Many beginners hesitate to use voice chat, fearing judgment, but most players appreciate communication. Start by listening and gradually contribute—simple callouts like enemy locations or loot info are valuable. This step is essential for understanding teamwork and the dynamic pace of squad play. Progress is measured by your ability to communicate effectively, follow team plans, and contribute to squad success.

Review and Analyze Gameplay
2-4 hoursIntermediate
Summary: Watch your own or others’ console gameplay to identify mistakes and learn advanced tactics from experienced players.
Details: Recording and reviewing your matches, or watching experienced console players’ gameplay, is a powerful way to accelerate improvement. Use your console’s built-in recording features to capture your games, then watch for common mistakes—poor positioning, slow looting, or missed shots. Compare your play to that of skilled streamers or YouTubers, focusing on decision-making, movement, and aiming techniques. Beginners often struggle to spot their own errors, so take notes and set small goals for each session. This reflective practice helps you internalize advanced tactics and avoid repeating mistakes. Progress is seen in your ability to recognize errors and apply new strategies in subsequent matches.
