- Read the legendary **beginner guide** at https://xonotic.org/guide/.
|
||||
- Point'n'click enemies to win.
|
||||
- **Do NOT fucking spam electro** -- this will make you instantly hated, and rightfully so. Not only is it lame, annoying, makes you easy to kill (opponent can explode your electro balls), enforces more use of electro (electro is countered with electro) and makes the game lag, it can also hurt your teammates, even in no self/team damage modes (as opponents may explode the electro you spray around). Use it appropriately.
|
||||
- **Learn the weapons and make binds for each one**: learn what every weapons does (good mode for this might be clan arena in which you have all the weapons from the start), bind each one around the movement keys -- it's essential you can switch weapons quickly as the game is designed to reward comboing (the most basic combo is devastator/vortex/mortar). Also note that almost every weapon has a **secondary fire**, for example crylink's primary fire just shoots bouncing balls while the secondary fire shoots a suction ball that can toss enemies out of the map or can be used to accelerate yourself. With devastator (rocket launcher) holding left mouse button allows **guiding the rocket**, right mouse button explodes the rocket in air -- learn this! Then you can easily kill enemies behind corners or flying in air.

|

- **Learn the movement**: movement is essential in Xonotic, firstly you should learn extremely basic techniques like bunnyhopping, strafe jumping and in-air controls, and secondly you should learn using weapons for movement (blaster jumps, rocket jumps, crylinkg for acceleration and climbing walls, ...). This is important not only for quick relocation, taking shortcuts, dodging enemy fire and quickly running away from enemies, it also saves you from countless deaths by falling into pits.
|
||||
- **Console**: console is extremely useful in Xonotic; not only can it modify almost any aspect of the game, it also allows you to create fun macros (some people even create what could be considered [cheats](cheating.md) only with the console commands). A very important command is `search x` which will search for other commands and cvars, e.g. if you want to mess with resolution, do `search resolution` etc. There is even a small **stack-based minilanguage** in the console that's invoked with the `rpn` command -- this allows for very advanced stuff. Sadly this isn't well documented, but the thread at https://forums.xonotic.org/showthread.php?tid=2987 provides some basics.
|
||||
- **Make cool binds**, for example you should modify the standard team messages to something more funny. One of the most basic binds is **taunt** so that you can insult players (e.g. `bind KP_SLASH "cmd voice taunt"`).

|
|||
- **Do NOT camp**, it's retarded and wastes other people's time, especially e.g. in clan arena where dead people have to wait for the end of round. Better lose quickly than win or draw by camping.
|
||||
- **Explosions (and bullets) go through thin walls** by default, so you can e.g. kill someone hiding in the room above you by shooting the ceiling. Very cool.
|
||||
- **Don't stand at teleport exits**, so as to not get telefragged.
|
||||
- A quick way to tell how good someone is is the damage deal to damage taken ratio -- once you deal more damage than take, you seize to be a complete noob. When you deal twice as much damage as you take, you are probably reaching a pro level. Of course, this also depends on opponents, mode you play etc., take this just as a quick estimate.
|
||||
- If you're not doing well, complain about [lag](lag.md).
|
||||
- **You can turn off the chat** in case there is some retarded conversation going on (just go to setting and HUD editor).
|
||||
- **Slap opponents to humiliate them**: the shotgun secondary fire is a melee slap, which is the best way to kill someone, partly because it's pretty hard to do (there's a delay before the bash). Another humiliating way to eliminate opponents is to kill them with Hagar secondary or push them off the map with blaster, crylink or even Mario kill (very rare -- you jump on someone's head while he's jumping over a pit which makes him fall down). Don't forget to taunt and [teabag](teabag.md).

- Piss people off with **troll votes**: study the `vcall` console command (see `vhelp`), it allows for calling votes on specific things like switching maps, kicking players etc. Some votes allow a parameter string so that you can make a funny message with it, e.g. `vcall bots play better than player X`. Due to weird code numbers can be specified with almost arbitrary number of leading zeros, so you can just call a vote to set fraglimit to 1 with 100 leading zeros to spam people's screen and confuse them. Where enabled, `vcall grunt` will try to turn on grunt sound that many players hate. If you want to leave, a fancy way to do it is to call a vote to kick yourself.
|
||||
- The game outputs chat into terminal, you can filter these messages out and redirect them to [espeak](espeak.md) for a fun experience :)
|
||||
- **Electro spammers are easy to kill**: when someone is raping electro and just spraying everything, simply shoot at him with electro primary fire -- this explodes the balls he's spamming and hits him AND his teammates with huge damage. Don't forget to teabag and taunt him once he's dead.

- Buy premium account for extra skins and [lootboxes](lootbox.md). Just kidding :)
|
||||
- Don't [ragequit](ragequit.md), you'll give your opponent the ultimate satisfaction. Making someone ragequit is better than just [raping](rape.md) him.
|

- If someone admits to be playing on [Window$](windows.md), just hardocre bully camp that bastard out of the server.

- If you want to win in a team game and your team is losing, just quickly switch to the winning team before the end. Gotta keep them xonstats high.
|
||||
- Sound is important, firstly you can hear where enemies are (especially when you turn off music) and secondly you can also spot low HP players by sound (they make a specific hurt sound when low HP).
|
||||
- Just spec good players and do what they do.
|
||||
- **All americans in the game are cheaters**, without exception, just like in real life. You spot americans by ping and high score despite playing like pre beginners when you spectate them, and by crying like babies when you criticize [capitalism](capitalism.md) and tech consumerism.

|

- some **tactics/strategy/habits**:
|
||||
- **Chasing low health players is usually a bad idea** and a mistake made by nubs: such player, if he's not a complete newbie, can just spam electro/nades behind himself and easily kill you.
|
||||
- **Unpredictable movement and positioning is key** to avoiding damage: nubs think that when they move fast they won't get hit -- this is only partially true, it is about just as important to move unpredictably and avoid spots that get regularly spammed by enemies. When you move from point A to B on a map and the enemy sees you doing so, you should take a randomly long short pause in doing so, or maybe even switch direction completely, otherwise he can quite accurately predict when and where you'll appear at the destination and kill you with prefire. It's a great advantage if your opponent doesn't know where you are. One sneaky tactical move is "the return" when you pretend you run away from somewhere, then wait 3 seconds and return back (the opponent expects you to run anywhere but to where you ran away from).

|
|||
- **Higher ground is usually good**.
|
||||
- When microcamping (camping for a short time with vortex somewhere), the only direction you can be hit from should be the one you're looking in. Nubs sometimes camp in a spot that can be seen from multiple directions -- that's just asking to be fragged.
|
||||
- **Use machine gun (MG) secondary to finish off low HP enemies**: MG is [hitscan](hitscan.md), i.e. it hits instantly on a distance and its easier to hit with than vortex (which fires just one strong shot) -- the secondary fire has no bullet spread unlike the primary fire, so it's ideal to just deal quick small hit that's enough to finish someone. But watch out, some people bitch about using MG this way being too nub, going for slap will entertain the audience better.
|
||||
- **Take items**, many new players just walk by mega health without taking taking it, that's pretty stupid.

|
||||
- It's sometimes good in a fight to be directly above or under the opponent as it's harder for him to aim precisely looking completely up or down, and with many weapons it's generally harder to just hit someone in air, especially for noobs. Noobs mostly don't even see you if you're above their heads (they have FOV set to low), it's basically free damage.
