You must have derived from the title itself about the specific games that will be discussed in this article. The title represents the highest ranks of the most popular games played by countless gamers - “Conqueror” is the highest rank of BGMI, “Radiant” is the highest rank of Valorant, and “Global Elite” is the highest rank of CS:GO.

These games are currently the most collectively admired FPS games of 2021 and surely will be for many coming years.

BGMI gained popularity through PUBG Mobile and the rise in growth of the mobile gaming industry. Valorant surprised everyone with its unique concept of blending gunplay and agent abilities resulting in an amazing gameplay experience. CS:GO has always been a pillar when it comes to FPS games with its balanced and stable gameplay.

Although these games are enjoyed by many and have been available for quite some time, only a few have reached their highest respective ranks. Achieving these ranks is a mixture of emotions and can feel very similar to the analogy - “the good, the bad and the ugly”

This is due to the fact that many players lack the game sense that will assist them in pushing ranks competitively. The absence of rank game sense will be the reason for your rank demotion.

However different the games may be in style and concept but the core FPS game sense to play rank remains the same.

The basic idea of FPS games cannot be altered, you just have to learn the slightly complex technique of blending gunplay and gameplay for your benefit.

Here are the top 4 tips to improve your game sense to push your rank!

Progressive Positioning

Doing the same route and strategy each and every round is a great way to get yourself and your team killed. People are perceptive and can easily spot repetitive patterns. That is why it is important for you to change your position every round, even if you’re going to the same place every time. Even dropping in BGMI works the same. You cannot always drop at Pochinki or Dino Park for good loot, you will get killed 3 out of those 5 times.

Switching flank or entry routes or camping positions will confuse your enemy or make them more wary, never allowing them to get used to your playing style.

Check your Minimap

The minimap is a vital asset, yet a lot of players don’t even bother to look at it during rounds. Checking the minimap once every 20 seconds can give you awesome insight into the enemy’s positional tactics and strategy. If they shoot or cross your teammate’s line of sight, you will see it on the minimap and immediately know their position. You should always use that to your advantage.

Checking minimaps in BGMI gives you a clear idea of the blue safe zone and also on the frequent plane drops of the game. The minimaps of Valorant show you the smoked-out areas and other area utilities like Sage “Walls” and Killjoy “Lockdowns”.

Sound Setting

Sometimes in FPS games,  just keeping your ears open can prove to be a great advantage. Optimize your sound settings to completely mute round music, increase player movement volume, and use headphones! You should also learn to distinguish all sounds, whether it's footsteps, reloads, and so on. Listening closely can be a lifesaver!

The sound sense in BGMI can help you detect players in buildings or the position of a faraway sniper. The sound sense in Valorant can help you a bit further as all agents have a specific voice line for their abilities and ultimate.

Reload before Rushing

Pretty much everyone who has played FPS games has eventually entered a bombsite or enemy area with an empty weapon clip. It’s sad but it happens. Always pay close attention to your ammo state before going full Rambo.

If there is a spot where you know the enemy will be, reload your weapon beforehand. Ideally, do so while you’re still far away, so they won’t hear the reload. It can save your life, especially if you’re going for a flank or surprise.
