My friend and i will have one of us be took and one of us be doc and go to a far away place and boost each other with docs string when we head to sight
3-Platnum I play what I call the Spider of the team. Semi-roaming near objective as Kapkan or Frost with my traps in odd locations. Try placing Kapkan bombs around a corner that an attacker would hide behind when fired upon. Try placing welcome mats around a blind corner that someone normally wouldn't go towards and place barbed wire in a hall so they go to that corner to think about their next move. Barbed wire is a great way to get attackers to pause for a moment and hide to think. Also place welcome mats on the other side of a counter or low wall with wire at the only way around said object. Attackers would rather jump over than walk through the wire
I agree with having anchors covering hatches. Rook can put his gadget down right away, and the other anchs are going to be on site for their active gadgets. One added bonus of having your anchor cover hatches is that if Jackal scans your prints, all that will tell him is there's an anchor on site. Well, no sh*t, Sherlock :)
Sovreign071 all my team does whenever a roamer gets scanned, is the other roamer goes to the roamer that got scanned and they both leapfrog around the map around the outside of the objective trying to ambush any attackers that come for the scanned teammate.
Logan Buzas that means you are not playing the game as often as you should to remember the maps. Except for fortress that map is so big you need to study it to remember every room GOD I HATE THAT MAP.
Caveira is mid tier? She is literally made to roam, she was created for that reason alone. Jager and Bandit are fast and have good guns, but their gadgets are for the site and camping. Caveira has a special that makes it so she can’t be heard and goes way faster, literally a roaming move. Her pistol and interrogation also make it so she can easily flank because she can see them... Cav is the main roamer judging by facts.
You have a point. but they can use their utility all at once meaning that the value lost if they die from roaming is less than if say a doc or Mira died.
Yasuo, The Unforgiven jager and bandit and ela have better weapons. Jager’s ads can block grenades as soon as he places it down. Bandits shock wires can prevent breaches. Ela’s grzmots also can slow down rushers. Cavis only more useful if and only if she gets an interrogation (I also can’t deny the fact one interrogation can change the course of a round) , but in high ranks players more often than not can counter her. Not to mention the fact that she is very vulnerable in those few seconds. You c an shoot her through a soft wall (and I usually do) you can drone or just bait her (risky). Also if she has to go back to the site she has a mediocre weapon selection. All of the other 3 have exceptional weapons and help the team more
My opinion: Cav is the best roamer, I think this cuz she is 3 speed and while flanking silence is key, and sometimes catching a lone enemy offgaurd can be an easy interragation
But in higher ranks they know how to roam clear properly and cav had meh guns. Other roamers such as Vigil can make it harder to roam clear and sometimes make them face check him.
Zac christensen On PC if you hold the control key while moving you walk slowly or crouch walk slowly. Because on console you can just move the stick less to walk slow but in PC there's only one speed so the control key is how you can change your walk speed.
I would like to see something about map knowledge on an example since it is importen from roaming and flanking to breaching and trapping and important to attack and defens
You need to know the building structure, using explosives to create shortcut and making kill holes in a long or big hallway here's example in the map Border on 2nd fl in CCTV room you can cover the entire hallway of armory and hallway to the generator then you can make an escape route by tearing down barricade next to wooden walls from CCTV to armory (or use nades to blow the walls instead) etc. Practice the angle stuff by creating custom game using Sledge with shotgun. Doing this alone is pretty much time consuming. Not sure if this is what you are looking for... ,but I tried
ENDonPC honestly the only way to get map knowledge is to play that game for a good amount of hours. I found it very hard to learn the maps on siege and it took around 150 hours to know my way around each map. Then on top of that I have watched a fair amount of general siege vids which include a few spots, valk cams, flanking routes etc which can give you the edge but will take some time learning from vids. Back to the point learning from experience is the best way and playing over and over again you will discover more things. Hope this helped kinda :D
I agree with you on the fact that anchors should get hatch, there's also a chance that if there's a jackal, he could scan you and not the roamer, it'll be a waste for him since he's scanning someone on the site.
Anxiety disorders i didnt know she was bad and thought she was good but i have learnt that at silver she is best bc bronze nobody knows maps and silver people will have her and know maps and gold its too easy to die with her
There are a lot of reasons i could think off. subpar guns, gagdets that only help her and not her team, Ability that isn't viable half the time and shes also made for roaming meaning that the moment they see you play cav they KNOW your coming from behind. The jäger could be on site but caveira wont be. If i play against a rook i wouldn't expect him to be on the top floor while objective is bottom floor but if i played a caveira i'd check every single room and corner on the top floor before i went to objective on bottom floor. Caveiras weakness is just that, shes meant for roaming.
Yes, she's meant for roaming. It also means that when your team is dropping like flies, your gadget and ability are almost useless when you have to run back in to defend the objective.
Legion Luna Her guns are on the weak side and she doesn't provide enough for her team unless she gets an interrogation which is rare against plat and diamond players and nearly impossible in major and pro leagues. She is good for tanks like silver though because the communication is weak and the skill is not great.
Ben Rumpel exactly, just look up high-skilled cav players and they are insanely good for their team with callouts and picking off some important offense operators
Boii.. did you even watch the stream.. They gave her a stupid shield cause with impact nades she can do everything like going into places faster and etc... Not because they want her to be an anchor.. No offense but if you don't know stuffs its better to not tell people about it and spread stupid rumors
@@emsontop yeah her shotgun is good but her 9mm C1 is perfect. At least for me. Low recoil, high damage, big magazine. I can adjust to the fact that she has a lower fire rate by aiming for the head or landing the first shot.
Cav is definitely in the best tier or possibly even the best roamer you blew her off way too quickly. 1. When slow walking with silent step, she literally makes 0 sound 2. If you are accurate, her pistol is basically a shot gun which is capable of long range attacks 3. An interragation going off is possibly one of, if not the best thing to occur for the defending team during a round 4. She has a smaller hit box than Jäger, Bandit and Pulse 5. With a good headset you basically have pulses ability (to a certain degree) TL;DR Cav is literally all advantages aside from her gun
KnuckFuckle So what u are saying is that basically every operator is like pulse but to a certain degree? And her pistol definitely isn't a shotgun. I don't think that VG meant that you shouldn't roam with cav, I think he meant that Cav just isn't as good as pulse, bandit, jager. Which is true, since Cav doesn't really get used in pro league anymore, while those 3 do. Once u get to plat 2, Cav isn't really viable anymore. And add the fact that she's the least flexible operator in the game, since roaming is basically the only thing she can do, considering her gadets, her ability and her stats.
I’m probably a little late because I just started playing a couple of months ago but I love your content and appreciate what you’re doing!! It’s been more than helpful.. Game-changing
I'm serious when I say this, but Tachanka is the best roamer in the game. Put down the gun where you want it, and leave. People expect you to stay in room and not out roaming. Since hes slow you won't notice him flicking across the map. Theres many other techniques that work with him but these are some of the major ones.
Another reason I agree with the anchor reinforcing hatches is because jackal will go to hatches to get footprints, if it is a reamer the reamer will be exposed, however if an anchor does it he will track the anchor and it wont impact because hes on site
Lol me and my friends agree completely and another reason for ankers to reinforce hatches is if theres a jackal 4 example if he pings footsteps and he pings an anchor its obvious that they there and they can protect their positions
God no. As a Cav player, I use her 3 speed and silent step, along with opening up a bunch of hatches w/ her shotgun in the preparation phase to be able to make incredibly long flanks quickly and quietly. The point of Cav, imo, is to be able to make ridiculous flanks without the enemy being able to predict it.
Andy Sanders, yes, but that is only at point blank range.After that, the gun has significant drop off. The primary weapons aren't winning any awards either, as I would say most people would prefer a MP7 or 416C. If you don't believe me about the Luison, here is a link to Rogue 9's video about its damage: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qI578_KMUMk.html
"5 people would stay on site and no one would leave" i'd rather having that now than 4 roamers contributing nothing as they are on the other side of the map while obj is being taken
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO DOESNT CONDONE SPAWN PEAKING AND SUCH, it’s so annoying. I do it very rarely and feel so bad afterwards and won’t do it for the rest of the game. 90% of the time I thankfully don’t hit my shots. You can’t even get into the building or can’t have a chance to fight because of it
Fr. Idk why people think it's ok. It sucks being on the other end because it feels like you didn't have a chance. Plus it doesn't even bring that much reward. If you wanted a pick, play the game like normal.
thats like...your opinion man...and besides..when you think "defense" you either thing fortification or booby trap... so...trap operators are decent concept. specially since frost traps can often catch people by suprised on stair corners or window sills. but I will say alot of people do need help with kapkans traps. alot of people often set them on windows or at eye lvl on doors. which is pretty bad.
Also during prep phase, run with your pistol out, you run much faster. Especially if you’re a 1speed, it makes a huge difference if you’re going for hatches, or maestro placing his evil eyes(but it also helps a lot as a 3speed, e.g. getting all your prismas places as alibi)
ChocoboGoesKweh it depends where you're standing or droning, because if you're on your drone the whole time waiting to pre-aim they might go a different way other than your prediction and sneak up on you
you can still move the drone around. Btw valkyrie is just a better choice.. Echo is alright in maps where they have easy access to obj and are close to it since you can stick around those area's, wait for them to push and echo them so 1 or more of them are dizzy and you've got another operator most of the time to kill them while you still have time to shoot them. So he's good to roam but not too far from obj since getting back is a pain
Man I miss old siege in my opinion it looked more beautiful and yes there was some broken things but you can’t tell me you don’t miss when almost every 3 speed had an acog or miss 3 speed jager
this guy is the only guy i can listen to without getting bored or annoyed. perfect audio with interesting tips and explaining is top class. love you dude
I... I disagree about smoke and echo Smoke can room but as you said on frost you should room near the obj Echo can room and stay in a position and use his drone to know there position and do the flank
I agree with just about all the questions EXCEPT the flanking and running. I say when you flank someone and get a pick, hold that position simply because you KNOW the allies will come look for you. If they drone you out then yea move then but other than that I feel holding that position will maximize the amount of kills you could possibly get.
Gold. I'm a noob though I joined siege as of May 2018, and while I do have all of the dlc ops expect for Hibana, I haven't actually spent time learning the maps that well, except for House. And I main Echo, what I do is I wait for the enemy to appear on my drone, stun them, and then rush, and return to the objective. I'm not positive if it is the best strategy, but it works for me.
Another reason why anchors should reinforce hatches and off-site is because of Jackal. If he goes over to the hatches and scans the footprints, if a roamed reinforced it, they’ll be spotted. If an anchor gets scanned it’s not as bad.
Cav is definitely a mid. She was a mid when this video came out and her upcoming nerf is going to cement her further as a mid. She was built for roaming but as new ops came her viability had decreased significantly.
I never stay on objective anymore, with any operator, because it's a one-way ticket to Fuze town. Every since they buffed the ever living shiz out of Fuze it's been super-risky to stay on the objective. So I have a 2-speed operator with a fantastic mid-range smg, why not roam?
I have been playing the game for a whole year then I tried another game and loved it then came back to siege and had to go through the hardship again of being a begginer but I didn’t give up and I had to watch all your vids to help me so thank you 🙏
I think a really good buff for tachanka would be when he ADS on turret he steps on a bar that raises a shield to cover like 80% of his lower body combined with the top shield but then very much limits his turn radius to a very small amount. Only while ADS
Hey Varsity can you make a video of how to counter aggressive defenders and spawn peekers it's a massive problem for me in ranked and it would help alot !
Now I understand that this came out awhile ago, but jaeger and bandit got their Acog removed, Caveira is one of the best roamers because her kit is literally for skulking around quietly, and Vigil is best roamer, can’t be spotted (if used right), 3 speed, amazing guns
