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.
KovaaK's features distinct areas with increasing difficulty. This guide covers every major location in progression order: what to do, what to get, and when to move on. For the step-by-step path, see our walkthrough.
Area Progression Order
| Order | Location | Difficulty | Key Rewards | Recommended Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Voltaic Aim Training Routines | Any, matched to your current benchmark tier | A daily plan that is not just replaying whichever scenario you enjoy most | High sensitivity wrist aimer |
| 2 | Voltaic Novice Benchmarks | New to aim training | Iron, Bronze, Silver or Gold, plus a clear read on which of the three categories is your weakest | High sensitivity wrist aimer |
| 3 | Voltaic Intermediate Benchmarks | After completing Novice comfortably | Platinum through Master, and the diagnosis that tells you what to train next | Low sensitivity arm aimer |
| 4 | Voltaic Advanced Benchmarks | Long-term trained players only | Grandmaster through Celestial, and leaderboard placement | Low sensitivity arm aimer |
| 5 | Game-specific benchmarks | Any, once your sensitivity is correctly converted | A score that maps onto the game you actually play | Low sensitivity arm aimer |
Voltaic Aim Training Routines: Starting Area
The practice playlists, distinct from the benchmarks that test you. They are published per difficulty tier and tell you which scenarios to run and when to move up, which is the structure the workshop's 200,000 scenarios cannot give you on their own.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Any, matched to your current benchmark tier |
| Key Rewards | A daily plan that is not just replaying whichever scenario you enjoy most |
| Recommended Role | High sensitivity wrist aimer |
| Key Weapons | Tracking scenarios |
What to Do Here
- Learn the basics of Sensitivity matching by cm/360. This is where you practice without heavy punishment.
- Collect starting resources and your first weapons upgrade.
- Clear all main content before moving to Voltaic Novice Benchmarks.
- If you're struggling, read our beginner's guide.
Voltaic Novice Benchmarks: Early Game
The entry tier, covering Clicking, Tracking and Target Switching. Ranks here run Iron, Bronze, Silver and Gold, and most players who have never trained deliberately land somewhere in the lower half on their first attempt.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | New to aim training |
| Key Rewards | Iron, Bronze, Silver or Gold, plus a clear read on which of the three categories is your weakest |
| Recommended Role | High sensitivity wrist aimer |
| Key Weapons | Tracking scenarios |
What to Do Here
- Focus on mastering Playlists and score history. It's critical from this point on.
- Farm for Tracking scenarios if you don't have it yet.
- Complete all objectives for maximum rewards.
- Prepare for the difficulty spike in Voltaic Intermediate Benchmarks.
Voltaic Intermediate Benchmarks: Mid Game
The tier where category weaknesses stop hiding. Ranks are Platinum, Diamond, Jade and Master, and it is normal to sit two ranks lower in one category than the other two.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | After completing Novice comfortably |
| Key Rewards | Platinum through Master, and the diagnosis that tells you what to train next |
| Recommended Role | Low sensitivity arm aimer |
| Key Weapons | Tracking scenarios |
What to Do Here
- This is the main skill check. Bring an optimized build.
- Clicking scenarios becomes accessible here. Prioritize getting it.
- Master Community scenario workshop for the boss encounters.
- Check our boss guide if you get stuck.
Voltaic Advanced Benchmarks: Late Game
The top tier, with Grandmaster, Nova, Astra and Celestial as the ranks. Reaching Celestial across all categories is a multi-year project and is far beyond what any competitive shooter actually requires.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Long-term trained players only |
| Key Rewards | Grandmaster through Celestial, and leaderboard placement |
| Recommended Role | Low sensitivity arm aimer |
| Key Weapons | Clicking scenarios |
What to Do Here
- Full build optimization is expected by this point.
- Clicking scenarios should be your primary, fully upgraded.
- Game profile import mastery starts mattering here.
- Farm resources for the push into Game-specific benchmarks.
Game-specific benchmarks: Endgame
Dedicated benchmark sets built around individual titles including VALORANT, Apex Legends and Fortnite. They use scenario parameters closer to that game's engagement distances and target sizes than the general benchmarks do.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Any, once your sensitivity is correctly converted |
| Key Rewards | A score that maps onto the game you actually play |
| Recommended Role | Low sensitivity arm aimer |
| Key Weapons | Clicking scenarios |
What to Do Here
- This is endgame. Best-in-slot gear and a perfected build are mandatory.
- See our boss guide for endgame fight strategies.
- The reward loop: clear content → upgrade → push harder content.
- Experiment with Tracking-first shooter for variety once you've mastered the meta.
Exploration Tips
- Clear areas in order: Voltaic Aim Training Routines → Voltaic Novice Benchmarks → Voltaic Intermediate Benchmarks → Voltaic Advanced Benchmarks → Game-specific benchmarks. Skipping areas means missing resources you'll need later.
- Check every corner: Hidden caches and secrets are often in non-obvious locations.
- Match your weapons: Some areas favor different weapons types.
- Read the walkthrough: Our walkthrough provides exact progression milestones for each area.
- Don't rush: Clearing an area fully gives more resources than speedrunning two areas.
