- With the recent release of Arma Reforger on PS5, the game has gained a ton of new players. So I wanted to go over some tips I wish I knew sooner to maximize your enjoyment with every session. This is my startup guide including some MUST KNOW tips and tricks for noobs.
Discord: discord.ylsgaming.net
I started playing it yesterday and it all seems very overwhelming at first, but in my first couple games I found a few noobs like me and we started figuring things out.
I love the community that these games create.
Stick with it, it gets really good when everything clicks!
Always nice to see a video from you! Got the game on PS5 about 2 weeks after it came out. I really struggled to learn the basics, but I had so much fun doing it. Looking forward to delivering supplies, since that's what I like to do the most, and I know how be a team player
It is 5 Capital zones to win.
Backpacks hold differing amounts. You can get the gist of how much they hold by how many supplies the backpack costs.
Having the scope on the gun makes it only a one time price as it rolls over into the cost of the gun itself and doesnt make it cost more when you respawn later.
Firing flares lower to the ground will allow it to burn on the ground letting you utilize the shadows for extra stealth around the edges of the light.
Building arsenals at the MOB at the start of the game is bad manners and makes enemies of experienced players.
The compass arrow ALWAYS points north, if you know how a compass works even if you cant read the text on it, you can tell what direction it is.
Driving with the doors open allows you to exit vehicles slightly faster.
All AK Pattern rifles can utilize the 44 round magazines.
The Default AK Pattern zero of 440m is meant to be fired at center mass as you will hit around 22 centimeters above post at typical combat ranges in order to have a better sight picture of your target.
Its never a bad idea to steal medical supplies off of FIA bodies.
AI will spawn at all places that the MOB can spawn at the start of the game. So if you find random AI in the middle of what you believe would be nowhere (Not road checkpoints) your MOB has a chance to spawn there at the start of the game.
When pushing to new bases, Take the remaining supplies from the base in order to have enough(typically) to build a radio at the next base.
Remember peoples names, Find good players to attach yourself to. (This is much more difficult with the volume of new players)
Entre Doux and Monti are superfluous points. They are nice to have but nowhere NEAR as essential as people make them out to be. Take Andre's Beacon and Pinewood instead and build radio masts there.
Soviet Vehicles have an extremely powerful Reverse Gear and can reverse up very steep slopes with little effort.
You can interact with supply points from inside the vehicle if you get close enough to the sign.
Wow these are some great points. Thank you for the incredible advice!
Been playing this game for the last couple weeks and I can't get enough of it! It's all I think about right now - even when I should be workng lol.
great video and love the interactions wit the other players. Awesome. Not so much the chewing over mic tho lol 😁
Great video bro - new sub here. Keep up the awesome work.
Massive thumbs to everyone who was involved in this video (knowingly or not) - some truly funny moments!
@@mattatkins4804 thank you! I tried to mask the chewing from the random player as much as I could in editing but there was no getting rid of it without cutting the in game audio completely between his dialogue. Thankfully he gobbled it down fairly fast and wasn’t an issue for the remainder of the video lol
Great helpful video, is 47 old? 😂 I’m really enjoying learning the game on Xbox, watching lots of content like this is helping loads, thank you.
I'm 48 ... perfect game for older gamers .... 10 out of 10
I turn 47 next week brother!! This game is a little more my pace compared to the nonsense of CoD. 😅😂
48 and just finding this gem.
I just turned 56, so your still a pup!!! :)
Im 47…love this game
Hell yeah! Helping noobs! Lets goooooooo!
@@RorchaksRevenge did you like your cameo? Haha
My mother would be proud!😂@@ylsgaming
I have this game on Xbox Series, I bought it on its launch day, I tried to play it and I didn't understand anything, I got lost, I didn't know anything, so I left it in a few days, these days I have been playing it for two weeks and I have learned a lot from it how to play it, for me it is the best war game that can exist so far, I want to thank you for caring about teaching players what to do, and how to play, the only thing I need is to play it online, I don't have a gamepass for it moment, I hope to soon play in company and make friends playing
@@silensio1975 this game is great for making friends! Mainly because it’s strongly a team based game. Thank you for your kind words and I’m really glad this video has helped you. I enjoy helping new players learn the basics. And to be honest, I’m sort of a noob myself! It’s a fun journey to learn and also to teach others. Hope to see you on the battlefield one day!
Awesome tutorial mate. First time I've heard 'playing tactical barbie'. So true!
Great guide as always
Thanks for helping newbies like me I'm on ps5 and struggling
@@matthewreed3799 it’s a lot to take in for a typical console gamer. But that’s the beauty of Arma, it steps outside of the boundaries and gives you a more immersive opportunity with gaming. Stick with it because games like this have a lot more to offer than your typical console FPS
Great video! You seem a lot of fun to play with.
I like to keep things light, join the discord and jump in on some of our Arma reforger events! We usually have a good time
@ Thanks for the invite! I just joined.
Please continue with the series if you can very enjoyable
Could you make a full settings guide?
Honestly with reforger, I suggest using the presets. I find VERY seldom differences between Ultra and Medium. I usually fine tune my settings but in reforger I don’t find the need to
got the game yesterday on PC. only problem im having is i run around for half an hour just for the game to either freeze/lag me out of the server, or i die before i can react to a guy i cant see
Gotta find people like this. Talking and trying. Mimic behavior you perceive to be successful, use radio backpack respawns, and pay close attention to places you frequent and learn the layouts and hidey holes.
Excellent advice. Trying to conquer this game alone on multiplayer servers is near impossible. Find a wing and get under it, there are a lot of people willing to walk you through the initial basics
@@ylsgaming i actually found a pilot last night that was extremely welcoming and he flew me around for about 2 hours. when i eventually got out of the heli he even hopped on my radio channel
I actually prefer offical over W.C.S.. W.C.S usually don't really have any teamwork, no need to move supplies, everyone just larping around their kitted out little soldiers. No radio backpack to use as a respawn ect.
Course its also hella fun, but if you want teamplay go offical/russian as the video says.
Yep I agree. Official servers are official servers, you always get bad apples but I feel like you have much better chance of actually doing something tactical if you’re joining solo in an official server than a lot of the big names
WRONG
Same
@@unitor699industrieseveryone has there own opinions
Same on German Servers :) americans get stomped on Most Games,until the half russian Team Changes to US after winning a round , then the US also wins a round :)
i played and lost maybe 10 straight games as US and when i switched sides (i'm a ps5/arma noob) everyone was joking about how bad US was
@@joshuablanchette878 that’s the secret to the game, soviets are usually the OP players
@@ylsgamingbut only bc every new player joins US. Or most new players.
Something I do is start as a squad leader and than join up with another leader so we can both see where we are on the map when driving or in the field fighting
@@dalehumphries9820 that works well, and you can be more effective conquering the map when people join both of your squads and you can coordinate large attacks
@ylsgaming you just got a subscription, next to never do creators reply to comments on the videos. I'm glad you do brother, keep up the great work 👍 and I'm keen to see the next
@ I appreciate each and every engagement through my content. I do the same thing in game! Join my discord if you ever want to get in on our reforger events. We have one scheduled for tonight actually
In less than a week ive but 65 hrs just due to how real it is with my background
I'd like to learn how to range find with Binoculars. 🙏 Appreciate help.
@@fallen7for7 use your map to range. Figure out where you are on the map, figure out where your target is and use the lines for range
Just learn the ability to guess ranges.
You can survive a car flip if you have a roof on it😊
Even a seatbelt would help, I was elected so friggin fast lol. Then the jeep decided to explode which didn’t help matters lol
Battlefield 3 on PS3 had option to talk to Squad or Team, was cool and removed for Battlefield 4 and so on.
@@NormogGaming they did yes but Arma offers a simulated radio in terms of frequency choice, stealing enemy radios for intel and even out of range static
Mr. Do Everything Tip #9: When building a structure with more than one person, if you bring the progress to 80%, stop building and move to start the next structure because they will finish it before your next cycle finishes!
Tip 1 stop building god damn arsenals at the damn beginning of the game.
Tip 2 stop dying so much with loadout
Tip 3 know what to prioritize on the map and where to contest the enemy.
Tip 4 make use of your basic spawn kit to clear out AI controlled zones aka the FIA
Tip 5 loot free bandages and morphine from the AI unless they already used them also their guns and ammo is free make use of it.
Tip 6 build your bases up even if its minor base. The bigger the base the longer it takes to capture the point.
Tip 7 actually communicate properly in platoon/Team chat.
Tip 8 stop wasting resources on useless loadouts that you'll never use 😂😂.
Im about 100+ hours in the game I dont understand watching the things that go down at the beginning of the game and I just face palm.
Also people really need to like stop making unnecessary chatter on the mic. It helps alot to hear the direction of gunshots.
Also the illumination flares really need to last longer. You can shoot em in the air and it only lasts for afew seconds its not enough time to like get a look around. You literally need someone dedicated to shooting illumination flares forward for the team to push forward into an AI controlled base.
Also its good to have squad leader with your group at all times to know where the heck you are at on the map. Thats literally how we mostly navigate 😂😂.
Aside from some of the specific things we see and we know as we drive through different towns we know where we are sometimes.
@@koreancowboy42 all very excellent tips!!! Thank you!
I just tell new players. Play 10h with the basic kit only and only loot from dead players. It helped me so much and im very good now with the standart AK and 90% of my gear comes of fallen soldiers
We need tutorials like this. And not telling new players to get a fully kitted AK and a sniper or RPG
Question is the AK the only weapon. In all the videos I see that's the gun being used
@@damionehampton3151 just one of the main assault rifles for the Soviet team. There are m16/m4 variants for the US team
Cold war is a lot better
The part I find most difficult is the controls. On console the controls are genuinely horrible. It’s like they asked the lowest IQ person to map the controls on console, then quality tested it with another idiot with no understanding of controls being different from when you drive vs walking. Then the map omg!!! Trying to select things is like the hardest frustrating thing. Mapping the buttons doesn’t work properly either. Some inputs won’t allow you to double press just long press.
It’s crazy - took me 3 days just to map the buttons comfortably where I can commit to reflex in tough situations.
@@Deerugs yeah the problem is the game has a lot of active keybinds. Even on keyboard there are tons of ‘hold left ALT and press this other button’ type controls. I’m sure trying to compress all these different options into a gamepad wouldn’t be an easy task. Personally I haven’t messed with a controller on this game yet aside from driving.
@ Appreciate you and the content. Keep up the good work 👍🏽🙌🏾💯
So will PS5 get modded servers are any DLC or is it a waste to buy on PS5
Buy it
@@ghostshade1051 it will get mods
10:04 NO NO NO. U just wasting supplys at that point. Do not use all of this on a rifle. That makes it like 200 supplys. I think the reason american and new players have these 600 supplys loadouts its bc of these terrible new player guides that tell them u need always everything for every situation. No u dont. U have the best iron sights and a pair of Binos. Ive done 400+ irons shots and its not that difficult.
But ye. Keep telling them to always take everything at the start.
Shoot I wish I could even play…. Server backend errors for the last 4 days
Yeah its a ddos attack, sucks
Hey what server can we play on?
@@demsaretherealvirus2153 there are lots of good servers out there. We usually host events where a group of my discord members will all join the same server for a night. We have an event scheduled for tomorrow night actually. Join my discord using this link discord.ylsgaming.net and be sure to get the events role and the reforger role so you can see the event! Hope to see you there for tomorrow’s event!
You made a video to help controller players, but didn’t learn the controls to help them when they needed to know what button to press lol
All the controls are displayed on the bottom left of your screen. For instance if you are trying to figure out the radio controls, press one of the bumpers on your controller and you’ll see all the corresponding controls display that go with that bumper
@@ylsgaming me and my friends play on console and we all have a problem with that bc you can barely see what the controls are bc 3/4 of it is cut off on the screen and haven't found a way to adjust the screen
@ sounds like your resolution isn’t right. You may have to edit that on your tv. Should be able to adjust the aspect ratio
@@ylsgaming ill have to check my TV to see if I can do it but that's my only issue playing, if I knew the controls I wouldn't even care but I'm learning slowly
"Shake GCS" is such a disrespectful PUNK, like anyone wants to hear him eating, sniffing, and coughing...
He was told that he's being recorded on a video...
Love the video hate the guy who’s eating on mic with a passion
I tried to edit it out but could only do so much :( when it was happening in real time I was thinking to myself “well this video is ruined”
@ still a good video
i was an expert on this on console got pc tho took a break from arma n tried a lot pc games n just yesterday downloaded it on steam i forgot how fkn fun this game is but after a year off learning keyboard is crazy tuff tho i still fly on controller lol!!!!
@@dav1e479 they’ve dropped some nice updates since last year too! The game truly is better than ever
You get green ping on here lol best i get is 60ish
@@SuperJoeBros I’m in Eastern Canada. I must be close to some of the official servers
with all due respect but the noob (shake cgs) if that's who it is needs to chew with his mouth shut lol slap slap slap is what i hear :D :D. no disrespect intended. i found it quite amusing but highly annoying. Back packs are different sizes (amendment: possibly not sizes but weight capacity than others which is important.) Some can hold more RPG's than others it's in the tutorial.
Thank you for the back pack info! I wasn’t sure for the vanilla game if they could hold more. Annnnnnd I agree lol, it was hard to edit. I cut some out but the little bit that stayed in the video had to stay or I would be cutting out important information for new players
@@ylsgaming no probs buddy it happens. your very welcome. i think it is going to get overhauled eventually to match arma 3 style at some point regarding the BP space.
Listen to this kid chomping and coughing away. Come on Skippy...blow your nose
😆
