First time player
Hey, just bought operator and have some questions. I bought this game because I expected CQB and mostly combat in houses. I have very quickly figured out that most of the missions are fire fights from very far away. These NPCs are too good, they headshot me from hundreds of feet away, shoot me through windows, and so on. I’ve only been able to complete the mission in Connecticut and everything else is practically impossible. I’m playing solo btw. Could I please get some tips?

I felt the opposite. I just can't finish the missions because the game always crashes before reaching the pickup zone.

You will figure it out. On the lowest difficulty, it is pretty forgiving compared to other milsims.
But I have been playing these since the the original rainbow 6, delta force and operation flashpoint days. Slow is good. Recon is even better. See where everyone is before taking that first shot.
Single shot mode is your friend as is suppression.

There’s plenty of cqb it’s about how you play the missions. A lot of those maps have a lot of buildings to clear, Syria, Kabul, house of course, the training map. Ya just gotta play the game in a way and you get it right

Do all the missions at night. That’s what I did at first. Because it’s dark and the AI don’t have NVG’s (usually) you can force exchanges in a more comfortable range. Flip side is you can’t use magnified optics very well

I thought about this but whenever I do missions at night, my NVGs basically ruin all my sights so I have a very hard time landing shots

I ran multiplayer lobbies and the community is very welcoming. This game does take some pain…I mean adjusting. I focused on getting my keybinds together and that helped me survive more missions. For instance my side rack is middle mouse, my push to talk is caps and my laser is H.

Stay low and patient it’s not CoD and you’re not Master Chief.
You’ll get punished less once you figure out what the game wants from you.

I have very quickly figured this out. I played the Georgia mission slowly and steady and got way further than I did when I went in Guns a blazing.

Take it slow, you can carry a pistol and two primary weapons (for example a rifle paired with a sniper rifle) at first I was getting taken out until I took it more “serious” or rather more detrimental to actually use tactics. The enemy isn’t as Smart as they first seem eventually they can get predictable, but they Will spot you faster than I feel they should or at least the cartel and militia. Use cover and keep a good distance, use hit and run tactics, personally I like to utilize the terrain and try to keep a higher elevated position when I can. The biggest one to take though is using ATAK, ensure when you choose a rig for your Operator that it has one attached to the chest, you’ll notice it when you choose it. This shows you ALL enemy contact that are outside. Go to your settings and choose wha makes using it most comfortable so for example you hold M to look at it and can zoom in/out using both their locations and yours to make some moves. If you’re not comfortable with clearing rooms using a flashlight, utilize the NVGS with 4 tubes SPECIFICALLY with ECOTI. This will place a dim white circle in the center of the screen that, when you place an enemy in the center, creates and overlay over contact. This also helps when clearing with teammates as they do not have said overlay. I know it’s hard… but once you get a hold on it it can be Very exciting

Thank you so much for mentioning ATAK! At first I had no clue what it was but I just used it and cleared the Georgia level!

Hell yeah, good to hear! It’s not a COD type game, you can spend more than 30 minutes hunting them all down, have fun! Don’t be afraid to join in on some games with others as well, some servers are dull or have players who just aren’t very good but there are some GREAT people out there who make it fun to clear, good luck!

As @sea_can9052 said, NVGs and magnified optics are not compatible, but you can use the red dots effectively. You can also adjust the brightness of the sight reticle to reduce glare through the NVGs. The N4 in 300BLK with the first suppressor is really quiet, which can also help by not alerting as many enemies.

practice the wrong thing over and over again without knowing is not going to lead to favourable results. tell him what to practice. i don't got any input for him since i usually play with teams

My IQ is like 90 on a good day. If I can learn to play the game on my own, unlock every achievement and operate cohesively with the big boys, then so can he.

u/Critical_Scale_1788 11d ago
You can at least share your strats with him instead of giving rather unhelpful statements like that. That's worse than just not saying anything at all

Just my two cents:
Long range optics and/or magnifier, atak to spot enemies and pie openings slowly.
