General Tips & Tricks
- Running with your knife out gives you a little bit of an advantage of speed.
- Running then Ctrl + Jump will allow you to long jump.
- When escoring an objective such as the EV. The more people that are on it, the faster it will go. This does not work anymore. EVs have a fixed speed now!
- When arming, defusing or fixing, you can move around a bit. Always keep movement going.
- Always finish off players. Medics can just run in and bring them back if they're downed.
- A melee hit on downed players result in an instant kill instead of wasting bullets.
- You can hop in the EV to use the mounted machine gun.
- Multiple people repairing do not stack.
- When revived you have a spawn shield that lasts for around 2s, but will be canceled if you use a combat/ability action.
- You do double damage with headshots.
- Always move. The whole game is about keeping movement.
- Don't stay on mounted machine guns too long. You're an easy target.
- Play the objective. You get more points instead of going around killing. If someone planted C4 to enable an area. Try to defuse or destroy it.
- You can get ammo from the ammo station by Kira even if they're on the opposite team. (Does not work with Aura's healing station).
