The battles can get pretty intense under the bigtop... best go in there prepared! OK, so nothing I tell you here is guaranteed to make you win but it's better than being a sitting duck, right? :)

RULE #1: Never stand still! Unless you're sure you are safe, stopping for any length of time could provide your opponent an opportunity to get a good bead on you. Once that happens, you're toast.

RULE #2: Learn to strafe. Straffing is when you move in one direction while firing (or just facing) another. Useful for taking a quick look around a corner. Even better in combat!

RULE #3: Mix up your movements. If you always use the same "step step jump" routine, opponents will catch on real fast. Always keep them guessing! Crouching makes you a smaller target... throw one of those moves in now and then. Zig-zag and jump when running down long corridors.

RULE #4: Know your weapons, and be able to change them quickly. With the variety of range and strength, there's a "right" weapon for every situation.

Get used to following your target with your crosshairs, even after you pull the trigger (on a whip??)
