Could Someone Advise Me on How to Improve Gameplay Strategies in Dirty Bomb?


(Caro Line45) #1

Hello everyone :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I have been a fan of dirty bomb for a long time; and I have always appreciated the game energetic; collaborative action as much as I enjoy playing; I struggle to consistently perform at a high level; in competitive situations. I am reaching out to this group because I know many of you have a wealth of experience and knowledge that I might benefit from.

My biggest problem appears to be with my decision making during critical moments of game play. I constantly find myself deciding between pushing alongside my team and holding back to achieve a goal. This indecision has occasionally lost us a match, and I am searching for tips on how to enhance my situational awareness and decision making under pressure.

  • How do you effectively communicate with your teammates throughout a game to ensure everyone is on the same page? I often use voice chat; however it appears that we are not always on the same page; particularly when it comes to executing coordinated pushes or defensive preparations. Are there any unique callouts and methods that you’ve discovered to perform well in certain situations?

  • I normally play as a Medic and Engineer; but I am not sure if I am choosing the correct Mercs for the task. How do you decide which Merc to pick based on the map and the composition of the opposition team? Are there certain Mercs that you believe are particularly good in the current meta; or is it all down to personal preference and playstyle?

  • I am familiar with most of the maps; but I still struggle to choose the ideal positions to hold or push from; especially when the game is busy. What are some tips for enhancing map knowledge and positioning? Are there any routes or positions that you think are essential for competitive play?

  • I have been improving my aim in offline modes and with aim trainers, but I still do not feel like I’m making enough shots in live battles. How did you increase your targeting ability? Do you primarily rely on raw shot practice; or has anything else helped you become more accurate in game?

  • I would love to hear any tips for staying calm and focused in high pressure situations. When things are not going well; I tend to become agitated; which I know has an impact on my performance. How can you keep a solid mental game when the stakes are high?

Also I explored some topics related to this https://forums.splashdamage.com/t/open-thread-how-do-you-believe-we-can-salesforceadmin-increase-the-dirty-bomb-player-base/229599/5 but I did not get the sufficient solution of my query so I would really want to get some help from a more experienced person

I am very committed to improving; and any advice or recommendations you can provide would be greatly appreciated. :pray: I am sure there are other players out there who are encountering similar issues; so maybe this thread will be a useful resource for them as well.

Thanks in advance for your efforts :hugs: :slightly_smiling_face:
