5 Best Tips for Beginners in Post Scriptum

Post Scriptum is a World War 2 tactical shooter that has a somewhat daunting learning curve. If players are used to more casual, less realistic shooters, there is a lot to learn. The game features a logistical system, as well as many other gameplay systems for players to interact with. Each of these systems is in-depth enough to deserve its own dissection, so the game's initial learning process can be a bit difficult. However, we have you covered with our picks for the 5 Best Tips for Beginners in Post Scriptum. 

5. Monitor Your Stamina

Our first entry on today's list of the best tips for beginners in Post Scriptum is one players often take for granted. Monitoring and thereby managing your stamina is one of the most impactful tips to follow, especially early on. Getting into the habit of managing your stamina not only will improve your overall combat effectiveness. But it will also increase your survivability. The reasons behind this improvement are rather obvious: the more stamina you have, the more likely you are to escape a perilous situation.

For example, if you are following your squad across a large field, maintaining stamina is incredibly important. This is due to the fact that once you hit contact with enemy players, you would be advised to run to cover quickly or sprint across the field. This not only makes you a more difficult target to hit, but managing stamina also affects your effectiveness with your weapons at range, which can play a significant role in your success in a firefight. All around, monitoring your stamina is one of the best habits new players can use in Post Scriptum.

4. Map Knowledge

Continuing on with our list of the best tips for beginners in Post Scriptum, we will cover map knowledge here. This tip is perhaps the tip on our list that requires the most time in the game. After playing Post Scriptum for a while, you will slowly begin to absorb information about the game's maps. This information could include anything from flanking routes to possible key locations to attack and defend. This somewhat allows more experienced players to have an advantage over new players.

That said, there is a way for players to get familiar with these maps relatively quickly. On top of resources available on the Internet, players can also visit these maps in a controlled setting. You can accomplish this by visiting an empty server in your server browser and familiarizing yourself with the map that way. Additionally, the map within Post Scriptum can provide the player with tons of information. This makes map knowledge one of the best pieces of information available in the game, and utilizing it is one of the best tips for Post Scriptum.

3. Choose the Rifleman Kit

We are following up on our last entry with a tip that many players will potentially overlook. For our next tip, we will cover why players would be wise to stick to the Rifleman kit for their beginning hours in the game. The workhorse of any infantry squad, the Rifleman not only allows players to get into the thick of the action but also plays an excellent role for players looking to learn about the game. This is due to the fact that, unlike specialty roles such as the Light Anti-Tank kits or other Fire Support roles. The Rifleman notably doesn't have a limit per squad.

This makes it fantastic for players looking to absorb information as they play. The Rifleman kit also comes outfitted with a basic yet effective loadout. This makes learning the ropes of the game easier, as there are fewer mechanics and things to be responsible for. One of the best tips we can give Rifleman players early on is to follow the direction of your Squad Leader. Your role as a Rifleman is to work alongside the rest of the squad to ensure the utmost effectiveness. For these reasons, choosing the Rifleman kit is one of the best for new players or beginners in Post Scriptum.

2. Know Your Role

We are staying somewhat in the same vein for the next entry on our list. Here, we will cover the different roles and how knowing and understanding your role can lead to great success in Post Scriptum. The game is a more hardcore tactical shooter. The roles players choose to play in the game are of the utmost importance. In every squad within the game, there are a limited number of roles to choose from. For beginner players, we recommend sticking to the Infantry roles and saving the logistical & armored roles for later.

Within the Infantry, there are several roles for players to fill. These roles include Machine Gunners, Light Anti-Tank, Medics, Grenadiers, Sappers & Marksmen. Each of these roles has its own relegated purpose and importance to the squad, which is excellent. This makes choosing the role that is right for you and understanding it fully a fantastic way to get a leg up on your opponents. In conclusion, knowing your role is one of the best tips for beginners in Post Scriptum.

1. Communicate With Your Squad

Communication is of the utmost importance in games like Post Scriptum. Games are won and lost by the team's overall ability to communicate. What makes games like these special is their emphasis on communication on both the macro and micro scales. In Post Scriptum, it is your job as a new player to absorb the information given to you by other members of your squad, and especially your Squad Leader. Communicating enemy locations or the general state of things around you can significantly increase your situational awareness.

This not only aids your squad as a whole but can even save you from being eliminated by enemies. If, for example, you are looking to attack an area you aren't sure is occupied by enemies, perhaps a squad mate has a better idea of the enemy's numbers there. This makes communicating with them a great way to ascertain the situation prior to fully committing. In addition to this, in tandem with our other tips on this list, this tip is paramount in being an effective Post Scriptum player.
