Aimlabs News

[h2]This is a big one folks - A new event, new leaderboards, new tasks and more! Let’s dive right into it. [/h2]


Test your speed and precision in our new task Scattershot! We’ve put together an aim competition to test your skills! Get your name on top of the Scattershot leaderboard between March 24th and April 7th for your chance to win some amazing prizes!




Combining wide engagement flicks with small, rapid microcorrections, Scattershot is a one-size-fits-all task for just about any flicking need you might have!
Playing through the task is fairly simple - Flick to a target, then destroy it, as you would in any other task, but with a twist - Once you kill a target, two more spawn right next to your crosshair. Kill them as fast as possible, then repeat.
This task is fairly universally applicable for flicking - From Valorant to Hyperscape and everything inbetween, so definitely try to fit it into your routines!




After much ado - The long awaited leaderboard 2.0 update is here! And with it - The ability to sort leaderboards by date range.
What does this mean for you?
Well, for those of you fighting for spots on the leaderboards, not only will your records sit atop the boards for all to see, but you’ll even have the opportunity to compete with your friends on a day-to-day basis!
And for everyone else - You’ll be able to see a clean history of the task, who’s the best and what they are doing differently to you. For some of you, it’s a goal to look at, and for the rest - It’s motivation to keep driving forward!

[h2]All other updates & fixes[/h2]

[h3]Aim Lab[/h3]

• Ended the G2 Creator Studio event
  

[h3]Creator Studio[/h3]

• Fixed Terrain Editing not functioning across new maps
  

We have just launched 5 new tasks, specifically designed for Siege to kick off the R6S Aim Lab Combine! Play those tasks and compare yourself against the pros with our Player Card! The limited time Player Card gives you great insight into your motor, perception & cognition skills, alongside an overall score! Share it on Twitter with #AIMLABCOMBINE to see how you shape up against your buddies! The event is live from today until the 18th of March!

[h2]SiegeEntry[/h2]



Run through the Oregon map taking out targets as you go - But be careful, they shoot back! Targets will spawn around corners, behind doors and hidden in hard to reach places - Your goal here is to move through the map as quickly as possible, clearing sightlines and progressing through the map as many times as you can before the timer hits zero.

[h2]SiegeC4Arcs[/h2]



Like a shield mains nightmare - C4 will come flying at you from behind cover. Destroy the blocks before they can explode to score points!

[h2]SiegeCapacity[/h2]



Designed to benchmark and stress test your short term memory - Targets of various colors will spawn and respawn, with one target changing color every wave. Pick the right target to progress! Bonus points are awarded the further you go without a miss - But note, as you do better, the number of targets spawning per wave will increase!

[h2]SiegeDetectionShot[/h2]



Being able to pick out an enemy in a complex background is one of the fundamental skills of Rainbow Six Siege - This task aims to do just that. Small targets will spawn all around the room, blending in with the background - Your goal is to identify, then eliminate these targets as quickly as possible. Bonus points are awarded for destroying the target quickly.

[h2]SiegeAudiospatial45[/h2]



A remix on our existing audiospatial mode - This task spawns 4 targets all around the player and has one of them play a noise. Your goal is to take out this target as quickly as possible to spawn the next set. The faster you kill the target - The more points you get. It’s that simple.

[h2]This patch we’ve added:[/h2]

Team Aim Lab

Welcome to this week’s Creator Studio update! We have new & updated VALORANT templates, custom weapons, new bots and a community contest with G2 Esports with a prize pool of $4500! More info on each below!

[h2]Smart Bots[/h2]

We have launched a new experimental bot type - Smart Bots. These bots behave a little more closely to what you might expect from a human player, dodging, roaming and reacting to the actions that you take. Currently, Smart Bots have 5 sets of overrides that you can choose from within the Creator Studio - Each of which has oodles of options to play around with.

We would love to hear any feedback that you might have on the new Smart Bots - And especially anything that you might want added, so be sure to reach out to us with any feedback you might have!

[h2]Custom Weapons in Creator Studio[/h2]

Custom weapons are now fully supported within the Creator Studio - Including those that you have already made! This means that any custom weapons that you, or anybody else have put together within Aim Lab can be integrated and uploaded alongside your creations - Want to build a long range sniping course with actual projectiles? Go for it! Want to practice your Sova lineups on one of our VALORANT templates? Or maybe a gauntlet to practice your wingman shots? Now you can!

[h2]Bind Map[/h2]



After many requests - VALORANT’s Bind map is now available as a Creator Studio template for all users and is ready for you to build your own scenarios from.

[h2]Haven updates[/h2]

We have updated the Haven template to be more accurate and true to the original. These changes will apply retroactively to all maps created on the template - So don’t worry creators, you won’t have to lift a finger!


[h2]The G2 x Creator Studio contest[/h2]



We’ve partnered up with G2 Esports to bring a new kind of contest to Aim Lab - A creative one! To enter, simply build a cool task, include their logo or emote in your creation & be in for a chance to win your share of $4500!! Once your task is created, be sure to tag your map with “Enter G2 Contest” before uploading to make sure you enter your creation properly - We’ve added a new button just for this.

The top six winners will receive $500 each, and the map that comes out on top of those six will receive a bonus of $1500! All creations will be judged live on Twitch by G2 Esports & their creators! More info here: https://g2esports.com/creator-studio/?r=EU
