The Best Training To Improve Your Aim In Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege

The extremely fast time to kill makes landing your shots quickly and accurately vitally important to the success of your team. The ability to successfully hold positions, or aggress to take and win fights can single-handedly carry your team to victory or, at the very least, minimize your round losses.

Consistently aiming at a high level typically takes hundreds or even thousands of hours of dedicated grinding in your game of choice. Rainbow Six Siege in particular has a large amount of downtime where you aren’t actively aiming and firing at enemy players which slows down the development of your aiming skills.

Aim training in KovaaK’s has revolutionized the skill-curve in FPS games. The hyper-focused training environments allow players to greatly accelerate their improvements, creating aim gods in weeks, not years.

How to Get Better at Rainbow Six Siege

Rainbow Six Siege is a deeply complex game, rich in strategy and teamwork. These elements are essential to success, but you still need accurate and consistent aim to execute and bring everything together.

Aiming in Rainbow Six Siege is unique compared to other popular FPS titles like Fortnite, Apex Legends and Counter Strike: Global Offensive. The fast time to kill and the positional, angle-oriented gameplay has similarities to CS:GO but with key differences in scoping, leaning, ability usage and map design.

Improving your gameplay comes down to constant iterations on your mistakes, learning from every failure and every success to build yourself a mental playbook of optimal decisions.

In regards to aim, this game demands a specific skill set that is primarily focused on crosshair placement and flick shots.

Flicks Practice Makes Perfect

When it comes to raw aim in Rainbow Six Siege, your flicks need to be swift and accurate. For more information on what a flick is and how to perform it, check out our blog here.

Your typical encounter will involve relatively short ranged flicks. A great way to practice these is to play “1wall2targets_smallflicks 60s”, “pattargetswitch” and “1wall6targets small” in KovaaK’s. These scenarios do a great job of emulating the aiming requirements of Rainbow Six Siege.

The Importance of Crosshair Placement In R6S

Crosshair placement is absolutely essential to consistent aim. The next best thing to incredible aim is not having to aim at all. Always be aware of where an enemy player is most likely to be and keep your crosshair trained on these angles. Looking at the ground, walls, teammates and any other dead spaces can lead to awkward situations where you have to perform large off-angle flicks just to reach your target. With the extremely fast time to kill and the difficulty of these flicks, your chances of winning the fight are dramatically reduced.

This technique likely feels the most natural when defending and holding angles, but it is also vital to playing on offense. Everywhere you move, your crosshair needs to be trained on angles that could reveal enemy players. Walking into a room with your crosshair facing empty space is asking for trouble. Try to always have a plan of what positions you will check and do this as quickly as possible. Any delays or sloppy crosshair placement can lead to an easy death that round.

Choosing the Right Mouse Sensitivity

Your mouse sensitivity is the single-most noticeable variable you can configure to alter your aim. While there is no one-size-fits-all perfect sensitivity, professional FPS players have typically settled on a range between 20-60 cm/360. To learn more about cm/360 and mouse sensitivity check out our blog on the topic here.

Below is a list of the sensitivities used by some top level players to provide an example of what settings are most suitable:

Directly copying a pro player’s settings won’t magically make you aim like them, but it is a good idea to find what works for you within a relatively similar range. There will always be outliers so if you play best on something that is unusual that is totally fine.

Guns and Weaponry

Weapons and operators in Rainbow Six Siege are subject to balance changes and to personal preferences. Instead of recommending weapons we will instead cover how to choose a weapon that best suits you.

Weapons come with different different stats that will change how the weapon handles and how fast it can take down opponents.

Damage – The damage each bullet deals.
Damage (Suppressed) – Suppressed weapons deal slightly less damage than their non-suppressed counterparts.
Rate of Fire – The rounds per minute fired by the weapon.
Magazine Size – The number of bullets in a magazine.
Mobility – This stat actually does nothing!

The most desirable weapons are typically those with the fastest time to kill. This is not always the case though, as seen with weapons that have great damage but high recoil. If you are missing shots because of the recoil, that fast time to kill is being wasted. Finding a weapon that you can control will lead to optimal performances.

If you pursue and engage in regular aim training and improve your skills, more difficult weapons with higher recoil but better TTK may become more accessible to you, giving you an edge over the competition.
