-Knowledge is YOUR Best Bet!

Knowing you weapons is important. If you think your Crossbow is full auto 30 yard killing machine, think again. Know your optimum ranges for each gun you use. Also know your ROF. If you have a high ROF gun then you want to get closer where you can fend them off as they come. Try to stick to more uneven ground for you can run and gun with efficiency. If you ROF is slow, like an SM5K, then hang back, try to find a good hidey-hole. Then take every shot that presents itself. Use the accuracy. If you are hauling around 2 RF20s, or the equivalent, then get in real close and unleash a massive burst of foamy death with one and use the other to defend yourself while you reload. You like close combat. Barrel tapping should occur with some frequency for you.

Know your enemy. If you know one of the guys on the other team has deadly accuracy and you are in the open, MOVE! Try and anticipate what they are doing. Don?t let any person on the opposite team get settled in where they want to be. That?s bad for you. Try scare tactics. They work occasionally. Make them retreat to hard to traverse conditions. Have them advance into the open where a good ambush point is. Work them against nature.

And finally know the terrain. If you know that the field has lots of cover use it, don?t abuse standing in the middle of a field scratching the front of your back. You <3 Cover. Try and work yourself into a flanking position by moving the other team or isolating them with rushes. If you know where the good ambush positions are, use them. If you can go around and take 2 guys out with an RF20 then do it. Use every thing that is thrown at you to your advantage. If it is in a desert environment wear tan clothing, and in a forest wear green. It may not make you invisible but it breaks up your outline. And finally, NERF FOR FUN.
