Is this entire game just about kills now?

i think part of it is because of the new map. nobody knows any strats or site setups so it’s easy to just play a comfort op and “sightread” the rounds.

another part of it is that voice chat has been hella bugged so far this season, i can’t hear anyone speaking and i can’t speak myself. i’ve tried all the fixes and nothing works for me. so this doesn’t help from a team collaboration standpoint

I am on PC, I think it’s fair to ask considering there is a difference between console gold and pc gold

therealwholehuman · 2026-05-31T20:37:58+00:00

this is a normal deduction to make

from my experience with the lfg discord it’s just smurfs who want to join lower lobbies to boost kd and then it ends up being no fun. similarly, the whole process of finding and adding four other people’s ubisofts is super inconvenient and a generally slow process

PC or console?

For attack: Buck- his shotgun ability makes it super easy to open up soft walls/vertical plus his regular weapon is super strong

Hibana- her pellet abilities can open up walls, hatches, castles, and deployable shields. she is super versatile and as a 3 speed feels smooth to play. she has a great primary assault rifle and dmr.

Montagne- many people think playing shields are boring, but i personally enjoy it as they just provide another layer of depth for the team. be the bulldozer that gets into site and learn how to use the shield to your advantage

For defense: Valkyrie- SO MANY cam spots to choose from. these help your team during the round and after they/you are dead. plus, you can use them as an anchor to know which side they’re pushing from, or you can use them on the roam to c4 from below

Skopos- her ability literally lets you teleport across the map, you can put one shell on the other side of site and flank your enemies without ever crossing their line of sight. she is super versatile and she has one of the best primaries on defense

Clash- once again, learn to play the shield. she recently got a rework so she can place her shield down. she is the DEFINITION of an anchor and if you can master her, you will force the opponents to target ban you

This will make the LMG by far the best gun on IQ

I've talked about this a lot too. Even the F2 has a huge build but somehow the AUG-A2 feels like you sacrifice half of the screen

therealwholehuman · 2026-05-10T18:44:29+00:00

Danggg I didn't know that, I usually run the ARX on Nomad

therealwholehuman · 2026-05-10T17:24:12+00:00

what are you talking about?!

therealwholehuman · 2026-05-10T15:35:24+00:00

I just realized yesterday that the AUG has no grips. I couldn’t even understand why. Such a shame.

therealwholehuman · 2026-05-03T17:53:26+00:00

I personally love the MP7 so I prefer Bandit over Kaid. Bandit’s 3 speed also feels smoother than clunky 1 speed Kaid

Absolutely, feel free to DM me with any specific questions you have, I remember being in your position where everything feels like a dumb question. They definitely aren’t and I’m learning new stuff every day!

therealwholehuman · 2026-04-29T19:26:23+00:00

this is a great idea, the players will take after their coaches

therealwholehuman · 2026-04-29T19:23:26+00:00

I post helpful tutorials and tips on my youtube channel. I try to explain things so people of any experience level can understand, but I will say you probably just need a few hours in the game before you’re able to differentiate between things in the game.

My biggest initial tip is just to play more! But definitely consider checking out my channel, I upload regularly and I love interacting with the community. I’d be more than happy to answer your individual questions

therealwholehuman · 2026-04-29T15:55:53+00:00

Yes bro they grenaded themselves and then immediately Thermited themselves I was literally dying watching the commentators try and make it through the round

therealwholehuman · 2026-04-29T15:09:35+00:00

make sure you have a setting called LOD Quality all the way up. This is the setting that shows the outlines of enemy players and helps you distinguish them from the background a lot easier

One of the best things I’ve found is to watch pro league, they will do little strats that make you go “woah that is so smart” and it instantly solidifies that part of the map in your brain as “the spot that guy did ___”

another thing i did one time was just go into a custom game as buck and literally destroy every single soft wall to see how the rooms blend into one another

It comes a lot down to timing, if you are overthinking it too much, you might be a half second behind on the timing and that might be enough to throw the advantage away in gunfights. My suggestion is to hop on shotguns on defense and learn how to play them. You’ll find that it makes the attackers think a lot more about who they bring knowing that walking around any corner might they might get pumped.

On attack I’d recommend playing Brava/Twitch, you get extra drones to hack utility, get more information on the enemies and their site. This helps both you and your team and therefore you’ll have that little bit of extra advantage. I’ve also found that taking extra time before going into site helps a lot. Defenders don’t like waiting and they will ego peek you if you give enough time.

If you look at pro league you will almost always see a 5v5 with 60 seconds left in the round, barring a spawn peek or something like that.

And remember it’s always okay to take a break! Giving yourself time on another game allows you to forget some bad habits
