Summary of Key Wellness, Self-Care, and Productivity Tips from How to be USEFUL on Light

This video provides a detailed guide on how to effectively play the “Light” class in a competitive game (likely The Finals), focusing on maximizing team impact through strategic roles, gadget use, positioning, and teamwork. The advice is structured around four main roles Light players can adopt, with tips on gadgets, positioning, and gameplay mindset to improve productivity and team success.

Key Strategies and Productivity Tips for Playing Light

1. Understand and Embrace Your Role

Objective Player: Use mobility tools like grapple and dash to quickly move cash boxes and engage in fights. The Gateway gadget allows instant transfer of cash boxes and repositioning. Prioritize staying alive during defenses and avoid risky plays early in defensive stalls. Utilize gadgets such as Breach Charge, Smoke Grenade, Sonar Grenade, Stun Gun, and Goo Grenades to defend cash out stations and stall enemy steals.
Scout: Focus on gathering Intel by positioning away but close enough to engage if necessary. Use Cloak for stealth and flanking. Primarily use ranged weapons but adapt as needed. Employ Tracking Dart, Sonar Grenade, Thermal Vision, and Vanish Bomb for Intel gathering and safer repositioning. Avoid shooting until ready to engage to maintain stealth.
Initiator: Your role is to weaken enemies without being the frontline or dying early. Engage to deal chip damage, then retreat safely using grapple, cloak, or Gateway to reposition. Pre-place Gateways for quick escapes or re-engagements. Use Glitch Grenades, Smoke + Thermal Vision, Sonar, Tracking Dart, Stun Gun, Thermal Boore, Vanish Bomb, Flashbang, and Frag Grenades to initiate fights safely and effectively. Communicate enemy positions and team composition to your teammates.
Executioner (In-Game Leader Role): Coordinate team plans and timing for engagements or disengagements. Use mobility gadgets to position for finishing kills or executing strategies. Utilize Gateway, Glitch Grenade, Stun Gun, Thermal Vision, Vanish Bomb, and Frag Grenades to control fights and secure kills. Aim to be the last alive to maximize clutch potential and damage output. Understand game math (score, kills needed) to make strategic decisions.

Gadget Usage and Tactical Tips

Gateway: Versatile for all roles; use for quick movement, escaping, or engaging.
Grapple/Dash: Essential for mobility and positioning.
Cloak: Best for scouting and stealth positioning.
Glitch Grenades: Great for initiation and mid-fight disruption.
Stun Gun: Interrupt steals and isolate targets for easy kills.
Smoke Grenade + Thermal Vision: Obscure enemy vision while maintaining your own.
Breach Charge & Thermal Boore: Useful for damaging or dropping objectives and opening new angles.
Tracking Dart & Sonar Grenade: Provide critical Intel for team awareness.
Vanish Bomb: Allows safe repositioning or stealth entry but be mindful of noise.
Frag & Flashbang Grenades: Useful for initiating fights or finishing off enemies.

Positioning and Gameplay Mindset

Stay alive as long as possible, especially near the end of rounds to clutch or stall.
Use gadgets to avoid direct confrontation when possible; play smart, not just aggressive.
Be the last alive to maximize Light’s high damage potential and clutch opportunities.
Communicate constantly with your team regarding enemy positions, plans, and timing.
Pre-plan your gadget placements (Gateways, Vanish Bombs) to ensure smooth engagements and retreats.
Understand your team’s composition and adapt your role accordingly.

Loadout Recommendations

Scouting Meta: Cloak + LH1 (long-range weapon) + Breach Charge or Frag Grenade + Gateway.
Objective/Initiator Build: M26 Matter or M11 + Evasive Dash + Vanish Bomb + Gateway + Frag Grenade.
Adapt loadouts based on team needs and personal playstyle.
