You just loaded into RIVALS, you’re ready to play your first match, and then someone hits you with a headshot before you’ve even figured out where they are. You respawn, try again, and somehow get destroyed even faster. 💀

Maybe you’ve seen people flying around the map, hitting crazy shots, switching weapons every two seconds and making the game look ridiculously easy. Meanwhile, you’re standing there wondering why your shots aren't hitting anyone.

Don’t worry — this ultimate beginners guide is for actual beginners. Whether you’ve just started playing RIVALS or you’ve been playing for a little while but still feel like everyone is better than you, these tips will help you understand the game and improve.

❌ Common Beginner Mistakes

Every RIVALS player has made at least a few of these mistakes. If you're new, don't worry — they're completely normal.

🔫 1. Reloading at the Worst Time

You just used your last few bullets, run around a corner, and think, “Perfect time to reload.” Then an enemy appears. 💀

Try to reload when you have cover or when you know the enemy isn't nearby.

🏃 2. Running Straight at the Enemy

Charging directly toward someone while they're already aiming at you usually doesn't end well.

Use movement, cover and different angles instead of making yourself an easy target.

🎯 3. Panic Shooting

An enemy suddenly appears and you start clicking absolutely everything.

Instead, try to stay calm and keep your crosshair on them. Wildly shooting usually just wastes your ammo.

🔄 4. Switching Weapons Too Much

Some beginners switch between their weapons constantly without really knowing why.

Learn what each weapon is good for and switch because you need it, not just because you can.

🧱 5. Ignoring Cover

Running around in the open makes you an easy target.

Use walls, corners and other parts of the map to protect yourself while you plan your next move.

👀 6. Not Watching the Enemy

Sometimes beginners focus so much on getting a kill that they forget to notice where the enemy is going.

Pay attention to their movement. If you can predict where they're going, landing your shots becomes much easier.

🧠 7. Getting Angry After Losing

You lose one round and suddenly it's personal. 😭

Getting frustrated can make you play worse. Instead, think about what caused the loss and try to fix it in the next round.

⚡ 8. Trying to Copy Pros Immediately

You might see an insane RIVALS player flying around the map and think, “I'm going to play exactly like that.”

The problem is that advanced movement and techniques take practice. Start with the basics and build up from there.

🗺️ 9. Not Learning the Maps

If you don't know the map, you won't know where enemies can appear or where you can take cover.

Play the maps enough to learn the important areas, angles and routes.

💀 10. Thinking Every Fight Has to Be Won

Sometimes backing away is the smarter move.

If you're low on health or have a bad position, don't force the fight. Get somewhere safer and wait for a better opportunity.

Basically: don't worry about making mistakes. You're going to make them. The important part is noticing them and getting better each game.
