Me who still aims for the head during his ult because of habit: ....

[@Dunmuir]

As you should 👀

[@angellopez5315]

Should aim for the neck instead, the headshot hitbox is p big, so if you aim for the neck you’ll hit more shots overall and get good Crit acc still.

[@Vybez-YT]

@@angellopez5315 nah bro during his ult you can’t miss bruh. So aim for the head, you won’t “hit more shots overall” cause there’s nothing to miss, if you don’t shoot the head, it’ll hit the body anyway cause that’s how the ult works. Your tactic is good for when NOT ulting

[@cartqueen6114]

@@Vybez-YT Yeah the only way you can miss during his ult is if you look away from every single enemy lol

[@angellopez5315]

@@Vybez-YT yeah i meant while not ulting, sorry for not being clear.

[@conmar30]

I did not know about the headshots during ult 🤷‍♂️ masters player btw 😂😂

[@Dunmuir]

Learn something every day! Lolol

[@conmar30]

@@Dunmuir for sure 😂 I’ll take it, appreciate it 👌🏻

[@thegreatalfini]

it’s new in OW2 which is probably why you haven’t heard of it haha

[@lovesmrjarrett]

Now I feel stupid for putting my mouse on the floor when I ult with him, smh

[@napoo454]

I’d just stop aiming completely and just barrel stuff ppl

[@Ganksy_]

On animating cancels he should've mentioned that you can hit the heal station button then immediately cancel it into your ultimate, so you can have healing while you ult. Secondly, you can place the healing station onto your teammates on low ground by inching towards the edge of where uoure standing and just hitting the button to drop it off. Very important and strong abilities he has tbh

[@Dunmuir]

Definitely good options too 👀

[@thatoneguy7357]

Rocket jumping with soldier in overwatch.. Rocket jumping with soldier in tf2🗿

[@Dunmuir]

It never stops

[@shadowshinobin8641]

Solider from tf2 : Son You need to take a few crash courses in rocket jumping. Solider 76: Why I’m doing a pretty good job. Solider: Hardly! I invited and I will show you the most American way to rocket jump!

[@Dunmuir]

MERICA!

[@mikethegoo]

I mean... Soldier TF2 DOES jump higher, further, faster and better... If you know what you're doing

[@shadowshinobin8641]

@@mikethegoo true!

[@mikethegoo]

@@shadowshinobin8641 Emphasis on "if you know what you're doing". I don't play Soldier as much and I kinda figured out the basics. I can go up and if I'm not disturbed, I can kinda make arcs or jump up to something that needs a single rocket. But I can't accurately aim for a specific spot or wall-jump or traverse the map through the sky or any fancy stuff like that. Either it's very hard or takes long to learn, let alone master, or I'm just dog shit at it... Thinking about it, the thermal thruster is actually way easier and simpler to figure out for that stuff, but you do need to aim your jump for longer and can only make a single jump per use with it. Still, it's a good mobility tool.

[@shadowshinobin8641]

@@mikethegoo I dont play Sojurn but yeah she’s easier.

[@dawntro2731]

One of the best tips for soldier is that ulting reloads the weapon. So you can empty the clip then ult so you don’t have to wait for the reload time

[@Kai92]

I always reload before using his ult, guess I don't need to

[@LatencyProblem]

Wait they added headshot to S76's autoaim ult.. SICK

[@Dunmuir]

Right?

[@bigounce6996]

They did, but it still only auto aims at the torso area so you still need to a a little bit.

[@luga7430]

I mainly play soldier and especially the last tip was quite helpful. Thank you

[@gamingjolt9621]

I firmly believe every soldier in every video game should have the ability to rocket jump

[@bluefish9283]

The rocket animation cancel can also fuck you, making you reload twice if timing isn’t perfect. I don’t suggest that one without extensive practice

[@teh_blazerer]

this was great thank you

[@Dunmuir]

Let’s goo 😏

[@Kero282]

ult headshots for real? thats actually really big.

[@X_mezo_X]

Essentially it encourages you to properly aim at their heads while still being forgiving if you miss and still hit them in the torso.

[@parris9135]

no biotic field+visor animation cancel?

[@greenbean1552]

i was thinking the same thing, use it all the time when i play soldier

[@SkyREX4LIF3]

rocket jump being called in the video with soldier 76 Me:So i guess u are, making ur father proud

[@Dunmuir]

Looool

[@mikaf977]

If I could hit headshots with him I wouldn’t need his ult 😂

[@Dunmuir]

xD pain

[@genshinsbizzareadventures]

This guy looks like he is worried that i am doing bad in one subject during school

[@Dunmuir]

Go study your geometry 😤

[@jpmorgan6146]

I like that in the plays that were not optimal. You state what the optimal thing would be to do in comparison

[@Dunmuir]

Gotta know both! Glad to help

[@yenfay536]

These tips are really useful actually, great vid

[@Dunmuir]

Thanks so much!

[@byLags]

I just started playi g OW2 yesterday and Soldier76 is by far my favorite!! The amount of utility solider has is insane.

[@therickeffect7466]

Another thing is that if you have some free time between team fights you can slam your heal down and dmg yourself with your helix, building your ult a bit faster by healing yourself while not feeding unti the enemys ult charge

[@rodrigodias6595]

Another mistake soldier players do is using their brain

[@Randomsmity]

You can also animation cancel his healing field with his ult by pressing e then q!

[@Dunmuir]

True!

[@FloridianMenace]

A soldier rocket jumping? Sounds... Familiar

[@kane0]

You could also go for high ground if you can so you can get easier headshots

[@Dunmuir]

Good idea!

[@gamesgo6724]

Soldier 76: he does exactly what i do Smart pistol: but better

[@itzumaki3296]

Oof. Slightly disappointed you didn't include the heal station ultimate animation cancel. That's my favorite one :D. The ultimate if used immediately after cancels part of the heal drop down animation.

[@droganovic6879]

I don't remember him headshotting in overwatch 1 during the ult so I'm not used to trying in 2. Good tip, thanks for that! In the off chance that you'll give more tips for characters i play imma sub to ya. Plz don't lemme down bro 😅

[@Dunmuir]

I appreciate it ;D it’s good to learn about the characters you don’t play tho too, so you can know how to beat them

[@aruosu0072]

You can also cancel animation when you use his ultimate and throw down heals, the second you use his ult,

[@lunchbox7738]

you can also cancel the biotic field animation while activating visor just by pressing both at the same time

[@JD-fn3ni]

Ult right after biotic field cancels the animation as well

[@CallMeChemical07]

Goated content dude. I’m so happy to see your channel growing more and more as we get further from the launch of ow2 keep up the great videos dude!

[@Dunmuir]

Thanks so much! I’m excited to see how it’ll keep growing and what my social media will develop into!

[@JebStar10]

When you use the ultimate, deploy the heals at the same time, it is another animation cancel

[@sonicxlegend6888]

There's an additional animation cancel if you use your ult and heal at the same time

[@411Lemon]

Love the reaper animation where if you melee right after he tosses his guns on reloads you can shoot right away rather than wait for his entire animation

[@TacticzHazelChess]

Nice I didnt know about the headshot thing during ultimates!

[@TheBlueye13]

You can animation cancel the healing pad with your ultimate as well.

[@bigrafe]

I freaked out when I beamed a guy in the head with ult 😂

[@Dunmuir]

It’s nice huh? 😏

[@Kallastin]

You can also animation cancel the ult either heal or sprint!

[@basela.7823]

you missed canceling heal station animation into ult

[@phoonfrags8765]

headshots with ult has been a thing for a fat minute

[@cherybomb1215]

Soldier rocket jumps. *rocket jump waltz*

[@Dunmuir]

👀

[@rodneytoa6478]

you forgot the biotic field animation cancel where you press e then q directly after to put biotic field down instantly

[@haydenthomas813]

I always go for the helix melee combo on tracers, it's hilarious 😂

[@porhaltavaneppe]

You can also animation cancel his heal station with visor.

[@RexZapp]

I’m like, brand new to the game. I’m really glad I got the headshot thing down almost immediately

[@JesusWithAG]

One other one is for long range, the first 3 or 5 shots have no recoil. So for long distances you can get a good shot on the backline from your backline

[@huckmart2017]

The most important animation cancel you didnt mention is putting down heal pad as you use visor. It completely cuts out the recovery frames in the heal pad animation.

[@yush4673]

These are the most niche tips ever. Its not a mistake to not animation cancel but having shit positioning is and will lose you games.

[@yush4673]

@@dec1085 Not holding helix rocket and using it as an engaging tool, Learn how to track vertical falling targets (Lijiang tower aim trainer), Zig zagging with soldier sprint, General flanking and movement knowledge using sprint, etc. Look at an Awkward unranked to gm soldier video and that where you will get actually good tips.

[@BasedCannon]

Also heal cancel with hid ult so u don't waste time putting down heal field during ult

[@Hennesseyautoreviews]

Thanks for these tips . It’s a wrap for these enemy’s team.

[@thiagoleonardo2484]

Can you do winston or wrecking ball next?

[@norman24]

target selection, keep in line of sight of ur own healers, and track enemy ults

[@huntergonzales3185]

Here’s one tip that I have if you’re really really close to an enemy crouch, and just keep on walking towards them while shooting trust me, I tried this before and it actually works

[@texdoc89]

Also I feel like not a lot of Soldier players know that shoot helix rockets during ult will reload your rifle so you can empty the mag, rocket and then another mag.

[@blunestinredintel]

So both Soldier and Soldier 76 can rocket jump, nice

[@masterboom4075]

"you call that rocket jumping!? get a real gun son!"

[@TEAMEEXTREME]

wow an actual informative video, even for overwatch vets, awesome stuff 👏🏽

[@Dunmuir]

Thanks ;D

[@Retoarikal]

A better animation cancel is that you can cancel your biotic field animation with your ult, allowing you to quickly get it off just before you use jt

[@mikegronert3576]

Ok the headshoting during the ult was added in ow2 beta 2, for anyone curious

[@blin5033]

your heal animation is also canceled if you ult immediately after pressing it

[@keylimecookies]

Had no clue about the head shots!!!

[@Dunmuir]

It’s kinda wild 👀

[@kyu3001]

man thos guy deserves a subscribe

[@Dunmuir]

Thanks homie ;D

[@El_chara]

My guy started to talk about tf2 for a moment with this rocket jump part

[@Dunmuir]

Tf2verwatch👀

[@StillBurningStudios]

Won’t lie, I just figured his ult didn’t allow headshot potential. Like it’s either “do you want auto aiming or do you want the ability to headshot” tradeoff.

[@Dunmuir]

Used to be like that but it changed 👀

[@PartyCrasher04]

I didn’t know he could rocket jump, i thought his alt fire was a shotgun 😹

[@_Yombo]

Don't know if you've seen the Soldier 76 cinematic, but they're clearly rockets, my bad if you haven't

[@marius8436]

you can also activate the ult and put down the heal pad at the same time which skips the heal pad animation

[@ethanhayes6474]

Biggest mistake when playing Soldier76: Not playing Sojourn

[@nathan-m8s]

Sojourn is boring/basic asf and pretty much everyone hates her

[@leonp.2171]

Aside of the last one these are very niche "mistakes" and would rather call them tips. Still informative so good job!

[@itxstyzzk9851]

Well shiii as a formal solider player and I do rocket jumps already. But I never knew that you can aim for the head when using visor also I'm sure another way you can cancel his reload is melee

[@christianannoni6968]

another animation cancel is dropping heals while starting ur ult

[@dave90mckeague]

There are more animation cancels too :)

[@bigboy2217]

You should aim for the head while ulting if possible, but a big strength of soldier ult is actually that you can maximize movement without a loss in kill potential where normally his hitscan is about carefully balancing how much movement you do to dodge and how much aim you have by not dodging. Basically you should always be minimizing your movement when you can to land shots and dodging however much is necessary, but since you’ll be focused in your ult you should spam the crap out of the most annoying to hit movement while being focused.

[@VagaBond376]

There is also biotic animation cancel by activation ult

[@h_haz]

although you deal extra damage with headshots, the point of his ult is you don’t have to aim

[@Dunmuir]

Even the best players don’t average anywhere near 100% headshot accuracy. So it’s a massive buff regardless

[@Ninjapizza8247]

I did not know about the headshot one so I will be sure to do just that

[@diguac]

Soldier rocket jumping? Why does that sound sooo familiar?

[@Dunmuir]

I dunno 😏

[@Juno101]

Me: "struggles with basic aim with Solider and similar heroes." Ah yes, very useful for me...

[@snoopystock6928]

Wow, I'm old and didn't know about the headshots in ult. I must have forgot about it. Then again I don't play soldier that much

[@gunsarefun4618]

I thought his ult automatically aimed for the enemies head and all you had to do was pull the trigger I guess I was wrong

[@richardkarig1099]

Same lol

[@colddeath37]

Me jumping around with soldiers ult

[@sublimetoast1441]

I never knew his ult headshot... 😅

[@ramgatchalian584]

Rocket jump like soldier from TF2

[@Aruesx]

I've noticed that on stream, Gale_Adelade just does these subconsciously and so casually so it doesn't even stick out.

[@Dunmuir]

Yep, high tier players get these things down to just easy habit

[@shiion6711]

Another big mistake is not reloading and putting down healing station before using ult also the first thing you want to fire with ult is the rocket unless you used it to rocket jump

[@Dunmuir]

Ult auto restores your ammo

[@chawk_]

Could of been 4, most new soldiers and some veteran soldiers don’t use their heal enough. Always place it on the objective or on the payload when fighting, it will make a massive difference. I often finish games with nearly 2k healing. Also if you know a 1v1 is coming, you can place it early and bait the enemy to go to you. Easy dps 1v1s

[@Dunmuir]

It’s better to hold it for yourself when you’re on the flank. There’s plenty enough healing in this game you don’t often need to use it for your team

[@goldenknight6026]

I learnt about rocket jumps earlier today

[@Dartnitt]

you can also skip healing pod animation with a rocket or ulti

[@mEtil5656]

The #1 mistake new players make is actually having a way bigger impact than some animation cancels. People tend to not utilise soldier's insane movement. Get to highground, flank, whatever. Stay at your location for short amount of time and then reposition again

[@interstellar3167]

Headshots on visor 😨😨 no one told me nothing about that

[@nightsky9380]

Missed arguebly most important animation cancel The ult & healing combo

[@NOGREATNAME]

Those who played tf2 when it comes to rocket jumps

[@koc0090]

healing station animation cancel into ultimate

[@nyomanari3994]

Correct me if im wrong but you actually don’t need to aim for the head on his ult, just get your round thing in the middle of your crosshair to the torso area highlighted with a diamond shape and it will still do crit damage

[@MrColorblind]

Did you know that bastion can grenade jump

[@Naughtowll01]

Fyi Zaria can rocket jump I’ve never seen anyone use it but me tbh

[@Dunmuir]

True! You can use this to get back from spawn faster too

[@allahbless2278]

Bruh everyone already knows

[@blaziard683]

Thanks for the tips!

[@callumtorrance9180]

You should have mentioned visor heal field animation cancel :(

[@mackan329]

Soldier 76 is pretty underrated in my opinion. And if you practice you can get extremely good aim with him.

[@swanletsecondchannel8533]

I didn't even know his ult didn't go for headshots

[@Dunmuir]

Gotta do some extra work now lolol

[@StephaneLevs]

For the rocket jump, do you jump first then shoot the helix or the opposite or both at the same time?

[@Dunmuir]

Same time 🤔

[@Cr7ptid]

I wish they’d remove the aimbot part of his ultimate lol
