How to Counter Strafe in Valorant
Counter strafing in Valorant is all about stopping your movement quickly to get a more accurate shot. Simply put, if you're moving left (pressing A), you quickly tap the opposite direction (D) to stop. This makes your shots accurate almost instantly, instead of waiting for your character to slowly come to a halt. The trick is in the timing; tap the opposite key right before you shoot. It takes a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it, you'll notice your aim improve!

Just tap the opposite movement key, bro. If you're moving right with D, tap A before you shoot. Easy.
Counter strafing? Just stand still and shoot, works every time. Why make it complicated?
I've been playing Valorant since release, and mastering counter strafing changed my game. You have to be quick with your fingers; it's all about that instant stop to land a perfect headshot. Start in the practice range, get the feel for the timing between stopping and shooting, and you'll see the difference it makes in actual matches. Trust me, it's a game-changer.
