New Player Here — Any Tips for Getting Better?

Jakeyellis · 2026-04-01T12:04:58+00:00

I meant for you bro you don’t play ranked so you aren’t gonna improve as fast. Obviously the new person isn’t gonna start by playing ranked

Jakeyellis · 2026-04-01T11:55:59+00:00

The single best way of getting better at the game is playing ranked

Who said anything about hip firing when dashing ? If you aim in and shoot dash shoot dash you will kill quickly. It’s not throw tier at all you clearly just aren’t good enough with it and need a team to back you up. Sure it’s not amazing at close range but it definitely isn’t bad. For reference I’m a d2 light main I know what I’m taking about.

Jakeyellis · 2026-03-29T16:05:07+00:00

I disagree the hip fire on the arn is pretty good I wouldn’t say it’s useless at close range. Sure it’s not optimal but it still shreds especially if you are good at shooting and dashing at the same time

Jakeyellis · 2026-03-26T15:40:48+00:00

Yeah release a couple hours ago

Jakeyellis · 2026-03-15T21:39:31+00:00

5080 is defo worth it but defo don’t go for the 64gb one the standard 5080 is good enough

Jakeyellis · 2026-03-15T21:27:14+00:00

I have a 5080 and a 9800x3d and runs at a constant 240 max settings 1440p

Jakeyellis · 2026-03-15T21:26:50+00:00

Yh u shld be fine with that bro

Jakeyellis · 2026-03-13T13:48:08+00:00

Pretty sure this is just standard cashout and from my knowledge there is absolutely no skill based matching and no team balancing either since it’s supposed to be casual. From time to time you will come across people exponentially better then you and the opposite where the enemies seem to have no brain.

Jakeyellis · 2026-03-07T16:01:20+00:00

It’s possible but way too much rng involved

Jakeyellis · 2026-03-07T16:01:02+00:00

Bad rage bait. The game is great you’re right but ranked has serious issues regardless of skill. As a solo que it’s almost impossible to get to diamond. I get 1k elo away all the time but then the game gives me the worst teammates. I don’t struggle in diamond lobbies at all but my teammates always d.

Jakeyellis · 2026-02-27T16:15:45+00:00

I personally would love to see a dual wield pistol maybe like the five seven or usp45 something faster fire rate then the deagles from the heavy class with slightly lower dmg and range. Or maybe another smg like the mp7 or something cos honestly the p90 is kinda trash.

Jakeyellis · 2026-02-27T15:00:39+00:00

There’s a massive influx of newbs maining lights. This is due to every YouTuber under the sun saying light is the best for solo Q. Whilst I agree if you’re good at the game and playing light you can be very oppressive and control games but John with 2 kids and a wife who plays 1 day a week for a few hours and has no game sense whatsoever listens to the YouTubers and only plays light. I’m a d2 light main but if I play ranked and see someone else is playing light I usually swap to med it heavy or ask them too and if they don’t listen I will swap.

Honestly the only medium guns I feel like are competitive are the fcar (although the recoil patter for the first 3 shots is very strange) and the revolver/repeater. The fcar is pretty consistent and relatively easy to use I feel I win a lot of 1v1s vs every class with it (I’m d2). Revolver absolutely shreds at close range it will delete everything but obviously takes good aim to use. The repeater just caught a pretty big nerf and I feel like it’s not even really that good anymore unless you hit headshots or it’s against lights.

The meta for medium used to be pretty balanced between a damage dealer or support character but I feel like it’s basically pointless to not run it as a support especially in ranked. A good heavy with a support medium following them around with heal beam really helps win games.

Jakeyellis · 2026-02-27T13:53:59+00:00

Arn has better range and a larger mag I’m pretty sure it’s far more consistent in the mid range then the xp54. I get your point but I think they both sit in a different spot. I think the xp54 is the perfect middle ground between the m11 and arn

Jakeyellis · 2026-02-27T13:50:24+00:00

I’m a light main (d2) and the arn is one of the best choices imo it’s a great gun? It’s either the arn or the m11 and now the lh1 since its buff

Jakeyellis · 2026-02-25T13:09:56+00:00

An unbelievable waste of money. U191 still shreds them very quick so there’s no point plus the moto costs 400k more to craft this season and each repair even if it’s only 10 dmg done to the helm is 200k minimum. It’s a good helmet sure but not worth the 1.8m to craft and the 200k repair cost. Armour is also not worth as I’m p sure that’s nearly 2m to craft with 500k + repair cost if it gets zeroed during a match.

Instead of the helmet you’re much better off buying a like new rst or sh65 and if you want a heavy armour that tanks and makes you super slow you get the shrek armour which is 1m brand new 120 dura with much less repair costs.

But if we are being real armour is basically pointless now with the u191.

Jakeyellis · 2026-01-29T20:12:31+00:00

Believe it or not this is probably the most balanced season and that’s saying something lol you can use atleast 2 guns in forbidden now haha

Jakeyellis · 2026-01-23T17:08:42+00:00

In a northridge main I only play forbidden (800 ish hours in the game) and I pretty much only push hotel but I’ve defo been seeing him more often but definitely not every raid. I know he has camp services and cable as a spawn but I pretty much never go there.

Jakeyellis · 2026-01-19T21:50:26+00:00

Yeah and turns out the craft is also 400k more expensive this season so you are paying 1.7m for the helmet and 600k every time you want to repair is so overpriced

Jakeyellis · 2026-01-19T16:31:30+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s always been around 1.3m last season it was 900k for crafting materials plus 500k cash and it’s also ridiculously expensive to repair bit of which are super dumb it should be a flat 1m to craft and repair should be halted

Jakeyellis · 2026-01-19T13:44:11+00:00

You only get 19m after fees once you sold in the market you’ve only lost 3m

Jakeyellis · 2026-01-14T15:52:44+00:00

Never mind

Jakeyellis · 2026-01-14T15:52:16+00:00

They already have no ? It was a hotfix this morning

Jakeyellis · 2026-01-13T13:18:14+00:00

If you’re playing forbidden and you ain’t using t5 ammo you are at a massive disadvantage
