In my observation, most people think that all video games are the same and that they’re all super easy to play. On the contrary, not all games are the same. There are first person shooters, role-playing, action-adventure, survival and the list could go on.
Everyone has their preference when it comes to what genres or games they like. For example, I like the concept of battle royales but don’t really take a liking to Fortnite as I’ve mentioned before in previous posts.
In the past couple years of playing video games, I’ve picked upon some strategies on how to win matches in various games. I’ll use Rainbow Six Siege and Apex Legends as examples because those are the two games I probably play the most.
To win in a match of Rainbow Six Siege is easier said than done. On the surface, the objectives are easy to achieve; either kill the whole squad or capture the objective. But there is so much more that is required of this game. Patience, concentration, hand-eye coordination, listening for footsteps, making sure you don’t kill a teammate on accident or they kill you. It’s an extremely exhilarating game that makes you want to hold your breath. And when you kill the final operator or they don’t capture the objective in time is very satisfying.
Some tips that I would give about Rainbow Six is to always remain calm, which is hard to do at times but work with your teammates and be patient. People get antsy and like to rush into the situation but patience is literally the biggest key.
Apex Legends has its good and bad times. Some days you have people who actually want to win the game and put in effort. Some days you get people who don’t know how to use operators or go off by themself to a completely different area and then end up dying because it was a three against one fight. I’ve encountered quite a few people like that and it’s not fun because you’re left with the option of leave them and be down one person or try to go save them and have to fight people along the way .
It takes a lot of concentration when it comes to Apex Legends or any battle royale type game for that matter. Also, listening to footsteps also applies to this game and determining where they’re coming from. After several playthroughs, you get a sense for what type of weapons work for you and which ones don’t so I suggest sticking with what you know. I’ve recently used Apex’s training mode to try out shooting at targets and other weapons. It’s been very helpful and I’ve won more games as well. I’ve also been watching more videos on people playing Apex and I’ve aspired to try to play like Youtuber LuluLuvely who plays a lot. It just so happens that she is also a girl and a gamer. Check out one of her videos here.
I hope that these tips and tricks that I picked up and shared with you helps any of you who play these games or if you implement them in other games you enjoy. Until next time; stay safe, wash your hands and don’t touch your face.
