Step 2: learn where weapons spawn on the maps you like to play.
Aiming will be easier and you'll gain confidence in your weapon skill.
This is the first step, psychological training. , When you have good confidence at sensitivity 3, you can either move up to 4, or stay and hone your skills at
3. ,, Strafing is important because it reduces your chances of getting hit from ranged attacks (as in, other riflemen or snipers).
Also if you're careful and control your strafing well, it can actually increase your accuracy.
When up against a person with good sniper skills, strafing won't help too much (they probably know how to counter it) at this point.
It's a good idea to find a hiding place that has multiple sides to attack from.
Pop out quickly and lure them to camp at one side, then go to another side and scope em.
This will knock them out of the scope.
Next, proceed to strafe while shooting them and they won't have a way to react quickly enough to live.
If they found cover, try to lob a grenade there.
