prefire
What does prefire mean?
You spray a corner or off-angle the instant you swing it, betting someone's holding there. No crosshair-on-target needed first. Pure map knowledge and timing.
"He prefired the boxes at A and got a free kill before the guy even rendered."
Origin
Tactical shooter jargon, popularised by Counter-Strike. 'Pre' (before) + 'fire'.
Frequently asked questions
Is prefiring the same as spraying randomly?
No. Prefiring is aimed at a specific known position, not blind panic. The skill is knowing exactly where to point before the angle clears.
