  19. A guide to not be garbage in combat

    in Guides

    Posted · Edited by Todd Howard

    This guide for noobs and semi noobs maybe even people with hella hours may learn a thing or two. Simple things, worth remembering. And like everything, it all comes together with practice.

    Not a lot of hours but enough to know every inside and out of combat.

    This guide will cover =

    Combat stance

    Advanced crouch/prone/standing

    Quick peeking

    Adaptive Crosshair

    FOV

    Using cover / concealment

    _____________________________________________________________

    Combat Stance

    You can switch into combat stance by pressing C. This keeps your gun up and your crosshair on your screen so you are ready for anything instead of having to stop moving to get your gun up. This is useful for pushing basically everything in Arma and keeps you ready to fire your weapon. If on Apex controls you need to tap C twice.

    Crouch walking not in combat stance:                               Crouch walking in combat stance:

    _____________________________________________________________

    Advanced crouch/prone/standing

    You can use advanced stances by holding control, and pressing W,A,S, or D. Essentially, these put you into what I like to call "upper" or "lower" versions of crouching and standing and even prone. 

    Now as you can see in these two following pictures, in regular standing my gun barrel doesn't clear the H-barrier so I switch into upper standing to clear it and get a good shot.

    Now, these stances are good for quick peeking. If I was to press X in Upper standing, I would lower into Upper crouching, and vice versa. Simple things that will save your life.

    You can use these advanced positions in prone too, but rarely do I personally use them as they are slow to recover from and dangerous to drop into most of the time. Experiment for yourself.

    _____________________________________________________________

    Quick peeking

    Quick peeking really just explains itself, to quick peek effectively though you need to disable adaptive crosshair which is my next section in the guide. 

    Quick peeking involves getting your crosshair onto your target while crouched behind cover, scoping in, standing up and firing quickly then crouching into cover again.

    _____________________________________________________________

    Adaptive Crosshair

    Adaptive crosshair enabled essentially shows what your bullets will hit, it adapts to the inanimate objects you would hit if you were to fire. Disabling it simply keeps the crosshair in the middle of the screen at all times. I extremely recommend this as it's very useful for quick peeking and less of a hassle than your crosshair sticking to shit in front of you.

    You can switch adaptive crosshair off in Configure>Game and it's in the left column near the bottom.

    Examples of it enabled, and disabled.

    _____________________________________________________________

    FOV

    Now if you have seen montages I know that you have seen a screen so fuckin zoomed out before. This is useful to see more around you and personally alot better in CQC.

    You can switch in game to zoom out by double tapping the ' - ' button on your NUMBERPAD. Although if you want to keep it this way you can change your FOV in the game documents, just search on YouTube I'm too lazy to explain it.

    Using cover / concealment

    This is what really changes your fighting style especially in places like fields and other shit. Lets start with the difference of concealment and cover.

    Concealment = Hiding yourself, bushes, shrubs, things people can shoot you through but hopefully not see you. People with low settings have grass that doesn't render for them from a certain distance so be careful. 

    Cover = Self explanatory. Something you're pretty safe behind like an H-Barrier. BUT H-barriers can be penetrated in the corner of them so be careful.

    Onto how to use this cover. What really changed the game for me was learning how to use hills, ridges, rock walls and other simple shit to my advantage. Using hills and elevated terrain is super useful. Fire shots from one part, descend down run across pop up, fire some more shots. It leaves your enemies clueless. Remember, try to move after firing some shots. It's predictable to stay in the same spot. If you've played for a while you would know that it really is common sense but for new players this information is handy.

    Thank you for reading all the way until here, my first guide so take it easy. I do know that I missed few things for advanced combat, and I didn't go extremely in depth but I touched on some important information. :frog:

    10 minute restraint time?

    Corporal just had me in restraints after the last guy was cuffed for 12 minutes and refused to let me go.

    I know asking for a higher up voids the 10 minute time, but how far does this rule go as in "What if their story is super long" For instance..?

    Asked for me to explain my charges and I explained "I don't care I just want to know why you shot at us." Disrespectful as hell.

    I don't think you're reading correctly. 

    The house holds 3 crates

    That mark on the map is for my own reference. The mark means there are currently 2 crates PLACED

    120ks hold 3 crates. That means whoever buys it, can place 1 more crate.

    Okay that makes more sense. 300k? 315k?
