Best CS2 aim training maps

Even the best would fall behind the competition without proper training.

Many skills can help you get ahead in CS2, but none are as important as aim. Training your aim is a constant and continuous process and it develops with each match.

However, you can speed up the process with aim training maps, and we’ve picked out a few will get you the best results as quickly as possible.

Best CS2 aim training workshop maps

Before you move into running and gunning down your targets, you should make sure you have your optimal crosshair setup. Crashz’s Crosshair Generator is the perfect tool for this, giving you an easy to use menu for creating a crosshair.

This workshop “map” lets you view what your crosshair looks like against different map backdrops and lets you customize the length, thickness, gap, outline, opacity, and color of your crosshair. You can even pick one of several pro player crosshairs to use as is or to use as a baseline for your custom crosshair. There’s also a practice area against moving targets against any map backdrop.

Once it’s done, you can hit save and exit to keep your crosshair and save the code to have on hand for the future.

Fast Warmup – Bot Training

When you first load into Fast Warmup, it doesn’t look like much. But a little bit of exploring shows that there’s plenty to take advantage of:

  • To start an aim training exercise with bots spawning at various spots around you, go left and down into the grass and kill the bot hiding there. There are settings and different weapons behind you.
  • Shoot the Target grafitti to launch an Aim Labs-like target practice scenario.
  • Go behind where you spawn in to go to a large range with customizable bots. You can change their number, distance, and movement to suit your practice needs.
  • Next to that, there’s an AWP Flick challenge for practicing your quick sniper shots.
  • There’s even a crouch jump movement challenge that takes you around the entire map.

There’s a little bit of everything in this workshop mod that’s perfect for aim training in CS2.

Aim Botz

Aim Botz is a classic aim-training map that’s made its grand return to CS2 and was a favorite of CS:GO players for years.

This gigantic aim stage features countless different bots and comes with a good variety of options. Taking the Aim Botz challenge can become a vital part of your warmup routine, and the menu features a number of different variables: random bot movement, uneven ground, headshot only, and sprayable walls.

These are our go-to suggestions for CS2 aim training maps, but there’s an entire Workshop for you to explore on your own if you want to find the perfect one for you.

CSStats Training Map (formerly CSGOHUB)

CSStats is equally basic and complex, as it offers you a straightforward way to train your aim with various different modes and all the weapons you can think of. From standing still to rushing to shuffling and strafing, the bots can do it all. The map also supports headshots only and armored and unarmored bots, which is more or less standard procedure with these kinds of maps.

Where CSStats shines especially, however, is its offering of a website that tracks your progress in ranked matchmaking, including Faceit and ESEA servers. It is similar to other platforms of this type, such as Leetify, and can provide you with valuable insight into your own gameplay and highlight the areas that need improving. It also lets you know when a cheater you encountered gets banned, which is always satisfying to see.

DC Aim and Movement Training

Bots shuffling about and moving a bit to throw your aim off are all fun and games. However, sometimes you might need something more realistic and closer to an actual match, which is where DC Aim and Movement Training comes in. The map spawns bots in various scenarios that will move and peek and do all sorts of stuff that resembles situations from actual games, helping you grow accustomed to the movement of genuine players.

While the map isn’t too spectacular and doesn’t have all too much going on in it, it’s a useful resource which should be considered by any aim training player out there, including you.

Lmtlss’ Prefire Maps

While having the ability to flick to your enemy’s head and click it in a matter of milliseconds is great, placing your crosshair at the right spot before even engaging the opponent is just as important. Thankfully, creator lmtlss created a ton of prefire training maps which will help you learn the most important prefire spots on maps currently in rotation, thus removing the need for nervous and sporadic aiming.

I wholeheartedly suggest you learn these maps and spots as best you can, as entering a room, anticipating the enemy’s position, and being ready for it is far better than waltzing in guns blazing and having no idea where to aim. No amount of aim training on the maps above can compensate for the lack of proper trigger discipline and crosshair placement, so make sure you study them thoroughly.

Why confine yourself to a “training” vacuum when you can put your hard-learned aiming skills to the test in actual combat? Whether with a friend or with randoms on the dozens of different aim_map servers out there, it will do you wonders to play a few matches of this decades-old and timeless classic before you venture into matchmaking proper.

Aim_map will put all of your skills to the test, including crosshair placement, trigger discipline, and, of course, raw aiming and flicking. It’s also great for testing out your sensitivity since enemies can peek from basically anywhere, which allows you to really understand the sensitivity your playstyle requires.
