tf2 new player guide (2025 and beyond)

[@scarybroccoli]

QUICK UPDATE (10/24/24): the bot problem has been largely fixed in casual for the last few months. I have encountered a bot here and there, but whatever Valve did and is continuing to do has rendered casual playable (and fun) again. I mention Uncletopia and community servers near the end, which are still viable options, but Casual has returned to its former glory :) Anyways, here is my autoexec.cfg: mat_specular 0 mat_bumpmap 1 sv_allow_point_servercommand always cl_mute_all_comms 0 voice_enable 1 bind "TAB" "+showscores" bind "CTRL" "+reload" fps_max 300 viewmodel_fov 70 bindtoggle "r" "r_drawviewmodel" 0 1 bind "KP_END" "join_class scout" bind "KP_DOWNARROW" "join_class soldier" bind "KP_PGDN" "join_class pyro" bind "KP_LEFTARROW" "join_class demoman" bind "KP_5" "join_class heavyweapons" bind "KP_RIGHTARROW" "join_class engineer" bind "KP_HOME" "join_class medic" bind "KP_UPARROW" "join_class sniper" bind "KP_PGUP" "join_class spy" tf_use_min_viewmodels 1 cl_cmdrate 66 cl_interp 0 cl_interp_ratio 1 cl_lagcompensation 1 cl_pred_optimize 2 cl_smooth 0 cl_smoothtime 0.01 cl_updaterate 66 rate 60000 hud_combattext_batching 1 cl_enable_text_chat 1 cl_ragdoll_fade_time 0 cl_ragdoll_forcefade 1 cl_ragdoll_physics_enable 0 g_ragdoll_fadespeed 0 g_ragdoll_lvfadespeed 0 ragdoll_sleepaftertime 0 cl_phys_props_enable 0 cl_phys_props_max 0 props_break_max_pieces 0 r_propsmaxdist 1 violence_agibs 0 violence_hgibs 0 tf_hud_target_id_alpha 255 tf_hud_target_id_offset 0 cl_crosshair_file "crosshair7"

Would be nice to know what certain codes do because i read this and idk what anything does , any help?

[@zacseymore1611]

I put these settings in a created Cfg, but now I want to reset them to default. I tried pretty much everything I could find online(turning off cloud sync, deleting the files in cfg and common and then typing -autoexec in startup instructions) It only resets a few different settings. But many things stay on, for example I want the bodies to rag doll after death but your setting make the bodies disappear on kill. Do you have any idea how I can undo the changes? Help is much appreciated!

Certain maps like Dustbowl, Turbine, and 2Fort are almost their own gamemodes due to how unique they are to play. I dont consider it bad as much as using trench warfare tactics instead.

[@michaeljonathan9715]

I don't think bad map design make unique gameplay, it's just that they enforce trench warfare (and doesn't have a fun way to counter it) or die to sentry & explosive spam in Dustbowl, playing against snipers with horrendous sightline on Turbine and 12 Sentries with their engineers turtling them in intel room in 2Fort. Other map such as Upward able to counter sentry & explosive spam by flanking & multiple routes, have covers & flank that doesn't take long to take to counter horrendous sightline then kill the sniper in close range and turtling here just get you killed with explosives & bullets from long range or behind cover.

[@DarkcoffeeGodot]

I love the newcomer content. I'd really like to know more about that famous "Quick Fix" you talked about...

[@Syamfprch]

The quick fix is a medigun for the Medic, It heals 40% faster and you build your Ubercharge 10% faster, It also has a unique feature where if your patient (the person you are healing) Rocket jumps as soldier or demo or charges as Demoknight, you will also be propelled at the same speed, However the amount of overheal(extra health) you give to your patient is cut in half from 150% to 125%, This also means it is not affected by the lower healing to patients at above 140% health, You also have your Ubercharge only heal much faster instead of the stock's guaranteed invulnerability. This makes it a better option if you are not pocketing (always healing a singular person) and instead playing to simply heal all your teammates faster Hope you learned something new, or you knew all this all along, goodbye

[@frezzingaces]

Two bonus things that really help with aim if you're new to shooters - enable raw mouse input, disable mouse acceleration. If you don't get good fps, use a fps config.

[@scarybroccoli]

Ah man i forgot to mention mouse acceleration. Thanks for the reminder

[@TeriTF2]

If you’re on windows, you also need to disable “Enhance pointer precision” on your Mouse properties in Control Panel

[@sO_RoNerY]

Don’t talk shit about mouse acceleration. I use it and have improved my aim. There is nothing bad about it. I don’t think any of you understand how it works.

[@ForsakenByGOD]

Umm just saying you can actually get muscle memory for mouse accell it's just longer but technically better kinda so yeah just saying

[@Double_Jae]

To any new players that may read this, THE BOTS ARE GONE! Causal is by far the best way to play the game, and I highly recommend not playing uncletopia as a new player as it won’t be a good time.

[@420Benzo]

Played my first round today got clapped to oblivion but was still fun

[@forgottensoul6678]

The only thing I feel like you neglected to mention is that Spy also can pick up ammo packs to refill cloak. I went many years in TF2 without realizing you could pick up ammo boxes while invisible with the stock watch. I understand that Spy is hard for absolute beginners but a quick mention would've been nice.

[@MVCuber]

Excuse me, MANY YEARS?????

[@rogerfalkevicz4596]

I am not a begginer, but i never played with spy seriously, so i play 3 minutes with him, i rage, and choose other class 😂

[@fishyrobo8896]

lmao i was just watching your video, then realised in the demoman scetion (9:50) you killed me. I was just shocked to find myself in ur video

[@kulvib4601]

Some supplementary pointers for new players - To air blast as Pyro hit right click - To spin up at Heavy, hold down left click which will spin up and then fire or hold right click which will spin up and not fire. Alternate between left and right click to stay spun up in between shooting - Critical hits that take many forms such as through the Engineer's Frontier Justice shotgun do triple the base damage of a weapon - Weapons have a chance to randomly do critical damage. The exceptions to this are Sniper's rifle, Spy's knives and any weapons marked as not doing crits. - When fully charged, right click as medic to user an ubercharge - To go invisible as spy, right click with any weapon equipped. Do the same to become visible again. You cannot attack while invisible. When using right click, you make an audible sound that the other team can hear especially if you're right behind them when you do it.

[@zepos]

Why do you alternate between right and left click tho? I feel like just holding down would be much more easier?

[@tasty8186]

@@zepos If you're waiting around a corner for an enemy you know is going to come around, you wouldn't want to advertise that there's a Heavy spun up and ready to shoot, would you?

[@zepos]

@@tasty8186 I thought he meant like alternate as in if you're shooting then stop for whatever reason like maybe looking back real quick. Instead of just leaving right click held down and left click released, he alternates by releasing left click and pressing right click at the same time then once he wants to shoot again release right click and hold left click again. My question originally was why release right click.

[@-AAA-147]

Good video, although I have a few major criticisms. For one, talking about unlocks in each of the class sections could be very confusing for new players as they won't have access to some of those unlocks for a good amount of time. Teaching them how the stock weapons play would be much more helpful and give them a better understanding of how the unlocks differ. For instance, the role the shotgun plays on the 4 classes that start out with it: soldier can use it for close range engagements so he won't damage himself with rockets, pyro can use it to finish off enemies outside of his flamethrower's range, heavy can have it out while repositioning to fight enemies that may surprise him (i.e. scout), and engie uses it as his main source of self defense. You could've also mentioned how stock melee is the same for most classes and how scout, engie, and spy's differ. That information is much more useful to a newbie than knowing about wrangler jumping or the bonk atomic punch. Secondly, teaching people how to use the community server browser would've been nice since--as the video mentions--casual is more often than not infested with bots. Uncletopia could be a bit too competitive-leaning for a newbie and some more laid-back servers would be better a introduction. Lastly, positioning and class roles should've been brought up more. What a flank is, what a sniper sightline is, what a choke is, and how certain classes might prefer some of these locations (scout, pyro, and spy like to use flanks, demo and soldier like chokes, etc.). Overall good guide though. The settings section in particular is a boon for how antiquated TF2's base settings are (although stuff like custom huds and .cfg file changes might be a bit much to frontload the video with, that's more befitting of the misc section).

[@magoleo-pr7if]

By the way, i know this comment is three months old, but could you reccomend me some good community servers? Only one i know is uncletopia

[@hshgf3410]

I dunno if youtube's search engine is just scuffed (it is) or at the time no one was making succinct and up to date guides for tf2, but when i started out in 2019 this video would have been invaluable. All i found was sorely outdated videos or guides that were tiny in scope, like a single weapon guide. As someone who joined the party late and who knew practically nothing about tf2, all i can say is that it is extremely overwhelming when youre starting out. If it wasnt for playing along side my brother and having him basically coach me as we played, i would have 100% never stuck with tf2.

Quick tip for all new players, the hitboxes of this game are also lying to you, so if your shots keep going through the enemy try to aim a bit behind the enemy's model.

@@blightedcat66 no, there actually are some holes in the hitboxes. They’re small holes, but they’re there. I saw this in a video, but I can’t remember the name of the channel. However, you have to be pretty unlucky to weave a shot through them.

[@Namajaff]

You've basically made the definitive video for new tf2 players! the one and only thing missing are random crits, since they can be vary confusing for new players. when i began playing tf2 in 2020 i was super confused as to why do i sometimes just die for no reason, or why did i deal an insane amount of damage?

[@Brandon-1996]

There's a few things I think you should've noted. Heavy isn't mechanically challenging, but his positioning is crucial because he's a massive, slow target. He's especially vulnerable to snipers and spies. (And his sandwich restores most of his health, not all of it.) Possibly the most important thing with spy is learning how to move and act like the characters you're disguised as. Positioning and timing are also crucial, because he can die very easily.

[@RobPento]

As a Medic main, only use the crossbow with a group of fri nds or comp. In Casual, your team likely will not protect you, in which case the Blutslagger is a must. Ubersaw, Solemn Vow, etc is personal choice.

[@JanVP1]

Good job there, mate! (5k hours on TF2 in 12 years) While Uncletopia indeed seems to keep off the bots, human cheaters have appeared (recently? some time ago?).

I am someone who played tf2 when it was on the Xbox, but haven’t played since. I will find this video incredibly helpful when getting back into it as a functional beginner! I look forward to watching your other videos regardless of if they are geared towards experienced or newer players, however I think I can say that me as well as other newer or returning players would be delighted if you decided to create another one like this.

[@FishInPan]

What the peak? Thanks so much! I joined 3 years ago but i barely played so these are also helpful for me, i will play more this year

[@Lawlz4Dayzz]

2 BIG TIPS for new players is #1 Try and set a general order of preference for each class to focus on one or a few to get the most out of. #2 Dont rapidly switch classes in game or, of you are serioue, dont switch loadouts in a round because you dont give yourself the time to learn and test the loadout and class.

[@Syamfprch]

The second one is not needed and quite worsens your performance as spy, as constantly changing loadouts and class causes the enemy to be confused as they cant exactly predict what they can do against you in the future when you attack them again, they don't know if you're A kunai dr spy, a stock spy, A YER spy or even playing spy at all.

[@artifactU]

no thats stupid advice, if someone wants to play differant classes why shouldnt they

[@cloudynguyen6527]

I feel like general new players will always stick to their default stock loadout until they get their next random drops. The point of random drop item is supposed to let players test new free item until they switch back or stick to it. It's still a flaw system but it is still helpful to new players. About the class switching. I feel like players will always have their preference so they might switch classes that they are comfortable to play as.

[@Loner098]

Don't they also need to pay $5.00 USD in the Mann Co. Store to gain access to send both messages in chat and voice chat (including voice commands)?

There is a toggle in the settings that “Force killbinds” you when you switch class when you’re not in spawn. 6:23

[@just-linx8271]

Guides for newcomers are greatly appreciated. Especially as Team Fortress 2 seems to be becoming a good touring location for FPS players these days. I actually used to play overwatch, stopped like... 4 and a half years ago, maybe? And swapped to TF2, and the thing that made it so much easier to settle in to the community was patience and dropping my (already malnourished) ego. Compare this to some of people that tried getting into it and kept letting their own anger and pride get in the way. You will die, but you will find that it is rarely solely because of bullsh*t (YT keeps nuking my comments, sorry), but rather a fault on your part that led to the situation you got yourself in. The game is very movement based, but it all stems from your personal ability, not just clicking shift or holding down the space bar, so if you got yourself into a position, you always have the means to get out. Lastly, there are loose cannons, morons, jerks, and genuine a*s-holes all over, and spamming report or crying in chat because your feelings are hurt *will not* help you. Press escape to pull up the menu, and there is a mute button located at the bottom. It mutes chat too. You can also call a vote kick, but I find that unless they're sabotaging your team ingame (not just screwing around, but actively sabotaging) it's best to just leave them be. Enough people will eventually mute them, and they'll have to live with themselves in isolation. It may be too pacifist for your liking, but these people are out here to get reactions, not start some harmful uprising. You and I both know they couldn't get out of their chair if they tried. Anyways, for anyone reading this who is new, feel free to ask questions, and do enjoy yourselves.

[@KrakenZSV]

Good video, but imo if this is meant to be geared for first timers the video includes way too much information that isnt all completely necessary for starting and way too quickly. Kind of seems like you're trying to hammer in everything you know as fast as you can for everything you're trying to cover which is not a good way for new players to digest whats going on. This video would be fine if players already have a decent understanding of the game, but in my opinion not for the starters as you casually mention a ton of things with the assumption that new players know all the unlocks, maps, and modes as well as a decent underatanding of source engine related things like console which end up being very hard to follow for someone trying to learn just the basics. I'd personally just keep it as a very simple and easy to digest what each class does with their stock weapons and ignore talking about unlocks all together, as for a conpletely new player the introduction of what 9 classes have to offer is already a dubious task, my advice for new players would be to just try all the classes and stick to one you find comfortable to learn the game with. Along with the information overload most of the game modes if not self explanitory can be figured out with a few games, let alone going into detail about specific maps; let newer folks breathe a bit

Reaching 4000 hrs here. I've only recently realized that, at least personally, auto call for healing can get fairly overwhelming. Even more so at high damage values.

Now that I have auto callout off, players that don't need healing won't be screaming at me every two seconds and I can focus heal more effectively.

turning auto rezoom on is alright and is faster than manual scoping! you can cancel the rezoom function by jumping/switching (i prefer jumping) :D

[@abobus9078]

I'd say it's a disadvantage when fighting other snipers, plus instantly zooming again after a shot might give tunnel vision to new players, which is something you definitely don't want in TF2

[@StrandedPond]

i totally agree that tunnel vision is quite bad esp for new players, but you don't have to use the auto scope function always! I generally use it if there is a horde of people and to bait out a shot/scope in of an enemy sniper :D

[@abobus9078]

@@StrandedPond how? Do you turn it on in advanced settings every time there is a horde or am I misunderstanding something?

[@StrandedPond]

it stays on the whole time. I utilize a jump crouch in place(or swap weapons) when i know it is safe to. this mechanic cancels out the rezoom allowing you to manually do it! usually, when there are two enemy snipers, after killing one of them, i allow the rezoom function to continue and unscope immediately myself. this baits out a zoom for the other sniper thus leading to an easier target! hope this helps you! :D

I have over 1000 hours on tf2, and I still sometimes feel like noobie (in terms of aim and skill lol). Anyways really good video, there should be more of tf2 beginner friendly tutorials/vids for new players

You didn't even talk about taunts.

I played a lot of tf2 as a kid in the early 2010s and there's a lot I just didn't know! ❤

I have 2 hours on tf2 and i found this video very helpful

[@kuzofrog4378]

Wow I didn't know the scout character could double jump. I played the training mode but it only has 4 characters. This is a very difficult game to get into and the tutorial does not do help much lol.

Broooo where were you when I started playing tf2 T^T Also, really good video, I learned a lot of new things while watching this video.
