Just bought after seeing that all the launch issues are fixed and playerbase is still very active. Any advice for someone just starting out?

Learn the maps like the back of your hand, you can beat anyone with good positioning. Learn what speakers advantage is and find an operator you like

You better not of gotten starter edition

Peakers advantage*

Oh and if you're on console go to settings and set the dead zone to as low as you can. It lets you make small adjustments when aiming

Yeah. Refund on Steam and never look back.

Which edition did you buy?

I went for the standard on steam after seeing everyone say it takes way too long to grind for operators on starters

Play some rounds of terro hunt if you want to familiarize yourself with the maps without ruining your team's chances of winning.

Good, as for tips unlock all default operators first alternating between attack and defence.

*Peekers

Play terrorist hunt for a week or more, learn the maps, operators and cameras then start casual.

Learn the maps and camera locations and which walls are breachable and which not first.
Use you drones as attackers and cameras as defender. Mapknowledge and information wins the game.

Do what i did and say fuck tutorials and go immediately ranked

Is anyone gay enough to do this and not just play casual??

Apparently that guy.

Ranked isnt even unlocked when you start.

Don't go guns blazing and go loud

Primarily just be fucking aware of how much noise everything makes, wear headphones. Stuff like aiming down your sights, turning 90 degrees will making a shuffling noise. Being prone and shifting your aim about 10-20 degrees will make a loud shuffling noise. The secret to success is making less noise than your enemy and fucking letting them do some sperg ass shit.

Work on learning the maps

Work on your aim, go for headshots.

Then you put your headphones on, half the game is played for you, find yourself at plat or some shit. People at high skill levels are VERY good at shooting you through barricaded doors, and through un-reinforced walls, or generally will know your exact location and headshot you immediately when they enter the room.

Before you call out "wall hacks"(See this shit more than any competitive fps I've ever played), just remember that you were making too much fucking noise my guy.

tl;dr stop fucking making so much noise.

This

Make friends. Play with friends. Goes for any online game, really, but this is an especially annoying game for playing with randoms.

*headphones

>he plays skillbeard

Whats the best (cheapest) way of buying the full game?

Did they really fix most of the issues?

would be really happy if ela was deleted

DONT GET THE STARTER EDITION OP

Just delete Poland ops in general

Buy a key off of G2A or something but no matter how jewish you're feeling never buy the starter edition

What sense do you guys use? I have 800dpi and 15 feels like too much. Trying 10 now.
Also, what should inscope sense be?

>ranked is locked until lvl 25
kys faggot

Gamestop has used copies on console. steam has sales every now and then

So where do the new shotguns fit on the shotgun ranking? Germany still supreme?

*peeky-deekies

>"I know people said not to get it but I got the starter edition anyway lol"
Why do people still do this? Ever since it came out as an option anyone anywhere will tell you you're just fucking yourself.

The BOSG is GOAT shotty beating literally every other choice besides destructibility at least

- Learn the maps (Shouldn't take too long, you don't need specifics, just memorize the layout)
- Use headphones and pay attention to the in-game audio, simply pinpointing someone's location by the sounds they make can make for an easy kill
- for your first operators, some of the more useful ones are Ash, Thermite, Sledge, Mute, Rook, and Bandit. None of these require any map knowledge to play, and some like Ash and Mute have a high skill ceiling, so they're worth learning.
- For your first DLC Ops, go either Valkyrie or Hibana. Hibana is more useful, but Valk opens up totally new avenues of gameplay.
- Use your goddamn microphone. If you don't, I'll personally hate you; a very simple, "Hey, [Friendly Operator], there's a [Enemy Operator] to your right!" can save matches. Replace [Operator] with like, 'Kapkan', 'Hibana', etc; easier and more informative than using names.
- Always pimp out your guns. Vertical grip > Angled > No grip. For barrel stuff just think about how you usually fire it. Sights are up to personal preference, though ACOG typically > anything, except for arguably a couple of heavy-recoil guns (Personally I choose holo for the Famas, for example).
- Don't go into competitive the second you unlock it. You can get basically the same experience in casual as long as you do callouts, except for competitive has your elo on the line; learn basic calls first and you'll probably be able to get into gold as long as you can shoot straight.
- Do the Shift+F2 ubisoft challenges. They're easy as fuck and take no more than maybe like 15 minutes of pure operator selection or whatever. Except for the T-Hunt ones, unless you actually want to play T-Hunt for some reason, don't bother; not worth the pittance. It's more of an extra on top of Casual earnings.
- Don't take advice from this guy, ; it's straight up autistic to learn casual/ranked maps in T-Hunt. Not in the same ballpark.

Unlock the SAS and FBI operators first, they're easy and clear on what they do, alternating between one in attack and one in defense, mute the dicks and play until you know the map like the back of your hand, then the fun will slowly trickle in. Once you get good enough at aiming slap an ACOG on weapons you feel comfortable with and let er rip

For the love of god
Do not
Reinforce walls
Between bomb sites

>other ops be like

lul 3d that dpi is retarded, 3-4 range at 800 dpi.

this advice is bad because of the scaling price on the original ops as you unlock them, you should go through the ctus unlocking 1 by 1

>her EVO isn't good enough,
>we gotta give her a sight on her gun to balance out her primary
>oh also in the newest update let's buff pistols like crazy and make them have no recoil, meaning that as an unintended effect Ela's pistol is pretty much on par with the C1 9mm and can act as a second primary to her EVO because sure why not
>aaalright, thank goodness her guns are balanced now, she definitely wouldn't be useful with any other guns, she only really has one of the most useful defensive placements in the whole game
- Some dev in ubisoft studios, probably

I don't fiddle with exact numbers, my rule is more or less only allowing myself to be able to do about a 400-degree turn if I move my mouse from the left of my mousepad to the right. You don't need any more.
I used to be able to do something like 4 360-turns, but as I've most definitely gotten better as instead of going for dumbass flicks I can actually do precise shooting.

Understand that you will get beat
Do the situations for renowned to get early ops
Dont listen to any thing else while playing, you need to be able to here footsteps
Listen to your teammates unless they are just being a dick
Glaz can shoot through the windows on Plane and you can't

This
Zofia makes me upset because I think she stands for everything that's wrong with the new ops.
Her ability is lame as fuck and pretty much a mish-mash of random aspects from other operators but somehow more OP than any of them.
>Dude lmao let's make her ash but also she can fire flashbangs for some reason oh and she can pick herself up like Doc
What the fuck are they smoking?
Same thing with Ela, although I don't HATE her ability, it's like they just stole Echo's, put it in a Kapkan trap, and then removed all of Kapkan's strategy by letting you place them anywhere you want.
And then they felt like it WASN'T ENOUGH and gave her the most broken fucking gun in the game. How they haven't just removed her 1080-fucking RPM, 50 round SMG is beyond me; she's so busted you can't really get into a game without her anymore.

I feel vulnerable as fuck when I have to do challenges as that slow fuck.
I feel sorry for the people who still play him when they have Cav and Ela to worry about every match.

25? Yesterday i played ranked with someone on lvl 20.

The RG-15 is the lowest damage pistol in the game now
It sucks shit compared to the QBZ9, 5.7 and PMM

>buing call of duty: MOBA editon
Disgusting.

Doesn't matter if you get headshots, it's quite literally comparable to a secondary 9mm C1, which does basically the same RPM and similar damage, but is totally murderous because of how controlled the recoil is.

Don't quit mid game.

>Doesn't matter if you get headshots
You could say that about literally every gun in the game
The fact isn't that compared to others pistols the RG-15 just isn't as good stats wise

Appreciate it bruh, I was figuring T-Hunt was good for learning maps because its offline and I wouldn't be throwing games for my team

>You could say that about literally every gun in the game
I mean sure but a big difference is that the RG-15 has an insanely clear sight picture, which basically doesn't move whilst firing to boot.
One of the things that makes other pistols so shitty in comparison is that you need to deal with their godawful ironsights, whereas the RG-15 you can just connect the dot to the enemy's head and you've got a kill, and you have 16 rounds to do that with, unhampered by recoil.
Many of the other weapons maybe are better stats-wise, but are shittier in practice, since the slide flies the fuck up into your face and totally obscures your view past your first shot. The only pistol I can think of that definitely doesn't do this is the PMM, which is a good pistol, but fires something like 8 shots.
I was so damn confident that the RG-15 was overpowered when I tested the new recoil yesterday that I pretty much used it for half of my comp match; it was flat out better than any other pistol I'd tested, mainly the p226 and M45.

Wish there was more incentive to not quit.
Sometimes casual matches are just decided after the first round unless someone goes full Havoc for consecutive matches.

Train yourself to, when you'll aim somewhere, aim on the head level. When you will aim a door, for example, try to project the height that the enemy's head would be when he appears.

Constantly I see allies aiming on a low height, and when the enemy appears, 90% of the gunfight, the allies lose.

I'd recommend T hunt to new players.
Running around the map like an idiot gets you out of that reinforce around the objective and camp mentality which new players fall into.

I always aim low so I can get a headshot on a crouching opponent and if he's standing just spray him down

IIRC not only does T-Hunt use a separate roster but since you're not learning bomb/hostage sites you're not gaining anything from the experience at all beside VERY basic layouts, which would have been learned in casual anyway.
Also feel free to throw in Casual, if you're reinforce around the objective and camp mentality which new players fall into
Really? I find the exact opposite, when I introduced my friend to the game, first thing he did was lurk everywhere, which imo is stupid.
Anchoring is an easy to way to come to grips with the game's mechanics and the ins and outs of each site. Lurking is great and all but you need to know how to do it, if you push your luck and don't know when and how to pull back safely you're going to get fucked.

Try to pull off the most illogical bullshit when you don't know what to do. It'll work 90% of time.

That's risky, but I understand. But every time I try that, and the enemy was standing, I lose the gunfight (I guess it is because I'm on console, so simply spraying the gun isn't that precise). But training to aim on the crouching-head level is essencial aswell.

If the standing enemy only shows up his head when he appears, you'll die.

I'm a plat player and I do this pretty much exclusively.
The reasoning is that if they're standing up, you WILL hear them beforehand, so you flick up to the head-level.
If you don't and are patiently waiting for them to peek, then they're probably crouching.

This assumes you will be caught off-guard by a standing player. This is certainly true if you're watching the exterior doors or peeking outside, but not at all when you're already around/inside the sites

>play terrorist hunt or casual doesn't matter
>get team killed right at spawn
>every. fucking. time.

Fucking why? This game is cancer.

>Not doing solo thunt

Get the standard edition off of cdkeys

What if I want to get the year 2 edition?
Yay or nay?

year one ops are better

Too bad that version isn't available on cdkeys, how long would it take to unlock year one ops?

i think they are 25000 renown, but i may be wrong hopefully someone else can confirm. i say buy the base game on cd keys and if you enjoy it get the season passes on sale

But I meant how long, like a couple games to unlock one?

About 18 hours of game time or so to unlock 1 DLC character

id say about 10-20 hours, honestly dude im not sure because ive been a good goyim and always had the season passes, sorry i cant be more help.

> tfw 50k renown because i saved up
>tfw i dont even want to get new ops

Pick Fuze when its a Hostage match

Well theres always Y3

pfft yea bro
"year 3"
maybe ill get skins

You wot?
Y3 is already confirmed and outlined
blog.ubi.com/rainbow-six-siege-year-3-content-outbreak-event-announced/

> tfw i did it all off the starter edition
waht would YOU spend 50k on if you already had 20 operators?

100% Y3 will have an operation health equivalent
>new players will never understand having the devs pull a "haha sike!!! no new polish update only operation health!!!" like two days prior to the polish update release date, when hype was already at its boiling point
>new players will never understand the total disappointment when it was basically just UI changes and lootbox additions when the bigger stuff was BARELY touched, all of which dropped at the very tail-end of the operation, resulting in a a total lack of updates for like almost the whole thing
Their 'skip an operation' plan worked too damn well, no doubt it's coming back

Buy Fuze and spam cluster charges near the objective.

If you check the outline S1 and S3 are already both set up as filler seasons

Oh god you're right, it's happening again
I was wondering why 'Outbreak' would even be a thing, and why I'd heard that it was operation exclusive. Fuck, man; now it all makes sense.

what would you do with it?

I'd like to get the tacticool black universal skin, but I can't find the reknown to buy cosmetics, because I still don't own like 1/4 or 1/5 of the operators.
I've heard people say shit like "Oh you can buy all the operators after 280+ hours" in a negative light, but I'm 324 hours in and I still can't afford some operators I want, like Jackal, for example.

what did yo uspend it on? i only bought 1 22k skin and i regret it :X

>He fell for the starter edition meme

fucking operators and attachments, literally nothing else, never bought a skin
I'm still missing Blackbeard, Ying, Lesion, Jackal, Echo, and Capitao; plus now Zofia, Dokidoki, and Vigil ofc.
I have exactly 26k in my account atm, which I plan to buy Dokidoki with. But this is how it usually goes, I can get maybe 50k reknown by the end of the season and miss out on one op, and by that point, they're not worth buying because the meta dictates a new op is significantly better.

best part is I don't own the starter edition

nah bro
im starter edition

i only play once a week for most of the day
it's really not that bad since the game is fun to play

wtf nigga how many operators you own?
Also how much renown do you get a match?

i just like the game alot so i play it
and i play casual so the rate is 150-250/ 30 mins
i dont know howl ong ranked matches take since i have never played even 1

If Year 3 starts with a 3-speed I'm uninstalling.

>i have never played even 1
I guess that's not surprising since iirc ranked matches pull waay less reknown than casual matches, since they give something like +50 than a casual match, but can take like 3x longer.
I remember a lot of my early play (first like 150 hrs) was spent playing casual exclusively, but recently I've been waaay more into ranked.
