How to Beat Checkpoint | 5 MINUTES IN SANDSTORM

checkpoint is remind me of your usual casual airsoft

[@mayhem9052]

[@kuailiang2445]

“Literally do it yourself” straight up the mentality I’ve had to use in almost every match of checkpoint I played. Minus the full parties I’ve been part of. That’s why I usually run breacher, advisor, and if I have no choice, commander.

[@kirbyis4ever]

I'll gladly take commander any day of the week... as long as I have an observer to match. If not, I'll be the observer. Nothing feels better than hearing the help get 20 kills on the last point and knowing you got everyone there with well placed artillery.

Additional Tip: *BRING AN INCENDIARY GRENADE* Need to shut away a spot the bots are using to get to you? *INCENDIARY* Need to blow up the cache without risking getting shot and someone's already taken demoman? *INCENDIARY* While bots do occasionally drop incendiary nades or molotovs, it's better and safer to already have one on you rather than trying to find one. ESPECIALLY if you're the last one alive. Also some maps have the cache placed in such a way that you can completely avoid having to clear the immediate area around the cache with a good flame grenade throw and/or bounce.

[@coolersnoipah173]

good advice but don't trust the incendiary nade too much when it comes to bots I've heard cases where the mfs just straight up walk through the fire like they don't even care

[@WakeUpToReality...]

@@coolersnoipah173 it depends on where the center of the fire is. They'll never run through the center of the Incendiary. Its kind of the trade off you get for not choosing to use a molotov. *Incendiary:* +Doesn't explode on impact so it can bounce off doors into rooms without having to actually peak it. Good for Cache destruction & burnining out small rooms. +/- You can pull the pin early just before you throw to pretty much make a fireball that burns on impact like a molotov but if you're not fast enough you'll mess up the timing & burn yourself alive. +Can be thrown over & under handed - Mediocre area denial tool compared to Molotov with shorter active time & is only able to deny about a small room or doorway worth of space. *Molotov:* + Great area denial tool that spreads fast over a large area & lasts long. Able to cover garage door sized areas & large open spaces +/- Explodes on impact so it's not as versatile as the Incendiary, but can be used faster without the as much risk of burning yourself alive in order to get the same effect like the Incendiary has to

[@cas9564]

@@WakeUpToReality... not to mention that *thankfully* molotovs don't insta-kill on impact. Kinda sucks for us in terms of it's lethality but a godsent considering the bots have 1000 IQ when throwing the damn things.

[@KommieKaze]

things I learned by playing this mode 1: if a specialist is available, take it. Don’t always be a rifleman 2: Play to the team. If there is a commander and no observer, giving yourself a harder time. be the bigger man instead of playing advisor so you can get the “cool” guns 3: Use Demo-man Because If you’re good with explosives you have easy multi kills when the enemy comes to counter attack you. 4: Know your pace You can put on Breacher and go full send Rush on B but know that you may be gunned down in seconds or you can be that sniper that lags behind until the rest of the team is dead and you need to cap. Stick with the bodies that can and will take bullets for you so you don’t have too. In most important (I literally should’ve put this at the top but i’m very lazy to rewrite this shit) 5: check your damn corners Stay alive for longer and be useful, even if being useful is being a temporary bullet sponge for better players who can clutch a capzone

[@S1deshowRob]

Step 1: get one tapped by a makarov or hi power Step 2: watch your last surviving teammates C9 and walk off the point when there’s five enemies upstairs Step 3: Lose Step 4: Repeat

Bro I fucking hate that shit. My favorite though is when I’m playing demolitions and I plant C4 on a cache so I’m not sitting there playing with myself for 15 seconds activating an ied but after I plant it, you still have some dipshit sitting there trying to plant the ied while in chat I’m saying “I have c4 on planted on there get back” like 3 times before I just go “fuck it” *clack clack* just to have them get all pissed off when they inevitably get blown into orbit. When you have competent teammates who communicate it’s some of the best fun you’ll have. When you don’t, it’s like getting teeth pulled with no anesthesia

[@basvanheumen4231]

Pro tip about the technical truck: - When the truck pulls up near the objective, artillery, gunner and sniper should prioritise destroying it. Bots will keep trying to use that MG, their rounds can penetrate through most buildings and cause heavy supression. - If you take control of the truck you can use it against the bots. The bots are quite retarded most of the time when walking around, so you can just spray them down, even through buildings. Be careful of teammates though. - When using the technical truck, keep moving. Just like your team, bots too can use RPGs to shoot the truck. - When you exit the truck to capture an objective, stay sharp. Many times I've had bots recapturing the truck, using the machinegun on the back against the players. Leaving the truck around for too long, either close or far away from the objective, bots can and will use it against you. - The windows can protect against bullets, depending on the caliber. Most calibers will take a few shots to penetrate the window, the .50 cal snipers and MGs can do it faster. - The machine gun has a bit of protection around the gun. A metal plate that withstands most calibers. Point that at the enemy, don't be caught with your back at them (the backside is fully exposed). If I remember correctly, a .50 cal sniper can penetrate that protection too. - The truck is very vulnerable from the front, aka the grill. 2 .50 cal shots from a sniper or few rounds from a heavy machinegun can destroy the truck.

I think the term that gets thrown around in game is that it's "idiot savant AI". A full team of AI will helplessly shoot your direction with no effect only for later on in the match you get domed in one shot after an inhuman reaction time like they are CSGO sweats.

[@pain6874]

Bro running commander with your bro as observer is literally the spice of success

[@DivingHawker]

About 1.2k hours of pretty much only Coop and you're ON POINT about team mates. Also, real chads don't blow up technicals, they wait for them to get close to easy clap the driver that gets out and then steal the technical for easy mowing down of the bots.

[@---uk1xt]

I actually enjoy checkpoint when ppl are communicating and working together, even though that rarely happens

[@sgtredrhino2009]

The problem is this: U have to kill atleast 10 enemies before u even can think about taking the objective. And u need to take atleast 5 objectives to win a match. so, BEST case scenario if u don't have to defend until the last objective you'd still have to kill 50 people. Not including however many u have to at the end. Do you know how many people they have to kill in their best case scenerio? 8... they make it that way so u get mad and start playing online because they get money from it. that's the problem. It's a carnival game they force u to play by making it seem like you get 4 different game modes by dividing the difficulty and teams into only 2. I'm honestly really disappointed when I got this game. I figured they'd have ATLEAST something more than checkpoint with the option to only play it 4 different ways. "Pay for online cheapskate!" In a time of recession its hard to enjoy anything free anymore. Playing video games used to be free. It was like that because it wasn't that huge. Every child stopped going outside and picked up a controller and the rich man took notice. NOW unless you opt out they will automatically charge your card every 90 days whenever u pay for online once. When you ask for a refund they will tell u they don't refund ps+ and that it's legal to put "auto-renew" on your system for your online purchases. I'm starting to think about never playing games again. They just don't make offline games like they used to anymore and although the graphics are better u cant do as much unless u pay... its gotten so bad that offline modes on most games are set up to lure u online and this is a classic example of that.

[@marksmanmax1158]

A few more gamer tips: 1) Lean around corners as much as possible. Apart from staying beyond 80-ish meters, this is the only way to somewhat reliably guarantee that a bot doesn't clap you with an insane noscope. 2) Flashbangs are incredible. Try timing the detonation so that it detonates in midair to prevent random ground obstacles from breaking line-of-sight from the grenade to any bots in the room. 3) Frags are like worse flashbangs, but come with the added bonus of potentially killing fuckers outright. Useful to flush bots out of rooms. Bots can't kill you if they never see you (usually). 4) Similar to 2 and 3, bots always drop a grenade (provided they didn't throw it). Pick these up and use them, especially on Hardcore Checkpoint. 5) Bots only retreat to the next objective if there was a counterattack. If there was no counterattack or if the objective was a supply cache, bots WILL NOT FALL BACK, so be careful. However, I've had some strange cases where bots continued to push and even camp the objective that we just secured AFTER a counterattack. 6) Don't play night maps on Hardcore Checkpoint unless you hate your life. 7) The .50 LMG can overheat. Taking short (and I mean like one-second short) firing breaks should prevent this from happening. 8) If several players rig an enemy cache, they will all get objective credit when it detonates. The entire lobby can rig the cache and get objective credit so long as everyone is alive. 9) Suicide bombers are NOT limited to counterattacks. In fact, objectives may even have specific camping spots for bombers. 10) Helicopters can also be shot down with .50 cal AMR shots to either rotor, and is arguably easier to pull off than using a rocket launcher. I've also taken down a helicopter that was just entering the field by killing the pilot with a deployed M240B from long range.

[@meeturself]

Flashbangs are good, but I far prefer using frags. Most checkpoint teammates have a single brain cell to share and will, without fail, push forward into your flashbang and get mad for team flashing.

[@teab0y]

very nice video! omg S tier! love the WTF BOOM meme ^~^ the moment at the end feels truly like DOOM.

[@hughmungus1509]

The amount of absolute bumblefucks who’ll see a gunner doing work and mowing enemies down from afar and position RIGHT NEXT TO THEM trying to steal kills instead of capping the objective is astounding

[@travismaxey8921]

“Oh hey the gunner is laying down suppressing fire on the enemies approaching, let me run in front of him and get mowed down so I can get mad at him.” Or “oh hey, I see my teammates is planting the explosive on the objective, lemme either a. Just run around and not cover them at all so they get killed or b. Yeet a Molotov at them and kill them so I can get the points for destroying the objective.”

[@happymisterbad]

Sniper bots are cancer in this mode. The Objective can be cleared but as soon you spawn, a random Sniper bot will machine gun you immediately. Making you wait for your "Teammates" to get the next Objective.

[@skldfjgnksdrfngisdfngiksdn]

I've come to the conclusion that nobody cares about team killing when someone is near a cache, so just blow it up regardless of whether or not it's going to kill a teammate. They'll respawn immediately anyways. Also, don't start planting a bomb on a cache unless you're the last one alive because someone probably remembered to bring an incendiary, even if you didn't. You're more useful if you have a gun in your hands than a bomb.
