21 Tips You Should Know for PVP | Insurgency Sandstorm Guide Part 1 | Beginner / Advanced Mechanics 

as a new Insurgency Sandstorm player looking to get better I’ve got to say this is a really underrated and well made video, most of the other vids have just been basic FPS tips (e.g. slice corners, don’t run cuz ads time, be quiet) but this video has so many useful tips I haven’t seen anywhere else so thank you for this 👍

My tip, after only playing two rounds as a new player. Shoot anything that looks like it can be a player. I learned this on the second match after questioning if that was a person or not a few times then being shot by a sniper. Would be easier to shoot and see if it sceams and worms away and not spend mental power as i stare at it moving like huh for the split second to be shot

I have some tips too: 1 - Map: One thing that you can see in map too its what direction your teammates are covering on the objective if you dont have a clear vision of them, so you can cover other spots. 2 - If a teammate is ALT walking in front of you is really probably that he knows that one enemy is close so dont run around him, you are going to get you both killed for dont paying attention. 3 - Flashbang is good but is inconsistent too, the best way to use it its not to blind your enemy but to make him scream and reveals his spot in the room and/or to make him temporaly deaf so you can run inside the objective without him knowing from what entrance you got in, if the objective have multiple ways to enter. 4 - ADSing and leaning make noises, so if you are inside a objective attacking ALT Walking, make sure that you only ADS one time or use your hipfire to kill the enemy inside the objective, and dont lean to much. 5 - Dont try to spot from the door, if the enemy is looking at the door normally your weapon its going to give your position if they are in a corner, so take some backsteps to look inside, dont hug the door. 6 - If you are using a 7.62 Weapon and knows some spots that enemies could be hiding, try to shoot some fires outside of the house in that spot, if you somehow dont kill the enemy they are going to give away their position bc of the pain inflicted. 7 - Only use Wood or Metal objects to hide your presence, dont try to take cover behind it because its really easy to kill someone behind it. 8 - Prioritize Compensator over Recoil Grip, your vertical recoil its easy to counter but the horizontal its much more difficult and you can equip a Aiming or Quickdraw grip in the underbarrel slot. 9 - Create at least 2 camo appearances for the Security faction, 1 for desert and another for urban environment maps, if you have the Snow DLC appearance for both factions then create one to Hillside. 10 - Dont expect people to be the most genius, at least rn, 90% of the time that you'll be killed in a fair 1v1 its because you are going to think that the enemy is one step ahead of you but in reality they are previsible, they dont change spots, if you are being targeted and lose sight of them if you return to the same spot most likely that they are looking in the same place for you, so flank them in "ALT Walking" because they dont expect it at all. Fun tip - You can muffle the sound of ADSing and footsteps of your teammates by loud talking in the radio next to a objective, a bonus if you trash talk with your enemy sometimes they lose the focus if you are talking to them.

"you can just dip." - Just earned a sub for that alone! I still use that slang from time to time!

nice tips. especially the: don't stand that close to the window is something i see many ppl get punished for but seem not to learn why. - that's a general thing: know when to move silent and avoid enemy attention - its easier to shoot the tail rotor of the helicopter or with the mg3 the turbine than the pilots. and if you say at the spawn and not move too much you won't get shot by the heli but you can still shoot it down - the backpack doesn't make your hitbox larger. but yes it makes your visible profile smaller. - if the enemy hides behind cover just shoot a few rounds on that cover. even if you can't kill them they sometimes panic and think they have to reposition themselves so they give up their current cover (works surprisingly often. and on reverse. don't panic if someone tries doing the same thing to you.) - if the enemy has map control maybe take the less obvois route out of the spawn. - if you accidentally bulled the pin of a grenade, you can use the gas mask (if you have one) and the nade will be save again and you don't have to throw it away - and probably the most important thing that doesn't go into ppls heads when taking an obj: THE OBJ DOESNT CLEAR ITSELF. Only camp on that objective if backup is coming. if your team has 0 waves and the obj is blocked you need to clear it. everything else will make you lose anyway.

I used majority of these tips including ones from the comments and my gameplay has actually improved drastically thank you!

Remember, always full auto in the building.

Here some useful tips u missed. 1. While playing a demolitions kit always use the the biggest ammo bag for 3 points, because it doubles ur underbarrel gl shots and missles for launchers 2. Cook the nades before throwing. 3. Try to return enemy nade if it fell right in front of you 4. You can go without ammo bags at all but you will still have 2 smoke shots for underbarrel gl. Moreover you save one point because gl with 2 smokes costs 1 point against 2 smoke nades and paying 1 point for each and 1 point for medium ammo bag. 5. If you are going into extreme cqb in ambush game mode, laser can be viable because u can save some time and start firing without going ads, but it works more effectively with a recoil grip. And as a bonus u can draw attention to you, because enemy will think u are a vip

This quality is insane bro. I really enjoyed this video and felt very well informed afterwards. Not a Tips video for children! This is the way the game is intended to be played. Thanks bro!

My friend and I just played with you, great stuff man, super helpful!

This VIDEO IS SO HELPFUL WENT FROM BEING TILTED EVERYDAY TO JUST WINNING THANK YOU BRO

The sound in this game is better than any game EVER. The prox chat when they are in the next room is perfect ❤ *chefs kiss*

I love how this feels like a documentary

Loadout tips and the meta weapons: Famas, VHS, M4 for rifleman/commander/observer MP7/AS Val for breachers SVD, M110 and MK21 for snipers. Basically if you’re firing 5.56 ammo stick with aiming grip if you’re pushing/attacking and pick loading grip on defense. Breacher kits are the most expensive: extend mags, suppressors and x2 scope for short/mid range. Sniper rifles always stick with bipod + x7 scope + ext mag. With these combinations you should shred as many lobbies as possible, never use armor and stick with light/heavy carriers depending on what you’re gonna do. My main mode is domination but even there I like to use heavy carrier because I have carry potential, so 40% of the time I’m reaching the 6th~7th mag on my mp7/as Val.

BOSK is back! Hell yeah! \o/ Now we just need a Squad update and everything will be right again. ^^'

That ambush with the C4😂

A bad thing about being a commander is when you accidentally call in anything you would have to be spamming the button near the observer and try your best to not lose the observer

Bro this is pure gold!!! Youre the real MVP 🎉 thank you so much 🔥

Just found ur video, i was playing ins1 since it came out, and now i bought sandstorm cuz i love previous game, i just wanna thank you for guide and for nice montage and quality audio etc!

You are going to hell for that IED trap... 10/10 nice guide

This video and all the work put into it is HIGHLY Underrated. Keep up the amazing work

Those tips are top notch, even for more experienced players. Thanks a lot 🎊

Terrific video. I've watched several guides and have not seen many of these. Thanks dude

The quickdraw grip actually speeds up all grenades animations. Try it out with a molotov, you'll see you light it up so much faster. That said, pretty complete guide!

Another great video Bosk - I don’t even play Insurgency and still found it interesting to watch!

Your voice sounds so much like a documentary, the combinations of microphone, speed of talking, etc. Really unique and soothing

A very amazing video with very helpful tips! Keep up the great work!

Actual good tips for more experienced players. Great videos

I just started playing and this is extremely helpful for me. I've always been a ok player at the game and it been a sharp learning curve.

Well done video ! Good project

That was a dope video, hope you make more.

Push security First fire support available : smoke Helis available at 7 minutes You can take em down with a GL, Sniper, Mg, rockets or even a famas, so find your way around it

Stellar work, thank you!

15:36 That floor banging was excellent.

Really cool video ! I just started playing about a week ago on ps4 and I am pretty bad at the moment. I had to turn the aim/turning settings down really low to be able to hit anything. I shall improve though, and it's still fun AF. Thanks for the tips mate !

Great and helpful video man!

That is a damn good video. Thanks!

As a 2 year player I never heard of the information about the eyewear. To be honest I've never pondered on that. Eyeware is definitely coming off when I get on next time. Now it makes me wonder how many firefights I've lost over the years from the enemy seeing a reflecting shine off my Oakleys in the game.

Wow, loved how this was edited!

Great video man. Can see that you put lots of effort into it 👍

Excellent video! I just subscribed

Awesome tips ! I just got the game 3 days ago and im in love with it !

amazing music and great advice!

Great video, music was really cool.

You’re a good dude, just got this game a week ago 1 week ago on Xbox, thinking of switching to pc in the near future

1 year late I know, but another tip is that you can use the map to see where your teammates are dying, so on offense you can avoid an mg meatgrinder, and on defense if you see a bunch of your teammates die in one area you can get a general sense of which direction the next attack is coming from and know roughly where to be looking. Basically, check your map more. Unless the enemies are right around the corner, there is plenty to gain and little to lose from doing so.

Wow great video man👏

Impressive tips, I have being playin for 100+ hours and this tips are really helpful

Great edit bro

Great video, man!

my account is level 110 and i just learned about "missing" a chopper with a missile still buys valuable time. underrated vid.

Great video

Very helpful and unique tips

Awesome tips man! Enjoyed this!

What a great intro. Rly liked it. . Also your voice fits Well To vids.

He's back!!!

15:32 you made my day haha, plus very useful guide man thanks

Did not know the unlocking whole map thing! I will be ambushing!

Added to my favourites. Masterpiece

Just bought the game, very helpful.

Dude just dipped after making one of the best insurgency tip videos ever :'(

A extremely good tips and tricks video with no bum fluff. Well done my friend you should considered doing this in other games as you got a nack for it. A good game also. pitty I play on an old gen console massive disadvantage but keep on coming back to play

Good ass video man! Learned a lot!

Quick resupply by using "M + F1" at the Ammobox is faster than hold "F".

I subscribe bcuz of this video. Much appreciated, the video is so useful. New player here tooooo.

wait please come back this is AMAZING content.

I would say knowing how smokes work is a big one. The smoke particles are rendered client side essentially meaning that every person will have the smokes looking different on their screen. So if you cant see through the smoke on your screen, theres a chance that the enemy can see through anyways because their smoke was rendered differently.

Great dude, played one match with him.

Another tip shooting back usually helps along with reloading, living, and not missing

It's a free weekend rn and my friends and I are planning on buying it

Both this game yester day super hard but give it a chance.. thanks for tips very good tips.

That ending had me rolling

Very good tips

I've got another tip for the smoke grenades. You can cook them so they'll deploy faster when you throw them.

Great guide for the new guys coming in. Another point as stupid as it sounds, get on point. If you're attacking then attack, get aggressive, if anything I've always said insurgency is like a race of how fast you can roll on objectives before enemies have a chance to prepare. Show up where your not expected while the shock is still in play. If you're defending then defend, get on point don't sit outside it. I'm still keeping my orange shades however 😎

Gotta love that shotty horroh outro lol, tips were great too btw

I’d add a few: 1) learn how to pie corners and how to move and shoot when clearing rooms. NEVER repeak an angle where you took fire from…they will drop you 9/10 times.

Just bought some nice aviators for both of my characters - and now I learn I shouldn't use them!

Memories where the invisible ammo boxes are for each map and faction on the last objectives

I use some tip of hiding on dead body doesn't matter they still shoot randomly

Quality content

useful stuff

Tip: When dead, take the time to spectate your teammates in 3rd person, you can spot enemies, scout ahead, see how certain lanes are fairing and seeing where your friendly snipers/marksman are positioned which most likely are gonna be used by the enemy team next round.

nice vid

The biggest no no to do is wear glasses as he says in the video , specialy the red ones , so many free kills when guys put them

The AK is nice with grip but it's very controllable After 150 hurs I have no problem spraying with eaither AK-74, AKM Alpha-AK or AKS-74. Edit UZI and MP5 is nasty with recol grip. It shoots straight like a laser.

🔥

I remember trying to get ppl to do nineteen all the time

Lot of people on console especially don’t know about crouch jumping. Thankfully I played csgo back in the day bc it is so useful

very nice overall video quality, some useful tips! some more of the game audio eg.: gun shots could have been included

I've been able to call in two different supports at the same time, if you have two commanders and two observers. Is that a glitch or is there some sort of trick?

This game is so underrated

7:47 that's crazy

My tip is dont forget about semi auto, especially on g3

If you keep getting killed by someone and can't locate them, after the fact you can check recording to learn their spot. I discovered many glitch spots this way. Then you can tell as many people as possible about said spot so it becomes known and patched. Lasers are a waste and funny. I remember I got shot and someone was waiting for me to peak because I could see their dot waiting for me to run out of cover.

Nato friendly 😂😂😂😂 brooo I love this

A tip from me just about any time you enter an objective they will surely sitting at the corner.

Is there big realistic battles like squad?

10/10 would blow myself up again with C4

Is this insurgancey it looks way diffrerent in my xbox s
