[BF5] Being a BETTER Infantry Player - 15 Tips & Tricks for Infantry Combat in BFV! [LevelUP]

[@Pedr0Diniz]

If you're playing a game where you can't find a functional squad and constantly feel like you're alone vs the enemy team, play behind your teammates with a mid-long range weapon and equip a 3x scope on it. You'll feel much more useful while relying less on squadmates. The Bren Gun, Gewehr 43 and ZH-29 are my favorites for this.

[@Ragefps]

Sounds like you need to find a platoon. I don't know how you can put up with solo play you must have much more patience than me lol

Yea true I is the zh- myself along with a m1 I prefer it over the gewer

[@roberthaskin1723]

I'm a bf 1 player, and I've noticed teams that stick together and actually try and take the objectives do better. Players that just go and do their own thing end up usually end up dead

[@aldcar]

I respect everyone who can actually properly pronounce words from another language - not being their main - so Defined, my brother, the Ribeyrolle at 8:05 was perfect. We need more of that.

[@DefinedDisaster]

Appreciate it :)

[@InvertedGigachad]

Tap fire with the Sturmgewehr 44 is EXTREMELY effective

[@josephaounallah8955]

Ye I love how they taste the wrath of the German superior technology -it’s the father of all adult weapons btw And the Russian got its idea too make the AK-47

Ive adopted my gunplay with the m16a3 from bf3 to that gun, only issue is im not a medic anymore so i always push too aggressively

[@beastabuelos6421]

I think the health management tip is a huge one. The only time I heal when I could just regen is if I NEED that full health. I see people healing when they've taken literally 2 damage from a little fire on the ground and I cringe. Knowing when and which targets to engage, is another really good tip. In fact, it's so important, I may even label is as an advanced tip, or at least advanced level of importance. I guess I could add a tip to it to make it advanced. Pay attention to where your team is and what they're doing. Too many times, I get my position revealed by a trigger happy team mate when I'm on a flank. Try not only to keep your own position secure, but that of your team mates as well. I have 2 tips to add. First, know when to deploy your bipod and when not to. This goes for ALL weapons with bipods, from LMGs, the ZK383, any sniper or SLR with a bipod from the spec tree and even the MMGs and AT rifles. If you have time to bipod and get that accuracy, do it. But you need to know when you can't. All too many times I see MMG players running around and I get the edge on them and they try to drop. It's so predictable and the delay gets them killed 99% of the time. Unless the enemy is at medium range, all the MMGs are accurate enough with their enhanced hip fire to compete with most of the weapons, unless the enemy has a mid-high ROF SMG. And if you are very close to someone with a weapon like that, most of the MMGs have high enough fire rates to beat them too. If you get caught at the threshold of short-medium range with an MMG, bursting works with them too. Don't just hold that trigger. Do controlled bursts and you may just win. There's a reason my favorite thing to do is run around with the 1200 RPM MG42 ;) The AT rifles too. They shoot pretty straight in enhanced hip fire. I love surprising people with a meaty 1 shot in close quarters. My second tip is pretty advanced. Pay attention to enemy outfits, weapons and names. If the best guy on the other team is wearing a helmet and gray clothes, using an STG, keep note of that. If you see them, you'll know that you need to work a little harder to beat them. As for names, this is most useful when defending a position. If you're holding a spot and you kill someone, check their name. Keep an eye on the scoreboard to see if they've respawned or not. If they're an average or better player and they see you haven't moved much from where you killed them, they'll probably come back for revenge. Knowing that they're alive gives you a big advantage.

[@Mr-Hakim]

Beastabuelos good tips

[@DefinedDisaster]

AT Rifles are especially deadly with their hip-fire, haven't experimented to much with the MMGs. I actually find myself recognising players during matches not only by their outfits but the positions they are playing and their movement. Very useful when trying to understand if you are about to go up against a CQB SMG or long-range ZH-29.

[@Flyfi43]

My favorite tip which you display but don't say is to utilize the practice range. My game has been steadily improving since I picked the habit of warming up for a few minutes on the range. I don't hear/see many players advocate for it but I want DICE to upgrade it so that all weapons and specializations can be used there.

[@likeasonntagmorgen]

great vid, man! but then they always are ; ) the jump to high level play is all about prediction and planning imho. a common example is when you're in a fight with an enemy where you both have cover, lets say around the outside of a house, you duck back behind cover - PREDICTION: enemy will be waiting for you to peek - PLAN: quickly run around and flank. ultimately, it's about knowing how the enemy will behave and using this knowledge to become unpredictable yourself, giving you a massive advantage by controlling the flow of the battle!

[@DefinedDisaster]

Understanding how enemies move and what pathing they are going to choose to engage you is indeed a massive thing. For the most however this is something you can only really acquire through experience.

[@likeasonntagmorgen]

@@DefinedDisaster i suppose that's true, but knowing is half the battle!

[@Kartoffelbasis]

Great tips and tricks man keep up the good work

[@ZayTheSailor]

My father is like a beast with impact grenades, he is the only person I know to truly utilize it, he seems to always find an unpopular weapon's true potential edit: With the intermediate tip on lying prone to reduce damage from explosions ( 6:50 ) I think that also explains why I survived the explosion from a JB-2 edit 2: Also if you crouch and walk, it makes you very silent, very good for ambushes in urban areas or CQC(Close Quarters Combat), but very good in general, just make sure to strike at the right time, but don't be too patient or you will become the sitting duck, but don't strike too early, good against tanks especially, also good for those recon class players and those crack commando assaults.

[@Antramblings]

If you are struggling equip 97 round Lewis gun .

[@Ragefps]

the go to weapon for those having a shitty game and who worry about being seen with a less than 2kd for a round

[@ZayTheSailor]

@@Ragefps Now i feel pride for having a 0.8 KD, mostly because im the only one that dont get so butt hurt over shit and therefore wont decide to go on a maxed out lewis grass cutting expedition

[@Ragefps]

@@ZayTheSailorgood to hear. unfortunately for me i only enjoy a game when i go well :( Dont be like me haha

[@X-SunSlayer-X]

you forgot about the most MLG tip. -go assault/support -equip 3x scopes -profit

[@tater4462]

Or The Tommy or sten for the medic

[@X-SunSlayer-X]

@@tater4462 well if you compare the STEN to all other weapons in the game you will find it does not really hold a candle to any of them simply by looking at engagements from 0-30m you are somewhat capable but will loose out to all but the Ribeyrolles. now the tommy will give you an edge from 0-15ish meters but that is about it and then again you are even more limited then all other classes. but hey lets just buff the support and assault more am i right:)

[@Ra_heem]

@@X-SunSlayer-X Agreed, if you have the skill, the sten is irreverent compared to every other SMG available.

[@Steppy-qx9tq]

I formerly used a 3x scope for the STG44, it was accurate for medium and often long ranged engagements but the main drawback was close range engagements against enemies that had superior weapons in terms of close range combat. The delay of aiming down the sights and the inferior hip fire would make you lose against most 1v1’s against weapons such as SMG and shotguns at close range.

[@chrisperry5097]

Good tips. I'm an old guy and suck at fps games but like them anyway. I see now why I'm so bad and constantly get slaughtered lol! I just bought the game a few weeks ago and haven't played ps4 in 3 years so hopefully I can put these tips, especially the map tips, to good use.

Hip fire feels weird on Xbox controller. I’m not used to only pressing one trigger to shoot

[@choughed3072]

I get that, I have to really think about it and doesn't feel natural.

[@truenemesisprime550]

I wish you would show which gun you are using I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't tell just by looking at the gun. It would be very helpful. Oh and great tips man.

ZH29 not the example Ida used for aggressive vs non aggressive play. That thing I find myself killing SMG guys at 5m range. Most op gun in the game for sure. Great vid btw 🤙🏼

[@tonybritt1674]

Great video. Please keep vids like this coming. Isn't there a way to go prone quicker, as well as a way to get up faster from the prone position? There was a way to do this in BF4 after being revived.

[@rinkokonoe8644]

Hold b to go prone quickly and sprint to get out of prone quickly

[@harmonised8353]

THANK YOU for making this awesome video! Superb tips, loved it!!

[@ethanilsley9496]

I’ve been playing cod on console ever since I was six years old. I never hip fire, it’s just never crossed my mind but I see these pc players running around rarely ADS’ing. My question is, as a console player should I start learning to hip fire or stick to aiming?

[@neopolitan9156]

Learn to do a bit of everything so your fairly prepared for either situation

[@evanmarogen]

In an up close engagement ads takes time so it's good to hipfire. If your opponent is hipfiring with a shotty though you might be screwed unless either he misses or has the hand eye coordination of a potato.

[@Ragefps]

Awesome vid! As a nearly 5kd player people should be paying attention to you rather than supposed good players like jackfrags and the broken machine. As a tanker who dreams of dropping casual 90 bombs on foot regularly (best is 80-12 revived 7 times) I sure will be watching these videos. Thanks for the tips!

[@DefinedDisaster]

Haha thanks for the support! Thing about players like JackFrags is that he is significantly better at shooters in general whereas I focus almost exclusively on Battlefield and thus may have the edge there :)

[@Ragefps]

@@DefinedDisaster are you going to give MW a go? A friend who played the alpha reckons its pretty damn good

[@DefinedDisaster]

Seriously considering it. But I first need to get back to a proper BFV schedule. That won’t happen until mid Sep. A decision will likely soon follow. Will ask the community when the time comes though. Any specific content you would want to see for MW?

[@Ragefps]

@@DefinedDisaster perhaps a first impressions vid to kick it all off considering most players will hold off until after launch considering where BFV was at launch. That way hopefully you can pick up more viewers as many people will be trying to find out what its like before purchase

[@evildoctortaco]

3.35 KD and yeah these are definitely all things I try to use, and don’t forget just PAY ATTENTION. Check your mini map often, look where your teammates are both alive or recently killed, figure out where enemies likely are and set up a flank or ambush. Doing that with the right guns is deadly

Defined Disaster 4.51, 70% of my time is playing recon. My biggest thing is pre aiming and retreating, retreating is key. Like you said players have that “Do or die” mentality. And that mentality is bad
