WARNING

Propkilling is a bannable offense in almost 40% of TTT servers. The act is seen as minge-like, and can lead too very damaged ties with communities. With that said I take no responsiability for player's actions regarding propkilling, and anything you or any other player does is on your own head.

Prosper long, and enjoy, but BE CAREFUL.

Setting Up Your Mouse For Propkilling

One of the major issues in propkilling is being able to do what most PK'ers refer too as, QRT. QRT stands for Quick Reaction Time. Propkilling is all about having a very open mind, and being able to keep up with said mind.
So how do we set up our mouses for Propkilling? Well guess what... It's remotley doesn't even relate too Garry's Mod/Source Engine. What you need to do is open your Control Panel from the Start Menu, and Enable Classic View. Look for Mouse, and double click on it. This should bring up a menu.

Now from here you should see the following tabs...

- Buttons
- Pointers
- Pointer Options
- Wheel
- Hardware

The one you want to enter is Pointer Options. From here you should see should see the following

- Motion
- Snap To
- Visibility


Under Motion you'll usually have a thing checked called, 'Enchance Pointer Precision'. Few words of advice... DISABLE THIS MOTHERFUCKER LIKE NO TOMMOROW. If you have sloppy aim in games, if you can't react fast enough even with max settings, this little fuck is your reason why. It'll take some time to get use to the new movement on your desktop, but its needed for propkilling

BACK TO THE BLUE LOGO WITH THE WHITE G.

Back to Garry's Mod already? Fuck, I thought I would be able to get pass a few hours of ear rape. Alright this is where things start depending on what your style is. If you wish to toss props fast, but with little accuracy(like I tend to do) you'll need to adjust too the following settings or something similar.

Mouse Sens: 6.0
Raw Input: Checked
Mouse Accel: Checked
Mouse Accel Speed: 1.15


These settings will give you a very, very fast motioned mouse so if your into guns more then props you'll need to fine tune them too your style.

Tossing Props


Tossing props is an art really... It required a good set of hands, and fast reflexs. More importantly... It requires a wrist. Have you ever gone fishing? Imagine your mouse as the rod... Yeah like the rod flicking, without the flick of a rod, but more of push forward...


A few methods can be adopted for propkilling, but these are more common foothold for n00bies.

First method is simple... Turn about 90/180 degrees, and turn toward the direction your enemy is, and click mouse one. This will release a viciously flying prop which can kill in one hit.
Second method is similar with a twist... I'm not even joking about the twist part, by the way. You turn your mouse like you normaly would for a normal throw, but you actually press mouse two. This releases a much more accurate, but less powerful throw, and even though you may be more tuned to use mouse two be careful.


My favorite method though? Rug Burning.

What's Rug Burning? Rug burning is where you do a quick reflex of gripping the prop, but not grabbing it with the magneto stick, and do a quick 45 degree shot which sends the prop skyrocketing acorss the ground, and if a player is standing on anyform of prop, stairs, or otherwise... It automatically kills them. This is more on the line an intermediate skill, but if you can perfect it, it's damn well effective for quick slingshot kills.

Another method is called Bouncy Ball.

What you do is take a small prop which weighs about 25-50 pounds, and actually flick it towards a nearby wall of your enemy. It does barley any damage when it hits them, but for some unknown reason it colors the screen a deeper red, and blinds them for a split second.

PROPSSSSssssss


Ah.... My favorite part of this guide. The bullet for the gun. The fries with the cheeseburger... The bacon with eggs. Yeah... This is really important.

Props are designated into a few groups.. Let me explain.


Explosives

Explosives are the props that are made for long-range blast damage/surprise attacks. The way your suppose to use these is by getting a buddy with a MAC-10 to ignite the barrel, propane, or gascan, and you toss them out toward an group of enemy players. Explosives are very, very easy too use, but have a few drawbacks. First off... Your lugging around a fricking explosive. One shot from a sniper,m16,shotgun, or crowbar kills it. Explosives are not heat-seaking missiles... Murphy's Law comes into play here. If it has a possibility of fucking up, it will fuck up. Make sure to write that down... It's important.


Breakables

Breakables are the more commonly used prop for propkilling considering their found in abundancies thanks to Valve making a lot of breakable stuff for FPS games. So how do you use a breakable? Breakables are basically the shotgun of propkilling. They pepper a target, but don't salt it. It usually will require two hits to kill anything with a breakable prop. Thats a major drawback of breakables though considering their a one go, low-go, and missing usually means you get screwed in the ass by five different people.


BARRELSSSSSSS

Ah... The sniper rifle of propkilling. Barrels are something you really should learn to love. They do the most damage aside from 'Mystery Props' and are very, very easy to use. Barrels actually rocket twice the speed of most props  ;)
So how do you use barrels? Well its quiet simple really... You pick it up, choose a target, toss it in their general direction, and find a taxdirmist for their corpse.
Barrels really don't have many drawbacks other then the fact they make the loudest noise when being tossed around, and are easily detected like our buddy the explosive barrel.


Mystery Props

I love finding mystery props, but the problem about them is quiet simple... Thier a mystery! Mystery props are considered the one hundred ton bomb of propkilling. You really just can't go wrong with them(aside from bombing civilian populations hehe....). Examples of mystery props are as followed...

Cash Registers which aren't weight changed by the mappers
RP_Christmastowns Three Way Computer Screen(1 hit kills eryday)
Chairs which aren't weight changed by the mappers
Cinder Blocks
