To answer the most common comment: Yes, obviously find the server with the lowest ping. What I meant by saying "a server with 100-150 ping" is that in Squad, unlike other games, you don't need to have 30 ping to have fun or even be competitive. As low as possible is ideal. Under 100 is great. Under 150 is enjoyable. Under 200 is playable. I would choose a 150 ping server with a community I like over one I didn't like but got 50 ping.

I haven't played yet but I want to go to that little marijuana patch at 7:50 lol I'm about to play. This is the only game besides pubg that I've really decided to spend money on in a while
My first game yesterday I joined a squad called "For New Players" and the squad leader spent the entire game keeping us together and teaching us the basics. He was more professional than some people in my actual chain of command in the military.
And remember, your first game you're gonna join an infantry squad, pick the pilot kit, and fly all 10 of the people in your heli into a tree 100m from main base.
I started playing a few days ago with a friend and just now got to try the tutorial. I actually killed myself to reset multiple times before I realized it was scripted to get shot at the end lol
I joined my first game and there were a bunch of squads with 1 person in it, and a couple with 8/9. I kept getting kicked from everysquad i joined, so i made my own so i didn't get kicked for not being in a squad. Within 30 seconds it's a full squad and me being 45 seconds into the game was a squad leader. Now I was a Squad Leader in real life, i know how it works, but here i am on the side of a cliff, not knowing anything about the game just seeing a bunch of people i don't know if they are friendly or not trying to figure the game out. I have no idea what the objectives were or where anything was. Commander not saying anything except complaining about team killing. So anyway. I had no idea what was going on, pretty similar to real life.
Having been an actual squad lead in the infantry, I can definitely say that the command was constantly on the net and you have no idea what you're talking about but hey, you were one in COD right?
Ha 🤣 I joined a squad, but the leader left, so I was next in line. No one wanted the leader role. I was a (not sure if it translated correct) combat medic back in 09 in Helmand, so it felt natural to mech on the guys going down, instead of leading the squad 🤷🏼♂️🤭 I'm not build for leading. Only for chaking charge when people are going down. But it was still fun, and I learned a few thing 🤷🏼♂️
If there was one thing that's most important, its having a mic and using it. Doesn't matter your skill level or how long you've played for. You only need a cheap crappy mic and its all good, the rest will follow.
@@dux3644 playing this game actually improved mine. Was hesitant to buy it at first but im glad I did. Just keep your head down, communicate enemy locations and focus on the objective! Can't go wrong.
Thank you for this. Every time I play I literally get stuck in the woods by myself, have no idea how anything works, and just get randomly killed by an enemy I never saw.
Getting shot by people you can't see is basically a fact of this game, but keep in mind this game isn't about kills unless you can wipe out a whole squad and ensure nobody can get revived. You can reduce being blindsided by trying to always keep in mind which direction the enemy would be coming from based on the locations of the roads and their main base or nearby FOBs. Always remember to look towards the ridges and horizons when outdoors, and doors and corners indoors. It will happen regardless though, there will be times when you're expecting the enemy to come from one way or even shooting at them and another squad or even just a lone guy sneaks up on you and shoots a bunch of your squadmates. The good news is that the lone wolves never really make a difference because of the revival mechanic. It's one of the most team oriented games I've ever played. Eventually it starts to click and you kill a T-72, BMP and a helicopter in the same match as heavy anti-tank, or get 50+ kills in one match as a machinegunner because you defended a point from two squads at the same time
If you get sniped from 3 countries away in a game like this, like you will in every game like this, its not necessarily because you weren't doing your job, but because someone else was doing there's well, there's not much you can do about stuff like that other than scurry around bushes and cover 24/7 like a little rat, it's just a part of the game

@@danter1343 You have probably already figured it out by now but, yes you join the same server as your friends, join the same faction and then create your own squad or join one together.
I bought the game around November 2018 on a good sale. I only played around 4-5 hours or so and then stopped playing since I had other priorities at the time. I remember the SL telling me and some dude to go covert behind a tank under a bridge and blowing it up. I provided the guy ammo for his stuff and I felt really proud for helping. We then snuck up behind enemy lines, crawled prone for like 10 minutes and did some pretty sick parkour to get on top of a shack. We observed for a while as the remaining squad proceeded to ambush from the opposite direction and take out the FOB. Epic stuff, wish I could remember the guy's name. I slowly stopped playing games for a while and kind of forgot Squad, as my Tarkov addiction started. I then got reminded about it since many people I follow started doing streams for the game's launch! I'm thrilled to give the game another shot!
im soo glad this game is getting full release, i paid 15 quid for it back in 2016/17 and iv only played it a little, im finally getting into it now. its a top game.
Just started playing Squad three weeks ago. Loving this game! Everyone plays with a mic, the vast majority of people are super nice and helpful with noob questions, and it's just really fun to play. Appreciate the guides! I watched your AT guide like 3 times, and feel like I'm a well above average shot than most players with any LAT/HAT kit since I know how to range myself and use every scope effectively.
Got my friend to buy squad now that 1.0 released. he now has 15 hours in the game and last night he went 26 and 2 with a rifleman. we enjoy making 5 man fob hunting squads and harrassing the enemies, we both are finnish so w ehave military training an try to use the commando tactics we've been taught there haha.
My first game I played medic, and I think I did really well. Though of course my first game I ran out of field dressing, my team got annihilated by an enemy we couldn't see, and I was hiding behind a thing of hay bleeding out. Ahhhh, good times
Just downloaded squad and played my first game, I just said it was my first time playing and everyone waited for me when I got confused on stuff and they were just really nice, great community, great game, great guide, and of course a great creator.
Literally just played my first game (April 2022). Told my SL I was new, and he said “no worries, don’t worry about shooting anything, just stick with me and we’ll get you up to speed”. Wow. Crazy cool community.
While im still learning the game one my best memories was actually in my first game where the squad lead told me to drive a apc of some sort. ( Not familiar with all the names yet) I was nervous at first but the guy shooting the apc was really nice and talked me trough everything. Still one of the best first impressions i've had in a mulitplayer game
Fun fact most people do not know, if you are a gunner in a MRAP or a vehicle with has mounted MG with cover, looking all the way up makes your guy duck and cover your head. I am fairly sure same works with bipods on guns like MG and marksman. Looking up or left or right will move your character/make them duck so up down pop shots are useful
I have 1.7k hours on squad and even now i can still learn basic things from this video, it applies to everybody, Some real good point here though about not being afraid to ask for help or instructions! Top tier MoiDawg!!
Great video, thank you. I have about 10 hours and 4 kills total, so you got me on the "walk around for an hour not seeing anyone and getting shot a lot." I hardly ever see an enemy, and when I do it takes that split second to IDFoF, and I'm dead. I actually got picked up by my squad leader 6 times in one fight in one room that we were hanging onto waiting for reinforcements, I got one kill the entire game, but knocked 15 times! Very frustrating!!
It’s pretty rough on that point. That’s mostly what’s been happening to me unless I get into close quarters engagements and then I can do decent enough
I would recommend flicking to the map as frequently as possible. That way at any given moment - you have complete situational awareness of your squad, where they're looking, enemy markers and more importantly - where the gaps are in your team's line.
Great video. I give 3 standing orders at the start of every match as squad leader: 1. Stay with your squad. 2. Call out your contacts in local chat. 3. Maintain radio discipline. Keep chatter to local chat and speak one at a time in squad chat.
For people who don't have time to watch the full video and just want to know the basics do and don'ts: 1. Use your microphone and communicate with you squad and nearby teammates. 2. Don't create a squad if you don't intend to lead it. 3. Listen to your squad lead and in some cases fireteam leaders. 4. Don't pick important roles if you don't know how to use them, such as HAT. (This doesn't mean don't ever choose a role you want to learn) 5. When using your mic don't flood the squad radio with unnecessary info and or hot mic. Keep those things to local voip. If I missed anything or you want to ask me about a certain thing in squad feel free to post a comment below :)
I’ve played multiple games and I’m new to a lot of the pc controls. If you just ask someone in the squad what needs to be done and that you’re new. They’re always more than willing to help new players out! Lots of great people to meet on here!
Just bought squad today and the community is the friendliest and most fun to play with I’ve ever seen in any game, as a person with social anxiety and barely speaks to anyone in real life, this helps me a lot mentally too
Meeting a friend irl:😐 Meeting a friend online 😀 Meeting a friend in firefight pinned down by enemy forces and fighting to your last with your final squad mate alive:💂🏼💪🏼😎😈
4:43 What you expect: "Take objective. Sector by sector." What I really got: "Okay squad. We're moving this logi truck North East of Police Station. We will build a Hab then we're going to move in a vector of 237 and then place a rally. Then we're moving in a south direction down that road. We will flank the enemy. Move backwards. Hold objective. Build mortars. Build MG nests. Drive the logi back to base for another resupply. Set up a HAB in this small building that seems to be in the middle of nowhere. Then take their objective and push them back. Ah! What the hell is squad 5 doing?! They're in the wrong position!" I love this game and I've played a bit of Post Scrimtum so I know a little more than completely new players. But if AAS was so straightforward. Lol.
I think an important note for new players is to forget what you know about "other" FPS games. Squad is definitely not like BF or CoD, and the meta is different from even Hell Let Loose for example. To avoid frustration or finding it "boring" you need to understand that it's not about the run and gun and not even about the kills, but quite literally about your squad, communication and working together tightly. Every game I play on Squad in a communicating, well organized squad is amazing regardless of kills or even action sequences. This might seem counterintuitive to new players, but it's just the way it is. Trust me. There's a certain feeling that this game can give you, no other game can. (maybe old Project Reality as well) You can spend an hour walking around, digging HABs and taking a few pot shots at enemies too far away to kill, and then get shot from a bush somewhere, and STILL love that experience. How does that work? Don't know. But just let go of your preconceived notions of FPS games, and let it happen.
Just starting out in the full release, I played early access a while back but I'm a complete noob. Just did about 5 rounds and I 100% agree with you. I had one round where I got 4 kills and made a nice stand, but it was useless in the grand scheme of things. The most fun I had was a different round where our squad leader organized us into building a huge defensive position, which trucks driving back and forth reinforcing. We had mortars, MG nests, a TOW on a roof, and an entire road block of sandbags. We just took pot shots at enemies far away but it was awesome and we held an effective defense for our team to stage out of.
Exactly. Some of my most fun games is when I joined in and the command just asked me to create a Logistics squad and go around refilling HABs and set up new ones.
Tried playing this game for years but could never fully grasp what the hell I was working towards. Thank you SOOOO much for breaking it down in a manner I can fully understand, you have a gift my friend.
Glad it finally has a proper tutorial. I last played a few years ago, back when the BMP was the most heavy hitting vehicle in the game. Most of the game was fairly straight forward... except the squad lead role. At the range, none of the SL functions could be used or accessed. So the only way to learn how to use them was in-game. That sucked, big time. But I had a blast just being a rifleman and trying to be helpful. I was always that guy who would do the logi runs when needed, while the rest of the team was getting into fire fights. Also had fun as a medic, everyone LOVES a good medic. Nothing worse than going down, and the map shows your squad’s medic is being a lone wolf on the other side of the map 🤦♂️
This is a game that will bypass most gamers radar cause of its difficulty but when you truly learn how to play it, its the best shooter available right now. I had 40+ hours of just jumping into games, not understanding where to go, or following someones order into death and it was just not good. But when i stepped back a moment to try and try to learn the different modes and how to behave in a squad it got really really fun. The combat sitautions are so damn intense and when you pull off taking over a flag after intense battles its really a good feeling. That said, i really hope Squad devs put a more advanced tutorial into the game cause its a really confusing game. Just handling the map itself and understanding all the circles, icons can be really confusing.
Nice video Moi! Here’s a few VERY useful extra tips that will improve your gameplay for those that are interested: - Bind your map opening/closing and zoom to your mouse if you can. This massively increases your awareness as you can constantly check your map and close it when threatened. - Talk A LOT about what you hear and what you see. Comms are absolutely key to winning a game, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know what you’re hearing. Mention it and it’ll keep you and your Squad much more effective. - Take note of everything you hear/see in the game. If enemies keep coming from 1 direction, most likely they’ll have a spawn point in that general direction. Visualize where the enemy team is positioned based on your own team’s positioning. - Finally, I gotta reiterate the importance of managing your stamina - it is the best way to get your kill count up!
I play with a mmo mouse, would definitely recommend as you can bind all the important keys to it. I have weapons, bandages, voip channels, and map and still have room for one or two more keys.
@@willquoikapor So there's a few you can use. If you go under the command tab you can bind 'observe' and 'attack' to keys on your mouse - only ones I really use as I just mark and say what's on the mark (BMP, AR, HAB, whatever) if I need to speak fast.
my experience with squad: -watched this video -got in a server called newbies welcome -got in a squad -asked my squad leader what should I do -my squad leader started to make donkey noises then I got kicked out of the server
Can testify, bought the game on Sunday and I've chosen medic for most games, I like steep learning curves and I told my squad I was new but when things got heavy and I was trying to field bandage and use my med kit and throwing stupid smokes.. Oh I'm so glad I bought this game. Had some fun role play moments and team building/meeting random people. Got to say this community is amazing, everyone so helpful.
I made the mistake of creating my own squad when I first started playing. One of my squad mates requested that I promote him to leader, I told him I didn't know how. He impatiently kept repeating himself saying to just pick him from the menu and promote him. I was still alive and didn't know how to do it. Then him and I both got shot and died, which made me feel a little frustrated. When I then was at the spawn screen, I was overwhelmed by everything on my screen but him pressuring me and repeating himself made me feel even more overwhelmed, it took me like maybe 1 minute to find how to do it, but at that point he told everyone he was going to create a different squad in which he and everyone just left. There was no patience at all but I learned from my mistake lol
I used to play "America's Army" back in v2.8.5 and this game looks ridiculously similar in terms of playstyle, cause larger maps were HUGE (for the time) and took lots of teamwork. Even smaller maps like the SF maps were more tactical than run and gun. Downloading this right now lmao
Thanks for this guidance. Jumped in my first couple of games yesterday and Quickly learned a good squad leader makes the game enjoyable. Found myself down a lot and never fired my rifle because I never saw the enemy.
awesome introduction I'm getting ready too start playing for the first time this video was very helpful in persuading me into pulling the trigger and getting into it!!
7:48 This tip is SUPER IMPORTANT. Most of my Squad games as a noob have been bad, and most of those games start out with me getting impatient waiting and just making my own Squad without sufficient experience. Next time I play this game I will make sure to wait for squads to open up. Thanks for the video!
Ive met a lot of really nice and cool people in squad so far. All my squad leaders have been super cool and not pretentious or dumb. I remember being with my SL in a vehicle driving around with another dude just joking around and singing songs on the long drive to the objective. It was fucking fun, and I love squad now
I probably should have spent last night watching this video... but I dove all in yesterday. I learned so much, thankfully all the squads I’ve been on have been accepting. And I found I have a natural ability with the turret gunner position on tanks.
Purchased Squad months ago but haven't been able to give it a try. When COVID started I bought a slew of new games. Squad was one of them. This video is very helpful and now look forward hop in .
I just started, and the thing I struggle with the most is knowing where to go. Even on the game mode that has a preset capture path, it wasn't clear at all to me what that path was by looking at the regular or command map.
I get confused in this game a lot with the commands they give me and stuff but when you spawn try to spawn near your squad and follow where they go so you can be with them and know what’s going on
1:05 -played my first round of squad about 8 months ago. -Announced myself as new -got tasked to do a supply run in the logistics truck. - Hit a mine and die. -Leave server. -Haven't played since
Ive had this game since maybe 2017 but could never get into it as i just felt to intimidated joining a squad in fear of screwing stuff up for the team. Im now reinstalling it after all this time to see not only how far it has come but to see if i can learn the basics and find some people to have some fun with and enjoy the game. So i guess its time to squad up, P.T.F.O and shoot the shit out of some bad guys XD
My first game in Squad was *wild*... I joined a server that had the british flag, because I only speak english and it had a low ping, but everyone there only spoke French. Cool, I said to myself, I guess I can work with this... so I hopped into the back of a truck and went off with some group. We were shot at, but none of us caught a bullet, kept driving for a bit longer and all got off when we were safe. The driver then proceeded to run me over and send me under the map, where I just sat falling down and down and down until I eventually died and then quit. Fun times, can't wait to play again tomorrow :)
I just bought the game and one of my first games I hopped in and managed to score the marksman role. The difference between people chirping you on this game and people chirping you on MW2 lobbies back in the day is these guys are actually pretty clever and smart with the chirps and come backs lol. None the less I had a great game with all of them.
I just started this game with my friend and we're both having massive trouble telling friendlies from enemies. Its got to a point where I won't even fire until I've seen the blue name. Especially struggling when its Canada and Russia
Yep some maps are definitely harder than other. Key is map awareness! Always use the caps lock map I find best and have a good idea where friendlies arare heading in - and have that finger trigger ready. Friendly fire happens. Just let the server it was unintentional!
If you’re down there with your buddy have a spotter, you can easily see the helmet with binocs (no matter the team every helmet in the game is different)
great vid. i first played this game at release, and now 2021 its way different, with most players knowing exactly what theyre doing. its a really good game that fully makes up for its name
I played the turtorial and shooting range for HOUS before I joined for the first time. Then played a lot, even though I struggled with the heaviest technical problems due to my weak laptop I was playing on. And still I had the most memorizable situations of my gaming-livetime in Squad. But instead of being a squadmember who is allowed to learn, I almost ALWAYS was forced to be leader (because all other squads were closed, full or everybody else was waiting for anyone to start a new, or did it themselfes and quitted on the lead instandly) and I tried my very best, but it was stressfull and it wetened my t-shirt every match... ppl wouldn't listen, just joined, ran away doing their assasin's crap.
I have 80 hrs in squad from all the way back in 2016, and I love it, but I have yet to experience what vehicle gameplay is like, so I was hoping to ask, if I want to play a vehicle how should I start?
Generally, You have to join a separate vehicle squad, and only certain vehicle operator classes can use vehicles. The more common trucks are general use, I think. Just do the regular squad stuff with vehicles first before u try to specialize.
Well, I did play a match as riflemen and.... - I got killed like 6-7 times -I saw only one enemy by the end of the round after 40 minutes of gameplay -I digged a lot, I'm what you might call " a pro digger" We lost 0:117 =[
I’m new but but a tip I have, if your team is taking fire and you need to revive friendlies pop smoke and drag them to a safe area, don’t try to revive them in the line of fire.
This was a very good overview. I had played squad back when it had first been in early access but then took a 2 year break and im just getting back into it. This was very helpful for getting back into it.
Just recently got squad and immediately sunk 5 hours in. I'm not new to fps and tactical based movement but there is a learning curve. The sounds are SOOO good its ridiculous, you'll never be able to play another game I play on playground 2 mostly
As a Squad lead I always encourage questions if you are new (usually in local chat if possible to avoid cluttering squad comms), an SL is there to help you to help the team. Even had to translate from English to Spanish to help out a fellow Spanish speaker once :) Don't be upset if your squad lead isn't too friendly or helpful either, kind of like a bad manager, just leave and find a new one if you can.
Also don't just blame your squad lead if they don't answer your questions or seem like they blow you off. They have a lot to deal with and with command chat they might not have even heard your question. Find a friendly enough teammate and ask him if he isn't too busy either.
@@mikerobbens good one too, get that alot where people expect an answer immediately while im driving the truck, being an SL, have the map open and sometimes being the commander too...
Thank you for uploading this video! I watched this before jumping into my first few games of Squad, and it helped understand a lot of what was going on, and allowed me to learn more during the game as well.
I have played about 100 hours of squad and really enjoying it. Just wanted to say thanks for the upload. Long playing Arma fan. Made up I got Squad. It brings a different feel to the tactical Simulator game. Great video. cheers
I've been playing for sometime. I play it for fun, sometimes I'm doing good, at times I'm a nobody. Im still having difficulty discerning where an enemy shooter is firing from. I have to learn more as I play. I'm just using a G14 ROG and doesn't have an external display. I think most of the good players are using bigger screens and are able to spot enemies easily. Thank you for the videos and sharing your knowledge to newbies like me.
Very helpful video. Wasn't aware that losing a radio or vehicle costs tickets. Still watching videos and "play" on the training server before starting my first noob round
I have seriously been considering purchasing this game. Your video really helps in understanding the game. It may be the video which causes me to actually purchase the game instead of leaving it in my cart.
First time I played Squad was at the end of 2017 (December 31st) The teammates were really nice to me for the whole time and even matches after that The only time I got insulted was when an American guy found out I'm a Vietnamese, and he started bluffing about his father and grandfather might have killed mine (my dad is still alive and well btw)
There are some folks that don’t realize that Squad is a game, and not a place to be a piece of shit to others because they got bullied in middle school.
Just started playing, and it’s hard to tell the teams apart when they have similar uniforms. If it’s like insurgents vs aussies that shits easy but like… marines vs frenchman, on the map with the close quarters sand colored buildings, you may as well ask me to put on a blindfold
To answer the most common comment: Yes, obviously find the server with the lowest ping. What I meant by saying "a server with 100-150 ping" is that in Squad, unlike other games, you don't need to have 30 ping to have fun or even be competitive.
As low as possible is ideal.
Under 100 is great.
Under 150 is enjoyable.
Under 200 is playable.
I would choose a 150 ping server with a community I like over one I didn't like but got 50 ping.

Lol the lowest ping server I can find is always like 90 ping it higher anyways
I haven't played yet but I want to go to that little marijuana patch at 7:50 lol
I'm about to play. This is the only game besides pubg that I've really decided to spend money on in a while
@@ricknavarro8181 I use to play always with 200 - 230 ping and it's fine
My first game yesterday I joined a squad called "For New Players" and the squad leader spent the entire game keeping us together and teaching us the basics. He was more professional than some people in my actual chain of command in the military.
Preeech
it's truly amazing when games have communities like this
bruh downloading rn lolol
Sounds like a pretty solid fellow to do that.
I envy you.. i just left a match being called a console boy and being yelled at for being new...
And remember, your first game you're gonna join an infantry squad, pick the pilot kit, and fly all 10 of the people in your heli into a tree 100m from main base.
The meta has changed to loading your logi exclusively with ammo and driving straight to the enemy’s first flag
like 80 % player in Arma 3 XD
100 meters??? You are giving me way too much credit sir!
i plan on getting squad soon and on my first game i will do this
This is the way
Another tip: try not to keep calling medic when you're down. Enemies can hear you and basically tells them that "there's more enemies near there"
I do this to scare enemies when I know no one is coming for me

When you get in a real game it changes to more like "Everybody gangsta til ENEMY ARMOR SPOTTED"
My ears tho omfg
I started playing a few days ago with a friend and just now got to try the tutorial. I actually killed myself to reset multiple times before I realized it was scripted to get shot at the end lol
Bro i jumped so high when that went down haha
Lamp I went through it my first time last night. I almost shitted myself 😂
I joined my first game and there were a bunch of squads with 1 person in it, and a couple with 8/9. I kept getting kicked from everysquad i joined, so i made my own so i didn't get kicked for not being in a squad. Within 30 seconds it's a full squad and me being 45 seconds into the game was a squad leader. Now I was a Squad Leader in real life, i know how it works, but here i am on the side of a cliff, not knowing anything about the game just seeing a bunch of people i don't know if they are friendly or not trying to figure the game out. I have no idea what the objectives were or where anything was. Commander not saying anything except complaining about team killing. So anyway. I had no idea what was going on, pretty similar to real life.
Having been an actual squad lead in the infantry, I can definitely say that the command was constantly on the net and you have no idea what you're talking about but hey, you were one in COD right?
You were team killing IRL too? damn lol
Have u actually Tk someone in real life?
Ha 🤣 I joined a squad, but the leader left, so I was next in line. No one wanted the leader role.
I was a (not sure if it translated correct) combat medic back in 09 in Helmand, so it felt natural to mech on the guys going down, instead of leading the squad 🤷🏼♂️🤭
I'm not build for leading. Only for chaking charge when people are going down.
But it was still fun, and I learned a few thing 🤷🏼♂️
@@InitialFailure He was talking about the experience he had in game. People like you are why I'm getting out.
If there was one thing that's most important, its having a mic and using it. Doesn't matter your skill level or how long you've played for. You only need a cheap crappy mic and its all good, the rest will follow.
Agree I hate players without mics usually they don't listen.
I need to work in my social anxiety lol
@@dux3644 true, I have a mic and I love playing games like this. But my social anxiety stops me every time.
@@dux3644 playing this game actually improved mine. Was hesitant to buy it at first but im glad I did. Just keep your head down, communicate enemy locations and focus on the objective! Can't go wrong.
I totally agree with this! Games where people don't use their mics are so boring and ruins the whole game as a whole
Who here is pretty much a squad veteran, and still enjoys watching this.
I watch EVERY MoiDawg video! :)
I am
me too, almost 3000 hours experience here
same here!
2k hours here
I've been playing on Squad since the kickstarter and even I didn't know the radio cost tickets. See, the video is useful for all people.
Keith Davis yeah, I came right after the kickstarter. Didnt play it much and now recently getting into it
Thank you for this. Every time I play I literally get stuck in the woods by myself, have no idea how anything works, and just get randomly killed by an enemy I never saw.
Same here bro, i asked for help but they told me to complete tutorial which i have completed about 3 times
Yes I can't see enemies and shot by them I never see
Getting shot by people you can't see is basically a fact of this game, but keep in mind this game isn't about kills unless you can wipe out a whole squad and ensure nobody can get revived. You can reduce being blindsided by trying to always keep in mind which direction the enemy would be coming from based on the locations of the roads and their main base or nearby FOBs. Always remember to look towards the ridges and horizons when outdoors, and doors and corners indoors. It will happen regardless though, there will be times when you're expecting the enemy to come from one way or even shooting at them and another squad or even just a lone guy sneaks up on you and shoots a bunch of your squadmates. The good news is that the lone wolves never really make a difference because of the revival mechanic. It's one of the most team oriented games I've ever played. Eventually it starts to click and you kill a T-72, BMP and a helicopter in the same match as heavy anti-tank, or get 50+ kills in one match as a machinegunner because you defended a point from two squads at the same time
If you get sniped from 3 countries away in a game like this, like you will in every game like this, its not necessarily because you weren't doing your job, but because someone else was doing there's well, there's not much you can do about stuff like that other than scurry around bushes and cover 24/7 like a little rat, it's just a part of the game

can i join my friends in the lobby or do we join the same server and just join the same squad
@@danter1343 You have probably already figured it out by now but, yes you join the same server as your friends, join the same faction and then create your own squad or join one together.
You're a legend.
I bought the game around November 2018 on a good sale. I only played around 4-5 hours or so and then stopped playing since I had other priorities at the time. I remember the SL telling me and some dude to go covert behind a tank under a bridge and blowing it up. I provided the guy ammo for his stuff and I felt really proud for helping. We then snuck up behind enemy lines, crawled prone for like 10 minutes and did some pretty sick parkour to get on top of a shack. We observed for a while as the remaining squad proceeded to ambush from the opposite direction and take out the FOB. Epic stuff, wish I could remember the guy's name. I slowly stopped playing games for a while and kind of forgot Squad, as my Tarkov addiction started. I then got reminded about it since many people I follow started doing streams for the game's launch! I'm thrilled to give the game another shot!
im soo glad this game is getting full release, i paid 15 quid for it back in 2016/17 and iv only played it a little, im finally getting into it now. its a top game.
Got it on sale about 18 months ago, it's been probably the best value game I've bought in a long time. Kind of wish I'd paid full price
Yeah I’ve put 20 hours in, I think it was beta 8 or whatever they called them. Keen to finally play it properly.
15 squids and a couple of mike pence
Just saying, I have been playing this game for more than 1000hr, and I forgot that you can aim your grenades with thumb method hahahha.
You must have been on brain aim mode that entire time then.
@@BeanMann I mean, I still hitted them all
What u guys mean ?
Project reality
Lol
Just started playing Squad three weeks ago. Loving this game! Everyone plays with a mic, the vast majority of people are super nice and helpful with noob questions, and it's just really fun to play.
Appreciate the guides! I watched your AT guide like 3 times, and feel like I'm a well above average shot than most players with any LAT/HAT kit since I know how to range myself and use every scope effectively.
Just wanted to ask, what are your specs? I am trying build a pc and I would like to know some specs
@@kurtholter4721 lol I'm thinking of doing the same brother, don't know where to start
@@kurtholter4721 I got da R5 2600 and 6700 XT and play on high butter smooth. You can't go wrong with a 6700XT or its NVIDIA equivalent
Got my friend to buy squad now that 1.0 released. he now has 15 hours in the game and last night he went 26 and 2 with a rifleman. we enjoy making 5 man fob hunting squads and harrassing the enemies, we both are finnish so w ehave military training an try to use the commando tactics we've been taught there haha.
A wise man once said "Attack Flag".
Thats all you need to know!
My first game I played medic, and I think I did really well. Though of course my first game I ran out of field dressing, my team got annihilated by an enemy we couldn't see, and I was hiding behind a thing of hay bleeding out. Ahhhh, good times
Just downloaded squad and played my first game, I just said it was my first time playing and everyone waited for me when I got confused on stuff and they were just really nice, great community, great game, great guide, and of course a great creator.
Literally just played my first game (April 2022). Told my SL I was new, and he said “no worries, don’t worry about shooting anything, just stick with me and we’ll get you up to speed”. Wow. Crazy cool community.
While im still learning the game one my best memories was actually in my first game where the squad lead told me to drive a apc of some sort. ( Not familiar with all the names yet) I was nervous at first but the guy shooting the apc was really nice and talked me trough everything. Still one of the best first impressions i've had in a mulitplayer game
Fun fact most people do not know, if you are a gunner in a MRAP or a vehicle with has mounted MG with cover, looking all the way up makes your guy duck and cover your head. I am fairly sure same works with bipods on guns like MG and marksman. Looking up or left or right will move your character/make them duck so up down pop shots are useful
I have 1.7k hours on squad and even now i can still learn basic things from this video, it applies to everybody,
Some real good point here though about not being afraid to ask for help or instructions!
Top tier MoiDawg!!
that last scene with the two LAVs rolling up looks insane!
Also.. . don't forget to remind squad leader to drop a rally.... every 20 seconds.
Oh god.
"Hey SL, can you give me FTL so I can range?" -Marksman dude who is going to get three incaps and a kill in a two hour game.
"hey can get ammo box here"
lmao just like in post scriptum too
you know that rally needs resupply now, that well, remind him for sure, but not every 20secs
Great video, thank you. I have about 10 hours and 4 kills total, so you got me on the "walk around for an hour not seeing anyone and getting shot a lot." I hardly ever see an enemy, and when I do it takes that split second to IDFoF, and I'm dead. I actually got picked up by my squad leader 6 times in one fight in one room that we were hanging onto waiting for reinforcements, I got one kill the entire game, but knocked 15 times! Very frustrating!!
It’s pretty rough on that point. That’s mostly what’s been happening to me unless I get into close quarters engagements and then I can do decent enough
I would recommend flicking to the map as frequently as possible.
That way at any given moment - you have complete situational awareness of your squad, where they're looking, enemy markers and more importantly - where the gaps are in your team's line.
This
also binding map to mouse4 or mouse5 if you have extra mouse buttons!
Great video. I give 3 standing orders at the start of every match as squad leader: 1. Stay with your squad. 2. Call out your contacts in local chat. 3. Maintain radio discipline. Keep chatter to local chat and speak one at a time in squad chat.
For people who don't have time to watch the full video and just want to know the basics do and don'ts:
1. Use your microphone and communicate with you squad and nearby teammates.
2. Don't create a squad if you don't intend to lead it.
3. Listen to your squad lead and in some cases fireteam leaders.
4. Don't pick important roles if you don't know how to use them, such as HAT. (This doesn't mean don't ever choose a role you want to learn)
5. When using your mic don't flood the squad radio with unnecessary info and or hot mic. Keep those things to local voip.
If I missed anything or you want to ask me about a certain thing in squad feel free to post a comment below :)
I’ve played multiple games and I’m new to a lot of the pc controls. If you just ask someone in the squad what needs to be done and that you’re new. They’re always more than willing to help new players out! Lots of great people to meet on here!
im almost 100 hours deep.... and still learning the ropes. This is a great video!
Just bought squad today and the community is the friendliest and most fun to play with I’ve ever seen in any game, as a person with social anxiety and barely speaks to anyone in real life, this helps me a lot mentally too
Meeting a friend irl:😐
Meeting a friend online 😀
Meeting a friend in firefight pinned down by enemy forces and fighting to your last with your final squad mate alive:💂🏼💪🏼😎😈
I just bought squad to play with my son really appreciate this guide. We both love the game.
4:43
What you expect: "Take objective. Sector by sector."
What I really got: "Okay squad. We're moving this logi truck North East of Police Station. We will build a Hab then we're going to move in a vector of 237 and then place a rally. Then we're moving in a south direction down that road. We will flank the enemy. Move backwards. Hold objective. Build mortars. Build MG nests. Drive the logi back to base for another resupply. Set up a HAB in this small building that seems to be in the middle of nowhere. Then take their objective and push them back. Ah! What the hell is squad 5 doing?! They're in the wrong position!"
I love this game and I've played a bit of Post Scrimtum so I know a little more than completely new players. But if AAS was so straightforward. Lol.
I think an important note for new players is to forget what you know about "other" FPS games. Squad is definitely not like BF or CoD, and the meta is different from even Hell Let Loose for example. To avoid frustration or finding it "boring" you need to understand that it's not about the run and gun and not even about the kills, but quite literally about your squad, communication and working together tightly.
Every game I play on Squad in a communicating, well organized squad is amazing regardless of kills or even action sequences. This might seem counterintuitive to new players, but it's just the way it is. Trust me. There's a certain feeling that this game can give you, no other game can. (maybe old Project Reality as well)
You can spend an hour walking around, digging HABs and taking a few pot shots at enemies too far away to kill, and then get shot from a bush somewhere, and STILL love that experience. How does that work? Don't know. But just let go of your preconceived notions of FPS games, and let it happen.
Just starting out in the full release, I played early access a while back but I'm a complete noob. Just did about 5 rounds and I 100% agree with you. I had one round where I got 4 kills and made a nice stand, but it was useless in the grand scheme of things. The most fun I had was a different round where our squad leader organized us into building a huge defensive position, which trucks driving back and forth reinforcing. We had mortars, MG nests, a TOW on a roof, and an entire road block of sandbags. We just took pot shots at enemies far away but it was awesome and we held an effective defense for our team to stage out of.
Exactly. Some of my most fun games is when I joined in and the command just asked me to create a Logistics squad and go around refilling HABs and set up new ones.
I’ve been playing Squad for over 4 years and this is the best damn tutorial for a noob or veteran to refresh his memory. Liked and Subscribed sir!
Coming from an Arma background and seeing what Squad was 4 years ago, it looks awesome now! Going to jump in with both feet :)
Tried playing this game for years but could never fully grasp what the hell I was working towards. Thank you SOOOO much for breaking it down in a manner I can fully understand, you have a gift my friend.
Glad it finally has a proper tutorial. I last played a few years ago, back when the BMP was the most heavy hitting vehicle in the game. Most of the game was fairly straight forward... except the squad lead role. At the range, none of the SL functions could be used or accessed. So the only way to learn how to use them was in-game. That sucked, big time.
But I had a blast just being a rifleman and trying to be helpful. I was always that guy who would do the logi runs when needed, while the rest of the team was getting into fire fights. Also had fun as a medic, everyone LOVES a good medic. Nothing worse than going down, and the map shows your squad’s medic is being a lone wolf on the other side of the map 🤦♂️
I have 5 hours in-game, and I have taken down one enemy...
But man I love it.
The slower pace remind me of my Afghanistan days.
This is a game that will bypass most gamers radar cause of its difficulty but when you truly learn how to play it, its the best shooter available right now. I had 40+ hours of just jumping into games, not understanding where to go, or following someones order into death and it was just not good. But when i stepped back a moment to try and try to learn the different modes and how to behave in a squad it got really really fun. The combat sitautions are so damn intense and when you pull off taking over a flag after intense battles its really a good feeling. That said, i really hope Squad devs put a more advanced tutorial into the game cause its a really confusing game. Just handling the map itself and understanding all the circles, icons can be really confusing.
Nice video Moi!
Here’s a few VERY useful extra tips that will improve your gameplay for those that are interested:
- Bind your map opening/closing and zoom to your mouse if you can. This massively increases your awareness as you can constantly check your map and close it when threatened.
- Talk A LOT about what you hear and what you see. Comms are absolutely key to winning a game, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know what you’re hearing. Mention it and it’ll keep you and your Squad much more effective.
- Take note of everything you hear/see in the game. If enemies keep coming from 1 direction, most likely they’ll have a spawn point in that general direction. Visualize where the enemy team is positioned based on your own team’s positioning.
- Finally, I gotta reiterate the importance of managing your stamina - it is the best way to get your kill count up!
I play with a mmo mouse, would definitely recommend as you can bind all the important keys to it. I have weapons, bandages, voip channels, and map and still have room for one or two more keys.
Will Quoikapor Exactly! I got map markers bind to my mouse too, so can mark things immediately
Mercer I’ve been meaning to do that, but can’t find the right key. Which one is it in settings
@@willquoikapor So there's a few you can use. If you go under the command tab you can bind 'observe' and 'attack' to keys on your mouse - only ones I really use as I just mark and say what's on the mark (BMP, AR, HAB, whatever) if I need to speak fast.
my experience with squad:
-watched this video
-got in a server called newbies welcome
-got in a squad
-asked my squad leader what should I do
-my squad leader started to make donkey noises then I got kicked out of the server
LOL
Can testify, bought the game on Sunday and I've chosen medic for most games, I like steep learning curves and I told my squad I was new but when things got heavy and I was trying to field bandage and use my med kit and throwing stupid smokes.. Oh I'm so glad I bought this game. Had some fun role play moments and team building/meeting random people. Got to say this community is amazing, everyone so helpful.
That’s it. I’m sold. I love not everyone can have a sniper. The ticket system is great. Better than BF. Not getting to spawn right on your squad.
I made the mistake of creating my own squad when I first started playing. One of my squad mates requested that I promote him to leader, I told him I didn't know how. He impatiently kept repeating himself saying to just pick him from the menu and promote him. I was still alive and didn't know how to do it. Then him and I both got shot and died, which made me feel a little frustrated. When I then was at the spawn screen, I was overwhelmed by everything on my screen but him pressuring me and repeating himself made me feel even more overwhelmed, it took me like maybe 1 minute to find how to do it, but at that point he told everyone he was going to create a different squad in which he and everyone just left. There was no patience at all but I learned from my mistake lol
The store is a GO. Pick up Squad, Hell Let Loose and more while supporting the channel at moidawg.gg
I used to play "America's Army" back in v2.8.5 and this game looks ridiculously similar in terms of playstyle, cause larger maps were HUGE (for the time) and took lots of teamwork.
Even smaller maps like the SF maps were more tactical than run and gun.
Downloading this right now lmao
This was brilliant, even for someone with some hours in the game I learned a lot!
Thanks for uploading!
Thanks for this guidance. Jumped in my first couple of games yesterday and Quickly learned a good squad leader makes the game enjoyable. Found myself down a lot and never fired my rifle because I never saw the enemy.
awesome introduction I'm getting ready too start playing for the first time this video was very helpful in persuading me into pulling the trigger and getting into it!!
7:48 This tip is SUPER IMPORTANT. Most of my Squad games as a noob have been bad, and most of those games start out with me getting impatient waiting and just making my own Squad without sufficient experience. Next time I play this game I will make sure to wait for squads to open up.
Thanks for the video!
MoiGod dropping the hot knowledge for 1.0 --
Ive met a lot of really nice and cool people in squad so far. All my squad leaders have been super cool and not pretentious or dumb. I remember being with my SL in a vehicle driving around with another dude just joking around and singing songs on the long drive to the objective. It was fucking fun, and I love squad now
Downloading now, thank you for a great introduction to Squad :)
1 ticket wins are some of my favorite
I'm only watching to hear him tell us that he streams a LOT of squad on twitch
At tWiTcH dOt Tv sLaSH mOiDAwG
I probably should have spent last night watching this video... but I dove all in yesterday. I learned so much, thankfully all the squads I’ve been on have been accepting. And I found I have a natural ability with the turret gunner position on tanks.
why did i click on this? i have almost 1100 hrs. just release the damn update already owi
Purchased Squad months ago but haven't been able to give it a try. When COVID started I bought a slew of new games. Squad was one of them. This video is very helpful and now look forward hop in .
I just started, and the thing I struggle with the most is knowing where to go. Even on the game mode that has a preset capture path, it wasn't clear at all to me what that path was by looking at the regular or command map.
If you don’t know where to go or spawn don’t be afraid to ask your squad lead
I get confused in this game a lot with the commands they give me and stuff but when you spawn try to spawn near your squad and follow where they go so you can be with them and know what’s going on

Ive had this game since maybe 2017 but could never get into it as i just felt to intimidated joining a squad in fear of screwing stuff up for the team. Im now reinstalling it after all this time to see not only how far it has come but to see if i can learn the basics and find some people to have some fun with and enjoy the game. So i guess its time to squad up, P.T.F.O and shoot the shit out of some bad guys XD
My first game in Squad was *wild*... I joined a server that had the british flag, because I only speak english and it had a low ping, but everyone there only spoke French.
Cool, I said to myself, I guess I can work with this... so I hopped into the back of a truck and went off with some group.
We were shot at, but none of us caught a bullet, kept driving for a bit longer and all got off when we were safe.
The driver then proceeded to run me over and send me under the map, where I just sat falling down and down and down until I eventually died and then quit.
Fun times, can't wait to play again tomorrow :)
My second game I got 3 kills with mortar callouts! This game is great. I went 3 - 0
I just bought the game and one of my first games I hopped in and managed to score the marksman role. The difference between people chirping you on this game and people chirping you on MW2 lobbies back in the day is these guys are actually pretty clever and smart with the chirps and come backs lol. None the less I had a great game with all of them.
is there a discord that i can join, I'm still a newbie and wants to learn
Finally a good video for this game
No other content creators even said what thr point of the game or how to play
I just started this game with my friend and we're both having massive trouble telling friendlies from enemies. Its got to a point where I won't even fire until I've seen the blue name. Especially struggling when its Canada and Russia
Yep some maps are definitely harder than other. Key is map awareness! Always use the caps lock map I find best and have a good idea where friendlies arare heading in - and have that finger trigger ready. Friendly fire happens. Just let the server it was unintentional!
If you’re down there with your buddy have a spotter, you can easily see the helmet with binocs (no matter the team every helmet in the game is different)
great vid. i first played this game at release, and now 2021 its way different, with most players knowing exactly what theyre doing. its a really good game that fully makes up for its name
This video is basically virtual boot camp.
Have you been in the military?
@Habu93 lol u dont know shit about bootcamp
@@skysk3l3t0n I really don't. I don't even remember why I said this.
I played the turtorial and shooting range for HOUS before I joined for the first time. Then played a lot, even though I struggled with the heaviest technical problems due to my weak laptop I was playing on. And still I had the most memorizable situations of my gaming-livetime in Squad.
But instead of being a squadmember who is allowed to learn, I almost ALWAYS was forced to be leader (because all other squads were closed, full or everybody else was waiting for anyone to start a new, or did it themselfes and quitted on the lead instandly) and I tried my very best, but it was stressfull and it wetened my t-shirt every match... ppl wouldn't listen, just joined, ran away doing their assasin's crap.
I have 80 hrs in squad from all the way back in 2016, and I love it, but I have yet to experience what vehicle gameplay is like, so I was hoping to ask, if I want to play a vehicle how should I start?
Generally, You have to join a separate vehicle squad, and only certain vehicle operator classes can use vehicles. The more common trucks are general use, I think. Just do the regular squad stuff with vehicles first before u try to specialize.
Hold E to start (engine).
One of the big challenge for me as a new players is the disguise who is friendly and who is enemies since uniform are some what similar to each other.
Well, I did play a match as riflemen and....
- I got killed like 6-7 times
-I saw only one enemy by the end of the round after 40 minutes of gameplay
-I digged a lot, I'm what you might call " a pro digger"
We lost 0:117 =[
I’m new but but a tip I have, if your team is taking fire and you need to revive friendlies pop smoke and drag them to a safe area, don’t try to revive them in the line of fire.
How tf do i join my friend server lmfao. Been looking at the homescreen for 30 min
ask him what server he's in and search it in the server browser

This was a very good overview. I had played squad back when it had first been in early access but then took a 2 year break and im just getting back into it. This was very helpful for getting back into it.
Just recently got squad and immediately sunk 5 hours in. I'm not new to fps and tactical based movement but there is a learning curve. The sounds are SOOO good its ridiculous, you'll never be able to play another game
I play on playground 2 mostly
As a Squad lead I always encourage questions if you are new (usually in local chat if possible to avoid cluttering squad comms), an SL is there to help you to help the team. Even had to translate from English to Spanish to help out a fellow Spanish speaker once :)
Don't be upset if your squad lead isn't too friendly or helpful either, kind of like a bad manager, just leave and find a new one if you can.
Also don't just blame your squad lead if they don't answer your questions or seem like they blow you off. They have a lot to deal with and with command chat they might not have even heard your question. Find a friendly enough teammate and ask him if he isn't too busy either.
@@mikerobbens good one too, get that alot where people expect an answer immediately while im driving the truck, being an SL, have the map open and sometimes being the commander too...
Thank you for uploading this video! I watched this before jumping into my first few games of Squad, and it helped understand a lot of what was going on, and allowed me to learn more during the game as well.
I have played about 100 hours of squad and really enjoying it. Just wanted to say thanks for the upload. Long playing Arma fan. Made up I got Squad. It brings a different feel to the tactical Simulator game. Great video. cheers
I just started over the pst weekend. The squad community is amazing.
Just recently built my first pc, and can't wait to try this i loved how realistic the guns look and sound , wish me luck

I've been playing for sometime. I play it for fun, sometimes I'm doing good, at times I'm a nobody. Im still having difficulty discerning where an enemy shooter is firing from. I have to learn more as I play. I'm just using a G14 ROG and doesn't have an external display. I think most of the good players are using bigger screens and are able to spot enemies easily. Thank you for the videos and sharing your knowledge to newbies like me.
As a Squad Vet, this is like the best beginner tutorial i saw so far, gj
Played my first game yesterday and holy shit I was so lost lol glad to see there’s guys willing to help new players out.
Very helpful video. Wasn't aware that losing a radio or vehicle costs tickets. Still watching videos and "play" on the training server before starting my first noob round
I have seriously been considering purchasing this game. Your video really helps in understanding the game. It may be the video which causes me to actually purchase the game instead of leaving it in my cart.
Pls continue we also need an advanced guide when you finish the basics
First time I played Squad was at the end of 2017 (December 31st)
The teammates were really nice to me for the whole time and even matches after that
The only time I got insulted was when an American guy found out I'm a Vietnamese, and he started bluffing about his father and grandfather might have killed mine (my dad is still alive and well btw)
There are some folks that don’t realize that Squad is a game, and not a place to be a piece of shit to others because they got bullied in middle school.
I'm a new player coming from HLL and PS, getting ready for my first match. This looks so amazing! Great video.
Joshua C how did it go?
@@chantalsteel135 it's certainty more involved but similar enough to the other games. Luckily had a SL who actually organised us which helped a lot.
The more new player guides the better!
Great work
Everyone loves Squad (those who play it) But it seems like noone knows how to play it. Thank you for your lesson.
Great timing with the sale mate! Gonna try to lead the new guys best I can
Lee Raines u Aussie? If so, play on ZSU, and if you find “Trojan” play with him. He is a BLOODY LEGEND
@@chantalsteel135 I'm American but I'll keep an eye out
squad, intimidating? after my first hour or so of gameplay i realized how dang nice the community is.
I just started playing. I love the community, had good laughs last night. Helped me forget my depression for a little while
This was a good video to watch man. you seem like an honest guy, thats why i follow u on twitch aswell
Just started playing, and it’s hard to tell the teams apart when they have similar uniforms. If it’s like insurgents vs aussies that shits easy but like… marines vs frenchman, on the map with the close quarters sand colored buildings, you may as well ask me to put on a blindfold
