Tips on avoiding tks, both giving and receiving

[RunsWithScissors]

1. Check your map and compass, a lot!

2. Stick to the standard uniform and you will be accidentally tk’d much less. I know folks like to play ‘Tactical Barbie’ with tons of folks stripping down to their undies to put on cool ♥♥♥♥, but both sides have black uniforms, especially modded. Do yourself a favor and stick with the standard uni.

3. It’s probably a bug and thus will be fixed, but currently on WCS, if you do not join a squad you will not be on the map for friendlies. If I check my map and no friendlies are nearby, if I see you I will shoot first, sorry. Even if I recognize the friendly uniform, I will gun you bc you are not on the map and maybe you are an enemy wearing the opponents uniform.

4. Have a mic! I was playing this evening with a SCAR H at night and shooting at long range and really holding a lot of my shots bc I could not tell friendlies from enemies. But I was giving call outs and friendlies were responding like ‘yup, that was me’ or ‘no, no one of us are there’.

5. Whisper ‘friendly’ when approaching a teammate in like forest or brush. Yell ‘blue coming in’ when entering a building you know has teammates in it.

6. Have a mic! You spent (or momma did) $2,000 on a gaming rig, go shovel some snow for a neighbor and buy a $35 headphone with a mic.

7. Play with a good set of headphones.

8. If you are wearing a track suit and white Reeboks I am going to kill you regardless of which team you are on.

regardless of camo pattern helmet shapes have been an easy identifier at any distance for me. also you have binoculars (or should) so use them.

Weapon identification is one of the easiest ways to ID friend or foe. Russians almost always exclusively use RPGs so thats a very easy identifier. AKs and M4s/M16s are pretty different looking from each other too and also get familiar with the sounds the shots make for each type in case u cant ID someone u hear shooting close by

Yeah I shot a friendly in the dark tonight because he was using an enemy rifle. Since the PS release shows hostiles usernames you never know.

you can also extend the range of the name tags of team mate by using left control and home and bring up the menu...then set the name tag distance to max 990 or 950.

2. is great, although its okay to strip down to look more "neutral" because ive been tked more in default uniform than I have withOUT a shirt on

3. you are not intelligent for shooting friendlies "erm maybe you shouldve showed on the map" dude just ID your targets first. Or at least aim at them for a sec and see if they aim back. If they arent a direct threat, switch to the actual threat target thats aiming AT YOU

4. i dont want to hear people spam platoon chat with "IS THAT GUY WITH THE PINK FLIP FLOPS, BLUE CHECK SHIRT AND BASEBALL CAP FRIENDLY? OKAY OKAY IS THE RED SHIRT GUY FRIENDLY?"

5. do not do this to me. if im sneaking up on the enemy i do NOT want them to hear some noob use his loud mic to "whisper" that hes friendly. i probably heard you nearby anyway and il see the big white obnoxious name at the top
