The player and YouTuber TheGodlyNoob shows in his latest video how good he has become after 7000 hours in Rainbow Six Siege. The shooter is considered particularly difficult for beginners – but TheGodlyNoob makes even the hardest tricks look easy.
This is what 7000 hours in Rainbow Six look like: TheGodlyNoob showcases several scenes from the game in his montage, where he performs exceptionally well. He doesn’t just take down any noobs, but even sets his own challenges.
The video starts off relatively tame with a 1v5 play. As Caveira, he is the last one left in his team and manages to eliminate the entire enemy team by skillfully utilizing corners, stairs, and holes in the floor and ceiling.
Directly in the next clip, he tackles a hardcore challenge: one bullet per enemy. He empties his entire magazine except for five shots, forcing him to kill each enemy with a single bullet.
If an enemy dies from a teammate, he simply shoots the corresponding bullet into the wall. TheGodlyNoob even wins this round, securing four out of five possible kills:
In his later rounds, he even shows how he destroys C4 thrown at him mid-air with just one shot. Such a move is considered extremely good even among professionals, as in online games, the ping usually ensures that the C4 detonates and kills the attacker before they can react.
Who is the player? TheGodlyNoob has been creating content for Rainbow Six Siege for over five years and is known in the community for his loud critiques. This sometimes meets with disapproval from other players (via reddit).
Nevertheless, he runs a huge YouTube channel with 1.05 million subscribers, where he regularly uploads guides, tips, and entertaining videos about Rainbow Six. He consistently generates thousands of clicks, apparently appealing to many fans of the game with his content.
One bullet per enemy – How do you get that good?
You can learn from this: In the first scene, it’s already visible how TheGodlyNoob blows up a piece of floor on the map to be able to look up. Walls and floors in Rainbow Six are often destructible to create such situations.
Usually, wooden walls and floors are destructible if they are not reinforced. Use this knowledge to surprise enemies or prevent yourself from becoming a victim. Small “peep holes” are also helpful, for which a single shot through a wall is sufficient.
However, it is evident in almost all clips that TheGodlyNoob never reloads directly after a shot. As a tactical shooter, shots hit much harder in Rainbow Six, and a headshot is usually lethal. Reloading takes time and makes you vulnerable to enemy attacks.
Therefore, it’s crucial never to reload right after a shot unless you are absolutely sure that no enemies are nearby. MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus has learned this in Rainbow Six:
How can you get even better? What stands out about TheGodlyNoob is his keyboard. He uses a so-called “TKL” keyboard (“tenkeyless”) without a numpad. This is shorter, and he can “rotate” it to use a more comfortable hand position. While it’s a matter of preference, if you’re looking for better hardware, you can find on MeinMMO the best gaming keyboards you can buy in 2021. There are also TKL keyboards along with reviews.
However, pure skill cannot be learned theoretically alone; it comes with experience and playtime. TheGodlyNoob has plenty of both with his 7000 hours. For beginners, you can find 5 tips for beginners and advanced players that will help you in Rainbow Six.
