1. Master the Melee Combat System
- C-Bug (Crouch Bugging) – This technique is used to shoot faster with certain weapons by pressing "C" after shooting, canceling the animation. Some servers allow it, while others ban it.
- Lag Compensation Awareness – SA-MP has latency differences, so predicting enemy movement is key.
- Avoid Standing Still – Always keep moving to make yourself a harder target.
2. Best Weapons for Fighting
- Desert Eagle (Deagle) – One of the best weapons due to its high damage and accuracy.
- Shotguns (Sawn-off / Combat) – If your server allows dual sawn-off shotguns, you can swap them rapidly to fire faster.
- M4/AK-47 – Good for mid-range fights, but the recoil can be tricky.
- MP5 – Decent for close-range fights when running and gunning.
3. Gunfight Techniques
- C-Bugging (if allowed) – Lets you shoot faster by canceling animations.
- 2-Shot (Shotgun Switching) – Quickly switch between sawn-off shotguns to fire faster than waiting for the pump animation.
- Jump & Shoot – If you're in a duel, jumping while shooting can make it harder for enemies to hit you.
- Use Cover – Hide behind walls or cars and peek out to shoot.
4. Movement Tactics
- Strafing – Always move left and right to avoid getting hit.
- Bunny Hopping – Helps you move faster but isn’t allowed on all servers.
- Roll/Dive (G Key) – This can be useful for dodging bullets in close-range fights.
5. Understand Server Rules
- Some servers ban C-bugging, 2-shotting, or other advanced techniques, so check the rules before using them.
6. Improve Aim and Reaction Time
- Play Deathmatch (DM) servers to practice shooting.
- Use Mouse Sensitivity Settings that feel comfortable for fast aiming.
- Learn Headshot mechanics – some servers have headshot-enabled settings.
7. Vehicle Combat
- Drive-by Shooting – Use "Q" and "E" to shoot from a vehicle while driving.
- Avoid Exploding Cars – They do instant damage, so stay away from burning vehicles.
8. Gang Wars / Team Fights
- Always stick with teammates to avoid being ganged up on.
- Communicate using chat or voice (if available).
- Flank enemies instead of rushing head-on.
