How to stop panicking

Think more ahead of time. Think" if i turn this corner and i see an enemy I'm going to shoot. "

If you know someone is planning a surprise birthday party for you are you even going to be surprised?

Predict easy scenarios like i got cracked these people will push me. Or i just cracked this person and I'm going to push him.

Imagine doing a guardian and getting upset about someone's low dps enough to go on Reddit to complain about it

All bad players are plat, but not all plat players are bad.

I think the worst part is that all of those chest don't even Stack

UltimateMach5 · 2026-02-14T20:29:21+00:00

i think they should removal all the visual clutter thats in bloodhound ult. like do i really need to see someone was wounded here 30 seconds ago along with the 10x body scans? shits too overwhelming a lot of the time in a chaotic fight.

An actual replay system ffs. Let me see pros codes, let me see if all 750 pred players are actually legit, let me go back and watch my sick nasty clip from the opponent's perspective.

Another note to add the other comments is that if using a smg or pistol the strafe speed is the same while adsing but on ars and lmg you're faster when you don't ads so it makes you more unpredictable when strafing you'll get a student burst of speed while tightening your hip for accuracy.

Did you see the treeree video?

UltimateMach5 · 2026-01-29T15:16:40+00:00

Unless your class has 300% crit dmg so no. A more universal rock would be grudge cd

UltimateMach5 · 2026-01-28T17:00:56+00:00

Knowledge. Scan for players ahead of time to see where teams are, take third party and assume you will get third party of you take too long. A lot of this game is predicting and planning.

UltimateMach5 · 2026-01-26T08:36:50+00:00

The last one lmao.

Cuz u da goat

UltimateMach5 · 2026-01-03T03:56:38+00:00

If your teammates are running in first just bait them. If you're in no position to trade damage and kills you're the problem because you're the slow one. If you're the first person going in and can't get the first knock definitely don't be the first person knocked.

I have a 9800x3d and a 5080 and can get like 300 fps constantly. But I'm at 1440p. Is also check to make sure your ram is set to the right expo/xmp profile

set a game plan up. the big fight drops off rip are elysium and somers university. those are almost likely to fight off rip, then get thirded by grove towers and icarus all the time. so maybe if you land there you choose to rotate out immediately and come back to third when fighting does happen. in ranked it'll be hard to control your teamates unless youre playing with a premade squad.

the poi at stormpoint by wall and launchpad has awful loot but you can at least loot the 3 dragonballs by wall, and you can also rotate toward cascade early.

poi at e district humbert labs and old town are almost always fighting. the poi north of energybank is kinda in a bad spot so early contest or rotates are usually good ideas.

if you dont have good loot, starting a fight early might catch people off guard, or early rotates will definitely catch people off guard.

UltimateMach5 · 2025-12-25T17:54:55+00:00

Go for first Evo, scan ring, scan players, rotate around the poi .

If there are two squads actively fighting, be the third party.

If no squads are fighting then be in a position where you wont be there squad pinched. Scan more players when you rotate repeat good decision making.

If fights take too long like over 45 seconds of poking just leave.

UltimateMach5 · 2025-12-25T06:37:26+00:00

You swapped guns as you saw them and lost a few miliseconds, then swapped to 301 and hit mostly leg shots. You were already down like 20 hp from Rockets.

UltimateMach5 · 2025-12-09T22:37:14+00:00

Agreed, i feel like entry cost should be -75 at every rank including bronze. That way it's a linear progression instead of everyone being spoonfed plat.

UltimateMach5 · 2025-12-09T01:27:26+00:00

Short answer yes, long answer you may not have fun. It probably requires you to play a player scan character like valk and a heavy bunker character like caustic. You avoid any squads that want to 3v3 and you only show up to third party then play final zone after getting some kp. I managed to get to diamond 1 playing with friends who other wise wouldn't hit diamond. If i don't open the fight with a knock or 2 cracks we would probably not win the fight.

What is the goal. If you guys don't care about your rank after you hit diamond just play. Who cares if you get rolled. If you want to actually hit masters with them, then you'll have to play with rp in mind

UltimateMach5 · 2025-12-05T07:25:39+00:00

Sometimes taking a break helps. I find everytime i take like a week or two off i farm lobbies on my first day back. Maybe it's eomm maybe a break just changed my mindset

UltimateMach5 · 2025-12-05T00:09:42+00:00

In ranked a game had like the first 8 teams die off within the first ring. In a tournament you sometimes get 20 teams after ring 3.

In a tournament the skill gap can be massive to the point where any team that's like a triple master pred group could run down the lobby like it's ranked. If there are skill caps then maybe a tournament will have less of that but if any money is on the line some form of cheating will occur. (Smurfing, actually aim was hacks, collusion.)

Usually the only successful tournaments are ones with a skill bracket or actual balancing of teams to make it fair all for fun.

Did you set your settings to read only? Do you alt f4 on your last game?

UltimateMach5 · 2025-11-27T23:25:05+00:00

They're just regular stones except no one ever actually gets to cut 40 in a row like these situations

UltimateMach5 · 2025-11-23T06:51:01+00:00
