In the realm of mobile battle royale games like BGMI and PUBG: Mobile, players are constantly on the lookout for strategies to enhance their close combat skills and secure more headshots. One technique that has garnered attention is the "screen shake" method, where players deliberately shake their device's screen during gunfights.

But does this shaking motion genuinely contribute to improved accuracy and increased headshot rates, or is it merely a flashy yet ineffective maneuver? In this article, we'll delve into the two primary forms of screen shake—forced and natural—and assess their efficacy in elevating gameplay proficiency.

 

The Two Varieties of BGMI Screen Shake Trick

1. Forced Screen Shake: Visually Striking but Inconsistent

Forced screen shake involves intentionally jolting the screen, typically by cranking up the Third-Person Perspective (TPP) gyro sensitivity to its maximum (400%) and vigorously tapping or vibrating the device. This deliberate shaking creates a dramatic visual effect on the screen.

While forced screen shake may yield visually captivating clips and montages, it generally proves counterproductive during regular gameplay. Many players find that their aiming accuracy suffers when simultaneously attempting to aim, maneuver, and vigorously shake the screen. The excessive motion often disrupts their aim, unless they rely on aim assist to assist in targeting adversaries.

2. Natural Screen Shake: Cultivating Agility and Reflexes

Conversely, natural screen shake arises organically as players operate at a brisker pace, heightening their movement speed and reaction times. As individuals acclimate to swiftly responding to diverse scenarios and swiftly dispatching rival squads, a subtle, involuntary shake manifests on the screen.

 

The Key to Headshot Mastery

This natural screen shake doesn't inherently bolster headshot percentages or overall accuracy. However, it proves advantageous by fostering muscle memory for swift reactions, prompt decision-making, and rapid target transitions. To cultivate this skill, players should maintain a firm grip on their device for stable hip-firing and spraying while toggling aim assist off. This compels them to refine their crosshair placement and swiftness in targeting.

 

In summation, while forced screen shake may yield visually striking moments, it's generally not conducive to gameplay improvement. Instead, players should concentrate on cultivating a natural screen shake through heightened speed and reaction times.

Ultimately, securing headshots hinges on precise crosshair placement on the opponent's head, rather than relying solely on screen shake. Screen shake ought to be reserved for close-range engagements within the 5–10 meter range, as excessive shaking at longer distances typically leads to diminished accuracy and increased vulnerability.
