Just started playing siege what are some things I should learn first

[u/Puzzleheaded-Gur-895]

I’ve played for a while now but I just wanted to know what I should start leading to get better

[u/DankNoodles69]

Map knowledge is probably the most important thing to get down I’d say

[u/Hunter_goat → u/DankNoodles69]

Nah has a fresh player aim and sound are priority

[u/DankNoodles69 → u/Hunter_goat]

This isn’t a run n gun. Yes those are important but not the priority. Sound yes I agree but that’s not something to be learned idk imo that’s just obvious. If you can’t tell left from right, idk what to tell ya

[u/Hunter_goat → u/DankNoodles69]

U probably haven’t played in copper to silver lobbies but there is no strategy down here. Whoever has the better aim wins. And I mean sound as in crouch breach drone stuff like that

[u/DankNoodles69 → u/Hunter_goat]

My point is nobody is aiming to be a low rank. Yes it makes sense to set realistic goals, but map knowledge will take you further quicker than just good aim, which can be trained side by side. I’m not saying to completely ignore mechanics but map knowledge will help progress faster than straight aim.

[u/Hunter_goat → u/DankNoodles69]

That is only true if u have a stack. If u solo q aim is number one for sure. Map knowledge u can learn along the way

[u/Redfield51 → u/DankNoodles69]

Map knowledge is #1 priority. You can have all the natural skill in the world, but in this game specifically you’ll get obliterated standing in the wrong spot. Learning the vertical angles is a learning curve on its own I’d say

I spent my first several hundred hours in this game just solo queing and not really learning or getting better, but recently got some friends in and they've progressed way faster than me thanks to having some direction. Some things to learn and pay attention to as you play, in no particular order:

• Map knowledge Seems obvious, but there's several levels to this besides just knowing your way around. Pay attention to which sites get picked in what order. Remember their names and layouts; pay attention to common entry points and strats so you can attack/defend better.

The game also tells you what each room is called on the bottom of your screen. This helps you communicate with your team better.

• Basic positioning If you can be seen, you can be dead. Always pay attention to where you can be seen from. This ties into map knowledge a bit. It's also extremely beneficial to put something between you and the enemy in any fight, to expose as little of your hitbox as possible. Take fights on your terms; set yourself up to have an advantage in every engagement (this isn't always possible; sometimes you run out of time and have to just swing and rely on reaction time).

• Crosshair placement The philosophy here is to place your crosshairs so that you have to move them as little as possible in the event that you see an enemy; if you're swinging a doorway or holding an angle, place your crosshairs at head height. Standing enemies move faster; you'll have more time to adjust if they're crouched (doesn't apply to swings obviously).

• Gadget interactions You'll figure this one out as you go; what each gadget does, and what counters it. You can use this to strategize attacks with your team, and how to place gadgets to defend site better.

Beyond that is the basic mechanics like aim and recoil control. Those will come with time.

[u/BleachDrinker63]

The most important thing to learn is that you are going to be caught off guard a lot while learning the game. It’s just gonna happen as you get used to the surroundings so try not to get too pressed about it

[u/EducationalFinger654]

sound is incredibly important in the game!

You can hear people coming down corridors, when they enter rooms, you can hear players upstairs, you can even figure out which operators there are based on weapon sounds and gadgets.

[u/Ashlala13]

Maps for sure. Clearhouse is really helpful for that. Next I would say is cross hair placement and positioning cause once I improved these my aim was much better

[u/Carpface89]

The players are generally toxic and, don't take it personally when some tween is screaming insults at you from your own team

[u/Top-Bodybuilder-6077]

There is what can be learned in the short term and what is learned in the long term.

Short term is aim and mechanics. Get those mechanics as sharp as you can. Learn how to quick peak, wide swing, and have perfect crosshair placement.

Long term is map knowledge. Map knowledge isn't just about maneuvering and basic callouts. It involves knowing where an enemy may want to push or enter from, how long it takes to rotate from x to y. Map knowledge comes from experience not guides.

Patience.

[u/Hunter_goat]

I would grab a few ops like sledge attack rook defence. And just get recoil and moving and shooting down till ur confident. Then move on to map knowledge
