How to Improve KD Ratio

In modern first-person shooters, it takes more than a high kill count to be the best. Earning the most kills in a round certainly gives you more points, but this is not necessarily an indicator of your in-game skill. Your Kill/Death ratio -- which is tracked by most next-gen, first-person titles -- compares your total kill count to the number of times you die during a match. A high K/D ratio indicates that you contribute points to your team while giving up fewer points to the opposition, while a low K/D ratio shows that despite your killing sprees you are not very good at staying alive.

Instructions

- 1
  Understand the combat range of each map. Maps are usually focused on long, medium or short-range combat. You should tailor your loadouts to each map type, so you are always well-prepared for the type of combat you will find.
- 2
  Learn your way around every map. You cannot improve your K/D ratio unless you know where enemies usually hide, where you can stop and pick off a few opponents, and the best place to drop killstreak rewards.
- 3
  Play smart instead of aggressive. If the enemy team is defending a point, do not blindly run in repeatedly until you get lucky. Find an alternate, unguarded route and sneak in. Knowing when and how to attack in a situation like this is critical in preserving your K/D ratio.
- 4
  Stay with your team. Lone wolf tactics may keep you ahead on the kill counter, but you will need the assistance of other players if you want to stay alive. If your teammates protect one another, everyone's K/D ratio will benefit.
- 5
  Stick with team-based game types. In a free-for-all match, you are going to be killed almost as often as you kill other players. Team-based game types give you a better chance of staying alive longer.
