News - The Truth About The Dropshot & Why You Can't Win. Unfair Pc & Internet Advantage. Warzone 2 Mw3
Now they don't have to get rid of it all together, just Nerf it, so it's not nearly as effective as I think they ever will. I think they like that it lowers the skill gap, and it adds more of that randomness to the game now. Like I said before, the latency problem can cause you to get killed in regular fights as well, but at least when you're fighting on your feet, you're going to have movement and rotational aim assist pull if you're on controller, but with the drop shot, there isn't any kind of aim assist pull to help get your aim to the ground, at least not when somebody's crouching.
Now there is a way to slow down, and that can actually cause you to get stuck because you're going down, making it even slower to try to react. Now that brings me to that tip I told you about in the beginning of the article that you should be doing whenever somebody drop shot you all right, so what a lot of players do what I was doing whenever I was in a fight and someone pulled a drop shot on me is the instant I'm starting to see them go to the ground.
I take my right stick, jam it down as hard as possible, and then just pray I could get back on target before they killed me. It would always look something like this and would always feel really slow going from head level to the ground. At the time. I had no idea why it felt so slow, but after messing around in here after they gave us the ability to add plates a few months ago.
I realized it was actually the assist that was making it feel like that, and it was slowing me down, preventing me from getting my aim down fast enough. Now I'd seen this before on players that were strafing away from me, and sometimes the assist would keep me from catching up, and I would get stuck in their arms, and I couldn't get my crosshairs centered.
Now the same thing's happening with the drop shot. Whenever I'd start to bring my aim down, I'd hit that assist bubble, and it would slow me down enough to where I wasn't getting there in time. Now I'm trying to pull down even harder, and my aim's going all over the place. Now what I finally realized is that the solution is exactly the same as what I would do to catch up to the strafing players.
All you have to do is just release the left trigger for a split second while you're pulling down, then aim right back in, and it should throw your aim to the ground, pretty much perfectly landing on their head as long as you time it right. All you have to do is just go in and out with the left trigger, just enough to switch to hip fire for a few milliseconds.
Getting you through that initial assus bubble is the same thing if you're in a regular fight. Switching the hip fire for an instant will give you that little bit of speed burst whenever you're aimed in or you're strafing side to side. As we all know, aim assist is a lot stronger whenever you're aimed down.
Now you just have to get the timing down, and you could practice right here in the firing range since the targets now have both plates and aim assists. Just add three plates. Start firing at this first dummy here, and then just imagine if somebody drops shot you and you're trying to get your aim down as fast as possible to wherever their head would actually be.
Just keep firing the whole time while you're practicing going in and out with your aim, and then just keep practicing until you find that sweet spot that flicks your aim right to the feet. The hardest part of this whole thing is just to practice enough until you actually remember to use it in games now, with everything I was saying earlier about it being unfair.
If you really want to win against the drop shot, you're going to have to be pretty fast at getting your aim to the ground. Now, if you're on a budget PC with a high ping lobby and mediocre internet, you're still at a huge disadvantage. Don't get me wrong, but hopefully this helps a little now. One last thing: I'm not sure if this is in War Zone 2 yet or not once the new game takes over, but whenever you're drop-shooting somebody, if you pull your left stick back right before you start to drop, you're going to go from standing to prone faster than if you were just standing still.
Now this has been a thing since War Zone 2 was first released, but I know there's still a few people out there that didn't know that you could do this. I'll catch you next time, and if not, kick rocks. Peace; kick
