Close-range fights decide most BGMI matches, especially in competitive lobbies. Winning these duels requires fast reactions, smart movement, and solid aim. This guide covers the most effective techniques to help you win every close-range fight with confidence.
Start by choosing the right weapons. For close range, guns like the UMP45, Vector, MP5K, M762, and DBS are the strongest choices. SMGs offer high fire rate and stability, while shotguns can finish fights instantly if used correctly. Keep your gun reloaded at all times since close fights leave no room for mistakes.
Next, master movement mechanics. Techniques like jump-shotting, jiggle peeking, and crouch-spamming reduce enemy accuracy. Jump shotting works best with shotguns, while jiggle peeking is great for SMGs and ARs. Avoid standing still while firing because it makes you an easy target.
Your sensitivity and crosshair placement matter the most. Keep your crosshair at chest or head level before entering any fight. High camera sensitivity (90–120) helps with fast tracking. If you use gyroscope, keep it between 250–300 for fast reactions and recoil control.
Cover is your best friend in close fights. Use walls, boxes, and ridges to break enemy aim. Peek, shoot, and return to cover quickly. This reduces damage taken and increases your chances of winning the duel.
Sound plays a crucial role. Listen carefully for footsteps and player movements. Sound cues help you prepare your aim before the enemy even enters your sightline.
Grenades are underrated but extremely effective. Use stun grenades to blind enemies before pushing. A well-timed stun guarantees an easy kill.
Practicing in TDM improves your reflexes and shooting confidence. Play 15–20 minutes daily with aim-focused drills, jump-shot practice, and recoil routines.
Most importantly, stay calm. Close-range fights are won by players who can control their movement and aim without panicking.
By using the right weapons, strong movement, good sensitivity, and smart positioning, you’ll start winning close-range fights consistently in BGMI.
