How NOT to ROAM Against Good Players || Rainbow Six Siege Tips

[@brandon4801]

You can be rewarded for the enemies lack of skill and you can be rewarded for your own skill. But what makes the difference is that you can always rely on your own skill. You can't always rely on the enemy team's lack of skill.

Very well put!!

[@squidwardo7074]

The only job you have as a a roamer is to waste time. Say for example you waste 2 minutes of the enemy's time, they can't just forget about you and go and plant the defuser, because they will be flanked, but they can't just hold angles on you until the game is over either. God damn this fucking game has so much depth i love it

[@birubu]

There are 3 playstyles for roamers: 1. Map roamer - runs around the whole map - denies movement through key rooms (e.g. corridors, key rooms, entry points, etc) 2. Objective roamer - stays in rooms near the obj, usually with direct entryways to the objective - acts a little like a mobile anchor - puts pressure on enemies trying to push against anchors on obj 3. Lurker - finds a hiding spot and waits - sneaks up on enemies from behind - works with the element of surprise Map roamers put pressure on enemies moving through the map, forcing them to waste time being too cautious Objective roamers try to prevent anchor counters from using their abilities (e.g. hibana blowing up black mirrors) Lurker works well if you know where to hide, away from drones, as well as when to move

Great deconstruction of the difference between two player levels. THIS is what should be on the "How to be Diamond" videos. It's a truly different mindset. Droning more, learning how to hold angles, peaker's advantage, map knowledge, etc -- those are all, let's be real, rather basic concepts for the Siege playerbase and THEY ARE NOT going to take you anywhere near Plat. You'll be lucky to get out of silver solo-queueing. The difference in mindset is ultimately a result of how each player experiences the game. Probably 90% of all people playing Siege, their instinctive play style is uber-cautious turtle-mode. When you first start out, you get caught off-guard ALL THE DAMN TIME. Since you die so quickly in Siege, reacting is out of the question. You have to know about things before they happen. So you realize that if you're going to win, you have to get the drop on the enemy. But your mindset never actually changes. The same cowering and hiding habits that made you an easy target in the beginning are still there. All of your success relies on surprise (hiding, holding angles, peaks and runouts) and the cluelessness of the enemy (no drones, no coordination, no challenges). There are no Gold players. Rather, the gold ranks are a land of trial and tribulation. Some may ascend to the other side of Platinum through their own skill or more likely by getting boosted by other teammates. Many will fall back to Gold or be in constant fear of de-ranking. If they solo-queue enough, they will reach their true rank of Silver. THE LIFE STORY OF A SILVER When you first start out, you get caught off-guard ALL THE DAMN TIME. Somebody holds some pixel peak on you and they kill you. You sprint out of spawn and get killed. You get killed by runouts and peaks. You enter a room and they're hiding in the corner and they kill you. Somebody does an Ash Rush and they kill you while you're still putting up a wall reinforcement. They always get the drop on you. So then you realize that if you're going to win, you have to get the drop on THEM. So you start holding pixel peaks. You learn some peaks and runouts. You start camping entrances from above or below the floor. And you get kills and you start winning more. If you play in a 5-stack, you probably start winning enough matches where you start to play against players that are actually good. And they start pre-firing all the spawnpeaks and pre-firing common holds and droning you out. They're not clueless and they're not making stupid mistakes, so you never get any kills and you lose. All your previous victories came from taking advantage of an enemy's weakness, but what happens when they're not weak? You are nullified each round. You do nothing for your team, and people start getting toxic because they're worried about de-ranking.

Bandito Ate My Dorito tips from a fellow anchor and some stuff I’ve learned over a few seasons: a big part of anchoring is knowing when and when not to be on cams and using your utility to constantly givecallouts on what the enemy is doing (dependent on operator obviously)being able to relay where the enemies main attack is coming to the roamers is huge. Ex: lesions gu should be placed in common locations just outside the obj early in the round so you can tell roamers hey, they got 1 guy in “x” room, see if you can put pressure on him.

Great vid, and spot on observation. I might be the only one but I’d like to see more of this exact R6 theory, more content, more examples etc. Because in watching this one vid I feel like I’ve got more to think about, act on and practice than maybe a dozen of your others that I really like. While it does take a bunch of skill to get to this realization regarding roaming, it more importantly takes real insight with regards to your weaknesses which anyone who has ever “mastered” anything in life will affirm, is a very strong sign that you’re actually growing in the skill you’re working to master. Maybe do an on going mini series titled “Roaming; Come and Get It Style”! I’m actually really excited to have something new to focus on while playing tonight and tomorrow etc. Thank you for the insight that likely took you years to realize! Pretty cool gift, I appreciate it.

[@sethwalton2686]

I do agree with you I think more roamers need to play for map control and stalling time instead of going for the easy kills, instead it’s best to let the attackers know where you are, and then out play them for the kills, or rotate to a position which allows you to get the kill. Or if you wanna play even more passive don’t go for kills at all and make them fight to kill you, and use their aggressiveness and need to kill you as a way to ruin there final attack. Stuff like that is what people need to do, rather than flanking at the last second, play for control of the map, and make the attackers deal with you and if they don’t bite them in the ass.

Matthew Grim yeah use caveira when you want to roam tight corners and areas like house or yacht or favela cuz in high ranks like everybody has headphones so cav is good for those, and vigil for roaming long hallways since they won’t hear you nor be able to drone you out.

[@TheUndeadPyroYT]

Matthew Grim oh and as soon as the attackers spawn check the cams and see where they spawn to go to that side of the map and roam and if the cams are already taken out then listen for gunshots cuz plats and diamonds tend to prefire windows at the beginning just to scare off spawn peekers

[@DetectiveWarden]

as a (vigil/ela) roamer i go where i think the enemy will be coming from i either stall and waste their times or take some of them with me causing as much damage as i can. when i play cav i lurk in some corner try and find that one guy pushing alone and get the interrogation and it usually gets the round if my team can get those kills.

Mattias Wåhlin literally lol. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people say “shit they’ve got cav” or “where is cav” it’s like her of all operators has a physiological effect on the attackers lol. In low ranks she will mean nothing as they are unaware of her flank ability and no direct counters but in high ranks she actually has no counter and is very strong in the right hands + the longer the round goes on for without seeing her the more concerning it gets. I agree with everything get flanked says in this video but with cav it’s a different story. She could literally be sat under a table reading a book and the enemies will be wasting time checking their back just for the simple fact she’s present “somewhere”

[@zwykhg364]

I started playing this game again this year, when i played this game before in like 2017 i thought i was good at roaming (classical gold mentality, i know), sat in dark corners as cav or jäger and did decently, positive win/loss & K/D and all, so it worked well enough to have me continue doing it. But after getting back into the game now i unlocked Lesion, and i heard he was good as a "shallow roamer", so i guessed i could do that, don't roam too far, and man it has worked well for me with almost 2.5 K/D with that guy and also carrying rounds (almost played him as much as my old fav roamers), also his gadget cemented the idea of gadgets being used for info gathering. It has worked out well for me when applying this to other roamers too. This video just reinforces that idea that challenging is better than playing peekaboo. I also barely played anchor before, i learned to respect that more since coming back, i always had my friends play anchor because i thought that because i had slightly better aim than them i should play the cooler role (i know, this sounds absolutely childish and stupid...but hey, i never said i was a pro). Let's hope i've learned my *lesion* and that i might get to plat some day. Not sorry about the pun.

[@leahthomas4694]

[@agostodandrea3589]

Can you make a switching angles tutorial especially after being droned out? It is something I've had to learn in my transition from high gold to plat 3

[@bigpeenerpeen]

Agosto D'Andrea just change your position if you're droned out. Most good people will prefire that spot and even listen for your rotation. Make it hard to predict. If you're standing on the right side of a door leaning left, crouch and listen for them. If you know where the drone came from you can setup a weird angle that'll be hard for them to counter. Like lean right on the left side of the door prone and prefire. Harder to predict than you moving to another corner. Just play mind games. Think "what would I do if I was that attacker" then change it up

[@derickdemarco6206]

Using people against themselves is what I usually do. IE knowing when they have to reload or tracking another target. It's honestly in my blood to flank people. You've provided great examples of what I've experienced as a roamer. IE running back to the OBJ cause everyone else is dead, because I provided no resistance to the enemy team. They have sight lines and map control. I don't.... I either clutch or I die. Awesome wisdom. It made me rethink on how I want to play r6. Thanks!

This guy has the right mindset. I see a lot of players just make poor decisions despite having good map knowledge, they just fail to go smart routes and win gunfights as they stand still waiting for the enemy to repeek (only to get headshotted because they’re standing still and not moving to switch up against the enemy) and don’t have a proper understanding of the fundamentals that win rounds. I can’t speak for consoles, but on PC, if you can’t aim and keep good movement, you’ll be stuck in gold. I see very few plat players that don’t know these basic fundamentals.

[@Achilleas_1996]

@@rixuanzheng9593 I know the maps man I play since D1 is just that I can't guess from where the attackers will come, most of the times I'm waiting on a spot and the attackers are coming in from different parts of the map, for example let's say the objective is the second floor and I'm like should I spawn kill, should I go to the 1 floor and move around or go to the 3rd floor

[@edmondwijling5535]

Achilles 1996 go to a spot where there is a lot of options for rotations, like a staircase for example. Get there early and watch cams to establish where they spawned and from that information you can make a good guess of where they’ll be entering the building. Rotate to the expected point of entry and try to waste as much time as possible and maybe get some kills in the process. There’s only so many ways for the attackers to enter the building so when you roughly know where they come from, you go to the entry point and you’ll take it from there. The more you do this, the more you can predict the entry points of the enemy team and it will become easier as you learn. Hope this helped a bit and good luck on your roams!!

[@guysolomon8926]

A roamer's biggest ally is the clock, and I think too many people put too much emphasis on the fragging aspect of roaming. I feel like as a roamer I have done my job if I can effectively waste half the enemy team's round trying to get rid of me, even if I don't kill them, or even if I die, if I waste 2 minutes of their round that they could be spending pushing the objective, I have done my job. I agree though, hiding and reappearing is a stupid strategy that lower level people use when teams are not communicating as well or as knowledgeable about flanking routes. Roamers are there to waste attacker time off site and delay their push or make taking the objective more challenging.

I play in low plat elo and had always done the deep dark corner thing getting to that rank because it used to work really well against lower ranks which is the reason it has been so hard to change the mindset. I ended up switching over to playing a hard anchor all the time because roaming wasnt working out as well for me in this elo.

[@dankvada4588]

the reason why it doesnt work = drones in prep phase. most maps have 1-2 main choke points that connect the different floors/wings/areas (popular / safe rotation spots). drone placement in prep phase in those areas tells u everything. how many roamers, operators, where they goin etc. with jackal all u have to do is enter near that area and scan him. hes dead in 30 sec. no jackal u drone him out, drone entry fraggers in, cut him off and also hold angles on main rotation/escape routes. if hes good he can waste some time and get 1-2 kills. most cases he walks into a angle that is being helt. u just roam cleared and defenders radius is cut to a 1/3, 1/4 of the map and u can start pressuring obj. Deep roams dont work vs good players/teams period. Yet playing off side holding down a chocke point or popular entry point is where its at. ideally ur a patient player that knows what angles are to ur advantage and understands how to reposition and not to peek everything. ur #1 goal is to delay the push / limit attackers radius and being a pain in the ass. kills are a plus. going to try to ace will get u killed within few seconds. a cool strat i like is to duo roam. even if u get killed ur buddy is able to kill trade. if u manage to kill 1-2 attackers and one of the 1-2 of the duo roamers survive u can start collapsing on the remaining attackers and flank / pressure them - thats what works in high ranks ps: ur chances to not get droned out / scanned so easy go up when u have good anchor players that know that they are supposed to reinforce hatches & they have to get on cams once the round starts so u have some counter intel and can make decision to take a fight or not (reposition / fall back)

[@mymaingotbanned_not5816]

The part where people dont think they are good enough for something but still do it is a big problem for many players. When I sometimes play casual I see someone choose cav but then they roam around the map where they get tracked by jackel and start making bad plays where they attempt to take on a 4v1 at once.

Thank god for this video, I hope more people see it. Even in low plat people still don’t know how to roam and it’s frustrating as hell. Diamond/Plat 1 is unreachable as a solo-queuer I swear

I felt like this video was to a damn T, directed right at me. The number of times I found myself away from site with the bomb planted and my teammates dead, playing on their lack of skill is just to many to count. Just like you said, yeah it works sometimes, but against good teams you just can’t come in and clutch a 1v3 4 or 5 against good communicating teams (at least I can’t) and this video is just what I needed to open my eyes to what I was doing wrong and how to get better, or at least improve my skill to help my other teammates out, great video man, keep up the good work

[@swaggurke5310]

I think roaming with cav is different though beacause of silencestep you can surprise the enemy really well and run around fast to rotate

[@astepgaming8775]

Yes silent step helps but when playing against a solid team the same concepts in this video apply. There’s a reason why she is almost never touched in pro league

[@brokkoliomg6103]

I have something around 150hrs in Siege now. And God, I loooove roaming. Also, your videos are helping a lot. I also like the drone spots you showed here on the channel. When roaming, I don't know all the perfect angles but I'm still good. Always improving. Live to fight another day also helped me a lot. I can fully agree on the things you said. Now I'm just silver to gold in ranked... which is actually bad for so many playing hours. In my opinion. I just need to play more ranked to learn how and what the best mindset is there. And that's so much more difficult than in casual, but I need to challenge myself. Alright great video. Keep it up flanked^^

[@peak_me_lol1042]

I saw this video earlier today and it really opened my eyes on what being a roamer is about. I thought to myself if id ever had that moment that i thought this is why i want to play this game i couldn’t think of anything but i kept playing the game and just a few minutes ago i had that moment i was roaming when i realized i could flank around a get maybe a kill or two and when i went over there, there was 3 enemies not paying attention to the way i flanked and i killed them all then shortly after a few teammates died and it was a 1 v 2 i finished off the last two and got an ace that round. I felt like it came straight out of a movie or something. Anyways, what I’m getting to is that even if you haven’t had that moment don’t get discouraged I’m level 143 and just got it!

[@antm6320]

@Get_Flanked, I got R6 a couple of weeks ago and I was really excited to get the game. I’m a Battlefield player myself and I got the game for a more tactical shooter. I watched most of yours and other people’s videos on tips and tricks but I still don’t get the hang of it. I have all the operators so that’s not a problem but it’s hard for me. I always get picked of quickly. Have any tips? Ur my fav siege yt so far👌 I’m a Xbox console player btw

[@GetFlanked]

In the beginning you might be better off anchoring on defense and sticking with teammates in attack. Try not to get off alone. Keep grinding bro. You will start seeing improvement soon.

meiesssa gamer Not really. You don't just need to roam/anchor good. You also need to have a good headset and a mic, map knowledge and callouts.

YES! A person who understands the idea of facing against people just as skilled or better than you. Just what I needed, thanks so much Get_Flanked!

[@rollingthunder1366]

I would like to point out some things. I'm currently level 110 (not that experienced as you guys probably but I had a really hard time getting on siege. But now I win most of the rounds if I play as a team. My advice: -Roamers have the job to waist time, holding angles and hiding in good areas where there isn't alot of attacking spots to get flanked from - Making callouts where the enemy team spawned, where was the last location of one enemy? etc. (This is extremely important because sometimes you need to hold angles where there is a open window and you can be sure that the chance of a enemy being there is low) so I like to play a hybrid playstyle. -In the first round I try to analyze how the enemy plays. Slow playstyle? Rushing? Many drone use? Which combination do they run? (Breachers, etc.) - In Round 2,3 I usually get in to the mode of understanding how the enemy is playing so I switch between roaming and supporting /anker for my mates. -I create a small mini map in my mind where the enemy could appear from noises, camera spotting etc. I hope this helped some of you guys.

[@peytonrains9663]

[@stxrluke]

No needed words for you..are simply the best on these advices! The main concept is that the game is made of attack and defend, and not attack and hide. Also the best defense is a nice attack.

[@michaelnewton8048]

You got lucky the enemy didn't flank you from behind instead of coming through the bedroom.

[@FacelessKill3R1]

Amazing video GF. I did late flanks when I was low gold and when I started ranking up I found that they don't really work anymore and put more stress into your anchors. Now I am Plat and when I roam I try to hold rooms, angles, areas of importance or entry and try to not to think about my kd. If I kill two enemies and 3rd kills me then it's a good trade. Also callouts, rotations, etc. This video is confirmation for me that I have been playing with higher skill. Also in one of your examples I know you said it's greed but sometimes it's not. You heard other enemies around and they could go for they revive which is bad for you and the team, so sometimes you have to finish the trade no matter what...

Man this video rly makes me rethink my actions as a roamer, ty Get_Flanked

[@SuppositionalBox]

I found when I was Gold 2 that people play in a much more controlled fashion Higher up the food chain. Game play in casual becomes much more consistent, kind of like in ranked, when playing against teams of players as well. What my friends and I always find is that there is always one random solo queue Rambo that plays terribly but can hit head shots at full speed and always causes a problem. The problem isnt from his gun skill but from his randomness. There is no way to quantify his movements to predict his future location, and that is a problem for us as we're constantly babbling over the mic trying to correct the info. What this video showed me, however, is that even this problem can be overcome with a strong enough set of map and role knowledge. Thank You for videos like this!
