Weāve all been thereāyouāre the last one alive, the odds are stacked against you, and you need to clutch up against multiple enemies.Ā Whether itās a 1v2, 1v3, or even a 1v4, knowing how to stay calm, outplay your opponents, and secure the dubĀ is what separates casuals from pros. Letās break it down! šš
š§ 1ļøā£ Stay Calm & Reset Your Mindset
The biggest mistakeĀ players make in 1vX situations? Panic.Ā If you rush into fights without a plan, youāre giving the enemy free kills.
ā Take a deep breath ā donāt rush into a fight blindā Think of it as three 1v1s, NOT a 1v3ā Use audio cues to locate enemies before engaging
š” Pro Tip:Ā If enemies are chasing you, rotate away and repositionāforce them into bad fights on YOUR terms.
šÆ 2ļøā£ Play for Isolated 1v1s
In a 1v3, you CANNOTĀ take all enemies at onceāyou need to separate themĀ and take fights one by one.
How to Isolate Fights:
ā Use coverĀ to block enemies from shooting you at the same timeā Rotate quicklyĀ after every killādonāt stay in one placeā Bait enemies into chasing youĀ and pick them off one by one
š” Pro Tip:Ā Use doorways, corners, and head glitchesĀ to limit how many enemies can see you at once.
š« 3ļøā£ Pre-Aim & Pre-Fire ā Always Be Ready
In clutch situations, you donāt have time to reactāyou need to be ready before the enemy peeks.
How to Always Win Gunfights:
ā Pre-aim common anglesĀ before pushingā Pre-fire cornersĀ when you KNOW an enemy is thereā Jump or crouch mid-fightĀ to throw off their aim
š” Pro Tip:Ā Use ADS movement speed attachmentsĀ to stay mobile while pre-aiming.
šØ 4ļøā£ Movement = Life (Donāt Be a Bot!)
The worst thing you can do in a 1vXĀ is stand still. Good movement = harder to hit, better positioning, and more chances to win.
ā Slide-cancelĀ between fights to stay unpredictableā Jump-shotĀ around corners to catch enemies off guardā Drop-shotĀ if you need to throw off aim assist in close fights
š” Pro Tip:Ā Fake retreats!Ā Run away, then quickly turn and re-engage when the enemy chases you.Ā They wonāt expect it!
šÆ 5ļøā£ Play the Objective (Especially in S&D)
If youāre clutching in Search & Destroy, playing smart > chasing kills.
ā If youāre attacking, donāt rushāwait for enemies to make mistakesā If youāre defending, force the enemy to plant and use that to your advantageā Use utilityĀ (flashbangs, smokes) to block enemy sightlines
š” Pro Tip:Ā If you plant the bomb, donāt peek immediately!Ā Let the timer pressure the enemy first.
š ļø 6ļøā£ Use the Right Loadout for Clutching
Your weapon choice can make or break a 1vX situation.Ā You need mobility, accuracy, and stopping power.
Best Clutch Loadouts:
ā Krig 6 / Kilo 141Ā ā Deadly accuracy, strong at all rangesā CBR4 / Switchblade X9Ā ā Fast handling for aggressive playsā DL Q33 / LocusĀ (if sniping) ā 1-shot kills with fast ADS build
š” Pro Tip:Ā Always carry a throwableĀ (stun, flash, or thermite) to stall enemies or reposition.
š„ Final Thoughts ā Clutch Like a Pro!
Winning 1v3 situationsĀ isnāt just about aimāitās about strategy, patience, and smart movement.Ā Stay calm, separate fights, pre-aim, and use movement to your advantage.Ā The more you practice, the more clutch moments youāll hit.
