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.

Cover System

A mechanic where you take shelter behind objects (walls, crates, vehicles) to avoid enemy fire. You peek out to shoot and duck back to reload.

ADS

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

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.
