Like any hero shooter, Overwatch 2 rewards players with good aim, a focus on teamwork, and an awareness of the current meta. If you’ve played the previous game, your skills should transfer to the sequel. But if you haven’t, training maps are custom game modes that can help you improve your aim. These include targets, moving foes, as well as tanks that can be challenging to face. Here are our top aim training maps, their codes, and how to use them effectively.
Our best custom map codes for aim training
Aim training maps can help you improve your aim, especially against fast-moving targets that rely on mobility buffs. We’ve picked five aspects to train that will help you face all kinds of players. This includes regular headshots as well as dealing damage to nimble foes. Here are our best map codes to help you train:
- Basic aim training: VAXTA, CT04V
- Vertical aim training: 6CJXR1
- Advanced aim training: MHGGS
- Customised character aim training: MW3MH
- Aim Labs training: AA5QQ
Basic Aim Training: VAXTA, CT04V
If you’re just starting out or want a quick warm-up before competitive matches, rely on these maps. They will let you improve your ability to focus on unexpected foes and track moving targets, especially smaller characters. Bot movement and health can be adjusted as well, making it a good starting point.
Vertical Aim Training: 6CJXR1
If you want to take out pesky Echo, Genji, and Pharah mains, rely on this vertical training course. Use this code to train your aim against airborne targets. It’ll come in handy in all game modes, especially while protecting objectives. While you might not land headshots, getting damage in is better than whiffing your shots. You can put pressure on foes to retreat this way.
Advanced Aim Training: MHGGS
Head over to Junkertown if you want to focus on more advanced tactics like positioning against bots that fight back. You can even try to evade enemy abilities and sniper shots from foes like Hanzo and Widowmaker. It’ll also help you understand how many shots you’ll need to take down tanks like Winston. Shuffling between characters will give you a good understanding of how they function in combat scenarios.
Customised character aim training: MW3MH
If you want to focus on specific aspects of the game like shooting enemies or flying heroes, this is the trainer for you. It’s particularly helpful as Hanzo as you’ll have to make every shot count. You can also use this to improve your vertical aim. You can also refine your mouse sensitivity by practising against targets in the “Flick” mode to enhance your aiming skills.
Aim Labs training: AA5QQ
If you’ve tried Aim Labs for other shooter games, you’ll feel right at home here. You’ll be tasked with firing at orbs of custom sizes and speeds. This will let you get incredibly good at picking off targets from a distance. You can also change modes to options like Gridshot or a mode that exclusively focuses on strafing opponents. It’s particularly helpful with characters like Lucio whose attacks are a little different from regular FPS titles. And you can simply reposition yourself to make things more challenging.
