Alright boys and girls, in this guide I will teach you how to not succ with your class of choice alright? But if you asking "who tf are you mate?", I am just a guy addicted to this game playing nonstop and most of the time not sucking. So take my words if you will, I watched countless videos about the things I am going to say as well so yeah, these words are not only mine and mine alone basically.

I AM NOT A NATIVE SPEAKER, PLS NO JUDGING SOME TYPOS AND ALL. <3

Alright look, I'm also a light main but there is few stuff we need to discuss.

You're not Lyr1c, neither am I my man. Most likely you're not performing well at the moment so you had the feeling of coming here and checking guides which is the first step of improvement if you ask me.

Take the damn glitch grenade and stun gun. These two are your best friend as a Light player.

This thing maybe the most powerful gadget in the game apart from the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ RPG. Basically what it does is, when you throw it to a place where players or gadgets are situated, basically disables everything for around 10 seconds. Players wont be able to use anything but their guns, turrets/mines/skills will shutdown, basically clearing the field. I can not stress out how important this ♥♥♥♥ is, so please in the name of god take it on your build.

This thing is pretty much disgusting of an item. You usually approach from behind and use it on your victim, and basically they can not turn their back almost. It disables zooming in on the scope, skills, moving fast, crouching, everything basically. stays for like 3 seconds or something, so yeah pretty strong item.

Go invisible and position yourself good. This thing is there for positioning not for in combat use most of the time, because people can see you alright? So position good with it. If you wanna break the game use the shotgun, its pretty much broken with it at the current state of the game.

This thing is superior to cloak if you ask me. It's good for positioning because it can be use vertical as well. If you look up and use it, it will push you vertical as well. Also very strong to use it on aim duels to throw people's aim, or to get out of a fight safely. I would suggest this over cloak, though, it's muuuuuch more harder to utilize than cloak due to the nature of the skill. Both of them are viable.

Hook is something I do not have experience with, though I do not think that it's that viable in a competitive setting.

Well actually most of the guns do very well on light if you ask me. Melee are reeeeally fun but a bit throw in ranked.

Right now I am learning the throwing knives and I can say that it is definetly not worth learning and mastering them while you can just brrrrr people with XP or with pistol lol.

I will explain everything in different lines so it is easy to understand and follow in games.

-You are not meant to get into aim duels, never approach anyone in a fair fight, you will most likely lose. Not because you succ though, you have 150hp lol.

-This game is a team based game. Play and sync with your team even though if you think that they are dumb, Light requires some form of chaos running already to perform better.

-Use the chaos. Approach from offangles while they are trying to kill teammates all the time. If you played overwatch before you're basically tracer actually.

-NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER TRY DUELING A HEAVY. THIS ♥♥♥♥ BROKEN MY MAN, I FEEL YOUR PAIN. (Though, if you are far away from him and have some ranged weapon, and he has the shotgun, you can clap his ass from far away. Stay away if they have lewis gun though.)

-Use your glitch grenade before getting into the cashout zone, alllllll the time. Do not sleep on your gadgets, or you are basically worthless to teamfights apart from the possibility of a kill.

-Please, in the name of god, do not overcommit. Do not push too hard, or you will die.

-CHANGE POSITIONS ALL THE TIME. USE YOUR DAMN SPEED.

Light sucks mostly, due to how hard it is to get value from it compared to other classes. But if you believe on yourself and try utilizing the things I have said above, you may find success on not dying all the time and helping your team for a win. Look its alright to not perform well every single match yeah? Do not blame the game and yourself, try understanding what was wrong and how to get better. You got this hehe

You are the glue that holding the team composion and the good part is, if you solo you do not need to play support. Yeah, I mean it because most of the players currently do not understand the way the game meant to be played. I will explain two different play styles.


Basically run the healing thingy with mines and defib to revive instantly. Play around corners and heal your heavy if you have one. And if you do not have one, I strongly do not suggest playing support. Thats because it's hard to catch up with a semi-throwing sweaty light player or with a medium who's not worth healing that much while you can play the other playstyle for a better odds of winning.

-Heal heavy, let him perform.

-Utilize covers.

-Mine the flank routes for easy kills and protecting yourself. Light players are blinded by how fast they are most of the time.

-Do not pocket your teammates nonstop, you have a gun as well.

-Value your life.

-Use the bubbles and barriers of your heavy, dont sleep on this.

That's basically how I would cover the support playstyle, hope it helps. I know it's not a lot, but I am not sure what to say on top of this.


This is the best build if you are going solo for medium in my opinion, has better carry potential and it is really hard to capture a cashout while there is a good mine medium situated there.

-Use explosive and gas mines, no matter what.

-Always carry the defib to insta revive your teammates. This is very strong at the moment.

-Put your turret where they can not easily see it and where the turret can secure the kills on people who may have step on mines.

-Gas mines should be around the cashout station for how good it is to stop people from capturing it.

-Explosive mines one shot lights. Use it on flank routes or behind doors or at the landing of a zipline while you're defending the cashout. I can not stress this enough, this will carry your matches most of the time.

-If you are trying to capture the cashout site, throw your mines inside the place and shoot them to utilize them like grenades. This can catch people offguard.

-Do not gas mine the cashout machine if you are trying to capture the site. Enemy can easily shoot it so you can not take it or your allies can not. I died multiple time to my own teammates because of it.

Go support if you have premades or a heavy, and mines if you are solo. I think this summarize the medium pretty much, hope it can help you succeed! Oh for the guns though, play whatever you enjoy man. Do not be a metadog lol you got this

Well at the current state of the game, these guys are the dominant force. So I will touch on few things considering I do not play heavy, so I would not like to misinform people.

-Destroy and reshape the zone while youre trying to capture the cashout.

-Always use the RPG. This ♥♥♥♥ is busted, one shots lights, not sure about the medium though.

-Use that damn shotgun, its broken.

-Or use lewis gun, its pretty strong.

-Idk, it performs whatever you do man. Just do not use sledge hammer lol.

Well, that's it. I hope that it helped for people who is trying to find some help on this game.

Biggest advice is goes for every game; just please stop blaming the game and look for your own mistakes, look for opportunities you may have missed during that fight.

Also, this game is super competitive and there is like A LOT to learn man. Do not expect to know everything about the game right away. It will take time yeah? Just enjoy the adrenaline.
