The Importance of Aim
Aim is a key factor in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Some would even argue that it is the most important aspect of a player's game. For those who want to improve their aim, I have a solution: aim training! Aim training is the act of practicing all aspects of one’s aim, such as: crosshair placement, flicking, and spray control. These factors (and more) can all be practiced and mastered by playing the right aim maps…
10. Crashz’s Crosshair Generator v3
Before doing any aim training, you will need an ideal crosshair–one that is comfortable and well-fitting. Crashz’s Crosshair Generator v3 is the ideal map for finding and tweaking crosshairs, as it has all of the commands built into the map, along with a small aiming area that allows testing.
An important aspect of a player's aim is their crosshair, as it will make aspects of their game shine! A good crosshair will allow the best aspects of a player to shine, and the weaker parts of their aim style to grow. This map is ideal for finding what the best crosshair is the best, and will only supplement a player's game.
Why Crashz’s Crosshair Generator v3 is Great for Aim Training
- Tons of crosshairs to choose from
- Small aim course to allow testing
- Commands for tweaking crosshair in every way
9. training_aim_csgo2
A big part of aiming is flicking, and this map is the best one for that! The map allows for use of all separate weapons, and it even has various modes to choose from pertaining to all levels of skill.
Training aim has four separate levels, all at different heights and distances from the targets. This allows the player to improve their muscle memory from different angles. Flicking is imperative if you want to have snappy aim, and is huge for anyone wanting to snap onto heads and make an impact in rounds.

Recoil master is exactly what it sounds like, a map that permits one to master their spray and get to know the recoil of all the guns. The map allows for adjustment of the target from multiple ranges, and it comes with a built-in spray map for each weapon.
This map is the perfect tool for anyone trying to master the spray of all the most important weapons. With the addition of the spray map, these training wheels can help every level of player learn the spray of the guns, and master them with enough practice.
Why Recoil Master - Spray Training is Great for Aim Training

7. FAST AIM / REFLEX TRAINING
A big part of aiming is tracking, and a huge part of Counter-Strike is movement. Tracking is the act of following a target with your crosshair, and it is an incredibly hard skill to master. This map is a necessity for anyone trying to improve their tracking, as it has enemies moving around the map in different directions.
With proper time put into this map, it will adequately improve your tracking. Being placed on the center platform, this map will also improve reflexes, as you will be spinning in all different directions in order to hit your targets.
Why FAST AIM / REFLEX TRAINING is Great for Aim Training
- Bot movement is diverse
- Player placement forces mouse movement
- Boxes obstruct the enemies body for headshot incentive

The aiming mode comes in a range of difficulties and sizes for both vertical and horizontal flicks.
This map is a good place for all types of training but is not the best for any of them (just being honest…). This is a solid map for both flick training and spray control training, and is a great starting map for anyone needing to work on their aim basics.
