How to Trash Talk on Xbox Live

Last Updated: April 7, 2022

Being good at a game is a sure way to "own mad noobs" but if you didn't do so good or you just like to argue, then trash talking can make the match funnier.

Steps

1
Be brave. Who cares that you came in last place: Yeah, trash talking after owning everyone in the room gives you a clear advantage but so what, brag about your kill death ratio or point out someone for "camping" the whole time.
2
Don't be too loud. Just because you want to tell someone how much they suck, doesn't mean you have to hog the sound waves, let other people make their lame comebacks so you can spike it back at them showing your true ownage.

3
Point out someone: If someone sat around and camped the whole time say something, most likely other people are going to back you up if they were really doing something wrong.
4
Do it for the laughs. As much as you want to dominate someone, make it funny because everyone likes that one hilarious kid in the lobby.
5
Avoid being obnoxious. Don't whine and be annoying because chances are, you're the one that's gonna get dominated.
6
Make friends. You don't have to friend request them but making some lobby friends is always good, especially if a lobby fight breaks out you want them to have your back.
7
Know when it's appropriate. If no one is talking when you enter a lobby it's probably not a good idea to try to trash talk.
8
Be careful what you say. There are people who report trash talkers if you use overly swear filled language (so trash talk all you want, just lay off the f-bombs).
9
Be funny. You don't have to trash on other people. In most cases, you will find that the subject matter is far away from video games, in general just don't talk about racist or controversial subjects, unless you are in that sort of company. Still, try to avoid stuff like that.

Why is my friend acting like she does not want to be my friend anymore?

Community Answer

Maybe your friend hates your trash talk on Xbox Live and wants you to cut it out.

Warnings

You will probably have a lot of people trash talk at you for trash talking if you came in last place or if you played horribly.

You might upset a hacker so do not join his party/private chat and/or game lobby if he invites you to one. If you do get hacked, (usually it's DDoS, not hacked) call Microsoft or the police, it is a federal crime and very illegal.

Do this at your own risk, if you mess with the wrong people, you're going to see your rating drop from 5 stars to 1.
