Help me be less suck.

[Plaxus]

Does anyone have some beginners tips?

I play battlefield and ARMA, and I'm super good at halo... but I'm trash at this game.

It seems like I can dump whole magazines and make no dents, some some low 30 point assist, but I get zap cannoned near non-stop.

I'm literally always in the last 5 people, if not dead last.

Give me some tips lol

head shots

[Hopper]

Find what class works for you, some weapons players will be super good with that you might not handle as well. Find some guns that work for you and keep using them to acquire attachments to better the handling/accuracy. You'll find after you've done this you'll start doing a'lot better and enjoying the game more. Also you won't learn all the maps in a day, it takes a few times playing the maps and knowing where enemies are going to go so you can flank and get some kills. Something i did forget to mention is flanking is a BIG thing in this game, if you can find out where majority of the enemy is during a match and make your way around you'll get quite a few kills. Watch some videos of some different guns on youtube and see what people are saying the goated guns are or the best weapons that have really good attachments and give them a go, Good luck!

Play 32 vs 32

[Vivianite]

nothing is hit scan, the higher the velocity the lower of a lead you need to do when shooting. recoil patterns are random, accuracy is to be taken literally and not a "first-shot accurate" bias, and you can adjust your ADS sensitivity on a per-scope bias. it's jhanky tho because most scopes don't designate their zoom levels.

a lot of actions are not instant or quick, try not to rush yourself

[Taker of Trophies]

Play medic and use smg.

[Octarius]

Play medic, use M4A1/MP-7. That's basicly all this game is about. No need to thank me.

[Ailes]

Stick with squadmates, work along the flanks, toss nades, drop claymores behind you, don't stay in one place for too long.

Realize that for some reason the devs don't know M4 and other rifles like that are effective out to 300m.

That a 5.56 to a no armor head should be a instant kill

That SMG are not as good as they seem to think either.

Those are my main issues.

I know it's 90% skill issues on my end but the drop off dmg of rifles is ridiculous as well as headshot mechanics.

my biggest issue is that even with a bolt action sniper, a little flimsy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ helmet stops my shot

Headshots, support, and meta guns.

If you want to take a few extra shots, and SMG someone to death, support seems nice, or at least they always win firefights against me...

Headshots are generally instakill, not always, some guns maybe not.

Meta guns do a lot of damage, I hear everyone complaining about the vector or something hella.

isnt only the exohelmet of the support able to survive a bolt action headshot?

I will assume you did not change the mouse sensitivity settings in the game. What are your DPI settings and polling rate on your mouse? What mouse do you have? In general don't use high DPI settings as that makes aiming/compensating for recoil harder.

A lot of other stuff is a matter of practice and not running into the open, into groups of enemies.

[3.1415926]

Cover ,Cover, Cover, and Cover.
You hide behind cover, you shoot from cover, you reload behind cover, you ♥♥♥♥ behind cover. and MOST IMPORTANT, you die behind cover so medic can revive you.
If you are not behind cover, you are dead already. They are 127 guns on the other side.

Lower your sensitivity

Go into the training range and make sure you can smoothly follow the bots that are moving left to right without being too jittery and in one motion (no picking up your mouse again). Then increase the time scale and do it again because usually people will be moving diagonally to you so it will be partially horizontal and partially vertical hand movement.

Then, take any weapon and put it on one shot/semi auto and shoot the moving dummy that's the last in that near range (the 150m one i think) and make sure you understand the hitreg. it's weird. you have to slightly lead shots even when it seems like you shouldn't.

go take a sniper and familiarize yourself with the bullet drop in the very long range. you can see in a more practical sense why your shots are missing with certain guns if you don't compensate for the drop. It is pretty minor but quickly adds up.

watch a decent streamer, not an amazing one, see how they play. like, don't watch robocat or surefour or someone, just find someone above average who gets a solid kdr and preferably doesn't use the vector. Watch how they play briefly, it will help a lot in creating a mental picture of why you do things, especially if they succeed where maybe you were failing. Then you can see the payoff, such as, if you flank and are confronted by two people who happened to be straggling, what do you do if you actually win that? a 1v3 or 1v4 while flanking is pretty common and you have the advantage of surprise usually. You will find your gun changes how you approach those encounters to a great degree.


don't bother sniping... if you don't know what your plan is it's just sort of stressful since any time you peek, even without a long range glint scope, someone will see you and then you have to take shots while also risking getting bopped.

most of all, don't worry about kd or score when learning. The leaderboard is a mishmash of stuff. I've had highest kills while being in the bottom half since I was playing a recon marksman type and stopping the other team flanking onto points, and not playing the objective myself. Play the objective if you're not sure what to do. If you wander around too much, you will either walk into a claymore or sweaty boi #377 who is going across the map on an atv so he can get a 15 killstreak on your snipers

wait this thread is a necro too. wtf
