PSA: Dre’s ‘Still D.R.E’ is the exact right tempo for perfect AK47 fire rate in CS:GO

Still DRE CS:GO

Sometimes, getting better at your favourite online games is a long process of training, researching, experimenting and competing.

Sometimes, you just need to listen to listen to the right music. Such is the case for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and learning to shoot an AK47.

For those out of the loop, ‘tapping’ refers to hitting perfect timing between shots of fully auto weapons in Counter-Strike to keep them extremely accurate at longer ranges while still putting out damage. Each gun has their own perfect timing, and it turns out that the Snoop Dogg / Dr. Dre cooperative effort Still D.R.E. has a piano loop that is perfectly timed for the AK47.

Armed with this new knowledge, you’ll be climbing the ladder in no-time, though you may get a tad sick of the word “still” if you’re listening on loop – such is the price of improvement. Nothing is free in this world.
