Yes, I am aware that I forgot to speak on the economy system (buying loadouts every round) and nuances such as crosshairs, etc.. That’s what happens when you flow off the top of the dome 😅 I will be covering those things extensively in another video coming soon 😎
Don’t even worry about it man because I am the target audience of this video (I’m playing Valorant for the FIRST time ever on PS5, I don’t even own a PC) and your video was still very informative and useful. I have been watching lots of Valorant guides since this closed beta started but almost ALL of those guides are strictly PC and I was asking/hoping someone would make a console guide so thank you for the effort. You said all the things people need to hear, ESPECIALLY about the talking your so right. This is NOT Warzone you cannot go into game’s totally mute you will hurt your team every round and that’s a huge problem with “console gamers” almost no one has a mic… well I do and I use it every time I play Valorant and I’m having so much fun. And if you really want to get good at Valorant the all you console gamers are going to have to cough up some money for a microphone. Idk if it’s because people just think “consoles are for casuals” well that’s fine but if your serious about playing and improving at Valorant PLEASE invest in a microphone. There’s a good reason every high tier player uses a mic. So yea regardless of all the great advice in this video if your going to keep playing this like Warzone (trust me I know I was playing it and I know 95 percent of the players DONT have mics) then your going to have a bad experience. So don’t count the game out if your struggling… you prolly just need to buy a mic. Being a “console casual” is fine…. In Warzone but in Valorant it absolutely does not fly.
@@YaboiBrent07 I appreciate you Brent! Truly! 👊🏽 And I agree! I have a $30 microphone that sounds solid and gives me the opportunity to communicate with my team effectively. That way I can do everything in my power to help us achieve victory.
This comment made my week! 😭 I’m always going to try to show authenticity, love and positivity in a space where there is a lack of it. I appreciate you fam and hope you are having an incredible week! 🫡🙏🏽
Just started playing about 2 days ago and I'm constantly dropping 30 kill games. I bloody love this game. It is so good. I just wanna get my cross hair the way it looks when I see my teammates when I die and spectate them and I want to learn all the agents. Because there's so many and it's a little overwhelming. I bet people that play Apex legends. Might feel the same way, but I've played Apex. Legends from season zeroh, unlike this, just started 2 days ago. But god I can see why this is a top tier competitive shooter
@@parkseybeams2297 haha sounds like you got bit by the Valorant Bug! Welcome! It is a tough game to master, but incredibly rewarding to see the progress being made. Best of luck to you out there! 👊🏽🔥
Dude I just wanted to say thank you for making it a big point to clarify how much moving vs standing still affects your aim. I come from games like Apex and Siege where strafe shooting is far and away the best way to play the game, and I kept trying to move and shoot every gunfight. After hearing you talk about that I went from 5th on my team every game I have played this past week, to 2nd literally the very next game. I did not respect how seriously this game takes aiming being easier while not moving.
Hearing about your improvement made my freakin day! Lets go! I’m glad to hear you are taking strides and getting better. Yeah, this game is the polar opposite of titles we are used to. The more you can differentiate them, the better you will be here 💪🏽
Thank you so much for this, bro. I've played so much console OW over the years, and I've been wanting to get into Valorant since it dropped. This guide is super helpful!
I’ve chosen the smooth option for the response curve, its honestly really good for me, another thing is that I turned off walk when focused. This makes you have the ability of running while focused. I know the game has awful recoil if youre moving, but I find I have much more control in medium to far range fights a lot more now that I’m not so slow while focused, this does mean you have to react quickly and even if you do it correctly you still have a 50/50 chance of dying or living but its going to make you harder to hit since youre moving faster than others can handle
Its mainly a tip for when youre trying to make a good swing, you cant swing if you are going slower than a turtle right? Anyone holding that angle would get you, but with running speed even as your focused its sooo easy to take a swing and frag out !!
Yeeeeppp! I’ve since dropped walking while focused too. Just didn’t mention it here like I should have lol. Gotta try out smooth though a bit more. In comparison to light, what do you think about it?
@@CraysWorld101 I haven’t tried light yet, only standard, linear and the smooth one. Personally linear was too much for me in this game compared to fortnite, but maybe being in first person changes the feel. Standard is perfect nothing wrong I just wanted to be smooth and able to stop on a dime its worked so far will update you if I do make changes and whatnot. Keep up the great content
I’m familiar with shooters but this video was still helpful for learning the agents and their abilities and knowing I can train with the bots will be a good way to warm up, appreciate it man💚
Just started playing on pS5 last night. Was excited it finally came to console. One of my Apex buddies started training me and your video is great! Winter time is going to get real lol
@@user-bl6to5eq8m I am so glad to hear this was helpful! I come from Apex legends as well so I know the initial struggle to make the transition haha. Give yourself some grace and time. You will only get better and I believe you will enjoy yourself!
Is iso any good because I see alot of people playing him but I don't think he is that hard to kill that little shield he has is a little bs but is it actually using him or are there better agents to use instead of him. Only asking as I'd like to buy some agents but not sure who to get as I'm using the UK guy with the fire ball
Another tip for the Xbox users: If you have gamepass, it unlocks all the characters so you may feel overwhelmed on who to play/try. I'd say try them out one by one and take your time with each and try not to rush through them when finding who works great for you.
tips for console players.. disable the forced walk while in focus. it’s a bad habit to use focus just to ensure you walk, it’ll inhibit your swings. get used to walking by pushing the thumbstick less there’s also a setting that lets you change the walk/run threshold.
The aim curve thing basically determines how your aim assist helps do if it is in heavy your sensitivity will strongly lower when aiming at an enemy so you can keep your crosshairs on the enemy while light makes your sensitivity lower very very lightly so you have more control and speed up when aiming at an enemy. This is how i understood it so pls correct me if im wrong
You are pretty much spot on, with the exception that it does not change the strength of aim assist in any capacity. It just changes your turn acceleration and responsiveness 💪🏽
Tip for controller for 1 shot headshot games… use a lower vert sense so your crosshair placement is easier, sense is subjective yes but I’ve been playing siege controller and this tip helps me personally
It’s nice to have a shooter us old guys can rock at on this game is a 1 to 1 copy of counter strike with powers. Launched my first game the other day brought back my fy_poolday memories and slaughtered the other team.
@@satyricon420 haha right?! The skill gap in his game gives us more of an opportunity to fight back against all of the Youngins! You just can’t beat it. 🤝
Played briefly with a friend and his girlfriend on PC as well as long before that watching clips of it or CSGO over time or shroud so when I actually got into it do to the console beta (I intend to play on both) some stuff already stuck. A big habit I’m trying to break from Apex is one a TON of battle royale players seem to have. Crosshairs WAY TOO LOW as if angled at the ground to pick up loot.
YES!!! You are spot on there. I still have that habit of having a low cross hair as a result of playing battle Royales over the last several years. It isn’t the easiest to break, but where there is a will there is a way!
I loved this video really! I have trouble with focusing or understanding sometimes with tutorials so valorant was confusing for me- but your video really helped me understand the game and im actually excited to learn more of it now! Have a good day/night wherever u read this and yk now u got a lifetime supporter :DD
Jennie, you are so awesome! I am glad to have been able to help you out and I wish you nothing but the best in your Valorant journey! I hope you have an incredible week and I will always appreciate your support 😁
@@justinholtman PC and console are two separate entities. There is no crossplay between them here, so if you are solid on console, you’ll be all good here 👊🏽
Truly depends on play style. If you tend to be more of an aggressive player, I would advocate for somebody like Phoenix or Reyna. If you tend to be a bit more of a passive player, somebody like Sage or Deadlock would suit your fancy, at least to start.
I’m ascendant on PC and dropping 30 at least nearly every game and I wouldn’t recommend not using it. You just gotta only use it like aiming in Rainbow Six, and don’t use it up close if you can help it
I had a dev come in one of my streams and confirm to me that the base horizontal and vertical sens is not a 1:1 ratio. Vertical needs to be higher to be closer to horizontal sens
The battle pass is carried over from the PC version so I would not worry too much about that. Once it resets, you will have the normal allotted time to complete it.
Play a mix of modes. Don’t just play ranked. Play tdm deathmatch and swift as well. It’ll better you as a player with aim and util usage and be quick games to get those weekly tasks done. Hyper focus weekly task completion
Agreed! In this game, you have to have an open mind and be willing to learn from others. You will be shocked with how helpful teammates can really be when you keep an open mind.
To start, neither. I would not suggest those characters until you have already gained some experience. I would start with much simpler characters such as Phoenix or Reyna. That way you can focus on mechanics without needing to worry about utility as much
You can be good in both! I grew up on COD and even created for it for some time. You just have to remember they are two totally different games and flip the switch in your brain when you play either or. You got this Jamey 👊🏽
@CraysWorld101 oh I've already gotten the hang of the gameplay loop because I played on PC, PC fried though and so I haven't played in ages. I'm honestly very surprised at how well it's translated over to console! It took me a good day or so to find the right sensitivity settings but I've been dropping 20-25 kills with my girl Jett almost every game now 👊
@@CraysWorld101 sad, i dont have a pc but i always liked to play valorant, that is why im thrilled when they announced that there will be valorant in ps5
Haha things may be a little rough to start on console, but remember, a lot of these players jumping in will be brand new to the game. Give those, willing to listen, a little bit of grace and teach them a thing or two 😉
I haven't seen a single Ximmer so far and Vanguard is active on the game so they'll get banned in zero time flat, Riot doesn't mess around with their anti cheat lol
@@CraysWorld101 is it cross platform with Xbox? I just got accepted into the beta today and I see the PC/Controller icon for anyone who isn’t on PlayStation
@CraysWorld101 ahhhh okay. Glad it's an even playing field. Game feels surprisingly great compared to PC. Still can't seem to find the right dead zone settings but I'll iron it out as time goes on haha
Lol game still wont be esports for console pc is better c9ntroller takes no skill play this on pc youll see what i mean majority of yall wpuld be hardstuck bronze lol
