We all have been there, just a few more damage and the enemy is down. But he reloads first and it’s a dead end for us. But I just found a really cool trick that you guys must use at times like those. So the main tip is –
:- When you reload, after pressing the reload command, you must walk backwards, then hit jump and then crouch. So it’s R followed by S followed by space followed by c/ctrl. You can see the legend will slide backwards. This is a huge advantage in 1v1 situations and 1 vs 3 situation.
—————————————————————————
Another mistake players make is moving forward while shooting. This actually decreases your accuracy and if the opponent is standing still, it will give him a better chance of winning. Instead , move backwards in a zig zag motion. This will not only stun the opponents aim, but also might help you to find some cover.
