"Swing or be Swung" -Yoboyroy 2021

[@andrewlawrence5299]

I remember King George saying this back in 2017 tho lol

[@ltjimdangle2003]

I came here to say this

It’s just basic math guess I know who’s stuck in bronze (me)

[@jxmxz5453]

But it's wrong, if you do that and he cuts the pie currently it's still 1 angle where as if you play in the corner it's an odd position so it's less likely to be checked and you can also see enemy when they are going to next door and clearing angles in service

[@etanwinty]

​@Jxmxz if they're clearing normally and you swing while they're clearing they have to flick to aim at you before you have the aim on them

[@ryanbishop1522]

​@@jxmxz5453 yea but it's probably still better for a 50/50 to kill them before they can check every angle instead of hoping they don't see you or fuck up some how🤷

[@ItzGoose]

Honestly the main problem that causes bad plays like this is fear or lack of confidence in gun fights. As I say just go into every gun fight thinking you’ve already won

[@xavierkishayinew4627]

And get fried

[@ItzGoose]

@@xavierkishayinew4627 you win some you lose some but yea you’ll get fried 😂

[@CurseSeer4561]

This is really good advice.

[@joebenjamin7465]

Honestly confidence is key, no better way to build up your gun skill than by taking as many gunfights as you can 🤷‍♂️ obviously always try to position yourself well beforehand and prepare so you have the advantage, but don’t be scared to just take the fight

[@mrleo8968]

You dont always need cover, you just need to outsmart them

Uncommon angles are truly a pro's best friend

[@jewls272]

This is a great tip for every single FPS game it's weird to know that a lot of people don't already know stuff like this but great advice

[@5karlet.]

I thought this stuff was common sense

[@kadequakenbush5245]

Holding an angle like that is fine for when you’ve made the attacker think they’ve cleared an area. Holding a passive, off angle means that by the time you can see them, they’ve already checked the area around you, likely meaning they’ve got their back to you. It’s a bit safer (since you’re not taking the gunfight head-on), but it requires not being droned out.

[@Thawhid]

True

[@kingvelard]

you are describing a bad attacker. this works on bad attackers. it doesn't work on good attackers in any consistent sense

[@R6Seagull]

No matter where I stand, I get pre fired. Like they knew exactly where I’m at without droning.

[@amandaisbananas420]

I love how u put this because I noticed Ive done that too.

[@holdenthighe8161]

And low ping too, but yeah it’s called peakers advantage and prefire advantage

[@Stoggers]

Okay now do this for every angle in the game

[@dankim7831]

"Play time, don't risk it" "Peeker's advantage. Just push in" What am I supposed to do boss

[@H3rraM4juri]

just take aggressive swings if its like 2v1 or 3v1 etc but if its 1v1 then take time (if you have time) and play your cards right

[@DavidVelasquez-nk8vx]

Y'all ever have a good peak that u made and u go away for a second and that one trash teammate reinforces it😭😭😭😭

[@ripwakez955]

my problem is im always afraid of dying from behind. Like ill be confdent in the fight in front of me. But i have this weird feeling someones going to come from a different way

Sieges audio is so good I can always tell when they are coming

[@xclusiveeee]

Damn this makes so much sense and really think it helped me a lot.

[@phorty2]

Thanks man, I think this will definitely help me improve my gameplay and positioning. Great video

[@Kadori328]

Everytime I hold an angle I just get instantly headshot like they have the reaction times of Zeus or some shit

Most ive learned while defending is that if they dont know that u know then go but if they know find where they dont know

[@wildbuzzzard2897]

Great tip thanks I hope I don’t forget this lol

[@freshweezyboy1733]

Glad to see this game is still getting some content. Miss it

[@Adam-du4ke]

Bro this cut is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jfurnace022]

thorn is the most underrated defender, she has the m870 which is a really good shotgun, and the c75 auto which is actually crazy if you can control recoil, and the traps if you put them on the right places they can get so much value

[@RawDoggin_78]

close your eyes and listen again, it has a umm much different vibe

[@ThatGuyNoodle]

I would love to see someone like this guy use his own tactics against a proffesionally trained SWAT officer or team.

[@skyguy2406]

[@uncoloredredsquare1]

Positioning is honestly the thing that made me better in r6. My skill was very stagnant before learning it.

[@yoshi04cgn]

Facts this is exactly how I play all the time and retake site as a roamer or attacker. Swinging is the best part of the game

[@Zendennix]

One of the best tips I’ve ever heard for R6

[@Dylan-le9zi]

The thing is, people don’t think about them fighting themselves, it’s the same thing when it comes to remembering spawn locations, remember, know, and self evaluate. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of reaction.- A great modular analogy.

[@xbroiscool2232]

Finally, good shit

[@TitusTouch]

The amount of times in 1v1 I've checked 3 angles and then prefired the 4th is a lot.

[@iOiJoestar]

W bro just learned a lesion bro earns a sub🤓👍👍

[@Patches_Gaming]

The person at the window: "Yeah he's dead, fucker was just standing in front of it. Lmao" However it's a breathe of fresh air not hearing, "as a Master Rainbow Six Siege player!"

[@68able2]

also right peek is a priority over left peak btw

[@hypyeasv2667]

i decided to be more agro because of videos like these and i stay passive now because everytime i swing they hip fire headshot me (yes its console)

[@rauldel_5626]

Damn I never thought about that way, nice tips bruh!

[@kenny8646]

Ok but just keep in mind u also turn ur back to the rest of the room and to the window by that so it really depends on the situation ure in

[@gaberyan2181]

Best way to win is to push the fights that the enemy thinks your not dumb enough to push and then to push them gun aimed also don’t forget that

[@ivanandreev1958]

That's actually a great tip, I always see that enemy sees my gun moving on the killcam.

[@keithdavid5206]

always be aggressive in a gun fight, whether aggressively defensive or just plain old aggressive.

[@latinking_kk5908]

In all honesty, I have never watched one vid on tips for this game and I’m just learning as I go tbh😭 I’m pretty decent but idk if I should start watching rip videos to get better

[@oreo3662]

its 5v1 situation and all my 4 teammates died of claymore because they cant fkiin seat there and wait for the last to get in.

[@Zrohh]

I always make sure I’m the swingin

[@Klazik7]

What’s the song called, good tip dude😊

[@Bread-lp4fb]

Allot of ppl don’t do this but when there’s multiple angles and the defender isn’t swinging, before entering clear the other spots if possible and if nobody’s there then just prefire the last possible spot. That’s why you should swing it instead of waiting for him to walk in during that situation

[@wyd_melody]

Perfect. This is exactly what everyone needs. Put simply 🤟💯

[@Cosmic_K13]

[@goods_gamingplays6433]

my positioning is due to my carefull playstyle, i usually go smart and think what he would check first and last, and position myself on the last

..the thing is that they don't enter without having checked half the angles already from outside the door, but this would apply very well for window campers

[@onik6512]

I used to play a few years ago. I was good, but I’d be too anxious to have fun and actually perform to my abilities….. just got the game again yesterday to have something to play for a couple hours here and there, and letting go of my need to win every fight and just pushing every chance I get has absolutely set me apart from when I used to try play competitively. Just relax, take it at your pace, slice every corner, doorway and window

called timing mr know it all, swing to the sound

[@stahliboi6249]

That spot would never work unless it was a 1v1

[@inoizyl7882]

Along the way of my playtime on this game I found myself winning more gunfights when I was swinging so when I was defending instead of just holding common angles I would swing of information the reason I say information is because if I know I'm going to see the enemy I'm anticipating him therfore I'm not relying on my reaction time as much if I get caught by suprise, but didn't know this is why thanks

[@Beans_go_crazy]

Can you make a good spot to go if your defending in garage in house. Like if there’s already a player guarding the garage and one guarding the door and the only way enemies can come in is from the garage or door?

[@Jeff-hp5vr]

Good tip as long as no one is at the window behind you

[@SoldatnaMan]

Idk that freezer is an off angle I feel like if it’s pre post and you know you have bomb info as a defenderI feel like the last place someone is gonna keep swinging is kitchen window
