Should I practice first?

1v1 is a game that purely relies on skill. You can not buy additional upgrades nor do you get any perks by winning extra matches. This helps keep the playing field even while giving every participating player a chance to win the match. This fairground battlefield also means that experience in playing the game is the key to winning matches. The more you know about the game, the higher your chances are at winning.

The experience will also help you learn a lot of strategies, and understand the different tactics involved to play the game. Hence practicing before you actually start competing against friends and the leaderboard is a great idea. You can practice your building skills and get a better feel for your controls. Most players are extremely good at creating structures in the game, so if you are someone who is new to the concept of creating your own structures in a PvP shooter, then you should definitely practice your building skills first.

I advise you to start by learning how to build straight walls and ramps which will help you gain higher ground easily and efficiently. Getting to a higher ground than your enemies is an all-time popular tried and tested strategy in the world of 1v1. Simply create a 90-degree structure until you are higher than your enemies. You can then start shooting them. It’ll make it much easier for you to get headshots and deal much more damage to your enemies. Check out this video below.

So start by practicing your basic structures, create walls, ramps and 360-degree defenses that can help you save from enemy fire. This will help you get used to your controls as well while increasing your building speed in the process. Practicing this will also help improve your aim and get you used to the overall gameplay of 1v1.
