Thanks for the tips. I have been getting absolutely wrecked in this game as of late. I started out strong but now its been a struggle.

[@ChillOutHarper]

Here is another tip, if you're playing occupy or domination and you're looking to take a hill. Combo your ultimates! If you have a friend who is running phantoms and their ult is ready, save yours till you really need to make a play. Push together, pop your ults and stand in the phantom bubble. Its unbelievably free. Just mind the nades (until we get a trophy system)

Thank you for this video. I needed this because some players are too good or maybe cheating, I don't know. But I want to get better and will with some of these tips 😀 A good tip is to aim down sight and place the mag shield further away from you so you can get out of starting point in escort.

[@pricklycatsss]

It’s also not just me because most lobbies all vote against those particular maps the vast majority of the time. I wish they could have a 24/7 version of Arena that would be amazing. Also for some reason I really like Pueblito but I can’t explain why it just plays better for me

i play solo and go for high kill games, deadsec with mines is extremely helpful to watch a flank, it saved me so many times on dumbo when i was on the scaffolding shooting into their spawn and they would try to come up the stairs behind me

[@wile_e_kiwi7730]

One thing I only realised today is that when running Libertad faction with Biovida Boost, it displays a cross above any team-mates who are in need of healing. It's especially helpful in objective modes, as you can help support players taking or holding the objective. Not so helpful if you're playing solo in hotshot though, as I kept dying trying to reach team-mates tearing around the map 😂

Play around teammates, so often I see players trying to solo hold an objective verses 4 opponents when they could have waited just 3 seconds for the rest of their team to show up. Numbers advantage is really important in coming out on top in fights.

I don't ever see anyone other than myself use the M16A4, it absolutely shreds at any range, especially with the 3x scope. The only gun that competes is the MP7 and super close range, but even then it's 50/50 in my experience. That gun needs more love, it's helping me keep at least a 2 k/D every game

How can you know where they are?

[@JerkleCirc]

@@oxonomy2372 It let's me know I'm in the immediate vicinity. Because so many people who use it are camping or moving slowly, it leaves very little guess work for me as to where they are. I guess it's mostly just intuition, perspective, cover, and map knowledge getting processed really quickly? Plus, they normally aim near head level. If I think they're in the next room, pistol sprint, slide right through 'em, switch to SMG, rip 'em in half. Honestly, the movement in this game is my BIGGEST defense. And I love using the mines. I drop a little patty behind me because those people also love to try flanking. They're rarely looking for a little ground kiss. It's not so much "I know exactly where you are" as "you announced yourself and now I am AGGRESSIVELY hunting you". A lot of people in this game don't seem to expect jukes, retreats, bull rushes, and booby traps all used together in one combo, so I use them generously.
