KovaaK's is an aim trainer, not a game. There is no campaign, no enemies with behaviour worth learning and no progression outside your own scores. It arrived on Steam on 3 April 2018, was later retitled KovaaK 2.0, sells for around 9.99 US dollars, and carries more than 200,000 community-made scenarios alongside the sandbox, benchmark and workshop tooling.
Choosing the right role shapes your entire experience. This guide breaks down every option: what they're good at, what they struggle with, and which one matches your playstyle. For optimized builds with full gear sets, see our builds guide.
