How to die less!

Technically a suggestion about buying something that makes you survive more isn't really the best tip. It cannot by applied with skill as you just need credits for it.

Something to take note of is reaction speed. After playing this game for a while, you need to learn how to be as efficient as possible. Take me for example, where I am said to always use the l118a. Nowadays, there are a lot more weapons that can kill you easily. If I can get to the enemy FIRST, preferably strike first, and be more atoned to my weapon (i.e. head shots), I have an improved chance of survival.

Another things is with the "jump and shoot" strategy. The point of it is to be sprinting while jumping, you can get a boost while under the slowness effect. Because of this, the meta has underlined this strategy and has changed to a lot of players in-scope, standing still, and still imputing in the air. While, like in the OP, it does reduce the chance of head shots, most threats will be the isolator, skull crusher, ant he crossbow, which won't be protected from by simply jumping in place. Frankly, it looks silly to see people not even trying to sprint when trying to jump, and just standing there, jumping, thinking it will help them in some way. An example, as I am sure people have seen this happen, is the player who shifts behind a corner with a crossbow, under perfect cover and even hiding their name, jumping in place while proceeding to commence their crossbow spam. If not doing so, jumping while in scope , but not actually sprinting, does the opposite, it REDUCES your mobility, and you can move even less if you are slowed down, standing still, and jumping. You can't move much when in that position. That is why the solution to this problem is what I just said in the first line of this paragraph, so spring while doing so, which is more than simply starting to jump while you are scoped in standing still. Technically, this explanation is ridiculous, as I have just explained my same reason twice, but thats what happened with the meta of this game unfortunately.

Even still, there is another action that can be taken to improve the aforementioned statement, which actually congregates both tips I have just mentioned: Trying to stay out of scope as much as possible. This is where the term "quickscoping" comes in, and frankly I have been under this idea since I started using the bolt-action rifles, which was the barret back a year ago. With some fast finger movement, you can maximize your mobility even further while doing this, as it is very useful while out of cover for extended time, more concerned about finding a safer location. This strategy also comes with more than simply pressing buttons fast enough. I am mores talking about fully automatic rifles, like the lamentation. The skull crusher can be included here, but on a lesser degree. The thing, of course, about the lamentation is that you usually need to stay in scope to use this weapon. My point with this is that, another thing to be aware of is when to stay in scope, and when to move. Knowing when you can attack and when to flee is another important trait to learn when in combat, as just shooting your weapon, perfectly still, while again jumping, really just makes you a sitting duck, and as good as your weapon can be, someone on the opposite team will get the idea to shoot the immobilized player before they get a killstreak.

 

1. Or you could jump and move at the same time, so that you can dodge. If it's an isolator user and they manage to hit you while you're jumping and strafing, congratulate them. You need some skill to hit a moving target like that.

2. While armor does help a lot, it leads to less "legit" nukes in my eyes. A true pro should be able to nuke without using armor, in my opinion. Plus it drains your credits, and only MVPs and some VIPs end up using armor a lot...

 

Nice guide.
How to die less, also meaning how to somewhat become a better players?
Well, good job.
