You can save a 100% defib for future use by charging to 100%, then switching to your sidearm before discharging the defib. Another cool trick.
Interesting, I never knew this was a thing even after thousands of hours in the game haha will have to try it out
@@darkvalkyrienz8393 yea...it will work like in BF3 but you have to make the conscious decision to do so. Combat medic perk almost negates this trick.
In my experience when you swap back to the defibs it’ll just discharge so make sure you’re ready to revive.
Discovered this by accident, have been using it every day since
Whaaaaa
Unbelievable years of playing this game years and i never knew there is crawl mode in tanks. Wow.
Same
Not on console
@@elliotfaggetter762 all consoles have it. 😅
Only just found that out too 🤣 all those wasted shells and spam spotting for mines
Didn’t know about crawl mode in tanks 😲
Over 1000 hours in this game, and I'm still learning things.
@@AkiyamaKatsuko Nor did I. Also didn't know about the med back jump, slither or pressing s to survive fall damage.
Yeah, neither did I.
Raises hand, me neither! Does BF3 and 5 support crawl mode?
CRAAAAAAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIN
wow I actually didnt know a lot of these! Great video man :D
It's TBAG!!!!!!
@@barrymccaulkiner4232 I like how you're the only comment in the 3 days he was here

hi tbag
Okay Mr. Cod youtuber
Dude literally belly flopped from 500 feet and was like, "Hi how are ya?"
The last trick, bailing before crashing, you just need to switch to a passenger seat. Crash damage is only buffed for the pilot, so if you switch to a passenger the heli will not explode.
Speaking from experience, it always work on USA scout heli but the Z11 can still explode if the tail touch the ground, it usually explode for me when I switch seats to repair
@@christophersc2038 Z-11 needs to be driven carefully, touch the ground first of all with the shank slowly then there will be no problems
@@christophersc2038 z11 has a tail that easily touches ground, so if u crash on your side, you will receive damage from the side crash and for the tail hitting the ground, which is why z11 basically receives x2 fall damage than little bird.thanks for coming to my ted talk
Well hitting E is fast when your hand is on WASD while flying, moving the hand to F2 and etc would take a bit more time before crashing.
@@WZNGT Easier on console which is what I play on.
8 years later after launch and bf4 still is being explored!! Amazing game!
I love it. It's my go-to game almost EVERY time. ❤️
Now, new mechanic called "rouzou"
its a damn fine game, basically a better bf2042, not many factions though...
Saw another tip in your video, where if you're reviving someone on a hill/slope, revive where the gun/kit is rather than where the body has rolled off to.
Really hate it when i cant revive someone because i cant just point at the icon like i should.
Yeah this one took me a long time to figure out... Many games of reviving constantly on locker
In Bf3 there was a glitch where you couldnt rez someone if they were laying close to a medkit or ammo crate. You had to take out the kit or crate to be able to res.....
With the LAVs, the wire guided TOW missile still tracks with the 25mm cannon reticle, pop your TOW switch to primary and keep ripping while you guide missile to your target 😁
I do that especially on lav against any other vehicle, they die so quick, often they only have time to hit you once with a tank
Same with the attack helo tow missile
Also another cool bit about spawn beacons, you spawn or fly where the flower is pointing. That way you can chose which direction you want to spawn in from.
flower lol. Its a satellite antenna
@@bullethead1953 I'm always going to call it a flower now.
Flower>satellite
Potato/Patayto😂
WTH I have spent over 3000 hours in this game I have never heard of the Hold S on the parachute lol
What is it on console? Playing on PS5.
@@ethan-scott pull the left stick down i guess
I actually discovered it by myself lol
@@TK7-VB That was what I did
@@TK7-VB i thought it was common sense. If you float down while pushing the forward button youll go fast enough to receive fall damage. So pull back to not get hurt
I love how much depth there is to BF4, still underrated. How can 2042 be as good or better lol
“Underrated” uhhh yeah okay I don’t know about that one
Portal.
It cant cuz no rental servers, no matchmaking, crossplay with consoles that have aim assist etc. It will be shit just like BFV and BF1 for us bf3/bf4 players
@@invictusmaneo4587 Never understand why people complaining about aim assist. They literally use analog sticks lmao, let em have shitty unreliable aim assist. Just enjoy your insanely precise mouse 🤫🤫🤐
@@lazlo09 BF1 was good
If you get 500 kills in each jet, you can unlock colored contrails for your jets. Just equip one of the jet mastery dogtags and you're good to go.
Oh my
I'm playing bf4 since 2015 and I don't even have 20 kills with all jets combined, I just wanted to unlock the UCAV T_T
Really? Must be cap
Cap
@@cyberputo same
I think the most underappreciate game mechanic in BF4 is the commander mode. Actually it's the best way to play games if you feel burn out with many matches in the game and just wanna relax and support the match
And here I am, a literal endangered tryhard commander. I don't use the assets as much and talk to squads or use the team chat to make big callouts like where tanks or AA is. I promote squads that do stuff for the team and I give them shit like UAV or counter UAV and tell my AA to look for enemy UAV or counter UAV and use attack marks to tell him whereabouts it should be circling, with great success usually.
@@alphamoonmanlol
@@alphamoonmanwhat's your steam? We could use that for real in our little group that plays
@@user-jj7sz8ff6s "M'~"
It's crazy that this game is 8 years old and there's still shit to be found....it's insane how busy this game still is
Don't do bipod LMG on vehicles if you don't want to get a DPS(damage per sec) ban on servers which use Adkats stats because the plug-in would register that as damage mod.
On console select the vehicle and press “start” or your pause/options button. Instantly see what the driver of that vehicle sees. I’ve been doing this for many years
Isn't that the deploy point preview? I believe that also then plays in the pause menu.
@@simula152 Yes, but you won't see the direct view of the other player, just a static video image
Fun fact there are more than 5 guns with 2 default camos :) like aku12 . Svd. Scarsv . Ace21 etc.
How does it work?
@@KornelKK13 ? simply by scrolling down on misc camos...
Actually didn't know about the Ride Of The Valkyries easter egg
“You’ve heard of the youzoo, the woozoo” I’ve never heard of these in my 6 years of playing battlefield 4
Look up the zoosu it's was found by a guy with the same name I think it was a form of 180° turning I think it's been so long but I so remember it
Zouzou jump was the main movement meta back in competitive days of BF4 Good ol times
To parachute the furthest distance from the same fall, don't hold W. Alternate W and S every quarter second and you can reach places you couldn't before, like Seige C tower to D/E tower.
Art knows. Still, could have mentioned dual loadout seat switching e.g. have both zunis and tows in your lav by switching seats with a mate who has a different loadout. Another one, I once saw a crazy guy kill both repers in a little bird by deploying an incendiary grenade on top of it's rotor blades. And to finish, AP shells from a tank don't do a huge amount of damage to an attack heli, but will kill both the occupants, so job done there
Представите, что вы администратор, и вас убивает игрок с второго этажа (Operation Locker) потом спрыгивает, далее ускоряется с помощью забора, и телепортируется за турель в башне. Google translator: Imagine that you are an administrator, and the player from the second floor (Operation Locker) kills you, then jumps down, then accelerates with the help of the fence, and teleports to the turret in the tower.
Admin: what is this wizardry BANNED (Google translate) Админ: что это за волшебство ЗАПРЕЩЕНО
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Another one you forgot to put in video is "Rainbow Contrail" The thing is unlocked if you get 500 kills every fighter/attack jet CHN,RUS,USA then use air superiority dogtag or one of dogtag jet 👌
Whats that exactly? A camo?
It is smoke side of jet if your doing manuevers, the thing is will be change to blue and orange
The hardest hitting and most accurate LMG is not the Lsat ,but the M-60 E4.
The Glitch shot in US tanks still works against other factions. Aim for the bag on top of other tank from the front, it registers as a full rear hit . Two hit kill....... Also when firing long range tow from lav, switch to 25mm cannon and it has smaller reticle you can snipe with ...... Great Vid Art .....
Tell me more about hitting the "bag" on top of the other tank
@@anthonyvargas9143 thats was fixed
ive had over 500hrs in this - yet, only recently I've found out that the "jam" on m16a4 isn't a jammed (I reckonned dirty or broken) mouse button, the game actually requires u to time the bursts perfectly, pls tell me im not the only one
If you spam to fast it feels like the weapon is jamming, so yeah you need to time it.
Same thing with the m4, I stopped using it for that reason, always thought my controller was messed up
Its a skill weapon
never had that on the m16 or m4 or any burst weapon, except the an94 since it got a delay/cooldown between each burst. died quite a few times cuz of it xD
works like the m16 in pubg as well thats why some people hate it and some love it. the haters spam as fast as possible, and the lovers either have the perfect max trigger finger or understand you just click again as the burst ends
What about the Instant defib counter to knives? If you’re charging paddles and you get someone to stab you, the paddles will always win.
Most throwable gadgets and nades you can hold in your hand for easier targeting rather than the quick throw. Take out your melee and then use whichever it is such as a grenade, motion ball, or med pouch. Hit your melee right after you hit your desired gadget use and your soldier will hold it in their hand. It allows for better grenade placement and to just see some cool details dice put on the item that we rarely see. Especially on console
One other trick I just remembered: when you're in the attack boat and you it gets damaged, you can switch to the passenger seat and repair your boat. What I noticed is that you'll get receive repair points/ribbons even though nobody has taken your driver's seat. It's a good way to get more repair ribbons to unlock more stuff. 👍
I think this is true for any vehicle you can use a repair tool in (scout and transport helis, jeeps, RHIB boats, etc.)
Great video. I didn’t expect to learn anything as a diehard BF4 player, and was pleasantly surprised. Some of them were things I took for granted, not realizing that such tactics might be mind blowing for the uninitiated. jeez, letting the cat outta the bag - haha.
If you place an aa mine and get in either a attack boat, attack heil, or attack jet that has tv missiles if you shoot near the aircraft the mine will trigger and target that aircraft so you have a portable active radar missile Also supply drops from commander does resupply weapons for vechicles
show me
that tank "crawling" was cool, knew about a few but not that, going to use that from now on, just have to be on the look out for MAV's, so they don't blow me up...
Do we know how to use the crawl mode for the tank on console? Like which button? I dont see it listed in the options menu
I knew about the crawl mode, cause I always read all the keybinds when I'm new to a game. But I didn't know that it can be used to crawl over mines and slams. And also that it doesn't teamkill in HC. I thought the crawl mode was useless
I have 2000 hours and didn’t know the tank has 3 speeds lmfao
That crawl technique in the tank is epic. I can't wait to try it
you can only parachute out of the beacon if the map has aircraft (jets). For example you can't parachute out of beacons on flood zone, but you can in golmud
Thanks for the tip, i’ve been keep wondering about this.
A couple of very valuable tips I had no idea of. Thank you.
Bf4 definitely holds most of my crazy gaming moments. From insane teleportation glitches in lav and taking on an entire team of armour, to mastering the glitchy movement side of the game and becoming a 1 of 1 god in every server, to figuring out how to use the terrain around me in dogfights or helis to out manoeuvre enemies and absolutely... well yea freak them out but make them uninstall the game. Honestly most games I join now I just mess about with items I havnt used a lot or I go for knifes only mainly because I’ve fallen out with the game a bit because of the type of people in almost every sever, I will either try to be cool or I’ll be talking normally and 5 people will start having a piece of me and just say anything they can think of like telling me I’m crying or complaining when I’m just saying stuff most people will say through frustration about bad parts of the game, and on the occasion I’ll feel incredibly agitated/annoyed one day and I’ll take it out in chat (not on people in chat) and most people just bully you when you do that rather than ask if you are okay, I have a few times had super friendly people that genuinely wanted me to be okay and said maybe I should get off have a cup of tea or do something else because it’s pretty late and that’s well appreciated. It just gets to me more because I’d consider myself apart of the bf4 community since I’ve become so attached to the game, it’s been a big part of my growing up throughout secondary school and now I’m past that part of my life I think maybe when 2042 comes along I should make new beginnings, for the most part anyway.
by type of people.. you mean like you, right?? LOL
@@Derekva40 ?
If you are on a hill with your Tank or APC, just hold the crawl button and it will enable hand brake making your vehicle completely stopped so that it won't keep falling down the hill and you'll be able to shoot without moving
I'm not pc so ill never get to have this. But you should be heavily rewarded
@@bozzy8842 i think it might work by holding the crawl button ?!
8:20 Dont forget, in the direction you look, while you place the spawn beacon, in there direction you will spawn. If you look straight on the wall, You will Spawn by looking straight to the wall.
Bit of a scummy glitch but here's one for the console noobs: When engaging at a medium to long range with either a iron sight-4x scoped base weapon, don't think this works with the rorshk Use aim to look at the enemy, then when you are firing and lose the target, you will naturally aim back at them and try get more hits. If you zoom out and zoom back in, your aim assist will do a lot of work and magneting for you, this means hitting long range revolver shots can be deadly. This also works a absolute treat for CQC assault rifles you want to engage in long range with in single fire modes.
Aka aim assist?
Nice wasn't expecting to learn anything new after thousands of hours on this game but I did so well done!
I've always wondered how I get flanked in tower, thanks!!
The engineer class can remove any kind of explosive set by an enemy using R Even claymore where you can hold R and step over it while looking at it, doesn't work every time but it has saved me many times
Nice info, but wouldnt help me, because i always realise a claymore, when im already run through it.
@@DEADEND1961 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@DEADEND1961 You can still remove it even after you step on it if you are holding R, you should have a full magazine anyway so running with extra key pushed won't make a difference, I don't hold it all the time but when I move to a popular claymore spot like behind locker's doors I pay attention to explosives
on operation outbreak there is a matryoshka doll sitting on top of one of the hills in the middle of the map only accessible by helicopter/jet....just found it like 2 weeks ago
If you're in a helicopter (i dont know if in all of them, but scout helis for sure) and someone locks a stinger or any heatseeker at you, you can simply turn completly sideways to them (it works with 1 side, right or left, i dont quite remember, its been some time since my last bf4 play) you simply dodge the missile, its a glitchy not a feature. Just to be more clear, if the missile will come from your 12 hours (straight front) turn to 3 hours (making like a 90 degree angle with the helicopter cabin and the missile) and it will miss, and im 70% sure its the left side that has to be like that, i reallly dont remeber, but i used this the hell out when there were many stingers on baloon heat seeker pilots
Great stuff man, thanks for the tips
Only knew about spawning under roof and some other thing you mentioned. Looking forward seeing you cover 2042!
Important note - the smoke screen damage reduction does not work against guided weapons.
The vehicle bipod trick actually works with all transport vehicles. I found this out years ago. Me and my buddies use bipods on the support chopper all the time. You can do it on atvs, jeeps, rhibs, helis, snowmobiles, anything you can pull out a weapon on.
Ooof what a nice video, didnt know anything from here but am ready to learn them to use them while playing, thanks!
Gonna admit I didn’t know the tank crawl speed or infantry slide thing! Awesome vid mate
Thanks you so much for this video , super useful
Sick video man been playing since it came out haha didn’t know some these!! Thanks legend 😭👍🏽
I probably knew one or two of these. Awesome video bro!
Awesome some of these tips, knew a couple, great vid
Ooh, i was hoping to see the rare melee kill underwater. Not ON water, melee while both soldiers are diving UNDERwater
Been playing since day 1, and I just learned some new stuff. Thanks mate.
I’m pretty sure the tickets are removed when the game officially registers your death as one that cannot be revived. So dying in a vehicle immediately does that and drops a ticket. But dying as an infantry takes a few seconds until you can no longer be revived. Otherwise each team would lose about 20-30 tickets at the start of a game but you never see that happen.
Also if you setup your key bindings to make squad chat the enter key then hold it down over vehicle at spawn screen it will set up little macro that will spam enter and get you into vehicle quickly.
awesome vid governor...been playing this game since the beginning and have learnt some tricks from this vid
The kurzegesat of battlefield we always needed, Thanks!
Amazing video. After all these years I only knew 2 of those tricks. Thank you
To add to the one regarding vehicle spawns, you can also hear the audio from said vehicle while hovering over it and no audio if it’s destroyed
Great content! Most of the tricks were familiar to me but some weren't. I've seen people doing this kinda slip-catch/glyde on handrails often before but I always thought they'd be cheating! Really astonishing to still learn new things about BF4 after all these years...
A few I knew, most I didn't. Definitely will be using these in future matches. Cheers, phil
I still play, almost daily. Primary tanker, but love it all ...10 years later... crawl mode?!! Excellent video/ Excellent game. Thank you
7 years later and still learning new things about this game :D cool video
About the Locker glitch, I'm surprised you didn't mention the elevator glitch on Hainan. Abused by some at times but always fun to kill those hidden if you know about it.
I have been trying to figure out the “Getting out of a vehicle in the direction you are facing” since launch, finally the obvious answer that I’ve been missing for years
"I hope Battlefield 2042 doesn't have these glitches." Me: Ohhhh but they will, and ppl will find them, exploit them, and piss ppl off like they do in every PvP game 😂
I dont think the most are explored. These secrets have been gifted by whistleblowers
One tip for everyone that I noticed you using in your video but didn't mention it, increasing the size of your mini map. I heard this tip a while ago and utilize this in every game. The amount of detail you can see when it's larger is far superior to a small map. You can tell precisely how many enemies are in the area, their distance from you and direction they're facing. On a small mini map it's just a huge clustered mess. It doesn't take up that much space and there's no reason not to. 👍
how do you do that?
@@Derekva40 . It should be in the options menu somewhere.
since I only play bf4 since a year this was incredibly helpful. thanks.
That's crazy!!! I never knew about some of these tricks, been playing since BF3 then BF4 for total of almost 10 years now lol
Man, I've been playing this game for 5 years and didn't know 90% of these. Thanks!
Pro tip. Engagement zones Hold back on shooting a target. I go by this common sense for a long time. Why shoot the shot and make yourself spotted to the team... If you can make the kill? So many reasons not to do so. Make your bullets and time alive count. Shooting willy nilly and having targets duck into cover, run around a corner or outpath you in a chase is the worst way to lose a 1v1 and embarrass yourself when you had the jump ON THEM. Knife if you need to knife, desperation knifes get you countered and looking desperate for dog tag hunting or something dumb.
Thermal camo and smoke is overpowered, you can spam smoke, you cant get spoted after popping smoke for 10 seconds and the 4 seconds of spotting makes it easier to flank enemy tanks
I am a Max level and I didn't know most of these secrets Lol
You play in Oz? Ps4?
@@deathchant30 PS5!
@@r_thekingslayerx4352 chef_conehead
you can surf ontop of the abrams(any vehicle) and repair the tank as it drives and staying protected inside the turret model
Put a lot of hours into BF4 and didn’t know a lot of those tips! Thanks!
TIP! when using the TOW missile like in your last clip against the jet, you can swap back to main weapon for a more effective crosshair while the missile is in the air.
Was on the receiving end of someone doing that slither move, confused the hell out of me.
I always thought it was server lag or something lolol
I didn’t know any of this lmao this explains a lot
Pro tip. Account and time reloads when vaulting. The game will glitch when you press reload, then vault over something family quickly after you have pressed the reload button, then after you have finished vaulting a set time? I think? It's like 1 second You will have a full mag back and it cost you nothing
Pretty sure the reload is taking the correct amount of time, it’s just that the animation was disturbed. It was like that on BF3 as well and probably other BF games.
Had no idea about the disembark where you are looking and the unspot on disembark too o.O
Nice video, you should do all the battlefield games.
You can sometimes bug the games HUD out while using a sniper rifle (or any gun with a scope but iirc) and get a pink overlay (obviously meant for a whole other weapon or vehicle and not this use) improperly shown on ADS with a range finder hahaha, yes, to this day it still happens on PC and i still can't figure out the cause. My best guess is something like XM airburst sights code engaging improperly glitching everything out. Probably done by interrupting ADS by switching to equipment or some kind of action (vault). Useful if you want a straight bolt and a range finder for some reason
Haha that second respawn , that guy was like NANI !? OH WE DOIN THIS HUH MAKE A MOVE BRUH 🤣
I have probably almost 2000 hours in here, and I didn't know but maybe half of these lol.
Mazing video. Thank you!
Also recently learned you can cook grenades
Ok, how?
@@jermasbiggestfan7796 grenade button then hold fire button. I think, I just do it by motor memory at this point.
in heli if you have ecm counters and friendly has flares you can switch pilot seat to have full counter restored x1each
You can just make out a little bonus here on the Apocalypse Now heli easter egg - if you have a gunner, you hear Noob from Battlefield Friends screaming "I'm raining down the fire" (from the mortar episode).
I needed this years ago

The bipod trick works on heli seats too? That heli clip was extremely accurate for hipfire
No, the M60 ULT just has very tight hipfire that never changes
He has explosive ammo too
LOVE TOO SEE MORE OF THESE TIPS
At 3:04 never seen that way usually just jump from window stairs can pick which side of room to be on think third story too
With the escape vehicle trick you can just listen to it. It'll make sounds based on if it's spawned or not. You'll here the jets flying throught the air if they're spawned, but if they arent you wont hear anything
