Shes super new to FPS games and has a hard time even locating me in game lol, i have to always tell her in voice chat turn right left behind u for her to follow me.

So shes new, any ideas on how to have her survive more? We were playing panzer storm getting rekt by tanks a lot as infantry, so i was thinking we need to play sneaky next time.

I know i need her to get better in general, but any fun ideas would be nice.

So far we rode in a stuka got annilated, we rode in a tiger, got annihalated by greyhounds, she likes being inside the tank as a machine gunner makes her feel "safe" lol. We tried sniping but tanks would roll up to us and kill us.

I don't think that battlefield is a very good game to introduce someone to games, I think that you should look to mor beginner friendly games to get a hold of the mechanics first, like for example astro bot if you are on PlayStation or the lego games

Panzerstorm is brutal without using the right paths.

You can help by being her personal medic. My wife used to play sometimes, she always felt useful being the medic as her aim wasn't the best and getting good revives in is as useful as killing others.

Lego games are a great start for learning how to move around a map, how to identify friend vs foe, and for melee and gun combat. Very fun games to get someone new into gaming!

Try being the tank guy who stays far away and launches shells at far away enemies. Let her repair you when you take damage, or vice versa. It’ll annoy others in the game, but may be more fun until her reaction time improves

Definitely don’t play Panzerstorm for introducing someone into Battlefield. Take a map that has a good balance of infantry and vehicles.
Arras is really good.
But in general if she’s really completely new to video games and doesn’t even know how to move properly then I don’t think that Battlefield is a good first choice.
Maybe go on something easy like Minecraft. I think that’s a great start

I met a couple playing together in the game Foxhole. They helped me empty my ammunition facility and brought shells to the front.

Looked really cute seeing them drive off in their trucks and sail off in a freighter. You could try different war games or mmos together that are easier to interact with as a team:)

I agree, "super new to FPS games" and right into BV with hardened players is difficult
Op should try games like farcry 5 co-op together first or something. It will help to learn the basics, like how to actually survive in an FPS game (taking cover, aiming and so on)

Practice together in TDM so she gets used to infantry combat. After she learns you can teach her AT gameplay

She's likely trying to navigate the controls while getting killed by other players. Play the campaign.

introduce her to single player FPS games on EASY difficulty. theres metro, BF, COD campaigns, Rage for cheap. borderlands if yall want to couch co-op or play together, way better way of getting her used to controls and sense of direction.
