Barely lvl 6 and still suck. But I am having fun. Last night I messed around as a scout. Man I am horrible. I have never used a sniper rifle in any game that I have played. Other than continue to play anyone have any tips to help me get better with my shots?

First BF game, right? There's a steep learning curve so stay with it. Stay with a squad. Learn bullet drop.

Each sniper rifle is different so you need to learn the sweet spot that was mentioned earlier. Practice aiming quicker and learn to lead your target. Its just going to take practice really.

Bullet speed timing and leading target.

Aslo, dont stress over KDR. there are many other ways to support a team win. Find a role and have fun.

[Woogiefied]

Not sure if it's been said but for those new to BF1, always start your own squad. That way you can issue commands to get bonus point for completing objectives, you get points even if you're not even near the objective/flag.

[wasp9166]

soooo many guns to unlock , in battlepacks etc, how the f do you know what's good

That is a great tip. So far I am enjoying be a mid range support guy. Liking medic and want to figure out how to snipe depending on the map. I started playing with support. It I like the idea of being able to heal myself and others. Survival is something I need sense I am not that great.

[TrancePhreak07]

ONly thing regarding joystick support I have seen so far. Idk if it will work for you, but give it a try.

Tried it, no luck so far....thanks though. Ill mess with it some more later and maybe it can get it working then.

[AndYUKnowThis]

Eh, it's not that bad. Guess I'm just overreacting. I don't really waste time shooting at folks near cover though

i prefer joining an almost full squad instead

dont much care about points and it gives me more mobile spawnpoints

also theres no point giving commands if theres near noone to follow them

newbies especially should just play with an existing and hopefully more experienced squad

[wasp9166]

after you unlock guns and gadgets etc,how do you chose them to use ?


can u just cycle thru them in match or do you have to chose your load out prior ?

You get points regardless if you are the only one in your squad.

You can cycle through them during the match, no need to load them out prior. You can purchase and change weapons/gadgets during the match.

But if you would like to save a preset just use the companion website or app. Customize it to your liking and maybe you only have to change 1 weapon during deploy than all of them....

[wasp9166]

is companion the only way to have an avatar?

is it just me, after match reading scoreboard seems very slow and laggy ,ps4, i barely have enough time to do what i want b4 next match starts and i don;t see a way to wait unless i option out and quit server

When you die, go to your loadouts and I'm thinking it'll be the triangle button for customize. Then you can change it from there, I play on xbox but usually the button layouts are the same, I have to press Y. This video explains it better than I can.

You hit the x to switch seats, can't pick which seat though, it's pre-programmed. You just keep hitting x until you're happy with where you want to be.

[Breen86]

ohh I just naturally assumed you were on PC lol. Didnt notice "press X to reload"

Assumed PC HUH!?

What are you saying?

Huh?

Like console players can't be GOATs!?

Huh?

Give me the best guns for each class. And if its a level 10 gun, whats the best to use before I get there?

Unlocking guns in battle packs? Aren't those just skins

I mainly run support because I am always running out of ammo. I use the madsen mg storm. It is really good mid range when you fire in quick 5 round bursts. Up close you can just mag dump. I do switch it up from time to time with assault to deal with tanks and to troll with the rocket gun. I use the automatico storm. It rapes everything up close. But you do run out of ammo really fast. I've noticed that the storm versions of guns have the least amount of spread so I only use those guns. Also I take off the bayonet because you can aim down sight significantly faster without one equipped.

For those of you with asus monitors you should really use the built in overlay. I just discovered this. You can draw a crosshair in the center of the screen with your monitor's built in settings. It makes ironsights so much easier to use. I was getting like 2-3 k/d in most matches before. Now I am getting consistently 4+ k/d with this on. It almost feels like cheating.

[iwant2beswole]

PC brahs what graphics card are you guys running? im having a rough time trying to play with a gtx 660 on low settings.

[wasp9166]

how do enemies get marked? sometimes i'll see a red x over a german but most of the time nothing

[Muniain]

That feel when squad leaders never give out orders

[wasp9166]

you mean the guns you get out of battlepacks from matches aren't real guns ? how do you get scrap from them then?


oh wait those aren't unlocked , my bad , i thought guns got unlocked from bp, it seems they got unlocked with war bonds?

[wasp9166]

When you're aiming more or less at an enemy you press Q, or scouts will shoot a flare that marks them.
