Lvl 500 here. Good points! To add:
-The subsonic rifles (Honey Badger and AS VAL) are very usefull if you're surrounded by enemies. Play good angles, pick them off one-by-one. An enemy would have to be almost right next to you to hear your gun go off, use that to your advantage.
-Unless you are hiding in a dark corner, an all black outfit will make you stand out more
-Mind the length of your gun. Your barrel could be sticking out of a corner/window or if you are too close to the wall your character might need an extra second to bring the weapon to a high ready position
-Don't stand directly in front of doors when opening them
-Lasers will give away your position/presence more than it will help your hipfire
-In Domination and the occasional Team Deathmatch, the enemy team will have a higher probability of spawning directly across the map from where most of your team is concentrated at. Note "higher probability", as it is not always going to be the case.
-If you are following a buddy into a room/area to clear it dont aim in the same direction as him; find another angle to sweep and clear, ideally an angle in his blind spot that he is most susceptible to
Thank you great one, you have lots of wisdom in the art of warfare.
FINALLY I hear someone else besides myself call the armor in this game useless... You have some insane quality in these videos man! Wasn't even looking for Insurgency tips and you still got me hooked!😄
Thanks man! I appreciate it! I haven’t uploaded in a few months, but I’m coming back this weekend. Stay tuned!
Armor is good against shrapnel from mortars/explosives
@@stormnaumu2623 armor has no effect against explosives atm due to the bug it has! It hasn't been fixed yet to my knowledge
@stormnaumu2623 yea I have a way higher survivability with just light armor when taking IDF or random grenades and molotov
I was in a game just now and the guy on comms says something about armor, I give my two cents about it being useless. He says he can't live without that he doesn't like being one shot. literally a second later he gets one tapped and I say looks like you can't live with it either.
He respawns and it happens again.. and again... so now he doesn't use armor... 😂
I noticed one night, breaching doors. You can shoot the brackets that hold the doors to the doorframe. And it'll fall, instead of bashing or opening it. Just a cool thing I noticed my teamate do the other night. I love this game. I play on ps4. Wish I had a computer though! Really want to get into computer gaming vs consol.
Tip #1 - Spacing. Playing as a team is great and all but put six feet between you and your teammates or a wall. Cover Chokepoints and Areas of Denial is a good way to figure out your spacing especially in open areas. I use grenade blast radius as an example of how far spacing needs to be. Like if your buddy held a live grenade on him, how far would it take for it to damage you? If he was going to explode, would you survive it's radius like a jihadist suicide bombing a room. Those bombers are worth two grenade spaces wide so give them a wide berth wherever possible.
Tip #2 - firing lines. If your buddy is next to you go around BEHIND him not in front of him, you cause friendly fire that can kill you AND him and that burns out your teammates quickly when they have to carry you through a match. This also applies to WHEN to move from point A to point B.
Example: two buildings and a street divides the middle but can be guarded from opposing sides. If the street runs North and South and the two buildings are East and West, work together to cover your squad and safeguard an area from attacks while at the same time open a safe passage for everyone. One person takes a South position and another for the North position, both sides of the street are covered. They have opened a safe passage for the team to move through while they provide overwatch. This allows you to move East or West to either building safely without taking a bullet to the dome. If the two overwatch squadmates start shooting, look briefly where the gunfire is coming from and TIME the shoots then book it the next objective area quickly while the enemy reloads. Once the South and North streets are clear and no teammates are in the previous position and they moved over to the next area - pair up and reverse move into the building to cover the rear meaning your backs are to the wall of the building you're entering and walking backwards until the entrance is barricaded or closed. This is Open Door / Closed Door. Usually the first two people leading are the ones doing Overwatch (Open) and are the last ones to enter a building (Close).
Tip #3 - Bullet and Surface Physics. There is bullet drop in this game, go to the training grounds and learn which guns you'll be using and figure out distance of the drop and arming distance of grenades. Some guns are great for mid range but complete ass long to very long distances. Caliber of guns actually do more damage and that applies to enemies as when they shoot you but it's never explicitly explained in gun descriptions.
Great tips!👍
As someone with over 1000 hours now, all of these are great. ESPECIALLY #6, F armor, save your points and weight. Also, I almost exclusively play frontlines and a tip i have for that gamemode is to know when to defend and gain the wave advantage, and when to go balls to the wall and push. I've won so many frontlines games that I shouldn't have because the enemy team just kept needlessly throwing bodies at our objective that we had locked down and they didn't even NEED to win the game. Only for us to retake the middle obj at then end when they had 0 waves 🤷.
It took me almost the same amount of hours to figure that out
A long time ago I use to think smoke was practically useless.
Then I figured out how to use it and I have been preaching to people about how to use smoke for years now.
It started one day when I was on battlefield my teammate flubbed a his smoke it hit practically right on us and I said something along the lines of thanks that's a great idea, which I'll admit seemed sarcastic but I assured him it wasn't I explained what great revelation I just had I pointed out an enemy in smoke can't see in ANY direction and I mercilessly started launching smoke on directly the enemy mg positions not just between us like I use to. It's hard to believe it hasn't become a common thing by now.
When I'm playing security I like rushing insurgents playing "Hey Mr. Taliban" on my mic. Really sets the mood.
Lvl 600 here and these were really great tips, most of which I've not seen from other videos on this game. Probably the two biggest things that help you improve (IMO) is map knowledge and movement (e.t.c crouch jumps, ledge slides & learning when to sprint and when to slow down like you mentioned). The best way to learn those both are just playing the game though. Keep up the great Insurgency content!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Honestly, Utilizing smokes and flash bangs as well as just simply checking corners was night and day for me. There’s always someone lurking so cover while moving is the best.
A lot of people play this game too fast and don’t use all of their utility. It helps a lot!
where do u get smoke and other weapons or grenades?@@CallsignChris
Nicely done !
I'd like to add some tips:
1)allways buy gas mask for security side if you're going to be near an enemy location , your cough will reveal you quickly
2)Don't buy body armor for 3 points , it's only advantage over 1 point vest is about 2% damage reduction on point blank distance and additional plate on your groin.
So armor only makes sense if you're on the defensive side , because you don't have to move that much
This video feels polished. I laughed and I love it. These strategies are great cause they also apply to similar fps games
Don’t forget to build an Insurgent Jesus loadout
The tip for the kills was the best.
I hate the early cod players who are running like chickens without the head and walking in front of you when you are shooting. Just for kills. They forgot that it is a team tactical game. Do it with the team and win matches give you more points and level up faster.
I wish more games were like insurgency.
Didn't know the helo take down trick - that's super useful for Insurgency Jesus. Also yes yes yes to slow down. Amount of times I have snuck up to an objective only for a team mate to sprint past, revealing our direction of attack, get shot in the head and leave me to either backtrack and try another direction or immediately get shot after is infuriating.
Great video! Thanks for the tips 💯
Good tips, I'll keep this in mind. I was always using my smoke grenades wrong.
Glad I could help!
@@CallsignChris keep up the videos they're good
Hey man. Thanks for the tips and thanks for keeping the video short and simple. I'm a horrible teacher so I'll definitely be sure to send this to my noobie friend. More love.
Loved it man. Keep it up!
Good stuff buddy, keep it up!
Great video! I appreciate you for making content for the game. The games player base is super small and this helps promote the game in a very positive way. Subscribed!
Thanks! I appreciate it.
im new and this game feels like what battlefield should be
Ive been playing sandstorm but this video was still really good on the advice I’ll be sharing this with my buddies when they decide to get off bogus call of duty and get on a real game.
Great video severely underrated
Check your corners, check your six. Switch weapons, don't reload. Don't throw a grenade unless someone is covering you. Reload only when it's safe. Back up if need be. Under fire, never stop moving. If they've seen you, they will grenade you, move.
real cool video, good job, keep it up!
Liked this vid more than the last one, it's more informative
I say embrace roleplay with your movements, taking notes from BPRE and a few tactical scenes of your choice just to get you in the feels (not like it'll actually help you entirely) can come in handy. Especially with what your armed with. But teamwork is highly recommended, no, don't actually help them, your team is free bodybags for when it matters, e.g hide in their corpses and ghuerilla style the win until backup arrives.
Been playing for a year or two. Recently starting to play PVP. This guide was helpful.
Glad it helped!
This vid is perfect, you got potential
Thank you so much!
I usually hate the gamers that make these videos, but I enjoyed your video. Subscribed and trolling immediately 😂
Loved this video bro
Thanks very much for the tips man. Appreciate it
No worries!
this was good man i enjoyed it!
Thanks a lot for this very helpful video! This game can be a pain to start!
Nice editing and good tips!
Such a great video!
Thx a lot homie :)
the tips that u said in this video, really make sense.
Happy to help!
When it comes to accuracy, I find taking the gun off fully auto and putting it on 2 shot burst REALLY helped. I use the G36 and the 2 shot burst (4 accurate bullets with 2 trigger pulls) has me getting more kills over all ranges short to long
By the way, I have learned that two frag grenades will also destroy the weapon caches in co-op versus AI. I’m not sure about PVP though.
Forward grip for sniper rifle !! EXCELLENT
THANKS YOU BROTHA!
I just jumped into 4x hardcore and I’m doing pretty well now
Great video! 10/10.
Went from 4 kills, 26 deaths. to 22 kills with 9 deaths, was also called a hacker to 😂 Thanks for the tips my dude, I was rushing like all the time, slowed things down now I can get more kills and get to hear the enemies cry 😂
Haha that's awesome! A lot more fun to not be on the receiving side of dying 😂
@@CallsignChris agreed!!
You were called a hacker for having a 2.4 k/d?!?! My last match was 29/3 and I'm mediocre AF at this game.
@@sterlingcampbell2116 Gyaattt thats wicked good shit!
bumping for the algorithm 😁
1) need an insurgent Jesus character
2) I sort of disagree with your notion that armor is useless. It doesn't do much against rifle rounds, but it certainly will save your bacon from explosives
cool bideo
Lol we all need an insurgent Jesus in our lives. And yeah, I agree with you. I don’t think armor is completely useless - just not as important as most people think. I still use armor for pretty much all of my Breacher loadouts to help me live ever so slightly longer on objective
By far the worst part about this game is when you keep getting sniped by someone who you never see. They're either super far away or super concealed and it gets me everytime. I can't even make it out of spawn most of the time. It's worse than battlefield sniping
I bought the game the 25. so I'm still sorta new to the game, so i will definitely take your tips and put them to use THX MAN
Have fun! Don’t get too frustrated in the early days. The early days can be rough haha
@@CallsignChris thanks man I'll keep up the grind no way am i giving up on this game
Нам нужно продвигать такой контент, делая его доступным не только для англоязычной аудитории благодаря субтитрам
I don't care about ru or u because I h8 both
🫵🤓😞😱🥺
This naynote person had a stroke or brain injury?
О, приятно видеть соотечественников в западных просторах интернета.
I agree! Much love and hello from America 🤘🏽
Loved the video dude
Thanks man!
yo no way ur subs r only 53. perfect video man
Haha thanks man, I appreciate it
Thanks, I’m new to this game (lvl22) so Im still learning, and I didn’t know some of these tips, specifically the last two. I should bring incensory grenades more often. Also does the tip about camouflage apply to enemy AI as well, or just people in multiplayer?
Glad the video helped! And for the camo tip, I was specifically referring to other players in PvP. It doesn’t matter in co-op
Doesn't armor cover/help with the explosive spam?
Thanks for the tips
Thanks
Thank you. I will try to smoke myself as much as Possible. I mean the enemy. Now lets Yellla
I just got this game on pc have literally 3 hours in it. Really good game
The enemy's being able to hear chats comes In handy for me, give out fake calls when your near an enemy and lure a kill hungry camper straight to a open lane for you to gun em down! Or you can blast free bird while rushing a enemy obj,
Perfect. Baiting or memeing the enemy. No in-between lol
+ Permanently attach the compass to your HUD and use it to communicate! That lil' number is a Bearing...
Call of duty you can eat 10 rounds to the head and be okay with only your armor breaking. Multiplayer takes like 8 without the armor. Not to mention you can also eat 50 cal bullets to the head in cod
Do supressors work on enemy ai? Or is it a simple los proximity algorithm?
Are you on PC? I just got the game and I’m getting wildly bad stutters and latency. I have a 3060ti as well, playing on medium settings in 1440p. Any advice?
Make a shotgun highlight reel, flechette rounds are OP
Any good begginer gun? I like the mp7 hovever i rly like shotguns entertainment- vise, whats the best guns?
Just started pvp. Seems like no matter which way I approach I always end up right in their way and they seemingly always have their guns trained at my direction like they knew I've been coming.
coming from battlefield 4 to this is eye opening, lol cant be bunny hopping around no more :(
How do you change from iron sight to optical sight?
tip to be more patient, listen to calm , classic musik, it helps you to be patient and slows you down.
Okay now I finally know why I suck at the game; that's because I don't shout enough verbal abuse in voice chat.
The helicopter crashes are pretty realistic.
Saying to hit dislike if you didn't like the video seems to make people do it less often, that's very curious
*unequips all armor*
One of us! One of us!
armor doesn´t help against bullets that much, but will save you from explosions soooo much.
Don’t ever play this game when your tired it won’t work well just go to sleep and come back fully recharged trust me you’ll notice a difference
I wish u could change the focus button
Armor is useful on frontline (ik the mode with the most walking) no but it'll save u from the rpg7s shrapnel that's what it's for tbh even in real life the army gives you shit rated for 9mm its for the shrapnel not the bullet
Ks 23, flachett, no sight, any grip.
Is proximity chat always on or do i have to press the chat button(on console) every single time i wanna talk to a nearby teammate? Or is the press to chat ONLY for whole team chat?
yeah I’ve been wondering the same. seems like some players chat line stays on constant during the match while others hold L1 (console) to open chat to nearby teammates
Does enemy AI actually affected by smoke grenades obscuring view? Or is smoke grenade only useful for PVP?
Yup, smoke works on AI
How do you access the preset????
This isn’t a tip but use proximity chat. You can talk to just your team through without enemies hearing you but using proximity chat makes the game so much more enjoyable and entertaining.
I mentioned it in the video and advised everyone to talk as much trash to the enemy team as possible haha
@@CallsignChris, amen. A competitive game isn’t complete without people talking like they’re actually trying to kill each other.
@@rickylafleur9601 tennōheika banzai
@@CallsignChris tennōheika banzai
armor is useful especially from shotguns
I needed this because I'm 'trash😢...I still enjoy the game though
I was listening to this while putting a forgrip on my snr amd then then he says not to and im disappointed in myself
Should've yelled SLOW DOWN!!! 😂 I'm ready to vote and choke out my teammates just flying into my gun runs
Nice little windows movie maker tutorial and all... but that one guy on one server gave me a tool which draws frames around the enemies so I can see them through walls. And the mod menu also gave me some nice aim assist. Guess I don't need your tutorial no mo. But I rate it with five stars.
Damn, you got the best tip out there. You’ll be topping the scoreboards in no time lol.
@@CallsignChris Yeah, I got me some VAC award on my steam profile in red letters so everybody sees. Forsaken called and said he want to play together with his word.exe helping software.
How long it take after you pull the pin from the granade
When you pull the pin, your character still holds on to the spoon (the handle) so it doesn’t blow up in your hand and you can hold it forever. But if you right-click while holding left-click, you can cook the grenade and it only takes about 5 seconds or so to explode
Ever since I got this game I've been playing bots, but I know I'm missing out so I'm trying to play multiplayer
Unfortunately they have nerfed the throwing a grenade or mugtov or incinerary at the objective
i'm making an insurgent jesus now lol
You must pray to him before every match from now on lol
how do you not have more subscribers
I just started UA-cam a few weeks ago haha. Really appreciate the kind words!
camos don't matter unless you are a tryhard camper. if anything muzzle flash hiders and suppressors are far better at hiding you.
just wear what you like.
Little tip I got from my first few hours, if you're a casual gamer, PLAY PVE WITH FRIENDS. crap is hilarious
One thing I've noticed is if you run around like a crack adled spider monkey the game responds in kind.
armour is only useful for okay protect against explosives. most noobs don't even know how to cook a grenade though so i still don't bother
I would love to know if you guys have fun servers where it's not only milsim guys who will destroy you mentally if you don't say "over" after you end talking but where people joke around
That’s not at all what the Sandstorm community is like lol
@@CallsignChris ik 8t's only that I don't have some games were people are genuinely fun they just are here like "Ayo we will be strategic" just to lose miserably
@@CallsignChris i have been playing it for like 70hrs
this video should be mandatory for all these cod kids who stand around the objective and never try to capture it
smoking the objective and using psychological warfare upon your enemies (and bad teammates who took your class) are the best tactics
They’ll learn eventually that kills don’t win games lol
pro tip from a level 800: use the most intimidating skin (if you have purchased them.) Using those super bad ass looking DLC skins actually make you intimidate the other team more, since they think you are a sweat at the game :) edit: literal pay to win
thank u for these tips .. your a good woman ... your husband is lucky man ..😘😘
I love Insurgent Jesus. 🙏
For the love of all that is holy. DO NOT cross or stand in front of another player pointing his gun downrange. Best case scenario I miss three kills because you wanted to play COD. Worst case, the back of your head gets aired out like a sunroof and I get PTSD from slaughtering my teammate. DO BETTER..LOL
I knew all of this stuff I just wanna know HOW TF DO I GET RID OF THE FUCKIN OVER-RECOIL I get randomly an I’m a veteran player when I switched from Xbox Back to PS5 they fucked up the recoil it’s uncontrollable for me an I’m missing shots I shouldn’t idk if u gone see this
