Tactical Knowledge

Weapons & Vehicles Tactics

A good combo for weapons to have is a Battle Rifle, a Shotgun and a Regenerator.

Going to the basement of the map through the “chute” is a good escape route. If being pursued, strategically throwing grenades to an exit of the chute can either kill or wound any enemy’s that are chasing you.

Many “spore pods” that explode can be used to your advantage. They are located in the underground part of the map.

Securing the ghost and finding people in the lower levels to attack is a good strategy. The underground is a tiny area that is hard to escape, so players are trapped and a good chance for you to splatter them.

Offense and Defense

You can rush for the sniper OR the rockets at the beginning of the game, however, also camping beside the two of the weapons and wait for other players to ambush as they attempt to pick them up is a good tactic to use as well. This way you know they are down a teammate or two and you can aquire the weapons without having to immediately defend an attack.

If sniping is your best or preferred tactic, grab the Sniper Rifle and stay on the outermost edges of this map. This will help in preventing you from getting teamed up on.

A team mate that gets the regenerator with an Assault Rifle is usually good backup tactic. But if you’re going to work with the sniper try keeping your kills to a minimum unless you would prefer to be hunted down.

A teammate that holds position atop a structure can easily spot enemies and call out their position so the whole team can find them quickly and score easily.

A very bizarre tactic is to team up with a team mate and get on a Mongoose with a Brute Shot. This can be very useful in getting quick kills and damage to the opposing team. Watch out though, you are an easy target for the Battle Rifle and can be flipped easy with a well planted Grenade.

Enhanced Knowledge

Game Variant Tactics

For FFAs and Multi-Team, it is preferred to stay on the edges of the map to prevent yourself from being ganged-up on. You can gang up on others but it can be easy for your kills to be stolen and get yourself killed in the end by others.

In game types such as Braaains, (Infection) if you start out as a human, communicate with your team as much as possible. Get your team to go down to into the bunker. The best bunker to be in is the red one, not the blue one because the zombies spawn there.

Once you’re in the bunker, give each one a job. Have some guard the doors, some guard the windows, and the others guard the hole in the ceiling. They will usually have a hard time killing you, but if they get one of your teammates’, zombies do multiply fast. (The people that guard the doors are most likely to get killed first.)

Advanced Tactics

General

When getting shot by a pesky ghost and you don’t have rockets, use a Brute Shot to flip them easily. Or you can use a spike grenade to kill them.

Holding the Top Mid with your team can be a good tactic because you can watch were the enemy is spawning and get a good target on them. Have one by Shotgun, one by Sniper and two holding out the hill.

If your teammates can control the map with all Battle Rifles and Regenerators, you’ve pretty much won the game along with the power weapons and the ghost.

If you go slightly down the ramp into your base you can jump onto the ledge above. It proves to be easier to get to other major spots at the beginning of the game.

Have all of your team members throw grenades at the sniper spawn while people are running to go get it. It can prove to be quite easy to snag a few easy kills while securing the sniper area.

Sniping & Ambush Positions

• Tree Camper
Getting on the trees in this map can prove to be good ambush spots. If you go to the end branches and crouch with a preferable weapon you can sometimes score easy kills this way because opponents that are not attentive and don’t survey their surroundings well will become easy targets for you to score on.

• Cover Sniping
Sniping from behind rocks, on trees or in a heavily sheltered place that has a “chute” is best environment for a sniper.

• Goose Jump


You can use a mongoose that is located near the base to jump onto a ledge on top of the bases. You can use it to snipe or ambush unsuspecting people trying to sneak into your base.

• Ledge Camping
Another great spot to hide is in the Wormhole located a top the shotgun base. If you walk off there slowly, you can land on a small ledge thus you will be well hidden. It provides enough room for two players to hide and ambush.

• Window Shopping
Another good surprise for the enemy is going down into your base towards the window. Looking out you can see the other base and on the floor the rockets. A good tactic is to pick up spike grenades (in font of the window) and throw them at the floor or the person to score an easy kill.

• Cubby Hole
In the back of each base there is a small cubby that you can jump into. Use this for camoflauged sniping.
