why did no one tell me not to buy the starter edition approximately two hours ago

If it's on Steam get a refund before you put any more time on it. Do this right now.

I went with the 9$ version since I don't think I'll be playing this more then occasionally with friends, I ended up having ash and smoke for my freebies which seem to be good, thinking I'll unlock rook and blitz as my next two.

Two questions, are there any tips or guides or map layouts for newbies to checkout and is there any recommendation for good recruit loadouts because I can't seem to see what the recruits can actually do besides the 30 seconds between games.

I have been learning from VarsityGaming on YouTube.

On a personal note, ever since I started playing more aggressive I've been killing a lot more. I got my first ace because I flanked with a suppressor and was able to clean up the remaining guys after. Confidence kills. :kamina:

Also, it's going to be really tough unlocking characters since you have the starter edition. :/

Every time I try to like this game it throws out some other poo poo at me. So I learn suppressors are bad. Great, I'm winning duels now. Except here comes a team of pubbies pushing outside and actually killing us in spawn. It's beyond frustrating trying to get a grasp of this game.

Protip: stop playing Casual.
The way people play in Casual and the way people play in Ranked is wildly different.

Is this like CS:GO where playing ranked is the only real way to play?

Buffing the entire team (even after death) and having one of the best guns in the game on top of being incredibly accessible is a pretty strong argument for Rook.

Is there a site for best “builds” for characters? That might be too inside baseball lol.

Also I’ll stop asking dumb questions but how does discord work with Xbox? Or is it a way to find other goons in Xbox?

There's weapon attachment guides out there. I've actually really wanted to make a site or app with builds and team compositions.

u should just start playing Ranked as soon as u can once you've got basics down imo...ppl in Casual kinda already play like psychos so you'll have to relearn some stuff just 4 (in my experience) the different pace of Ranked
If any1 complains simply play DukeNukemBlowItOutYourAss.wav & you'll b efine

I want at least two team mates I can play with often for ranked. Gonna start that this week.

Thief posted:

anyone can hop in ranked matches and if they are even regularly playing for the objective at all it will put them in at least silver with solo queing no matter how bad you are. for reference, bronze through gold is where most casual players are and the only reasons that anyone will ever drop below Copper III are because they are incredibly unlucky or actually somehow worse than a person using a gamepad on PC.

putting off the entire mode to the side because you are waiting for people to play with is just preventing yourself from enjoying the actual best part of the entire game :shrug:


yeah it's a nice addition to her having already had the best DMR/Shotgun/SMG options in the entire game. defenders will never kill their own flat cams or evil eyes btw

Next stream I'll do it. Ranked it is.

Anyone got any good Valkyrie tips? I really like playing her and placing her cameras but I don’t get as many points off them as I do like Mute traps

Points don't matter. Only thing that matters is winning. In fact, going for points can cost you in the long run, such as tagging an enemy when you can easily describe their location.

Thanks for tips guys. I think my two “mains” are Fuze and Valkyrie right now. Wish I knew how to play Frost better tho I like the idea of traps.

Using Frost traps alongside barbed wire is really effective. And even if they aren't snared by the trap, they have to make noise to destroy it. Think outside the box!

I like to play UNIVERSE BRAIN frost by going to a window and pretending im an attacker pushing the room, and then placing a trap at a point they might strafe into to get an angle on a common spot. This works far more often than window mats for me at my level.

What skill level would that be?

Also hope you're doing good these days

Oh hey thanks man, it's been good to see you streaming and poo poo. Happy for ya.
I haven't done ranked this season but last season I was Gold 4/Plat 1 depending on weather.

The stream has been super rewarding. Spending time learning R6 and trying to come up with new tech is really awesome. Much better than being in Alabama. :)

I want to get to high gold/platinum so I can really learn about this game. I still need to find a group of regulars to play with.

They still have the issue where if any part of your hitbox is behind static geometry between you and the flashbang, it doesn't matter if you look straight at it you won't get flashed. Instead of fixing this they opted to make a single operate able to flash people and ignore the rest. Which makes it doubly stupid they're removing someone's useful gadget in favor of a useless one.

So if a flasbang can see the entire person it'll flash no matter what? Wtf
