Tips and tricks
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- Aim first, then shoot. Spraying costs time or ammo and rarely helps; a single well-placed shot almost always beats three rushed ones.
