Patch 10.07 · checked 8 Nov

Every pack, checked against every patch

Patches make settings, callouts and drills go stale. I check each pack after every patch, and you get every update free. Newest first, every line linking to its page.

About

About me

I play a competitive tactical shooter on controller, in a small flat with a desk, a lamp and a lot of notes. I started in ranked because it was the hardest way to learn. I lost a lot, wrote down why, and slowly it turned into a routine I could share.

Every patch changes something: a stick curve, a map, a recoil pattern. A settings file or a callout map that was right last month can be wrong now, so I check each pack after every patch and write down what I changed. If you bought a pack, you get every update free.

I am not a coach and I do not sell wins. I make packs, printables and two video courses so you can play your own games, and review them, with a plan. When the screen goes dark I go to the sauna or run in the snow.
