A 2023 Guide To Phantom Forces: From Beginner to Pro

[@MoonsFPSStudio]

6 months and 40 GBs later The COMPLETE and definitive Guide to Phantom Forces is FINALLY COMPLETE! *This video serves as a huge visual encyclopedia for new and experienced players alike with timestamps covering almost every individual part of this massive video so feel free to come back and use the timestamps to learn/remind yourself about anything Phantom Forces has to offer*

When you said 6 month and 40gb, I felt that. Especially when you are good at procrastinating

[@frostedwasyeeted]

Isn't that like 1gb for every minute of the video

Protip for desert storm / second storm: If you want to get around the map without being seen, there are underground tunnels that lead to ALL THREE flare positions that basically nobody uses. Works really well most of the time.

The list required to play well; 1: Live close to servers. Because no matter how many times you watch these videos, you will be killed by level 0 Colt LMG because you will play with 120ms.

[@Pigeonsarecut]

A tip for I guess more advanced players on maps that have ladders that aren't straight you can look down and jump and it will boost you the same height as a super jump and while your in the air you can combo it with a super jump to get a massive boost (btw most of those ladders you can use the boost on are on second storm desert storm or suburbia)

[@fush3gaming900]

By the time you uploaded this guide, there are few things that is updated. First, the ranked tab in server browser is available. Second, the top 3 of the winning team is the MVP. Third, torso multi for Type 20 is now 1.1

Yeah thats stylis for ya. Dont update the game for like a year then all of a sudden they decide to rework everything..

This to me is the best guide to phantom forces. It literally tells you EVERYTHING. From attachments to movement mechanics and how to use them. The perfect guide.

[@SumRndmPenguin]

As a somewhat experienced pf player, good job on making this guide. Tho maybe I shouldn't call myself experienced cause I'm still learning stuff from this video despite playing on and off long enough to remember when the m4 was automatic.

[@ssleepykat]

The most helpful tips were taking a second to heal and choosing my fights. I would always just run into people regardless of my conditions. But the whole video helped really, and helped me learn to play smarter and not harder

I’ve been mindlessly playing, but your tips have opened my view of the game.Great video

[@somethings8217]

I kinda have a pf tip I think you should look into and put in your next video. It's just something I've noticed many pro pf players do. When they move around, they're always jumping on top of things and always going on top of the cabinets in metro and such. This allows them to stay safe from unexpected people walking through doorways because they don't normally look up. You should go more in depth about movement and sorts, but great vid overall! I hope you keep making these vids :)

[@finnmarkens1406]

Hey the server browser helps you find specific maps so using it to familiarise urself with the maps leads to you knowing flanking locations and knowing witch route your enemy will take to kill you so use it!

With the most recent recoil and UI update, it has shown to me how great the compensator actually is, it improves grouping a lot on all guns. Before I already knew that it was a good default choice, but not that good

[@1Average.]

Damn this is amazing even tho i cant use this guide right now cause ive been banned half the year and i got to wait till December ive been watching you for a really long time now and i thank you for everything from teaching me how to snipe to just having fun and so much more thank you and this i the most in depth guide i have ever seen about phantom forces i think this is amazing.

I am an experienced player, but the beginning section still gave me useful tips.

[@nixily7]

really appreciate that u put so much effort into this!

[@FlauuPena]

31:17 I want to add that spotting (or sliding) makes your gun points forward immediately, so the first 5 bullets doesn't get shot into the ground.

Good video not gonna lie, as a pretty decent player at pf, I thought this was gonna be geared towards obj bots, but it ended up being pretty informative for all player types

[@themanguy2110]

13:26 False, it affects all closed-bolt guns. Some guns with a magazine that cannot have one in the chamber (open bolt) are the M1 Thompson, M3 Grease Gun, and AUG HBAR

Thanks so much, Moon! Rank 140 something who needed some extra tips on staying alive. Video was incredibly well-made and I appreciate your effort. :D

[@Local...]

Been playing since 2017 summer and even I found some helpful tips. Surprisingly after playing this long I never really took the time to learn and understand attachments so this did help quite a bit.

[@NoName-rd6et]

Pls make a dedicated video for the recoil types in phantom forces its so hard to find anything about it online 😭

[@fush3gaming900]

The recoil is semi-random. The pattern will be randomly generated but the spread and the kick between the first and second shot will be fixed

[@MoonsFPSStudio]

As complicated as it may seem, if you have a decent setup for your gun all you need to do is pull down. Its an 8 year old roblox game after all. However if you want to know more I'd recommend rewatching the advanced stat page segment

[@TituslikesTurtles]

It always bugged me how a game with as great game coding and programming as Phantom Forces for 8 years at this point still doesn't have a proper GUI/setting for some major components of the game like the Votekick system, Uiscale, Menuscale, the (VIP server exclusive) map+gamemode+time limit selection, and even some lacking features that, in my opinion, could really benefit a game like Phantom Forces like an effective loadout overview+maybe some more loadouts, and GUI that is exclusive to some gamemodes like a timer in hardpoint that tells us when the hardpoint rotates as well as an additional UI telling us WHERE the hardpoint will rotate to next. Whereas Bad Business, which is HALF the age of Phantom Forces by the way, has a proper GUI for ALL the features I had mentioned besides the VIP server exclusive map+gamemode+timer selection.

[@MoonsFPSStudio]

Yeah good point. However if you've been following along with the roadmap recently then you'll know that stylis are in the process of updating the games ui

[@TituslikesTurtles]

@@MoonsFPSStudio yeah I am sure of that, the new gui added on the top of your screen during flare domination in the test place actually blew me over, and I also got a chance to talk with a dev (I forgot his name but he had "dragon" in his username) in the test place about what sort of features could *possibly* be added in the future, so I can very much tell you that I like what they are planning on making right now.

[@unstoppblekid]

I’m going to have to watch this more than 10 times. Great video though. Some stuff might help me a little more.

32:14 don’t forget the grenade

[@cameronnewton7053]

Of course i find a video describing the weapon stat page _after_ they completly rework it... also, my balanced loadout is whatever gun i happen to be using and a good pistol that can save my noob ass.

[@Unicode_3164]

the ars suppressor is actually really op as it reduces both horizontal and vertical rexoil, even more than the t brake. check the advanced stats for proof. not only that, but it reduces hipfire spread, makes your gun quieter and you won't appear on the radar depending on how close enemies are from you tl;dr ars suppressor is a better t brake with the upsides of a suppressor.

[@pingyaru]

Dude, this guide is amazing! Thank you very much for the work. Even though i'm rank 200, there's plenty of facts and tips that i didn't know. I think this is one of the best ultimate guide to PF, i've ever watched. Small suggestion: some parts takes a few seconds to understand, like in a part where you explain kick and recoil stats or advanced movement, so maybe add a little pause before jumping to the next explanation, so you don't have to rewind several times? Hope to see more amazing tutorials and guide in the future!

[@EwMusik68KydAvonWestCarti]

Even as a 2-year-player rank 72, This still helped me a lot! Thank you for the amazing tips!

[@murderous_dummy]

I know thise is unrelated to the video, but i have a challenge called moonlight, the challenge is simple, every kill must be done sneakly and silent and, you need to use knifes to backstab and use silencer, bonus points for killing someone and no one notices, you need to reach rank 10 and see how much points you managed to get. (Backstab: 3 points killed with a silencer secondary: 2 points killed with a silenced primary (yes even if its a sniper): 1 point killed with a unsilenced/loud weapon is a -1 point) thise is a good challenge if you love to torture you'reself

[@bannana_hanna4393]

as a shotgun main , my tip for other shotgun mains is use the shotgun the same way you would with a knife , run around and dodge , as a shotgun like the (stevens , DT11) carries only 2 bullets , and don't fight in an open space where there is minimal coverage and likely more enemies to spawn

[@SIRJACOBSTINE]

People are prob going to make fun of me for saying this, but as a rank 78 player, i can see how these would help, and i already use the majority of these tips, but i simply feel like the game is impossible to do good in regardless. The tips, save for stuff like radar, spotting, proper load-outs, and wallbangs, just don’t seem to cut it. The people you fight are just too fast and too accurate for those tips to matter. A good example is your b-roll footage. On most of it, it looks like your playing a completely different game, its like pf on easy mode. The people your against take twice as long to register your existence and are twice as inaccurate than the usual opponents you would run into in a public lobby. All those 4 or 5 person kills would never slide in any lobby i play, for the sole reason that in those 5 men groups, at least 2 people, if not more, will have the reaction speed and accuracy required to 180 and beam you before you can get that sweet multi. Idk if its a skill issue, a sweat issue, a lag issue, or maybe a gun issue, but it feels like no matter how many tips and tricks you try and employ, they all amount to nothing in your average lobby Good video though.

[@lukas54cz71]

Vertical grip works like X ring on sight accurancy, higher kick, lower diplacement and lower rotational plus it gives you 10% aimm gun recovery speed which I find it better than Pistol grip on some guns.

[@danielcruz3519]

Amazing work here my guy

[@pareidoliaii1550]

even learning with this guide am still getting killed by some 200 rank with two shots and doging every bullet of mine

[@NetullaGD]

For mouse sensitivity, I just use the normal 0.814 in PF and just customize it on my mouse and Roblox itself. Then I'm sure I won't have to worry about other FPS games that use the same default sens as PF does in Roblox... Edit: I have ragdolls on, but with the max fun factor, because it's fun to see ragdolls just fly around the map in desert storm or get stuck in places they normally couldn't

[@antsraidcoc9927]

I've got abit of experience on phantom forces i'd say, and I found a movement only a couple rank 200's seem to use, or put simply people just don't know about it. So when u amp or emp slide whatever u call it, you wait for urself to almost stop sliding then Space bar (Jump). This'll make ur jump like .25x higher (idk the actual math of it) and its so OP. I use it to throw people off when i peek, since "peeker's advantage" is also a thing and works well with this, and I think you can also do a zingy slide after you fall down from the jump, or you can super jump like .5 seconds after. Just imagine how OP at throwing your enemies off this'll be at CQC. Although, i'm not too sure about the zingy slide (I forgot if it works), and can't test it out since my pc is broken lol. Hope this'll help, just a discovery i found since i kept on wondering how the hell lvl 200's jump that high without even super jumping.

[@MoonsFPSStudio]

Yeah thats emp sliding. Its a movement mechanic that had to get reworked cuz of speed hackers. Before it used to be really good for speed too but now mudsliding is superior. However as you said emp sliding does indeed make you jump higher which can be goof to catch people by surprise with tall boxes or haybales

[@antsraidcoc9927]

@@MoonsFPSStudio oh i thought i found a new movement but nvm 💀, but ye emp sliding is literally op, especially if u dont immidiately press jump after just a second to the slide, just like I said wait for you to slow down abit then jump like when it almost ends I like it more this way cuz you slide longer and jump higher, also a low cooldown like this cuz u rlly use all the sliding, you can easily get to boxes and helps me in metro. BUT KEEP UP THE VIDEOS MAN, I find ur nade skills satisfying.

My experience is that snipers need a fainted sight. Use a small scope like the pka sight at close range and a medium scope in medium. Long range, you want a small diameter but good zoom scope so you get best fov with your cainted sight.

the most helpfull thing to learn by far is emp sliding, if you are fast you dont need good aim or anything because the enemys cant hit you and even if you die you get back to the fight in 2 millisecconds (imo)
