Gaming Terms to Know

Reload Cancel

An advanced technique where you interrupt the reload animation to fire sooner, saving valuable split-seconds in close combat.

Recoil

The backward movement of a weapon when fired. Higher recoil means your crosshair jumps more — controlling it through burst-fire or mouse pull-down is a key skill.

ADS

Aim Down Sights — zooming in through a weapon's sight or scope for more accurate shots, at the cost of slower movement speed.

Headshot

A shot that hits an enemy in the head, dealing critical damage or instant kill. Headshots reward accuracy and are tracked in multiplayer stats.
