[h2]Our VALORANT Combine Tasks: Now in Core Aim Lab![/h2]

You spoke, and we heard you.

The Aim Lab x VALORANT Combine was our most popular event ever, with over 4.3 million task plays. What’s an Aim Lab to do after the event is over? That’s obvious: bring those tasks into core Aim Lab.

That’s right – you can continue your VALORANT training with the tasks used in the Combine being found in the “Game Specific” section, alongside our other partners. They can also now be added to playlists and any of your other routines!


[h3]Quality of Life changes[/h3]

• Updated Playlists to automatically subscribe and download Creator Studio tasks before starting, if you don’t have them installed already
  
• Increased the maximum fire rate for Custom Weapons from 0.05 (20 shots per second) to 0.01 (100 shots per second)
  
• Added an autosubscribe measure to tasks containing Custom Weapons to ensure that you always have the most up to date version of the tasks weapon
  
• Updated some task descriptions to more clearly articulate the contents of the task
  

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed being able to start a Playlist with tasks or scenarios missing
  
• Fixed an issue affecting the visual quality of some task icons
  

(UPDATE: All contests and sweepstakes have ended as of 1pm EST, May 5th, but we’re extending all other aspects of the event for another week, meaning you can play the tasks and get your Player Card until May 12th at 1pm EST! This announcement has been edited to remove or update any references to the giveaways.)

As part of our official partnership with the VALORANT NA Challenger series, we’re stoked to announce the first Aim Lab Combine for VALORANT players! We’re doing a whole lot of new stuff for and during the event:

• 
  Test your fundamental VALORANT skills
  
• 
  See how you stack up against friends and pros
  
• 
  Get a unique Player Card
  
• 
  Link your Riot Games account on the web to start importing your VALORANT stats
  

Let’s break it all down.

Test (and Train) Your Skills
This Combine is our first step on the journey to bring you unique ways to improve your VALORANT performance.

To do that, we’ve created six tasks that’ll help you both understand where you rank against thousands of other players in fundamental measurements (accuracy, speed, reaction time, and tracking), and help teach (or reinforce) the basics of skills like wallpeeking and entry-fragging a site.

The six tasks are:

• VCT Combine Headshot - test your ability to keep your cursor at headshot level as you flick from target to target.
  
• VCT Combine Microflex - test your ability to make small aim corrections.
  
• VCT Combine Tracking - keep your cursor on a moving target
  
• VCT Combine Trigger Control - measure your reaction time and ability to distinguish friend and foe
  
• VCT Combine Wallpeak - destroy bots (they shoot back!) while peeking from behind a wall
  
• VCT Combine Haven C-site Entry - practice clearing a site without overexposing yourself to common defensive positions
  

Show us what you got, and then, afterwards ...

See How You Stack Up
You can secure bragging rights during the Combine in two ways.

The first is the usual assortment of task-specific leaderboards and an overall leaderboard for cumulative scores.

More importantly, you can create a unique Player Card with your preferred agent, and share it on Twitter to show us how you did.

The Player Card will contain your fundamental measurements from the six tasks (accuracy, speed, reaction time, and tracking ability), along with percentiles for each measurement and your average task score. We’ll update your Player Card each time you improve your performance in a task.


Player Profiles (beta) and VALORANT Stats (coming soon)
If that isn’t enough new, exciting stuff, we’re launching new features on the web as well! There’s a totally new aimlab.gg/profile section where you can see your task history, scores/metrics, and track your improvement.

And in the very near future, we’re also going to launch the ability to link your Riot Games account. What does that mean? It means we’ll be able to start importing your VALORANT match history and analyzing your in-game performance, in order to answer two very fundamental questions:

1. 
   Is your Aim Lab training paying off in-game?
   
2. 
   What tasks should you focus on based off your in-game performance?
   

This is our first foray into game-specific data, and we’ll be bringing you unique stats, and some new stat splits/breakdowns to help identify precisely where there’s room for improvement.

Bear with us as we work out some kinks during our beta period, but we’re extremely excited to start giving you insights into your in-game performance, and using those insights to help inform your training and measure improvement!


The Combine ends on May 12th, and we’re excited to keep bringing you new tasks, events, and stats to help understand and improve your VALORANT performance. Join us on Discord or follow us on Twitter to keep up to speed on new developments, or let us know what you’d like to see next!

[h2]Rainbow Six Siege x Aim Lab[/h2]

We are proud to announce our new partnership with Rainbow Six Siege - And with it, a whole bundle of new content for you all! Starting with...

[h2]New Rainbow Six Siege Tasks[/h2]

Like with our last R6 event, we've brought a whole new bundle of Rainbow Six Siege tasks to Aim Lab!
These tasks mimic many of the elements of Rainbow Six Siege that you may be used to - Like camera height and movement speed, so those of you that play should feel right at home!

[h2]These tasks are ;[/h2]

[h3]Oregon Entry 2[/h3]

A task so nice we had to do it twice - Oregon Entry 2 offers a remix on the task you know and love - With new targets, new routes and new tactics needed to clear!

[h3]Clubhouse Entry 1[/h3]

Taking advantage of the new Clubhouse map, this task runs you through Clubhouse, clearing angles and dealing with enemies as you go. The perfect introduction to those that need to learn the map quickly!

[h3]Lean Peeking Basic[/h3]

Lean peeking is a critical skill in Rainbow Six - And so, we wanted to make sure you all had the best environment to practice this in!

Lean Peeking Basic is the first version of this task being brought to Aim Lab - Expect more to come!

[h2]New Rainbow Six Siege Weapons[/h2]

This goes out to all of you Ash and Jager mains - Aim Lab has some new guns!

Both the R4-C and the 416-C are now available within Aim Lab - Pre-equipped with a holo sight matching the one you are all used to! These weapons should feel pretty close to what you are used to - And are available both for all current tasks within Aim Lab, and for creators in the Creator Studio!

[h2]New Layout - Same Aim Lab[/h2]

When you next hop into AIm Lab, you might see a couple of changes to the Tasks screen - This overhaul of the task section is intended to make sure that you always know what can be found and where.

This features a couple of new sections that you may not have seen before - Such as ;

[h3]FEATURED -[/h3]

These are the most popular and well known tasks within Aim Lab, and cover a variety of bases when it comes to your training

[h3]GAME SPECIFIC -[/h3]

This is where you will find the new Rainbow Six Siege tasks - This section will host any and all tasks built with one specific game in mind - And may use the games movement speeds, camera height, physics, weapons, maps and more.

[h3]SKILLS -[/h3]

This is the new home of the category system. Here you will find the tasks of Aim Lab split into the categories that they affect - From Flicking to Cognition.

[h3]FAVORITES -[/h3]

As you would expect, this section hosts any and all of your Favorited content. Use it as a one-stop-shop for your favorite tasks!
[h2]
Aim Lab x Rainbow Six Siege[/h2]

So - Aim Lab is now the official Aim Training Partner for Siege, but what does that mean for you?

As an official partner of Rainbow Six Siege, we are going to focus on fulfilling the training needs of any and all aspiring Siege players - This is going to mean more tasks, more events, and more support for Siege as a whole!

As our partnership with Rainbow Six Siege matures, you can expect to see more and more support for R6 training within Aim Lab, from ingame Models and hitboxes, to maps, to, ofcourse, weapons, all of which will be fully supported by Aim Lab and the insight system.

We will have some very exciting things to show you in the future - But for now, we hope that this update will give those of you looking for ways to hone their skills a place to call home.

We’re extremely excited to announce that Aim Lab is now the official training center for Rainbow Six Siege!

That means if you’re a Siege player, or looking to become one, starting today a lot of good things are coming your way in Aim Lab. We’ve vastly improved the fundamentals -- e.g. game and player physics like movement speed, ADS, and lean peeking -- to make them mimic the Siege experience, so the habits you build in Aim Lab will translate over when you fire up R6S.

We’re also releasing a bunch of new content to broaden your training options. That includes new Siege-specific tasks, a second map, Clubhouse, being available both in tasks and Creator Studio, and we’re releasing our first two R6S weapons! You’ll find new gun models, along with recoil and spread, for the R4-C and the 416-C, so you can start really honing your accuracy, flicking, and recoil control.

And this is just the beginning for what we’re trying to accomplish. Our goal is to support Siege players of all levels as they improve their performance, whether that’s a new player, somebody looking to get over the hump in Ranked matches, or even seasoned veterans trying to hone the last 1% of their craft.

To that end, we’ll be adding more maps, tasks, weapons, and other great content in the weeks and months ahead. Join us on Discord or follow us on Twitter to keep up to speed on new developments, or let us know what you’d like to see next!
