I use some of my old Army cadet training in HLL. If you are running across an open field, I use the 'I'm up, they've seen me, I'm down' rule. So you basically stand up whilst saying that and by the time you've finished you should be going prone. Then try and move sideways a bit, and repeat, it does really work. Also another tip, if you are being shot at in tall grass go prone and wait as many players will assume they have killed you. Not always the case for both tips especially when playing against vets but I find these to be really useful

Regarding slicing the pie: STAY BACK FROM THE CORNER\WINDOW. Keep a few feet back, and the chance of the enemy seeing your big-ass forhead as you're peeking around before you can see him is GREATLY reduced.

Just went through basic training irl. Here's what the army tought me. -fire back -Immediately go prone -call out where the fire is coming from -people in the front suppress. -people in the back flank.

3:08 This is why I think the M1 Garand and Gewehr 43 rifles are the best guns in the game. They're suitable for most types of combat - be it long range, close quarters, defending, or clearing out a trench/building. They're incredibly versatile. I hate having to switch from the M1 Garand to the M3 Grease Gun when playing American support.

I'll be honest, when I start taking fire, all I see is "Killed in Action" XD

A habit I’ve picked up in Onward VR is to look for even the slightest bit of raised terrain to lay down behind when taking fire. Be it a concrete barricade or a pile of sand, it gets the job done.

Got over 150 hours in the game but still booked marked this video as there are some good pointers here, if you do the little things right big things can happen, it's good to be reminded of the basics once in a while. Nice video man subbed.

Guide: “Are there any teammates nearby?” Teammate: “Yeah, we’re kinda fucked here.”

First, it's good to see that you fixed Mage's entry. Second, I love ducking back behind cover, like a building, and still getting capped - seemingly through the wall.

Great vid and can’t wait for the new update. In the Marine Corps we practice ADDRAC alert, direction, description, range, assignment, and control.

I don't play Hell Let Loose, but this is pretty good advice for a good amount of FPS games in general.

Hit the deck (non negotiable). Throw smoke if you got them. Return fire if possible. Just shoot in the direction of the enemy. Don't try to kill. Suppress. Survive. Find cover and concealment.

I just bought the game a few days ago, and this (plus an extremely welcoming set of players in my first few games) has really helped me get acclimated to the game. Thanks for this video, and all the class guides you've done!

In the military they teach you "react to contact, go prone, get on line, then assess, all while maintaining fire. (Get on line so you can maximize fire towards the enemy, and so you don't shoot your buddy in the back of the head.

Another TIP, Your POV is not your eyes, it's the top of your chest. When you think your only exposing maybe the top of your head as you peer over cover, the enemy is seeing more of you than you realize.

As an MG gunner its important to fire in small bursts so the enemy doesn't have time to figure out where they are being shot from

This can also apply to real life! (Assuming you don't get killed before then)

Got the game Sunday night and have already watched almost every guide you have

The red flash indicating the direction you were hit from and the hissing sound of the Nazi grenades are two points of brilliance, thanks for sharing.

7:00 there is a tip for slicing windows and doorways, stand farrr back so ur muzzle doesnt peek out and it makes ur harder to see/hit

All this is good, but I think the one more important thing is proper routing and positioning. I've noticed most people go through routes that have little to no cover or too many locations to get shot from. It's much easier to identify where shots are coming from and take good cover if there are only so many viable angles of attack. Now there are many factors to account for for this, but the basics are dont run in the open if you don't have to, dont run down corridors/streets with no cover if you don't have to, and pick areas which have good cover or concealment to possible firing positions. Also as a side note, if you're going to slice as you peak around cover, step away from your cover as you do it. Your barrel will stick out before you can even peak if you hug your wall/window like that. It seems trivial, but it's really easy for someone to notice your barrel and wait for you to peak. In addition, when you do fire it limits those who will see your muzzle flash to those you can actually shoot, microinteractions like this go a long way in making you harder to locate and kill

the thing i hate in shooters the most is how many people dont try to avoid frontal engagement. if you have people keeping the line its always the perfect time to go around and attempt a flank

This should be in the Noobs Bible! Also good stuff for vets.

Just starting playing this weekend and love the game. I really appreciate your videos.

I just shoot back. Hip fire in the general direction while trying to get some kind of cover. It doesn't really work, but I try to give the enemy something to think about

Remember kids RTR. Return fire, take cover ,return accurate fire. Or u can give a addrac- alert ,direction, Description, range ,assignment ,control “CONTACT(give direction in or around where ever ur taking fire from)200m out. Then u assign ur men. MGS OPEN UP WITH TALKING GUNS THE REST OPEN UP 1 EVERY 3 AND PREP TO FIRE AND MOVE(I’m up he sees me I’m down) Then control ur squad. MGS ARE SET 1st team move up,MGS KEEP ON WITH SUPPRESSION. Once uve located closed with and destroyed the enemy. Give safe( security ,auto weapons on fields of fire, entrenchment) then give ace( ammo casualties equipment report) then repeat cycle.

Outstanding video from Soul, as usual. Nothing groundbreaking here, but takes a lot of information that comes at you in a span of about 3 or 4 seconds and breaks it down it clear to follow steps. Even at level 206 it's sometimes hard for me to keep a clear head when I'm taking fire, vision is blurring, the red hit indicator is lighting up, and I'm trying to make it to the closest cover👍.

Head this was for hell let loose, a game i don't even play but the tips and methods given apply pretty well to most other games i've been playing so thanks man nixe work.👍

Context of your situation is important as well but blends with the basics you’ve outlined here. i think something people forget is that in HLL your life is worthless unless you are attacking an enemy garrison, or defending/patrolling yours. FIRE YOUR RIFLE, you’d be surprised what general suppression of a suspected enemy stronghold can do!

Great video. When not under threat I like to employ the OODA loop system. Observe, Orient, Decide, Act.

One little strategy I've learnt is that sometimes you can win a firefight just by being patient. If you're part of a larger firefight, and you get fired upon by the enemy, finding some cover and letting them magnetize their attention upon you might turn your hovel into a bullet magnet but it also gives your team more leeway to take their own positions and pick off the enemies that are aware of your position. Given enough time, the enemies focused on you will naturally either be killed or have their attention diverted and you'll now be in an ideal position to make your next move.

Often times if I take fire in the open, if I get hit but I don’t die, I hit the dirt as fast as I can react to recognizing getting hit but not killed, that way, I just pray to God they think they killed me, I sit still until I’m not under fire anymore, and then bandage myself, works more often than not for me

Calling out the 3 Ds will help your squad suppress them more effectively. When crossing open fields under fire use “I’m up, he sees me I’m down,” to time your alternation between full probe and sprint.

A good rule of thumb is to always keep something In front of u. A tree a dead cow anything that can obstruct the view. If u can’t see them they might not see u. I’m always the only one to make it to a strong point Bcas most players don’t know how to play on the ground and slow.

It's funny how much the stuff i learned in the infantry translates to this game, what an experience

Bro ~ this video is just awesome New subscriber earned for sure ✊

Just played a game of HLL, saw one of my buddies get taken down, first instinct was to duck but then I remembered this video so I got behind cover, got 2 kills out of it. Thank you Soul!

The CORRECT way to react to being shot at: LEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY... JEEEEEEEEEEENKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNSSS!!!

1. protect yourself above all, you can't kill or protect anyone anymore if your dead.. find cover. don't die, at all cost. a.k.a. don't be a hero. 2. protect your allies, if they die your unit loses protection, strength and ultimately the battle. 3. the enemy sees you better then you see them or they wouldn't be shooting at you, so DON'T pop back out the same spot where you were getting shot at. try flanking.

This is fairly sound advice all across the board, definitely plan on using this in my next BF1 game!

Also shots have different sounds. Cracks are general gunfire. Snaps are gunfire near you that’s hitting close and whizzes are AT YOU.

I’ve not played this game, but every one of your videos are engaging AF.

I find these methods translate well into other situations such as large-map Battlefield 4 matches.

Another tip I have found is that usualy if your are not trying to sneak behind enemy lines and your shot for example on an open field you can always shoot randomly at the place you got shoot the enemy will surely try to stay behind cover even if you did not managed to saw him giving you some precius seconds to take cover and heal if neccesary works very well

Thanks man, your videos have been so helpful as a new player

Here's a tip for peeking/clearing corners: instead of standing up straight and strafing the corner, right as you're about to become visible, LEAN OUT. It's a small burst of speed that lets you use peeker's advantage even more. Also, unless you're trying to be sneaky, prefire once at hip height, and once at shoulder height. If they're crouched, headshot or upper torso. If they're standing normally, abdomen, and they're still down. if they're standing and leaned around the corner, the second shot should hit them if your aim is good enough. Also, when clearing a corner, STAND BACK. You have the same amount of cover, and you see more for exposing yourself less.

Great and informative. Thank you.

I always learn to survive, of Hell let loose. And I won’t get angry. I’m enjoying his play the video game

Man this reminds me somehow of "sniper school battlefield 2" videos. They were awesome at the time. Good job 👌

Sometimes dropping and playing dead works. Not every time but its on 3 or 4 occassions worked. But as said Assess

For me I go probe regularly when running in the open, and I try my best to stay behind something. When I’m taking fire and they’re farther away I drop immediately and they usually think I was killed. And I patiently wait for them to confirm the kill or feel safe enough to peek and hit him when he’s not looking. Even the smallest of mounds or change of elevation can be just enough to drop and disappear on them.

Here I am again, I don't play this game and this is yet another educational video describing what the heck to do in any shooter. Scenario one: noob gets shot, spends useless time spinning in circles trying to find the enemy, and not taking cover/dodging enemy fire then dies "what the fuck! Where?! How?!" Scenario two: an aware player gets shot at with the same exact pattern, ducks or jumps out of the way and takes quick peeks to *identify, assess and react.* If this player was a xMLGx420xx gamer, he'd kill them with a single retaliatory peek

Hey Soul! i got the game on free week, and i loved your guides! They really helped me alot, and taught me how to communicate with my teammates alot better! So in that case, im going to buy it now. But something im a bit bummed out about, is that you dont have a guide on my favorite role in the game, a tanker. So would it be possible if you could make a tanker role video?

I have used the tactic of going prone and not moving to play dead and had luck fairly often if the shots are medium to long range

I'm up. He sees me. I'm down

Observe, Orient, Decide Act(OODA).

Is it wierd that I panic when I don't get shot at?

Love your videos, not sure if it’s been pointed out before, but you sound like the “How It’s Made” guy lol

These tricks are also good for other shooter games like Squad

OODA Loop, observe, orient, decide, act

Usually in that game I’m already dead before anyone even able to identify where fire coming from

3:33 "A few shot in order to take you out" proceeds to headphones the dude 😂

It's called I'm up he sees me I'm down... Army taught me

I have bought this game for console, even so I found the quality of the game impressive, it reminds me a lot of Medal of Honor and Band Of Bothers

6:12 when i got shot in an open field, i lay down and stop all movemant, no healing, no reloding. Usually they stop fire at you because they think you are dead.

Appreciate the tips!

Identify: getting shot at Assess: you have died screen React: Spawn back and do it again

Great tips mate, thank you! 👍🏻

In the actual military you reach to contact by returning fire then finding cover then reassessing the situation

Philipp Weritz always love your videos sniper, especially your guides. Have you thought about making a guide how this cycle of "commander drops supplies, engineer builds stuff that in turn helps commander" works? I feel like lots of people dont understand the absolute importance of this, and I havent found a video that explains the connection between nodes, supplies, what the commander needs and how this influences strategy like garrisons, more/less tanks being spawned etc.

Trouble is, when the other guy has 1000+ hours you usually just die on the spot

This are excellent fps advice in general.

The hit direction indicator is bunk alot of the time. Sometimes it shows you being hit from the opposite direction of the incoming fire. Not sure what's causing it. Great video as always!

6:36 I had a game today where an enemy mg was right on the other side of a small wall from me just UNLOADING at me in hipfire and I just kept taking pops at him with my kar98 from up then right then finally left I’m sure some luck and lack of skill on his part is why I lived but he’s definitely right in the video😂

This game keeps my OODA loop thrown off.

"Follow the pointers!" Usually if i ever see a pointer the 0.5 i'm also dead but most of the time i don't even see a pointer cuz i get killed instantly!

Calling an BAR and an STG44 as a sub machinegun, kills my brain cells and I don't have too much of them

I don't even play this game,I don't even have a fkin PC but it's just so entertaining

Another banger of a video

As a Squad player, i can tell this is laugh. You have so many things that help you to know position of the enemy i HLL.

I've never played HLL but still see this shit as viable for DayZ

Well I've definitely been immediately going prone 🤣🤣

I don't panic when getting shot at. If anything it kinda pisses me off

This was NOT me when I got shot at in real life. I prefer a different 3 step system. DUCK PRAY SEE IF YOU GOT SHOT Godspeed brothers

lol I rage a lot when I die 5 times in a row thanks for this video gonna see how I can improve

Honestly, I see that red hit indicator in my dreams. And my waking nightmares..

There's an animation on console when your shooting at some 1 and they hit prone it can look like you have hit them been caught a few times by that lol

Seems like a synonym for the ooda loop lol

What sucks is i know how to identify distance and direction of incoming fire IRL but i suck at it in this game bc i dont know the maps yet

follow the most common phrase in ww2 stay out in the open keep and keep your headdown!

small nitpick I'm sorry, but the machine guns available in the loadouts are not heavy machine guns.

dash - down - crawl - observe - sights - fire :)

Return Fire - Take Cover - Return Accurate Fire

these guides can be work even in other games

i realized don't forget to change ur outfit to white when ur in snow

i thought enlisted feels quite empty, but hell let loose feels like counter strike in a battlefield size map

I prefer the Strike Scream Run method

I can't help but hit the ground when i am being shot at lol

I use this system with Insurgency sandstorm is it worth the push ? No ima break contact call for closs air support and then push right and left in L formations once you have 2 fire teams using L shapes you can move on the other team

F - Fire superiority U - Uncontrolled Hemorrhage C - Cover K - Kill
