Population One - From n00b to Pro in 5 Easy Steps + 4 Bonus Tips

[@joeburns9241]

Tip: Learn to lead your shots. In Population: One, the bullets do not drop over a long distance like a bullet would naturally do in real life because of gravity, BUT, bullets in pop one still have travel time. So if your shooting at someone that’s moving, aim in front of them a few feet, knowing that by the time the bullet leaves the barrel of your gun, and gets to the enemy you’re shouting at a few seconds have passed, which means the enemy has moved forward a bit, so my shooting at the spot a few feet in front of the enemy, you’re basically making the enemy run into your billets path.

I did this and... THEY STOPPED MOVING😂😂😂

[@Anthonytwan420]

When you kill someone you can build builds around them and the ghost can't escape

[@SavageKilla]

how would you know if u trapped them though???

One of the things I like to practice in the lobby is what I call "Death from above". I practice swooping in and or coming around a corner in the air and keep fire on one person. I finally got that one hand climb down! lol

[@DashSpaceski]

I have only ever 1 handed climbing. Thanks to a year of "The Climb"! Great game.

[@MrWhitty2000]

Dude - I like your content a LOT. Keep up the great work.

[@MacInVR]

Thanks mate, appreciate the support 🙂

[@robsmith5434]

If I spot a team of basic PJs, my immediate thought is “These guys are at least Level 40 and will be hot dropping.”

[@MacInVR]

Damn...shouldn't have told everybody! 🤔😳🙄🙂😂

[@Brythemagicguy1]

That is what i do

[@robertweekes5783]

I really like the level 30 popped collar PJ, I look cool but still look like a noob from a distance 😉

[@MacInVR]

We played as base PJ's the other day, I'm level 52, Surj and Crash are both 60. Felt like cheating 😀

[@ravd123]

Top Tips. Thx. I like the Plonker Ref and image of Rodney :) I wonder how many people watching this vid will get the reference.

[@bluesstoney]

Great Vid Mac. I never played video games. I am likely close your age and recently got intrigued into Pop1 by my son. First I sucked. Because of that I added strategy and since then I ran for cover, physically kneeled down or used building walls most of the time to stay alive and finish the remaining team with my mates. Surely I’ll give your tips a try, especially one-hand climbing. One day (I play a female, also to be underestimated Lol) my microphone was disabled, and a cool teammate kinda carried me through till victory. That’s fun.

[@MacInVR]

Welcome to the fold, it gets expensive from here 😉😂

[@IndieVR]

THANKS for the shoutout mate! Top man, are you putting up a gameplay video?

[@firevr]

Well deserved fella, love your stream on Twitch. That video of the guy who was acting weird is hilarious, I watch it over and over again. Funny as when you guys finally double tap him. I imagine it will go viral when people see it. What’s the link to it? Is it possible to send it to people who don’t have Twitch?

[@ChrisCoughlin-nh3sc]

i like this guy, especially the opening where he reacts to the title page. you never see that

[@MacInVR]

I like you too 😍

[@ChrisCoughlin-nh3sc]

awesome tips my friend! Thanks!

[@TacoMyrick]

Good info. Thanks for sharing

[@eddielonestar7962]

Nice vid Mac and thanks for the tips. Communication is paramount in this game. I agree, the win is more important than the kills. Sadly, many play just for the kills. Plenty of fun to be had no matter the age. Hopefully see you in game one day. All the best. 😁

[@kevinashley478]

Or, you can chase the repeating sound of a door breaking, until you realize it's a glitch. Of course that realization only comes after you spend 5 minutes in the house trying to locate and pinpoint the location.

[@firevr]

Love this channel, very informative, super useful and down to earth. My first port of call if I need to know something re; VR. I’m new to the whole gaming thing, and of course VR so this channel has been invaluable. When I need advice I always “Make Mac in Vr 1” and the “Stop”😉 is sent (problem solved) shortly after. Surjical is a cracking lad too, and has been equally as helpful with all things gaming, played with him a few times and his streams are often hilarious to watch. Cheers lads, keep up the good work! ✊👨‍🚒

[@barrackus8382]

Great video. I knew and do most of it. However I am struggling to one hand climb quickly. Can you do a video on that.

[@d.a.studiosgaming7783]

When I'm in defiance I usually go down the ladders and never hit bottom floor unles I have a shotgun or smg. I will nade it if I hear something but that's always risky.

[@tattoodrdoke]

Throw barrier grenades whilst gliding in or across.

Good point, but they actually weren't available when I made this video 😉

My biggest tip is try to see someone and get more than 0 damage before the game ends.

In settings, weapons, turn motion damping to 100% the off-hand influence to 0. Try that
