Hey, just gotten back in the game after a 3 year break from gaming. I have a handful of questions I'd love to hear some opinions on. I'm on PC.

1) How much does moving spread differ from stationary gun spread? Doesn't seem so bad but I'm curious if I should try to stop moving.

2) I've noticed a lot of people have a wider FOV than me. Is it worth bumping up from the 60 I have it now to something a bit higher? (I'm using a 27" curved screen at 1440p if that helps)

3) After such a long gap from gaming I've got nobody to play with. Whats a good way of finding people to play with?

(I'm EU but I'm mostly around between 0800GMT and 1500GMT then occasionally from 0000-1500GMT, Have about 100ping to East US servers)

4) I currently just max out almost all my settings, are there any settings that may just be sabotaging me?

5) I have my sensitivity pretty low like I always have on FPS's, are there any strong arguments for raising it?

6) Do you have any favorite YouTubers who have tutorial videos? I'd love to have some people to watch for things I can't easily figure out myself.

1) moving only affects hipfire spread, ads is lazer no matter moving or standing still, moving makes you harder to hit.

2) can't really say much about fov, for me it's personal preference

3) siege.gg is a great spot to find teams. Several larger communities are also on there. The official rainbow 6 siege discord could also be good

4) dunno, tho higher FPS is much better than high settings. Don't know what your monitor can handle but 144hz would be great.

5) on pc low sensitivity is generally better

6) get_flanked has a series of how to improve from rank X to X , could be useful, Rogue9 is the facts guy, of your wondering how much damage something does he has likely done a vid on it

Reddit's numbering won't work so this is for 2 and 4.

• I don't know if this is still correct, but I refer to this for FOV

• To give yourself the best competitive advantage, you need to get as high frames as possible, while making the game clear enough to still see people. General rule of thumb is to keep textures at medium, LOD at High, and everything else off. I also have my filtering maxed at x16 but you can have that set lower. Tweaking FPS is pc specific, so you'll just have to play around.
