What are the white arrows exactly? The same ones that show where damage is coming from but white instead of red.

I think red arrows are bullets that have hit you, and white arrows are near misses.

Near misses by enemy bullets from unsuppressed guns.

EDIT: Also, one more question.
What's a good Attacker operator for a new player?

My aim is kinda bad but I want to play an operator that would be most helpful to my team.
As Defender I usually play Rook or Doc, that way I'm helpful even if I don't kill anyone, but I'm not sure who to play as the Attacker.

They don't provide proximity indicators, but still provide hurt indicators.

If Castle got two armor rolls that functioned like reinforced walls but could still be broken by a couple dozen melee hits, I'd be down. He'd definitely get way more play now that there's so many breachers.

E: and make them go to the floor, yes

Right on, I thought they did something with the indicators but couldn't remember. Almost never fight anyone using one.

Blackbeard will allow you to take more damage in a firefight and prevent you from getting headshot, so the enemy will die before you do more often. He's also good at peeking into windows.
Thatcher's EMPs will break 90% of defenders' gadgets through walls and will allow a Thermite or Hibana to breach a reinforced wall even if Bandit had electrified it. His rifle and pistol are both very good.
Twitch also has a great assault rifle, a somewhat small profile, and can kill cameras indoors during Prep

Ash is pretty forgiving to play. Good guns, high speed, hilarious gadget. Your job is to take 3 breaching charges and just gently caress holes in everything. They reinforced the walls? Blow holes in the floor/ceiling

My aim is kinda bad

thatcher can spam aoe nades that take out gadgets and cameras so even if there isn't a thermite or hibana to assist you can still play him as a sort of mine sniffer and piss off players like lesion or kapkan than meticulously setup their traps

thermite will let you open up reinforced walls that will help your team and potentially ruin the defensive setup if you pick the right spot

iq will show you where bombs and container objs are through walls. it will also show you where dozens of traps and electronics are like cameras. you can go around and pop many of them through walls.

twitch is a drone version of this, has better armor and better guns but you have to spot the traps yourself

also try montagne. he is practically invincible and if you learn yo position with him you can seriously pressure the enemy while the rest of your team picks them off 1 by 1

Gentlemoas.
Twitch feels amazing when you set up your own flanks by zapping someone in the rear end, then sprint in and shoot them in the face.

I wouldn't underestimate how good a bit of chip damage can be, too. Taking out gadgets is usually a better choice, but people often survive random wallbangs with 10-30hp.

Man, I really didn't expect to enjoy the game as much as I do.
Siege really does so many things right. I don't even remember the last time I enjoyed a competitive FPS this much. The alternatives in the genre don't come anywhere close, I feel.

How come I've never seen or heard anything about tournaments for this game? Does it not work that well at high level or does Ubisoft refuse to support a competitive scene or what?

Thermite/Hibana and to a lesser, though still comparable, Thatcher are both basically "required" on a team, so it'd be a good idea to hit them up.

Monty can actually be a neat idea, too. Shields up and you wander into the objective/window as a distraction while pinging the bad dudes.

Only problem with picking Thermite/Hibana as your first attackers is they're pretty much required to get through walls and you'll be doing your team a disservice if you die too early to use your gadget.

hibana can certainly be one of the more complex operators in the game if you want to dive into her but it doesnt take too long to figure out thermite

you'll get zapped/muted and flanked a few times and then you'll know not to let it happen again

Castle isn't bad, he's just hard to play. If you take Tachanka you're making a statement to the other team: either you don't give a gently caress, or you think they're scrubs.
