How to Become the Ultimate Killing Machine
By Samir Al Hyde
This is a guide for folks who feel they die too much, read through it and im sure you will get some useful information out of it. I will not go through the classes, if you want a more in depth probably better guide hit up GARMO, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=884329996. Otherwise keep on reading, I am too lazy to correct the spelling issues, maybe I will update this guide in the future when 1.3 comes out

3 MAIN POINTS YOU NEED TO KNOW
TLDR: LISTEN TO SODOM AND DO A LOT OF ADDERALL
3 Main points you NEED TO UNDERSTAND BEFORE PLAYING THIS GAME

  • You will DIE alot, its nothing to be ashamed of, its natural in this game. No one can escape not dying in this game, its bound to happen, wether from shells of arty or some nerd using an SVD 200m back from the spawn. Understand you need to adapt to your situation that is the only way the sole way of capturing the objective.

  • KILLS ARE NOT THE OBJECTIVE. Yes it is very satisfying to hear that hemet ding when u pop a malurished viet cong in the cranium, but this is not the goal. The goal is to WIN through capturing each objective, this does not apply to skirmish but no one plays skirmish. You will most likly be playing supremecy or territories. Put aside all the other shooter metas, kills are vital to the game yes but if no one tries to capture the objective your team is ♥♥♥♥ outta luck.

  • DO NOT TAKE ROLES YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY. A single squad if ran correctly, can win the game for the whole team. If there are clueless squad leaders there will be clueless squads. Furthermore, understand each role and what each role is designed for ex, you shouldnt be snipping kids from behind the objective if youre playing sapper for the commies. Use your weapon the way it was suppose to be used. Support your squad and dont be afriad to speak up if someone clearly does not understand what role they are playing. I dont mean call people out constantly I mean if a squad leader cannot for the most part be consistantly a spawn point, then they shouldnt be squad leader.
3 TIPS TO MAKE YOU A BETTER KILLER
  • BE AGRESSIVE, flank more, try and open up lanes for your fellow squad members to go through. I find alot of people complain about the constant spawn die spawn die without actually trying anything differernt. The maps may seem small but in reality if you understand the map, you can easily outflank any squad or position. This is key in capturing objectives especially if done correctly, an objective can be taken down within minutes. Remember anyone and everyone can die from just 1 bullet, it only takes one person to outflank and kill a whole squad with one magazine.

  • SELECT FIRE IS YOUR SAVIOR. There are many weapons in this game with varying levels of recoil. Generally for rifles you want to be using select fire especially if youre engaging at long range. It is not plausible to keep your weapon on auto if there are multiple enemies atleast 20m away. Of course you can keep auto on but you will miss more shots and you will have to reload more often.

  • USE YOUR GRENADES WISELY. Say I shot an rpg at a building and killed everyone inside. There shouldnt be 3 people still throwing grenades in there. Its a waste. A single grenade can kill upwards to 6+ people. Throw them in places where you hear the enemy shooting, throw them in fortified positions. DO NOT randomly chuck them, throw them with purpose. Grenades can be your most deadly weapon in your aresenal if you know how and when to use them.
3 Points that will make you the reaper





  • LISTEN TO YOUR COMMANDER. If he is calling support in a certain area check your map and work around it. DO NOT run into it and DO NOT run for it. Understand most supports excluding mortors and SPOOKY havea 50-60m radious, stay on the edge of so once it has fallen you may execute your assault. Understand where it is falling and flank around it, EXPLOIT the times when the majority of the defenders are suppressed by support. Same thing goes for defenders. DO NOT run into the enemy arty. It is very simple. You should limit yourself to only dying from enemy support when you dont know it is called in. It is not hard to simply outflank the radious of the enemy arty or even just avoid it at all. Furthermore, many people still fail to get this, there is recon in this game, it may be brief for attackers, but it gives you a very good picture of where the enemy defenses are.

  • LEARN the maps. Understand the usual routes the enemies take and stop them. Set up on angles you know you wont get shot from until you start shooitng. Of course I do not mean stay in the back of the map I mean be creative. There are alot of nooks and cranies you can hide in and set up at. THERE IS BULLET PENETRATION ASWELL. EXPLOIT this and shoot threw walls, you will be surprised how well each bullet travels throw cover.

  • DONT BE AFRAID TO GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL. Pressing C equips a knife to your weapon for many guns in this game. The reality is if you are attacking an objective you wil more or less be very close to enemies. Keep auto on and your wits about you, spray and pray only if nessesary and only if you know the direction of the enemy. Listen for the enemy, learn how each gun sounds. You should be able to know if its an AK shooting or an M16, figure out the location of the shooters and deal with them. Again It only takes one man to be extermely effective if he gets that flank or angle off. Also, use arty as a way to make a breakthru into an objective, if you can get into the obj in between arty strikes you will kill a lot of people
3 Points that will Increase your survival

  • BE CAUTIOUS of your enviroment and surroundings. Understand the height map and where you can get shot from at a given location. For example, Hue City has a lot of vantage points that oversee various areas of the map. Brainstorm potentional sniper/Machine Gun positions and try to avoid them. Furthermore, stick to hard cover that can negate most calibers and cover that will, sorry, cover your whole body not just your torso and legs.
    In yellow there are the safer flank lanes that can usually overcome the VC defenses, in red are quicker but more dangerous approaches to each objective. Of course if these flanks are not covered each objective will fall very quickly.

  • FIRE BACK AT THE ENEMY. Too many times I see players ignore enemy fire and get pinned down in very poor positions. Machine gunners and even riflemen have to return fire as to allow a free movement for their teammates toward the objective. Usually the very reason why players cannot approach a point is because no one is actually returning fire. Neutralizing hardened postions and automatic fire can greatly help your team acheive victory in a point.

  • USE YOUR ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SMOKES. This is proabably the most important point out of any other if you play as radioman or Scout/Pointman. Smoke grenades do a wonderful maybe even a magical thing. It blinds the enemy. I know sounds like cheating but I assure you it is completly legal to use your smoke grenades under the geneva convention. I joke about it becasue it is such a simple tool that some people do not even utilize. Throw them in smart locations and take notice of the wind direction in each map. Yes wind direction is a thing. Evenly space the smoke to the best of your ability and charge for cover. I would say one smoke grenade can cover 10-15m of ground depending on where its thrown. A very VITAL tool, use it wisely.
Final Thoughts




With this knowlege your expericnce with the game should improve drastically. Be smart dont be stupid, engage in situatons you know you will win. ADAPT to the situation, and OVERCOME the unforseen problems ahead during the match. This game is very rage inducing I know, but if you are calm, clear headed and understand the basic mechanics, you can turn into the REAPER himself.


GOOD LUCK AND DIE FOR YOUR COUNTRY!
