Another tip I have for newer player is wearing the appropriate clothing and staying hydrated. I seen people wearing sweaters and hoodies in a 100 degree weather while not drinking enough water.
What should I wear instead of a hoodie for upper body protective? I just started and fell in love with it today and it did get quite toasty but I don’t want bruises like the ones I got on my legs even though it doesn’t hurt
My 4th or 5th game, I wore a full woodland BDU, plate carrier, PASGT helmet, and no hydration..... In Maryland June. I swear I almost had a heart stroke.
My biggest advice for new players is one i see vets forgetting a lot, especially out by me.... BRING LOTS OF WATER. Seriously people 90 degrees in summer you NEED to hydrate.
One other piece of advice is don’t be afraid of the bbs. I tried to keep this in mind as much as possible while playing (which eventually lead me to adopt a Speedsoft style of play), and even if you don’t want to be Speedsoft, i’ve seen many players at my field turtle in the back of the map. I feel bad because I know this ruins the experience. I was a little scared my first time, and after all the games were over, I was always regretful that I wasn’t more aggressive because there were so many cool opportunities that I could’ve had if I was more aggressive. Even milsimers who are very aggressive are EXTREMELY successful. So remember that aggressiveness leads to success in Airsoft.
I know it's late but sometimes the turtling is also caused by awful and boring respawn rules. Where I play it's either being medic'd or a 5 minute bleedout (that's a good system) but then they introduced a front line rule where people hit within 100m of a friendly or like 20m of an enemy has to stand there until either no one is around or they get revived which means no one actually wants to move forward because you get hit and then no one comes to get you and your stood there for half an hour for no reason. I also play at a cab site which is an old college building and no one is aggressive because you will get hit (tight linear corridors and whatnot) but after being hit instead of the normal CQB 100ft respawn deal you have to walk (in about half of the games) down 3 flights of stairs and a totall of 450m to get back to where you died which takes like 2 minutes and is extremely tiring given the stairs and long distance so you get stalemates where no one pushes because even if it is a successful push at least 5 people are gonna face a stupidly long and exhausting walk for no reason. That's what I tend to find causes it quite often.
Don't be afraid to get shot, it doesnt hurt that bad and sometimes when the adrenaline is pumping you cant even feel i, dont go and just sit in spawn not playing you wont enjoy it and itll just be a waste of your time and money
You probably dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can stream all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend these days =)
One more: If you see a player in old/historical gear, pleeeese don't try to give them advice. Because old gear is most likely more expensive than your mil-tec crossdraw. You will just look stupid and cringy.
If they’re wearing historical gear, they’re not here for the performance. I’d much rather be in a Fallschirmjäger uniform than yet another multicam M4/M1911TAC loadout.
From experience, one bit of advice i can give is when getting your first gun, aim to get something a bit shorter and lighter and work your way up if you want. Starting with something long and/or heavy will cause issues and may make you hate your gun. Take it from someone who started with an LMG. over 5 Kg and 900 mm of fun mixed in with physical pain and frustration (its a love/hate relationship). Something like the ARP9 or the Firehawk would have been better to start with because they are short enough to do CQB and light enough to duel wield.
As a fellow experienced player of 5 years in December, you pretty much nailed everything in this video. only small, but important things I have to add is bringing food and water to stay nourished and hydrated, and to bring extra money for whatever you might need at the field. You never know when you'll need them extra $$
Dont be afraid to be unique? I’d say make sure you know everything that comes with buying something unique. Less parts, less customizability, not as cheap, mechanically some aren’t that good, etc.
Ok one thing I will add a dye mask is still 140$ so i do not recommend buying it for your first mask And research is honestly great. I do soooo much research before I buy even the smallest parts. And a recommendation from someone who owns the guns and bought it with there own money is always great.
TheGuardianWolf Echo I would almost disagree the first thing item of eyepro that i bought was a dye i4. And I haven’t regretted it. I’ve upgraded almost every part of my gun/kit but never needed to upgrade my kit. Especially if you’re younger. I’m 15 now and I started playing 1 year ago, I needed a mask almost everywhere I went, and still do. Of course it is very expensive as you’ve pointed out.
for CQB, a V force profiler, V force Grill, or Virtue VIO Ascend will be fine for a cheaper price. For outdoor, the i4 is almost a must (in terms of full face pro) for that dual-pane lens and cheek weld
I will never forget when a friend that had no idea about the basic rules had to play in the enemy team . I have a sniper and he had an ar so I would just ambush him I thought aaaand no. He somehow got behind me and I hear him last moments (he was like 3 meters away) I turned around and I got full autoed in the neck and face . I didn't had something to protect my neck and I can say that over 10 bbs got stuck in my skin.
Tip: Communication is key. Airsoft tends to be a team oriented game and I see this a lot where a team creates and holds a line but due to lack of communication it turns into that team turtling. Communicate with your teammates (spotting enemies, objective updates and team movements) rather than just trying to solo run everything. It will greatly increase your odds of success and in my opinion increase the enjoyment of airsoft. I'm not saying you need to be those guys who bring comms and radios to every match but talk with those around you to assess situations and plan your next move.
I would highly recommend a dye i4. Admittedly it’s a expensive, BUT it is the only part of my gear that I haven’t upgraded. It has never failed me, never fogged, and never inhibits my ability to have a great day of Airsoft. In addition if you’re under 16 it’s also a great choice because almost every field that I have played at or researched requires full face pro for someone under 16. I have played with a cheaper mask before and it was miserable and completely inhibited my ability to enjoy myself. Hope this recommendation helps!
I got a paintball mask from goodwill for 4$ that works great, i later bought an m83 helmet with face shield for 40$ but my buddy uses it most of the time.
tip: dont be scared of the bbs, move watch, bb warrior and deemo or NOVRITCH for milsimers, spend money on googles dyei5 or I4 or another non fogable mask, spend on triggers like air tube and pistons (after experiance), drink monster or rock star wear a cap/beanie, wear nice tennishoes for speedsoft or indoor boots for milsim (my opinion) dont spend cHEAP ON MASK, wear dye armpads or dye kneepads. buy EMP mags, GET A FRIKEN TRACER IN INDOORS, call YOUR HITS. AND THATS IT FOR MY 4 PAGE ESSAY.
I can’t recommend more to learn how to shoot your rifle with both hands it will just improve your agility and ability to clear rooms and corners that are on the opposite side of your dominant shoulder
Could you do a range test difference with let’s say 0.28gram bb for regular AEG and then only flat hop the barrel? (For example a purple prometheus bucking and a firefly namazu nub, maybe with a orga barrel that is made for flat hops)
Good video, Just wanna add. Been playing snipers and semi DMR and CQB as my main kits. Im 100% with you. Sniper is not a beginner gun. It looks cool and some players are really good at it. But its not a fun first setup. You need to have a special playstyle and its not always as fun as you think. First gun you should focus on reliability and accuracy. If you wanna go with inexpensive gear, focus your money on the rifle and get some really inexpensive vest with pouches for the mags. Its more fun to play with a $400 rifle and a 50$ setup then a $200 rifle and a $250 setup. Even getting a rifle with no vest and a highcap is better, just make sure hi-cap is allowed at your field.
Good advice to new players regarding sniper rifles. It takes a different approach/game style that takes some time to develop. Consider borrowing one from a friend and play with it for a bit before committing to the investment.
This channel is so underrated. I’ve seen so many videos so far and this guy has no hype. I hope I can get as good as him on RU-vid though because I have like 0 subscribers and I try my best to make RU-vid videos.
My first airsoft gun will be a M16a1 because I’m going to play a Milsim game but I don’t like CQB and I only use OneTigris mask and I’m making a Vietnam Era gear.
Hey bb warrior I was wondering is the elite force glock 17 a good starter airsoft pistol, I was going to get the eliteforce 1911 tac gen 3 but then I saw elite force had a glock to. What do you think?
It's somewhat hard to say; both have some advantages over the other. I own the G19, and I do like it; you can use other brand magazines (I like WE tech mags personally) which is a plus. The 1911 TAC is about $50 cheaper though, and with that money you could get 2 more mags and CO2 for the same price as the EF Glocks. The downside though, is that the 1911 tac has a capacity of 14 BBs I believe. With the Glocks, some of the price comes soley from having the Glock name on it, especially with the $40+ magazines. The two pistols have pretty similar performance though and CO2 is nice in the winter
Also helpful MAKE FRIENDS. don’t just stay in your circle and not talk to anyone or stay with your current friends. Don’t be afraid to talk and make new friends.
Always start with an aeg. Pistols are gas guns and if its a gbb, mags are expensive. Some revolvers need shell casings but not all of then like the h8r but you only have 10 shots while everyone else has 30-600 per mag. If you count drums, 1000+. Snipers are aost never good out of the box. Its also a playstyle thevrequires a lot of experience and all the sniper videos are edited all to hell with $350-$1000 guns that have been extremely upgraded. Hpa is $500 plus a $150 hpa rig. For gear, you just need somthing that gives you instant acess to your mags and some boots so you dont roll your ankle. The real thing you need to worry about is eye protection. Make sure it wont fog.
Just buy a gun and face protection. The hi cap should be plenty of ammo for a game. Especially if you cant use full auto. As for carrying extra stuff, just use your old backpack from school if you still have it or buy a cheap one. I carry extra bb's extra batteries, tools, and a first aid kit. Sometimes your gun may go down and you have ti remedy the issue which os why i have tools. I only do basic field strips but of its the gearbox then your gane turns into a trip back home or to your nearest tech. Also id you start running hpa, youb dont want you need a backpack for the air tank. Its an option if your gas gun only runs on green gas.
I recommend getting a nice helmet setup with goggles that have a fan. Comfortable head protection and no fog is the best thing you can do for yourself. I personally run a Team Wendy Exfil and Smith Optic OTWs. These are both very expensive but its more than worth it.
Yeah the ssg 24 is in my opinion the best airsoft sniper is the best in the world and I would recommend for intermediate to pro players but I’m new and I run a g&g cg16 phantom aeg and runs like a queen and I am playing well at mid and close range
My advice: For your first gun it’s best not to buy a WW2 gun, even though they are very cool. Don’t make the mistake I made. They’re much more difficult to source replacement parts and upgrades for, and mags are quite pricey.
The BB Warrior at thunder ridge ski resort that have airsoft every Sunday. (9-4.30) If u ever see a guy running a OD lvoa with a bipod and angled grip that might be me.
Buy an asg mcmillan m40a3 they are amazing cheap accurate with minimal upgrades eg hop up bucking spring barrel it takes time to get used to I agree but when you get it it's unreal
I concur, don't buy a sniper rifle as your first, they require a lot more skill to build and use. I didn't get a sniper rifle for 7 years, and as a result I did better than I would have done otherwise.
Can you talk a bit about whether it's possible to upgrade range without exceeding a joule/FPS limit? I would like to SOME DAY graduate to sniping, but I can't stand bolt action rifles, so I'd want a semi auto sniper rifle. In my country however, those aren't counted as anything seperate from a standard rifle, so I will have to work with limits JUUUST under 500 FPS., or 410ish if I want a sniper rifle that can go full auto aswell, like a VSS or something..
If you visit my channel I posted a video a month or two ago about how to do this! In short, you'll want a good hop up and barrel combined with heavy BBs. I use an MR hop with .40s in my AEGs and have seen a significant increase in my range compared to my original hop up.
get a dye mask. best mask I have ever worn. If you get a dye face mask you won't be disappointed. edit: also get knee-pads because you can take a knee and get a lower angle
Camo is over rated. If someone is just wearing woodland camo in the wood. Ure gonna see th just as much as someone in a green t shirt. U need a full gillie suit to really camoflage enough to make players dont see u.
