Surely more than once you have found yourself killed in a game and you don’t know where the shot came from. Well, most likely, your rival saw you before you saw him and without the need to cheat. We are going to explain three tricks to have an advantage in competitive online games.
Believe it or not, many users sacrifice graphic quality in game in favor of obtaining certain “advantages”. These adjustments are quite simple and will not take you more than five minutes. If you try them, you may start using them in all competitive online games.
Adjust screen brightness
There are many games in which the lighting changes between areas and, in some cases, we can detect that the image lacks clarity. This usually happens if your monitor has poor color coverage, come on, commercial monitors not focused on gaming. Although you can follow this simple trick that is really a classic.
What we must do is go to the screen menu and among the monitor adjustment options, we will see the brightness option . Here we are going to raise it to the top , until we reach 100. This allows us to increase the brightness in the darkest areas and thus see our surroundings better.
To say that this trick is designed for competitive games , where we care little about the graphic experience, what we want is to win. For games with a story, such as The Witcher, among others, we would not make this adjustment.
Thanks to this trick, those darker areas will become better lit. This allows us to see the enemies that are hidden in these darker spots and that we have been able to miss. Note that many campers often take advantage of these darker spots to camouflage themselves and gain an advantage. With this trick, you significantly reduce their advantage.
Reduce graphic quality
This is another fairly typical trick that can give us quite a competitive advantage against enemies. Not only will we get a higher frame rate , we will also get a tactical advantage by not loading certain elements.
Games like Fortnite or Valorant have a lot of elements in the environment that need to be rendered . This process has a high computational cost and causes us to have a reduction in FPS in game. You know by now that the higher the FPS, the better the accuracy can be. By reducing the quality of the environment elements to the maximum , we will have more FPS .
Also, in some games they can give us a huge advantage over the enemy . In PUBG – style games , lowering the graphic quality means that grass and other vegetation will not load . If there is an enemy hidden in a thicket or in tall grass, he will not care, we will see him with great ease.
As you can see, reducing the graphic quality does not give us an advantage, it gives us two. So, try it, and you will tell us how it is.
Reduce resolution and aspect ratio
This is another “old school” trick, especially in games like Counter Strike. There are games where changing both resolution and aspect ratio can give you a huge advantage. There is a reason for this and that is that the avatar within the game can increase its size.
You may have heard of this trick, mostly because it is used by professional CS:GO players . This game is one of those that benefit the most from this simple trick. The thing about the characters in this game is that they “get fat” and therefore it’s easier to hit.
It does not happen in all games, but it is usually quite common. The reason is that the closer the aspect ratio is to a square, the larger the size of the character. One would think that it should actually be smaller, but it has just the opposite effect.
