame but me. I Saw this video, realised you were talking about me. So, I relaxed, I got smooth, I got accurate, I got fast and in the last two days, my KD has climbed to new heights and i got 3 we rans. Thanks Dude, great content as always
“You must relax. I’m not going to tell you what to do. For me it’s mental. I just tell myself to relax.” Coolguy’s business advice “come up with a great business idea. I’m not going to tell you how to do that. For me, I just come up with great business ideas.”
There's a particular point where I'm having enough fun and already feeling good enough about my skill that I have complete confidence that I can win every engagement, and once I reach that level I play so much better. That particular state is basically the barrier for me between regular 1-2 KD games and 3-4+ KD games. I don't need it to play well, but it makes me so much better.
Lately I've noticed my aim feels better and I'm doing better than expected when I crucible. Thinking about it recently I chalked it up to: 1.) Not caring or getting worked up (Used to be a guy who cursed, hoot and hollered, ha, ha) which is keeping me relaxed. 2.) Disengaging early or just not taking fights i can't win. I struggled with that D1 and a chunk of D2 but now I've learned to be much more of a slippery little rat. :D
I can definitely get into that flow way easier on PC for FPS games for some reason but play D2 primarily on PS5. I often feel my brain working faster than my hands or getting frustrated at what feels like the controller letting me down. Also some days you can just be off. Don't be hard on yourself.
This is why I rush to watch your videos amongst so many content creators. I feel like others just do it for the sake of content, but you on the other hand do it cause you care.
I’ve always struggled with relaxing while playing, I put about 3k hours on destiny (on steam) and while I strictly only play m&k ive tried to relax but I’ve always found myself being tense no matter what, I’ve tried telling myself to calm down but it doesn’t work for me some people suggested listen to music in the background not enough to distract you but to relax to and I found even with a tiny bit of music playing it breaks my focus, I feel stuck
every time I tell myself to relax, I get tag teamed by grenade launchers so yeah :D seriously though, good tip that applies to p. much everything in life.
Whenever I try to enjoy Crucible, I get aped by shotgunners, teamshotted by 120s and/or "movement skill gapped" by top tree dawns. There are bigger issues. :)
Another thing to note that you can’t really reload cancel in d2. As soon as you reload there is a timer that starts that is as long as your reload. You cannot shoot until this timer is done so you need to plan your reloads accordingly.
something I am doing is switching to toggle ads to remove some of that tension in my aim. I feel my aim get worse and worse the longer I play and I think this is why.
Nearly 1600 hundred hours in crucible and I'm starting to be able to put myself into flow state and recently reteaching myself sniping for trials this is a big help...
YES this is what I tell people all the time to relax yourself and you'll get batter my brother has anger issues and when he plays when he starts losing i tell him to relax even take a brake between matches
people need aiming tips? here the easiest thing. not everyone is the same. if you cant hit shots lower sensitivity by 1 and try again. also judge after you warmed up. 1st game will always be off. keeping your house warm is easier too. humans move slower in the cold.
I think part of the reason why i've gotten worse at games is because I got a bigger TV. Got a huge 4k TV because I like watching movies/netflix but I game on it too and I feel like I always struggle in my ability to aim. My thought process is still the same though (saved a team mate in a Halo game because I accurately predicted an opponent rushing with a ghost and then fired out an EMP grenade round to the approximate location I thought the ghost would be) but games like Destiny really rely on reaction time 50% of the time. I will try everything you've said though. It never occurred to me that I may not be relaxed.
I have to stretch my back and literally shake out my hands and arms between super sweaty matches or I just get more and more tense. Like gritting my teeth tense. I miss the counterstrike days when it was all chill no matter what happened. D2 just gets super intense sometimes, but it's high risk/high reward for that sweet sweet dopamine.
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast is a saying you hear quite a lot in APEX and overwatch. Too many first-time fps players try to jump all the way to fast flicky aiming
funny that i just realized this is what im missing in my solo pve content whenever i go for solo flawless dungeons or strikes i tense up too much and botch the attempt just recently tried again with a slightly diff mindset and can notice the difference glhf cg
I’m not normally a fan of the “this one tip will make you a pro” type thing but I can personally confirm that this tip really does feel like it makes you immediately better at the game.
Being relaxed in ANY case where you've gotta perform helps immensely. I don't remember exactly when it happened but the first session of PVP in a game (likely a CoD from way back) where i was able to relax even under pressure i started to dominate. Not every single game, but I definitely went from a 16-22 kills/ 1.4KD to a 20-32kills / 2.0 KD player. Generally speaking. It just helps so fuckin much because you focus on what YOU have to do, because you're not dead you're dead. It's obvious but consider how often we watch these high-skill players win gunfights but still take near fatal damage. That's often the difference in good to great. Just a few HP, dig me?
Yeah, you tell me how I'm supposed to keep track of Icarus Dashing Warlocks every 5 seconds with massive acceleration with sliding, 360 degrees turning MnK crackpots. It's just too much, man. I frequently miss console Destiny 2 PvP. It's 30 fps but goddamn at least I could keep track of people.
There was a kid that I was teaching to aim using this type of method and he used to be like Elmer Fudd with an Auto Rifle and now he's hitting things in the head with snipers in this and/or other games.
I don't really play D2 pvp anymore, cause cheaters and DMT 🤷♂️ But I still play fps games. I (and I know I'm not alone here) Deal with anxiety. Yes, anxiety in intense moments. It can be anything from doing a 1 vs 3 in trials to doing a jumping puzzle during a flawless raid attempt. I keep a rubber band on my arm and if I feel that I'm getting anxious, I'll flick the rubber band on my arm and it brings me back to normalcy. Reminds me to calm tf down. Works like a charm. I've gone through hundreds of rubberbands lol.
This is called the flow state, and thats just your trigger, mines a deep breath that makes every hair on my body stand up, years of playing fps games and i can now activate it at will, as long as ive smoked a little weed 😂 But ive met people who dont get goosebumps and they just say they relax every muscle and let themselves feel like theyre floating and all sorts of tricks but theyre all under the same umbrella term "flow state" and i think everyones is different, the problem is just finding it.
CoolGuy: "Relax, breathe, any small erratic movements in your fingers or wrists will throw off your aim" Other Destinytubers: "Buy this GAMER-FUEL and twitch uncontrollably for hours"
I enjoy PvE more then pvp. I been trying everyday to get better on pvp my aim is ass. I can't aim cuz they move around to much that my hands shakes. I tried to calm down but I just can't do it. Even on controller. Sometimes I think I'm never gonna get good. Especially sweats getting every shot then me

This is so true. I get freaked out alot when I play trials on the weekends, but if I'm playing survival or iron banner I'm relaxed.

You need to try Chroma Rush with Getaway Artist on bottom tree storm caller, it's so much fun and effective
I can definitely get into that flow way easier on PC for FPS games for some reason but play D2 primarily on PS5.
I often feel my brain working faster than my hands or getting frustrated at what feels like the controller letting me down.
Also some days you can just be off. Don't be hard on yourself.
Here's a good one to practice before you play... and maybe after too if the winstreak is just that solid:
F - Focus
A - Accuracy
P - Precision

My thought process is still the same though (saved a team mate in a Halo game because I accurately predicted an opponent rushing with a ghost and then fired out an EMP grenade round to the approximate location I thought the ghost would be) but games like Destiny really rely on reaction time 50% of the time.
I will try everything you've said though. It never occurred to me that I may not be relaxed.
Can I just say your thumbnails are really eye-catching.
Thank you
I have to stretch my back and literally shake out my hands and arms between super sweaty matches or I just get more and more tense. Like gritting my teeth tense. I miss the counterstrike days when it was all chill no matter what happened. D2 just gets super intense sometimes, but it's high risk/high reward for that sweet sweet dopamine.
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast is a saying you hear quite a lot in APEX and overwatch. Too many first-time fps players try to jump all the way to fast flicky aiming
Nice tips ty!
funny that i just realized this is what im missing in my solo pve content whenever i go for solo flawless dungeons or strikes i tense up too much and botch the attempt just recently tried again with a slightly diff mindset and can notice the difference

Veary good tips for new players
I use this when I train people on lift equipment
Makes sense. With all the problems I have I won’t ever feel relaxed. lol *Sadge*
I think there is a saying from the SEAL teams: Slow is smooth and smooth is fast!
I’m not normally a fan of the “this one tip will make you a pro” type thing but I can personally confirm that this tip really does feel like it makes you immediately better at the game.
Being relaxed in ANY case where you've gotta perform helps immensely. I don't remember exactly when it happened but the first session of PVP in a game (likely a CoD from way back) where i was able to relax even under pressure i started to dominate. Not every single game, but I definitely went from a 16-22 kills/ 1.4KD to a 20-32kills / 2.0 KD player. Generally speaking.
It just helps so fuckin much because you focus on what YOU have to do, because you're not dead you're dead. It's obvious but consider how often we watch these high-skill players win gunfights but still take near fatal damage. That's often the difference in good to great. Just a few HP, dig me?
Yeah, you tell me how I'm supposed to keep track of Icarus Dashing Warlocks every 5 seconds with massive acceleration with sliding, 360 degrees turning MnK crackpots. It's just too much, man. I frequently miss console Destiny 2 PvP. It's 30 fps but goddamn at least I could keep track of people.
There was a kid that I was teaching to aim using this type of method and he used to be like Elmer Fudd with an Auto Rifle and now he's hitting things in the head with snipers in this and/or other games.
He’s the cool guy with the iceman nerves. Good tips.
I don't really play D2 pvp anymore, cause cheaters and DMT 🤷♂️
But I still play fps games.
I (and I know I'm not alone here) Deal with anxiety. Yes, anxiety in intense moments.
It can be anything from doing a 1 vs 3 in trials to doing a jumping puzzle during a flawless raid attempt.
I keep a rubber band on my arm and if I feel that I'm getting anxious, I'll flick the rubber band on my arm and it brings me back to normalcy. Reminds me to calm tf down. Works like a charm.
I've gone through hundreds of rubberbands lol.
From the movie Shooter: “slow is smooth, smooth is fast.”
This is called the flow state, and thats just your trigger, mines a deep breath that makes every hair on my body stand up, years of playing fps games and i can now activate it at will, as long as ive smoked a little weed 😂
But ive met people who dont get goosebumps and they just say they relax every muscle and let themselves feel like theyre floating and all sorts of tricks but theyre all under the same umbrella term "flow state" and i think everyones is different, the problem is just finding it.
CoolGuy: "Relax, breathe, any small erratic movements in your fingers or wrists will throw off your aim"
Other Destinytubers: "Buy this GAMER-FUEL and twitch uncontrollably for hours"
Facts. I can snipe my buddies easy when playing them, but put me in a lobby of strangers and I clam up. Get nervous and whiff shots.
CoolGuy s Ultra Instinct...
It's all in the hips
I enjoy PvE more then pvp. I been trying everyday to get better on pvp my aim is ass. I can't aim cuz they move around to much that my hands shakes. I tried to calm down but I just can't do it. Even on controller. Sometimes I think I'm never gonna get good. Especially sweats getting every shot then me
gave us the bruce lee philosophy at the beginning 👁👁
I would shout you out in a heart beat if I was popular at RUclips you my guy make the best tips what takes of training can now be done in days if you pay attention enough

I just wish the flinch in game didn’t make me flinch in real life
Cool gay can you tell me what sens do you play and if you play with traction?
Kinda feel like Cool Guy told me the secret to be better is just master Ultra Instinct.
This feels like how to enter ultra instinct
I’m annoyed that this started to work for me within minutes. Thanks for the tip.
