What is a yolo charge you might ask?
A YOLO charge is when a regiment, or group of players with little to no hope of living more than once charge into gunfire in an attempt to make a name for themselves and die epicly while simultaneously screaming yolo via chat or team speak. Utilized in World War 2 by both the Japanese (Banzai!!!!!!!!!) and the Russians when they ran out of ammo for their soldiers. (the russians sometimes placed machine guns behind their yolo'ers in an attempt to increase morale)
How to Master the yolo charge
Step 1: Remember to utilize the meatshields that hopefully surround you, such as friends or acquaintances. (if you yolo charge alone you are going to have a hard time)

Step 2: Once close to the enemy you must ditch all your comrades (otherwise known as meatshields) and get infront of them, or behind them. The reason for this is your friends WILL team kill or wound you if you are anywhere near them.

Step 3: Pick targets! Some of your adversaries will undoubtedly be busy dealing with your fellow yolo'ers, so its your job to steal the kills of your friendlies by sneaking behind your enemy and stabbing them in the bac\
k of the head.

Step 4: If you have gotten two kills yourself, and notice that your side is still hoplessly out-numbered you must go to step 4a. If your side is winning the fight go to step 4b.

4a: You must be smart while groupfighting now because you are outnumbered. Try to get the enemies close to each other so that they might tk each other. Also you must try to position your self where only one enemy can hit you at a time, so that you have an advantage. Last but not least you must learn the value of not blocking when outnumbered! (seriously) Blocking is obviously an integral part of the game when it comes to fighting one or two enemies but when fighting more than that it does more harm than good.
There are multiple reasons for this
1: Most players fall into the category of spammers with their attack/block ratio, so if you block once when fighting multiple opponents, you will be incessantly spammed until you miss one block and get killed.
2: As I stated earlier most players dont block often, so if you upstab at people they will often be insta-killed leaving less enemies.
3: If you are good at moving your feet, you can avoid attacks with range, which is easier than avoiding 3 people stabbing in different directions.

4b: try not to get team killed by drunken ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ screaming "YOLO WIN!"

5: IF you complete a successful yolo charge, you must say yolo in chat at least once!

yolo charging is a fun troll move, but if you practice with it you can actually make it an effective tactic.

P.S. when proposing a yolo charge to your comrades some might look at you or speak to you in an upset manner. They arent really upset! They are just shocked by your brilliance as a leader and will undoubtedly follow you into combat.

2nd P.S. If you propose a yolo charge and someone whole-heartedly agrees, STAY AWAY from them! It is likely that you found the local troll who would rather tk 8 people and get 1 kill than get zero kills

Do all of this and you will be an effective yoloer!

Good luck!
