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.

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.

[Mrcool]

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.

[lincE]

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"

[drunkenfox]

Just started playing went to the infantry to tutorial everybody gangsta till the live fire exercise starts

[mattevans]

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.

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.

[BullsMahunny]

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.

[ianosborne]

Who here is pretty much a squad veteran, and still enjoys watching this.

[captainobvious]

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.

[spear]

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.

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!

[JapaneseGigolo]

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.

A wise man once said "Attack Flag".

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.

[verbaldrop]

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

[Modi_]

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.

[huellbabushka]

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

[sadlersquad]

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.
