@Neville Mostly because: A. They see that your mashing space bar (your revive icon flickers) B. There are enemies around (You wouldn't believe the amount of idiots that demand me to suicide rush in to revive when they have 5 enemies at their body) C. They just have given up revives because everyone skips it or they're just new to the game, which happens but hopefully these will learn.
I know right? I have to play medic because everyone else is so bad at it on my team usually. I'll be a medic halfway through the game and still get most revives and on the top of the leaderboard.
BFViking Tru but only when the situation is right. Not every death warrants a revive especially when it could kill you and the guy u revive that's a pro tip ☺
tips for medics...if the icon above a dead team member is flashing they are skipping the revive. so don't rush over to revive them they may just be trying to save you from getting killed. revive the guys with a solid icon above their corpse's.
Pro Tips: If you're a Medic and see the Revive Icon flashing, don't rush in. Either the dead guy is an idiot, he's trying to save you from an ambush, or he just wants to change his class. I skip revive if I know the Medic will die if he tries to save me. So don't think that badly of Revive Skippers, maybe they're just trying to save your skin so you can be useful elsewhere.
Here's a pro tip! If you go prone before a cavalryman manages to slash at you with his sword you'll actually dodge it. You can however still die from being trampled by a horse though so watch out.
I don't mean there aren't enough buttons in general, I mean there isn't enough buttons because this game already uses all of the buttons available. To further my point, try to change your spot button to a useless button on your controller in the game.
thats to button to open doors, use turrets and pretty much used every 5 seconds and i don't feel like accidently putting a bayonet every time i miss the button to open a door.
It's cool you can blow the doors up but EA needs to allow players with the wrench to repair them like how you could repair bridges in other battlefield games, tried last night and you can't fix the doors after they are destroyed
People have no idea how important this is for their team and how it can also hurt the team. I've sent some of the squad leaders messages to unlock the squad but they say no....like wtf?!
Stig Player This is soooo good to me when playing the enemy though. So many squad wipes! Hate it when its our team though because they are essentially just giving points away.
When you die, DONT FUCKING SKIP AHEAD IF YOU SEE A MEDIC COMING RIGHT AT YOU. I've died probably 1000 times because of 11 year olds with add who can't wait an extra 10 seconds for me to revive them
... and I'm still waiting to get a revive ... :-) ... I often skip if I'm getting shot from multiple directions, just to give an explanation why somebody wanna die. Could be you died cause there are enemies - don't try to rambo-revive. I think the symbol flashes if you push the skip-button - seen it several times. Just be aware of it.
If you've hit the spot button too many times it goes into a cool down mode, that is why it doesn't work every time. It keeps people from spamming the spot button and it working like it did in bf4.
that glitch has been since years, i still remember getting it in bf3.. I bet you might have and amount of button touches per time, otherwise you will press the spot button like crazy around the map
+Jeff B-c No he didn't... He's already in the main menu, and will be there for some time. EA asked me to make those videos specifically for that, this video they did not.
A really, REALLY useful mechanic for reviving teammates while being fired upon is to pull out a sliding revive. The sliding mechanic is being featured in many videos for cool takedowns, such as sliding collateral kills (XfactorGaming), or sliding hipfire kills (JackFrags), but none have ever mentioned a sliding revive before. Which is really helpful, not only for throwing people off their lead while attempting a revive while fired upon, but also to keep you alive and on the move while actually pulling out the revives.
Pro tip when using sub machine guns and machine guns the recoil setting is actually very useful, for instance if you are sprinting and a player is of in the distance set the recoil to left so you don't have to aim for them the recoil will give you more shots,another one is get used to or find a good scope setting for snipers it will help you and it will also let you unlock the class rank 10 weapons a lot faster
Tip: Use the spot button at one of your own medics if you need health. If your need ammo, you can also it on support players. A flashing, blacks bubble will appear over your head. Also, medics and support players - be aware of that!
Slide when cornering, it makes you a smaller and faster target, but you can still shoot. put the gas mask on before throwing the gas if you are going to rush towards the gas, you will save some time and you will may catch the enemy putting their gas mask or retreating. limpy charge can be used to do some damage on enemies that are chasing you and can be used to take down buildings. in amiens, you can destroy some higher buildings rooftops with mortars, allowing you to kill shooters in-door behind your cover.
If you are support, support your team with ammo! Dozens of times I had press I need ammo like 20 times before the player got it and gave me some ammo. And sometimes even that doesnt work , you literally have to jump around them and smack them so they finally realize
Pro tip: when sniping do not look directly at your enemy especially other snipers when aiming down your scope. This will help reduce your scope glare from them spotting you and give you the edge to get the drop on them till they are looking the other way or give you time to line up the shot for those long range bullet drops. I did this on previous bf games and always worked and as of now seems to be working on this one too. I probably screwed myself giving this out but helps those who love sniping haha
One pro tip that will improve your game is changing the size and on foot zoom radius of the mini-map. 1) you get more info from the mini-map 2) you can actually see the people you/teammates spot with flare guns 3) for advanced players even use the mini-map to estimate distance to enemy for better positioning yourself to capitalize on the "sweet-spot" mechanic for bolt action rifles.
I have another Pro Tip: When someone is camping in a house or on a roof you can thow a limpet charge inside, or shoot at a AT Mine to blow up the WHOLE building (and it doesn't even matter if you place it on the 1st or 2nd floor). ;)
They might have been obvious for you, but there are plenty of other people in the comments who didn't know these tips. Next episode I'll be featuring a lot of the tips from this comments section, so do you have anything to add? :)
While laying prone seems like a great idea, and it might be in small amounts, staying there will almost insure your enemy gets a headshot once you're spotted. So, dive to reload/take cover for a short time/or rechamber, but get up and at em quick as possible.
The revive icon will blink if the player that is down is holding down the spacebar. Prevents medics from risking their lives for a revive if they see a downed player skipping a revive.
Westie please feature this in the next episode and it's the slide. Sliding around corners or in front of enemies will change your stance and make you a harder target to hit. The enemy will never expect you to slide beneath them and this works really well with a good hip fire weapon. Numerous times I have out played someone with this trick and I don't see much of it on the Battlefield. Loved the video man :)
I've got one for bolt actions. If you load a K bullet, shoot, then quickly switch back to normal rounds, you can fire off another shot faster for that follow-up. It may not actually be faster but it definitely seems it
I really like the underground bunker doors with the little slot to the side, just get one flame trooper in the outermost section and you're golden, and worse case scenario you can just retreat another door back and repeat the process.
Another tip for crossing water. When crossing water you might swim if the water is deep enough, like on Fao Fortress there are many streams and you usually sail through them which delays shooting if you see an enemy. Instead when crossing look up while running and you will just run across.
Pro tip. If you are attacking on operation as an ground solider, grab some dynamite and blow up the enemy AA guns that you can reach. It really helps out decent friendly pilots, which can help out alot to move up on objectives. great video btw Westie :)
Protip: Play your class correctly. As Assault it is your job to take out vehicles, as a Medic it is your job to revive and heal teammates and as Support GIVE AMMO FOR F*CK SAKE!!!
I found that by holding the grenade button down for a little longer, you'll cook the grenade and throw it farther than just tapping the grenade release button. Works well with frag grenades and anti-tank grenades as well!
Not sure if this qualifies but I find the AT mines are really under used, when defending you can plant all 3 by a flag/cap point and they will destroy any vehicle and it's crew instantly. When the land ship is fully loaded with a 6 man crew it's a huge momentum swing for your team. The best part is that they stay where you plant them even if you're killed. They do a nice job on the armored train also.
Don't forget even your normal guns do damage to planes, given that they're close enough and you actually hit them. You can easily do 15-20 damage to a plane flying over you if you have a normal 30 round gun. And to the snipers, use your K bullets on armored vehicles or planes. Lots of damage and easy kills/points if other snipers are doing it too!
Knee slide, where was knee slide it has got to be my favorite new mechanic in battlefield. use it to slide into cover or slide around corners for a cheeky take down. love it. great vid man keep it up
Pro tip- In operations, when retreating, place down all mines, tripwire bombs, grenades, etc, so that they can kill the enemy in their own sector when they think they're safe. Plus you get all of your ammo replenished so there won't be a penalty for using most of it (unless you die in the process)
Pro Tip: When near an area of the map that is typically favored by other players such as a flag or narrow pathway do not sprint although it is tempting to get where you want to as quickly as possible it does increase the time it takes to aim substantially if you just walk you will have an extra second or two to shoot at an enemy that comes around a corner giving you the edge in the gunfight. Also be sure when walking through a door or around a wall to check your corners or you run the risk of being shot in the back.
Pro tip of Xbox one Ik this because that my system if your a medic you can press RB and it will throw a medical pack to who ever is in need of Heath which is really helpful in getting those player across a hallway or street you can simply throw a medical pack across the map the help your team ! Try it
Hi Westie, not sure if it's common knowledge or not.. But a tip that I find myself doing a lot, is that it can be a useful tactic to get on a vacant horse, throw down some ammo and health ... Jump back off and refill flares .. It's extremely handy in operation mode :)
hey westie can you maybe do a short vid about the best magification for various wep. for example i was having no luck with the mondragon storm at 2x mag but when i switched to 1.25 its heeps better. also can you weigh in to directional recoil?
dive bombing with the attack plane is the only way to go, plus you really don't have to aim down the bomb sights to get hits, the bombs will fall pretty much right where you're aiming at the ground
I tip I used in the beta and still today, when you're sniping in houses with wooden doors or windshields, shoot a hole in one of the corners, it's great for sniping because from your view, it's wide open, but from an enemies view, you're almost impossible to hit, also give some distance from the door and youre almost impossible to see
Pro Tip: The Shield on the backside of the Ligthtank has an modfier so you take less dmg than you get hit, so always drive backwards. Makes the Ligthtank even stonger;)
When playing conquest, or any capture point related mode, watch the half circle above the flag letter, there you can see how many enemy players are still around, it might be obvious but most don't seem to know because i keep running into players who help take it and leave while the circle clearly states there are enemies around.
Another little bug I've found with the bayonet. If you charge and get into a tank, it doesn't play the animation, you get in Immediately. This comes in handy when you're getting shot at.
This might be an obvious tip, but something I see people not doing, is using the bayonet charge against sentry units(at a sensible distance of course). It might be a noob tip or whatever, but my time in game I rarely see it. The only Sentry unit so far that is nearly impossible to do this against is the SMG one. Like people just try to out gun them face to face, but at the current rate of their damage output you are better off charging instead of shooting. To add also try sneaking behind them and charging them, I'm only giving tips to those who feel hopeless when facing a sentry unit 1 on 1, some instances it's a sacrifice but I feel like it's a good one. I'm also aware of gas nades being useful on some units and shooting the back of the flame unit. Plus I'll admit I feel bad ass when I do successful takedowns against sentry units.
The bayonet does NOT affect recoil but it does affect the time it takes to bring your weapon up out of a sprint. I know what it says but this is DICE so...
A pro tip is to change the settings of the minimap. So it gets a bit bigger and zoomed out, so you actually can use it. Options then gameplay settings, scroll down to HUD. My settings, on foot zoom 160, vehicle zoom 200 and flight zoom 400. Ur welcome. ;)
Use the anti tank rifle to blow up buildings for some nice anti camper and anti sniper kills, or at least just get them out of their hiding spots, and use gas grenades to disable the accuracy of scouts on close quarters maps
Pro Tip: see a group of team mates attacking an area hard? Get into the habit of throwing random health packs and ammo packs in to help. This'll help your team and give you a good amount of XP over time
Give order on a blue objective gives points for defense. While playing Rush mode there is a defense timer if an order is given on a blue objective; 200 points and can be repeated over and over.
pro tip: if u bayonet charge without stabbing an enemy u cannot sprint during the cool down as opposed to if you do stab an enemy you can sprint right during the cool down. ALSO super helpful: if you are using a console controller, you can cancel a charge by clicking the left stick down(toward you) and you will stop the charge short. happy killing.
If playing as cavalry, when you have the sword out, the standard shoot button swings the sword to the right, while the melee button swings it to the left. Confirmed on PS4, not sure about pc.
Hey westie, learnt a couple of things from that video thanks, it would be great to see you do a war stories video once a week, I subscribed to THE GREAT WAR channel over a year ago and it's fantastic but lacking the individual touch, it would be cool if you could tell us more about the actual men and women who fought. I know that that is quite a time consuming ask but it will add a lot more depth to a great game especially if it's a short series and each video concentrates on stories from each map in BF1. All the best mate, and I'll catch you. . . . In the next video.
Pro tip: the objective where he shows the bunker door if its full if enemys use a at rocket gun or grenades and hit the artilery shells in the stacks they all explode killing everyone
Pro tip : Don't use vehicles just to get somewhere faster, they are really important and if used well they can be a good thing for your team
bruno silva depends on what vehicle
bruno silva well he is obviously speaking about everything but the jeeps and armoured trucks.
bruno silva you got that from 10 things only noobs do in battlefield one
even jeep can be very usefull if team works together
wDarkNeSSw not really, weak af and the machine gun on them is ass
Heres a pro tip: Dont skip revive! It rewards both u and ur team.
(It rewards u if you get revived)
Exactly, it helps your team when you need to save tickets on operations
Ozzy what if I want to switch classes or guns?
Ozzy That's if they revive u which most probably they don't.
@Neville
Mostly because:
A. They see that your mashing space bar (your revive icon flickers)
B. There are enemies around (You wouldn't believe the amount of idiots that demand me to suicide rush in to revive when they have 5 enemies at their body)
C. They just have given up revives because everyone skips it
or they're just new to the game, which happens but hopefully these will learn.
Here's a great tip. when playing as medic REVIVE YOUR FUCKING TEAM
I know right? I have to play medic because everyone else is so bad at it on my team usually. I'll be a medic halfway through the game and still get most revives and on the top of the leaderboard.
BFViking Tru but only when the situation is right. Not every death warrants a revive especially when it could kill you and the guy u revive that's a pro tip ☺
A lot of medics don't carry syringes. Just the field crate and that rocket propeller rifle.
''rocket propeller rifle". i also like the headlight fluid gun. lol
Here are my pro tips:
* Heal your team
* Resupply your team
* Help your team
Pyke
Amen.
*revive your team
*spot flare so mortar campers can reign fire from above and actually be usefull
I think you're asking a little too much lol
I have loads of clips where I'm spamming the ammo/medic request just in front of a suppport/medic and get nothing, very funny...^^
Pro tip dont skip the revive menu
give this pepe a big f*cking baloon
K4rs _ correction, press the skip button only if a medic will be falling in to trap.
I rly dont understand why everyone is doing this...
YOU STILL HAVE TO WAIT THE SECONDS IN THE MENU ...
AlexSZ241 But you want if donr need to lead someone to dwath
This is so important people!!!!
tips for medics...if the icon above a dead team member is flashing they are skipping the revive. so don't rush over to revive them they may just be trying to save you from getting killed. revive the guys with a solid icon above their corpse's.
Pro Tips: If you're a Medic and see the Revive Icon flashing, don't rush in. Either the dead guy is an idiot, he's trying to save you from an ambush, or he just wants to change his class.
I skip revive if I know the Medic will die if he tries to save me. So don't think that badly of Revive Skippers, maybe they're just trying to save your skin so you can be useful elsewhere.
Krongfah Mahankalarp well said, I do the same if i know the medic will die.
good point
Krongfah Mahankalarp let three Medic make that judgement
Mackin Cheezy Gaming Can't help it when most Medics are idiots.
Krongfah Mahankalarp true. never thought of it that way. Thanks man!
Here's a pro tip! If you go prone before a cavalryman manages to slash at you with his sword you'll actually dodge it. You can however still die from being trampled by a horse though so watch out.
SuperTiberian I find that the horse normally jumps over the prone enemy?!
CrouxL's Corner Maybe you were by cover or something?
The bayonet should be an optional attachment that you can switch between in real time rather than a spawn customization.
No that makes you way too versatile.
fuminlikemumin that's a good point
That's how all attachments work in real life but there aren't enough buttons on console to set it up.
I don't mean there aren't enough buttons in general, I mean there isn't enough buttons because this game already uses all of the buttons available. To further my point, try to change your spot button to a useless button on your controller in the game.
thats to button to open doors, use turrets and pretty much used every 5 seconds and i don't feel like accidently putting a bayonet every time i miss the button to open a door.
Pro tip, stop playing Bf, like it's a COD game, K/D doesn't matter.
Help your squad/team: heal, resupply, repair vehicles, spot with the flare gun.
It's cool you can blow the doors up but EA needs to allow players with the wrench to repair them like how you could repair bridges in other battlefield games, tried last night and you can't fix the doors after they are destroyed
well ones with broken locks
Patrick Azzarella yeah I mean ones that are completely blown off. In other battlefield games you could repair bridges that were blown up
Yeah that would be a good addition!!
The Vegan Bear
The Vegan Bear well thats not realistic. the person isn't going to Fix a god damn door in the middle of war.
PRO TIP don't lock your squad when you have one or two persons please !
People have no idea how important this is for their team and how it can also hurt the team. I've sent some of the squad leaders messages to unlock the squad but they say no....like wtf?!
Exactly bro
It's because the game automatically locks the squads of people playing in a party. DICE needs to fix this.
Stig Player This is soooo good to me when playing the enemy though. So many squad wipes! Hate it when its our team though because they are essentially just giving points away.
I'm getting bf1 for Christmas I can't wait looks so fun
Impulse enjoy the level 100 colonels. They'll probably cross server snipe you.
AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH THAT WAS SO FUNNY
Destructocorps that's probably gonna be me
Destructocorps hahaha ok
Loopty Loop & Pull & Ur Shoes Are Lookin' Cool is there a free Christmas dlc
When you die, DONT FUCKING SKIP AHEAD IF YOU SEE A MEDIC COMING RIGHT AT YOU. I've died probably 1000 times because of 11 year olds with add who can't wait an extra 10 seconds for me to revive them
... and I'm still waiting to get a revive ... :-) ...
I often skip if I'm getting shot from multiple directions, just to give an explanation why somebody wanna die.
Could be you died cause there are enemies - don't try to rambo-revive.
I think the symbol flashes if you push the skip-button - seen it several times. Just be aware of it.
I do a lot of rambo revives, diving in with the syringe only for us both to die a second later haha
bjkerp haha, me too - just to get an extra time-frame to get out of misery - don't tell anybody ;-)
Westie: so the game has been out for a few weeks
Me: Laughs in 2019
Knew all of them, go like insanely advanced if thats possible. More specific map based tips
+sean rogers Sure thing!
Ok thanks mate
i was thinking the exact same thing
anyone else have a glitch when spotting enemies on ps4? sometimes it works, other times it does absolutely nothing.
chris d I can't even play the game so I don't know
yeah it feels a little but unresponsive
If the server is lagging spoting will not work.
If you've hit the spot button too many times it goes into a cool down mode, that is why it doesn't work every time. It keeps people from spamming the spot button and it working like it did in bf4.
that glitch has been since years, i still remember getting it in bf3.. I bet you might have and amount of button touches per time, otherwise you will press the spot button like crazy around the map
westie just made this video so that he can get his ass in the main memu
+Jeff B-c No he didn't... He's already in the main menu, and will be there for some time. EA asked me to make those videos specifically for that, this video they did not.
***** OK bb
lol so true
A really, REALLY useful mechanic for reviving teammates while being fired upon is to pull out a sliding revive.
The sliding mechanic is being featured in many videos for cool takedowns, such as sliding collateral kills (XfactorGaming), or sliding hipfire kills (JackFrags), but none have ever mentioned a sliding revive before.
Which is really helpful, not only for throwing people off their lead while attempting a revive while fired upon, but also to keep you alive and on the move while actually pulling out the revives.
Mega Pro Tip: Use the bloody stationary weapons! Especially the field guns, they are very useful!
David Johnsen very useful for an enemy sniper
Pro tip when using sub machine guns and machine guns the recoil setting is actually very useful, for instance if you are sprinting and a player is of in the distance set the recoil to left so you don't have to aim for them the recoil will give you more shots,another one is get used to or find a good scope setting for snipers it will help you and it will also let you unlock the class rank 10 weapons a lot faster
Tip: Use the spot button at one of your own medics if you need health. If your need ammo, you can also it on support players. A flashing, blacks bubble will appear over your head. Also, medics and support players - be aware of that!
Slide when cornering, it makes you a smaller and faster target, but you can still shoot.
put the gas mask on before throwing the gas if you are going to rush towards the gas, you will save some time and you will may catch the enemy putting their gas mask or retreating.
limpy charge can be used to do some damage on enemies that are chasing you and can be used to take down buildings.
in amiens, you can destroy some higher buildings rooftops with mortars, allowing you to kill shooters in-door behind your cover.
If you are support, support your team with ammo! Dozens of times I had press I need ammo like 20 times before the player got it and gave me some ammo. And sometimes even that doesnt work , you literally have to jump around them and smack them so they finally realize
Pro tip: when sniping do not look directly at your enemy especially other snipers when aiming down your scope. This will help reduce your scope glare from them spotting you and give you the edge to get the drop on them till they are looking the other way or give you time to line up the shot for those long range bullet drops. I did this on previous bf games and always worked and as of now seems to be working on this one too. I probably screwed myself giving this out but helps those who love sniping haha
One pro tip that will improve your game is changing the size and on foot zoom radius of the mini-map. 1) you get more info from the mini-map 2) you can actually see the people you/teammates spot with flare guns 3) for advanced players even use the mini-map to estimate distance to enemy for better positioning yourself to capitalize on the "sweet-spot" mechanic for bolt action rifles.
I have another Pro Tip: When someone is camping in a house or on a roof you can thow a limpet charge inside, or shoot at a AT Mine to blow up the WHOLE building (and it doesn't even matter if you place it on the 1st or 2nd floor). ;)
this video was really pointless westie. most of these were very obvious
They might have been obvious for you, but there are plenty of other people in the comments who didn't know these tips. Next episode I'll be featuring a lot of the tips from this comments section, so do you have anything to add? :)
i understand, just providing my thoughts. looking forward to the next video :D
Wasn't pointless to me
here's one keep your head on a sivel at all times
***** yeah basically. i was though
Maybe give a thorough explanation of how the artillery strikes work in Rush, DICE did a God awful job of explaining that.
rg03500 few things in Battlefield are as frustrating as seeing "Coordinates Sent to Artillery" twice in five seconds
Pro Tip: Have a working controller if on console. Pro Tip 2: Have good Internet
Great tips, perfect for a newbie like me ^^
BattlefrontUpdates heyyyyy battlefront updates!! big fan ;)
BattlefrontUpdates hey Elliot
BattlefrontUpdates hey m8
BattlefrontUpdates love your channel👍
you block me on twitter for wut reason
While laying prone seems like a great idea, and it might be in small amounts, staying there will almost insure your enemy gets a headshot once you're spotted. So, dive to reload/take cover for a short time/or rechamber, but get up and at em quick as possible.
Pro tip: the Support's primary weapon is the Mortar. LMGs are only to be used if you don't have a mortar
The revive icon will blink if the player that is down is holding down the spacebar. Prevents medics from risking their lives for a revive if they see a downed player skipping a revive.
Westie please feature this in the next episode and it's the slide. Sliding around corners or in front of enemies will change your stance and make you a harder target to hit.

Numerous times I have out played someone with this trick and I don't see much of it on the Battlefield. Loved the video man :)
The sliding after running, it's very cool and useful especially when you need to revive in a crowded area, but I don't see many people doing.
I've got one for bolt actions. If you load a K bullet, shoot, then quickly switch back to normal rounds, you can fire off another shot faster for that follow-up. It may not actually be faster but it definitely seems it
I really like the underground bunker doors with the little slot to the side, just get one flame trooper in the outermost section and you're golden, and worse case scenario you can just retreat another door back and repeat the process.

Protip: Play your class correctly. As Assault it is your job to take out vehicles, as a Medic it is your job to revive and heal teammates and as Support GIVE AMMO FOR F*CK SAKE!!!
TheKims yup
Some of the bunkers have shells that a well placed grenade can cause a huge explosion decimating the enemy.
I found that by holding the grenade button down for a little longer, you'll cook the grenade and throw it farther than just tapping the grenade release button. Works well with frag grenades and anti-tank grenades as well!
Not sure if this qualifies but I find the AT mines are really under used, when defending you can plant all 3 by a flag/cap point and they will destroy any vehicle and it's crew instantly. When the land ship is fully loaded with a 6 man crew it's a huge momentum swing for your team. The best part is that they stay where you plant them even if you're killed. They do a nice job on the armored train also.
Don't forget even your normal guns do damage to planes, given that they're close enough and you actually hit them.

Knee slide, where was knee slide it has got to be my favorite new mechanic in battlefield. use it to slide into cover or slide around corners for a cheeky take down. love it. great vid man keep it up
Pro tip: don't use the factory or low-weight variants of a weapon.
(Unless it's the hellriegel)
I keep the bayonet equipped for the sole reason that it's easier to kill sentries with it
*picks up a flamethrower* oooh people are gonna fry XD
*hears yelling*
*looks around and gets stabbed by charge*
-______-
I get salty af
I feel bad every time I do that to somebody who just grabbed an elite class a second ago.
i get salty af i wanna go tho their and just break his whole gaming on his head
Pro tip- In operations, when retreating, place down all mines, tripwire bombs, grenades, etc, so that they can kill the enemy in their own sector when they think they're safe. Plus you get all of your ammo replenished so there won't be a penalty for using most of it (unless you die in the process)
Tip: Picking up an Elite class kit will replenish your health fully. Equip it as a strategy for survival and holding the objectives near to the kits.
Pro Tip: When near an area of the map that is typically favored by other players such as a flag or narrow pathway do not sprint although it is tempting to get where you want to as quickly as possible it does increase the time it takes to aim substantially if you just walk you will have an extra second or two to shoot at an enemy that comes around a corner giving you the edge in the gunfight. Also be sure when walking through a door or around a wall to check your corners or you run the risk of being shot in the back.
Pro tip of Xbox one Ik this because that my system if your a medic you can press RB and it will throw a medical pack to who ever is in need of Heath which is really helpful in getting those player across a hallway or street you can simply throw a medical pack across the map the help your team ! Try it
Hi Westie, not sure if it's common knowledge or not.. But a tip that I find myself doing a lot, is that it can be a useful tactic to get on a vacant horse, throw down some ammo and health ... Jump back off and refill flares .. It's extremely handy in operation mode :)
When you're on defense on monte grappa, you can use the mounted heavy machine guns on the mountainside to easily destroy the guns on the blimp
hey westie can you maybe do a short vid about the best magification for various wep. for example i was having no luck with the mondragon storm at 2x mag but when i switched to 1.25 its heeps better. also can you weigh in to directional recoil?
dive bombing with the attack plane is the only way to go, plus you really don't have to aim down the bomb sights to get hits, the bombs will fall pretty much right where you're aiming at the ground
I tip I used in the beta and still today, when you're sniping in houses with wooden doors or windshields, shoot a hole in one of the corners, it's great for sniping because from your view, it's wide open, but from an enemies view, you're almost impossible to hit, also give some distance from the door and youre almost impossible to see
yeah I hope that's a tip for Team Death match...
Pro Tip:
The Shield on the backside of the Ligthtank has an modfier so you take less dmg than you get hit, so always drive backwards.
Makes the Ligthtank even stonger;)
Your tips always help me, especially in bf4 when I started sniping
Keybind yaw up for planes to something like the E button, which makes it alot easier to turn around!
When playing conquest, or any capture point related mode, watch the half circle above the flag letter, there you can see how many enemy players are still around, it might be obvious but most don't seem to know because i keep running into players who help take it and leave while the circle clearly states there are enemies around.
Also if the enemy hops out a tank if you hop in with the repair tool for support you can internal repair,just if you didnt know im posting this
Patrick Azzarella Do you need to have the tool in hand?
CrouxL's Corner No just as a gadget
Pro tip: another solution to tip#1 on pc would be to change the key binding for one of them
sometimes getting out of a vehicle and repairing it using the wrench is faster, than sitting inside it pressing x
Leo Onhisphone it is but there are risk that your teamate steals your tank or enemy shoots you.
Tip: Use the AA Sigth on LMGs, is a hell lot easier to aim with it than with the standard iron sights
Another little bug I've found with the bayonet. If you charge and get into a tank, it doesn't play the animation, you get in Immediately. This comes in handy when you're getting shot at.
pro tip - use bolt actions, they're beast, and adds a whole different playing style, whilst respecting the time period at the same time
This might be an obvious tip, but something I see people not doing, is using the bayonet charge against sentry units(at a sensible distance of course). It might be a noob tip or whatever, but my time in game I rarely see it. The only Sentry unit so far that is nearly impossible to do this against is the SMG one. Like people just try to out gun them face to face, but at the current rate of their damage output you are better off charging instead of shooting.
To add also try sneaking behind them and charging them, I'm only giving tips to those who feel hopeless when facing a sentry unit 1 on 1, some instances it's a sacrifice but I feel like it's a good one. I'm also aware of gas nades being useful on some units and shooting the back of the flame unit. Plus I'll admit I feel bad ass when I do successful takedowns against sentry units.
The bayonet does NOT affect recoil but it does affect the time it takes to bring your weapon up out of a sprint. I know what it says but this is DICE so...
good video. you can also blow up the castle walls (some parts) to gain access where the enemy might not expect it.
A pro tip is to change the settings of the minimap. So it gets a bit bigger and zoomed out, so you actually can use it. Options then gameplay settings, scroll down to HUD. My settings, on foot zoom 160, vehicle zoom 200 and flight zoom 400. Ur welcome. ;)
Thanks for the Pro Tips, Westie!
really enjoying the daily content Westie! You have become my go to UA-cam channel for bf1
Pro tip: you can still climb the canyon on sinai desert after the bridge/arc gets destroyed by vaulting over the ruble on the right side when climbing
1:05 OMFG you just changed my life! XD
3:07
That soldier deserves a scumbag of the year award
Use the anti tank rifle to blow up buildings for some nice anti camper and anti sniper kills, or at least just get them out of their hiding spots, and use gas grenades to disable the accuracy of scouts on close quarters maps
you can also repair a blown door with a wrench.
Pro Tip: see a group of team mates attacking an area hard? Get into the habit of throwing random health packs and ammo packs in to help. This'll help your team and give you a good amount of XP over time
Knew most of it but I had no idea about the bayonet...
Not gonna be equipping those anymore because I don't even use it anyways. Thanks Westie!
Tip if 2 people pick up a "hero" class like flamethrower dude at the same time they both get it. It worked in the open beta but now I don't know.
Great Video, learnt something ! Ideas for next episodes : Waiting for revives; unlock squad; how to chose the good tank version
Give order on a blue objective gives points for defense. While playing Rush mode there is a defense timer if an order is given on a blue objective; 200 points and can be repeated over and over.
Kha Lee Same with all game modes with stuff like that
when I get a battlefield 1 ad before the video, I just let it play
Good video westie. Keep up the good work
Spot the damn enemies!!! I don't know if it is the case on PC, but I feel that players are not spotting the enemies enough on console.
Revive teammates. Make sure the threat is taking care of, because it is annoying getting revived only to get shot to pieces again. 😎😂
pro tip: if u bayonet charge without stabbing an enemy u cannot sprint during the cool down as opposed to if you do stab an enemy you can sprint right during the cool down. ALSO super helpful: if you are using a console controller, you can cancel a charge by clicking the left stick down(toward you) and you will stop the charge short. happy killing.
If playing as cavalry, when you have the sword out, the standard shoot button swings the sword to the right, while the melee button swings it to the left. Confirmed on PS4, not sure about pc.
dat slide doe! I have melted so many corner campers slinging around corners.
Hey westie, learnt a couple of things from that video thanks, it would be great to see you do a war stories video once a week, I subscribed to THE GREAT WAR channel over a year ago and it's fantastic but lacking the individual touch, it would be cool if you could tell us more about the actual men and women who fought. I know that that is quite a time consuming ask but it will add a lot more depth to a great game especially if it's a short series and each video concentrates on stories from each map in BF1. All the best mate, and I'll catch you. . . . In the next video.
+Dale Matthews This is a great idea Dale, thank you for the suggestion :)
Also, thanks for watching 😀👍
I had no idea about the retreat mechanics, thank you 😊
Good tip on how to get in doors that are normally locked. That was very helpful! 👍
The artillery truck can be loaded with an AA gun, nice when the blimp comes out
Try and spam the crouch buttton while sprinting, it makes you a lot more harder to hit and you lose almost no speed.
Here's a great tip a medic crate can protect you from grenade damage but not projectile damage
3:00 watch him take the flag without marking it as a squad leader
Pro tip: the objective where he shows the bunker door if its full if enemys use a at rocket gun or grenades and hit the artilery shells in the stacks they all explode killing everyone
Wow, real pro tips here. I'm tired of those beginners tips i've known for ages
