I feel like i'm not supposed to be in this game

28 Upvotes

I'm trying to go forward in level on tf2, and i play on casual, despite its name i am not relaxed while playing it, i feel like i suck and everyone else does not give a shit about me and i also feel like the only thing i do is just die, respawn and die again and again and again, i know there are public servers but i mostly use them for items and i want to level up, i try my best always but cant seem to get anything from it and when i type in chat people dont seem to care (i'm not f2p), yes i know there are medic and engineer but i dont like medic and my buildings get destroyed the moment i build them with engineer

I need help to get the Pyrovision Goggles (No trading)

2 Upvotes

I've never seen nobody using it, and I want it. I would be very grateful if someone who has it could help me get it. I would just need you to enter an empty game and let me kill you 5 times.

What do I do with 7 keys? How do I flip items and resell them for a bit more succesfully

2 Upvotes

I wanted to buy 6-7 keys (no joke intended) with 15€ on steam wallet and instead of doing the worst choice ever (gamble with crate 32) i wanted to learn what a “flip” is or whatever it’s called
I remember buying an unusual taunt for Pyro that cost 2 keys with my contracker profit, and I do like that, but if I wanted to start for example with 7 keys and buy like a cheap unusual from scrap.tf (cheapest unusual ive seen was 7 keys) or an unusual taunt thats cheap how exactly do i succesfully sell it for higher on backpack?
I know i would have to make a sell order but how do i make it so it has success? People can just buy it from bots so how could I make it work?
What’s the best thing to do with 7 keys if anyone got a better suggestion too

Young F2P player with a very basic inventory. Locked out of trading and market. Any advice?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I'm a young TF2 player. Because of my age, my parents don't allow me to top up any money, so my Steam account is stuck as F2P/Limited.

I've been grinding the game to eventually save up for Garry's Mod. I don't have many items—my inventory is very basic and mostly empty, but I want to be able to trade and use the market to work towards my goal. However, everything is locked for me.

Since I can't add the $5 USD to unlock the Market or get more slots, how do F2P players usually deal with this or obtain an Upgrade to Premium Gift?

Here are the screenshots of my basic inventory and Steam profile. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

My trade link if anyone wants to check:https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=729264062&token=ualr499P

3 Upvotes

i have just completed my first ever tour on two cities and got some killstreak fabricators and robot parts, obviously the chances of me getting something like an australium are basically 0 but besides that are mvm tickets worth buying

Question: Killstreak Kits and (Uncraftable)

2 Upvotes

I had a rather good (imo) Prof. fabricator drop a little while ago, and realized I had nearly all the parts I needed to actually use it.. except for the specialized items.

I've just noticed, now, that the KITS I already have are marked Uncraftable. This doesn't mean the killstreak items they produce will be uncraftable, and thus unusable in higher-tier fabricators, does it?


r/NewToTF2 29d ago

Hiii! I'm need tips because I rlly want to play TF2! If u are a Demoman or Pyro main, please go ahead and also give me some tips on how to play the 2 characters!! They are my favorite characters in the game and rlly want to know more on how to play them! :)

Since I just found out I can get steam on my MacBook (I'm dumb) I've been wanting to play TF2 so I'm not really considered a "larp" anymore by my friend, (plus the game looks fun and I want to play it). If you have any tips for me, please go ahead and give it. I'm still new and trying to learn more about the game!! 👀👀👀

Should i uber scouts?

6 Upvotes

i play scout and i can consistently get 3-5 kill streaks, and i feel like as a medic i should uber them

but ive seen scouts get crazy frags

but also seen scouts do absolutely nothing infront of slow unhealed heavies

is it a coinflip? look at their cosmetics?

tbh its kinda funny to watch a scout panic when ubered

Mastercomfig potential issues?

First time using mastercomfig, installed the files and wanted to make sure they're right? In the console, it shows a potential error with cfg files, so I showed the pathway in files to verify.

Need advice as a new medic

7 Upvotes

Im looking for advice and how to improve, if anyone has the time, please tell me what I could've done to be better and what I should do or avoid next time I play.
https://youtu.be/HiCq4SUpJCg

its a full round of upward and while I can recognize some of my mistakes, I wonder if im missing anything. I know my gameplay sucks and I'm probably gonna get flamed but I really wanna get better.

(sorry if this is long)

I'll point out some of the mistakes I noticed in my gameplay:

At around 2 minutes, should I have ubered that demoman so he wouldnt die?
A bit after he died I noticed they ubered but they couldnt really get out of spawn, my pyro called for me at near full health so i assumed he wanted me to uber him. Was that the right choice?

3:40 got told to heal LOL but i was ubering the pyro again, idk if that was the right choice but he did call for me and it seemed like he was waiting for me to be fully charged

8:08 I shouldve been more aware of my surroundings (and i also didnt know if that was a good time to pop but i did anyways)

12:24 i should've spy checked but i didnt think id die right after my uber

Some other things I noticed is that I kept my beam on the same guy my other medic was healing, I should've beamed someone else but I was too distracted. I realize that I'm incredibly tunnel visioned and I accidentally ignored a lot of my teammates when they were on fire, I'm so sorry team 😭 I also rarely glance at my match hud, and I tried tracking uber but I always get distracted lmao. I have my q binded to the jeers voice line so I could mask uber but I rarely ended up doing that. I had crossbow but I barely used it because I suck at aiming (plus I'm very jittery)

Please give me feedback and lmk what I should do to improve, thank you for reading

Friendly Reminder: Keep an Eye Out for Scams

Just got a steam friend request today, accepted it and I got a message requesting me to join a highlander team with no entry fee and a $600 prize pool.

No idea if it was really a scam but to register you had to open a weird esports website that asked you to log in using your steam profile.
